After a certain time, collected data does not remain in the system, after requirements for satisfying the reporting, accounting, and legal requisites.
Client Rights in the European Union
Clients and users residing in the EU enjoy many rights and privileges when it comes to personal data, including its collection, processing, restriction, and elimination of that data. To access any information or exercise any right, feel free to connect with Mark at [email protected].

However, the company does not guarantee that the third-party service providers will rectify or amend the original data as our capacity for data audits outside of our company is extremely limited.

Clients hold the right to request the erasure of any information or personal data they want to be removed from our platform. In case any third party is holding that information, it will be notified to carry out changes accordingly. However, we cannot take responsibility for any malpractice or non-compliance by these third-party service providers.

Location of Data Storage & Transfers
From the EU, the US, to India, our services are in demand from around the globe. However, to provide streamlined services, we only rely on the US and the European Economic Area (EEA) to store, use, and transfer any information.
For the clients in the EU, the company may share the information internally, which could lead it to outside the region, that is EEA. In addition to this, the company may also share necessary information with trusted third-party service providers to make our services, secure, efficient, and up to date according to modern standards.
Even when any personal data leaves the EEA, the company offers the same guarantee of safety and protection with one of the following safeguards:
- In case of data transfer to third parties by the company, it will only be transferred to those countries that are recognized by the European Commission for providing necessary safeguards to the personal information of clients across the board
- The company will also employ special contracts, endorsed and approved by the European Commission to provide stringent security in Europe and beyond
Amendments in Company Structure
In the event of any reorganizing or restructuring of the company, including but not limited to mergers, acquisitions, etc., the client data will be transferred along with other assets of the company to new owners.
However, clients will be promptly notified about the development via email and the options available to them at the time as to what they want to do with their personal information.
Also, the Privacy Policy outlined on this page is subjected to revisions and amendments periodically, owing to changes in both internal and external compliance structures. In such cases, the recent and applicable version of the Privacy Policy will be uploaded on the website, on this page, to avoid any confusion on the clients’ end.
For those amendments in the Privacy Policy that can directly affect, in terms of limiting or restricting, clients’ rights and privileges, clients will be notified promptly through email.
