You can manage these permissions in your device settings at any time.

2. How We Use Your Information

3. Legal Bases for Processing (Where Required)

Where applicable law requires a legal basis (such as GDPR/UK GDPR), we process personal data under one or more of the following:

• Performance of a contract (to provide requested Services)
• Legitimate interests (security, product improvement, analytics)
• Consent (for optional permissions and certain communications)
• Legal obligation (compliance with applicable laws)

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with:

• Other users, according to your profile and privacy settings (for example, visible profile info and shared content)
• Legal authorities, when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and platform integrity
• Successors in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets

All sharing is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to:

• Provide the Services
• Maintain account history and essential records
• Comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations
• Resolve disputes and enforce agreements

When data is no longer needed, we delete, anonymize, or securely de-identify it, subject to legal requirements.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, and disclosure.

However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your data
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Request data portability
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

9. Children's Privacy

Connectify is not directed to children under 13 (or a higher age where required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children without appropriate authorization.

If you believe a child has provided personal data unlawfully, contact us and we will take appropriate action.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

Connectify may integrate with or link to third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the app, website, or other appropriate means. The "Last updated" date reflects the latest revision.
