This data may include usage trends, statistical analyses, and other insights that help us optimize our Services.

To lawfully process personal data, many data protection laws require that we have a valid legal basis for doing so whenever we collect and use your information. This means we only process your personal data when one or more of the conditions listed below apply. Depending on the context in which we collect and use your data, the legal bases may include:

a. Consent

When you have given us your clear and affirmative permission to process your personal data for a specific purpose - for example, to receive marketing communications, newsletters, or optional features. You may withdraw your consent at any time, and withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing made prior to the withdrawal.

When processing is necessary to provide you with services you have requested or to fulfil our contractual obligations - for example, creating and managing your ProfileTap account, providing features you opt into, or delivering customer support.

c. Compliance with Legal Obligations

When processing your information is necessary to comply with laws or regulatory requirements - for example, maintaining records for taxation, responding to lawful requests by public or government authorities, or preserving information as required by applicable law.

d. Legitimate Interests

When we have a legitimate business interest in processing your data and that interest is not outweighed by your privacy rights - for example, to improve our services, protect our systems, prevent fraud, or ensure the security of our platform. When relying on legitimate interests, we always conduct an assessment to ensure fairness and transparency.

We may share your personal information with certain trusted third-party organizations and service providers to help us provide, operate, improve, and secure the ProfileTap platform. We only share the minimum amount of data necessary for these purposes, and we require our partners to protect your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

• Hosting and infrastructure providers that help operate our platform

d. User Consent

In certain cases, we may share your information with third parties when you have expressly consented to the sharing. You may withdraw your consent at any time, where permitted by applicable law.

e. Third-Party Privacy Practices

Third-party services that receive your information may have their own privacy practices. We do not control their policies and encourage you to review those practices directly on the third parties’ websites.

We understand the importance of safeguarding your personal information and are committed to protecting the data you entrust to us. We implement appropriate technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.

a. Where Your Data Is Stored

Your personal information may be stored and processed in secure servers located in regions where our services operate. We may transfer and store personal data in countries other than your own if necessary to provide the Services. In such cases, we ensure that suitable safeguards are in place to comply with applicable data protection standards.

b. Security Measures We Use

To help protect your data, we use a combination of industry-standard security technologies and policies, including but not limited to:

• Encryption - personal and sensitive data is encrypted in transit (e.g., using HTTPS) and at rest where applicable.
• Access Controls - restricted access rights to personal data only to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.
• Firewalls & Secure Protocols - network and application firewalls, secure communication protocols, and other protective controls.
• Monitoring & Audits - regular audits of our systems and security practices to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. These measures are designed to prevent unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration of your data.

c. Data Breach Response

In the unlikely event of a data breach involving your personal information, we have procedures in place to:

• Investigate and identify the cause of the breach;
• Contain and mitigate any adverse effects;
• Notify affected users and regulators where required by law. We will communicate breach notifications in a timely and transparent manner in compliance with applicable legal obligations.

d. Your Role in Data Security

While we use reasonable safeguards to protect information, you also have a role in keeping your data safe. This includes:

• Keeping your account password confidential and secure;
• Logging out of your account when using shared or public devices;
• Being cautious about phishing attempts or suspicious communications.

We retain your personal information for only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and accounting requirements, or as otherwise required to support legitimate business operations. This practice helps minimize risk, protect your privacy, and reduce unnecessary storage of outdated or irrelevant data. Personal data is not retained longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

a. Retention Based on Purpose

Different types of data we collect are retained for varying lengths of time, depending on how the data is used and whether we have an ongoing relationship with you. For example:

• Account and Profile Information: Retained as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of re-activation or legal compliance.
• Transactional and Service Usage Data: Retained for as long as needed to provide the Services and to support legitimate business purposes.
• Communications and Support Requests: Retained for a period needed to address your request and respond effectively.
• Marketing and Newsletter Data: Retained until you withdraw consent or opt out. We regularly review retention periods to ensure data is not held beyond the time necessary to serve its purpose or satisfy legal obligations.

b. Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Certain laws and regulations may require us to retain data for specific minimum periods (e.g., tax, accounting, dispute resolution). In such situations, we will retain the relevant data for the legally mandated duration even if the original purpose has ended.

c. Deletion and Anonymization

Once data is no longer required for its intended purpose or mandated retention period has expired, we will:

• Securely delete or destroy personal data if it is no longer needed and safe to do so; or
• Anonymize or aggregate the data so that it cannot be linked back to an identifiable person.

We respect your privacy and are committed to giving you control over your personal information. Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

a. Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, including details about how your data is processed.

b. Right to Rectification

If any personal data we hold is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you may request that we correct or update it.

c. Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten)

Under certain conditions, you may ask us to delete your personal information, such as when it is no longer needed for the purposes we originally collected it, or if you withdraw consent on which the processing is based and no other legal basis for processing exists.

d. Right to Restrict or Object to Processing

Where permitted by applicable law, you may request that we limit how your personal data is used or object to certain types of processing. This may include processing for direct marketing or other purposes that you do not wish to consent to.

e. Right to Data Portability

You may have the right to request that the personal data you provided be transferred to another controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format where technically feasible.

When you use the ProfileTap platform, we may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other similar technologies (“Tracking Technologies”) to collect information about your use of the Services.

At ProfileTap, we are committed to protecting the privacy and safety of all users, including children. Privacy protections for minors are an important legal and ethical consideration in many jurisdictions.

a. General Rule - Minors Should Not Provide Personal Data

Our Services are designed for general audiences and not specifically directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18 without appropriate consent from a parent or guardian. If you are under 18, please do not submit any personal information through our Services.

b. Parental Consent Required (If Applicable)

In some jurisdictions (e.g., under privacy laws like the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act - COPPA), websites and apps must obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under a specific age (often under 13). Our Privacy Policy reflects this principle: we will not intentionally collect personal data from minors without consent where required by law. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate parental consent, we will take steps to promptly delete such information.

c. How Parents Can Manage Children’s Data

Parents or legal guardians who believe their child has provided information on ProfileTap without consent or who want to request deletion of such information can contact us using the details in the “Contact Us” section. Upon verification, we will assist in reviewing, rectifying, or deleting the child’s personal data as required.

d. Safe Practices for Protecting Children’s Privacy

We recommend that parents and guardians:

• Supervise their children’s online activities.
• Review privacy policies of services used by their children.
• Educate children about online safety and appropriate data sharing.

a. Links to Third-Party Websites or Services

Our Services may include links to websites, applications, or services operated by third parties that are not controlled or owned by ProfileTap. When you click on a third-party link or use a third-party service through our platform, you may be redirected to a site that has its own privacy practices, terms, and policies. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or security of any third-party websites or services. We recommend that you review the privacy policies and terms of those third parties before providing any personal information.

b. How Third Parties May Use Your Data

Some third-party services may collect or receive information about your interactions with our platform for analytics, advertising, or functionality purposes. For example, analytics providers or social media features may automatically collect data when you interact with them. Their access to personal data or usage information is subject to their respective privacy policies, and we encourage you to review those policies for details about their data practices.

c. Your Responsibility With Third-Party Links

Please be aware that:

• We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites, even if you access them through links on our platform.
• Third parties may place cookies or use tracking technologies independent of our platform.
• Your interactions with third-party services are governed by their privacy policies and terms.

d. Recommendation to Users

For your own privacy protection, we strongly encourage you to read the privacy policies and terms of service of any third-party website or service you visit before submitting any personal data or interacting further.

In the course of providing our Services, we may transfer, store, or process personal information in countries other than the one in which you reside. Because data protection laws vary by jurisdiction, we take steps to ensure that personal data remains protected regardless of where it is transferred.

a. Transfers to Other Countries

Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your home jurisdiction, including where our service providers or partners operate. These transfers may be necessary for providing the Services, fulfilling contractual obligations, or improving our platform.

b. Safeguards and Appropriate Measures

Where we transfer personal data internationally, we implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to help ensure that your information remains protected in accordance with applicable data protection principles. Such safeguards may include:

• Data processing agreements with third parties
• Encryption and security measures to protect data in transit and at rest
• Contracts incorporating recognized transfer clauses or standards where required under applicable law These safeguards are designed to maintain a level of protection that is consistent with your expectations and legal requirements in applicable jurisdictions.

c. Compliance With Applicable Laws

If we transfer personal data subject to comprehensive privacy frameworks such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), United Kingdom data protection law, or other similar laws, we will comply with the relevant transfer mechanisms and requirements (such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other safeguards) when applicable. In India, the current data protection framework (such as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and associated rules) does not specify detailed additional restrictions solely for cross-border transfers, but may require compliance with general data protection principles and any future cross-border transfer restrictions or lists published by the government. We will adhere to applicable laws as they evolve.

d. Your Rights in Relation to Transfers

Where required by law, you will be informed about the cross-border transfer of your personal data and the safeguards we employ. Depending on your location, you may have rights to request details about such transfers or to seek copies of the safeguards used.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, business operations, regulatory requirements, or new features in our Services. Because privacy laws and technology evolve continuously, this document is intended to be a living and regularly reviewed record of how we handle your personal information.

a. When Changes May Occur

We may update the Privacy Policy when there is a change in how we collect, use, store, share, or protect personal information - such as:

• Introducing new features or services that affect personal data practices
• Updating processing purposes or legal bases
• Adopting new third-party integrations or technologies
• Changes in applicable laws, regulations, or industry standards These updates ensure the policy remains accurate and compliant with current legal and operational requirements.

b. How We Notify You

• Displaying a notice on our website or within the Services
• Sending an email or in-app notification to affected users We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your personal information.

c. Your Continued Use After Updates
