We and our service providers use cookies, web beacons, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to collect information, personalize your experience, analyze usage, and deliver targeted content. These technologies may be used across all of our websites, applications, and platforms.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser or device settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Services. By continuing to use the Services without adjusting your settings, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: with trusted third parties who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery, customer support), subject to confidentiality obligations and limited to the purposes for which the information was provided.
• Affiliates and subsidiaries: with Stackific affiliates and subsidiaries for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
• Legal requirements: when required by law, regulation, legal process, subpoena, court order, or enforceable governmental request.
• Protection of rights: when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Stackific, our users, or the public.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, financing, or bankruptcy, in which case your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.
• With consent: with your express consent or at your direction.
• Aggregated or de-identified data: we may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, without restriction.

5. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than the country in which it was collected, including Canada, the United States, and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws different from the laws of your country. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of your information to these jurisdictions.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet, no method of electronic storage, and no software application is 100% secure. We cannot and do not guarantee the absolute security of your information. You acknowledge and accept these inherent risks when providing information to us or using the Services.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, provide the Services, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and as otherwise permitted by law. When information is no longer needed, we will delete it or anonymize it in accordance with our data retention practices.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction and applicable data protection laws (including PIPEDA, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other privacy regulations), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct or update inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• Request deletion or erasure of your personal information.
• Restrict or object to certain processing of your personal information.
• Request portability of your personal information in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time.
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below. We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframes required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

9. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 16, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as promptly as possible. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may contain links to, integrations with, or features powered by third-party websites, platforms, APIs, or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of any third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.

11. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Because there is no industry-wide standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. We will update this policy if a standard is established and we adopt a responsive approach.

12. Disclaimer

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, STACKIFIC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, ALTERATION OF, OR LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHERWISE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY SECURE AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION VIA THE INTERNET IS INHERENTLY RISKY. STACKIFIC DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACHES, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, OR DATA LOSS THAT OCCUR DESPITE OUR REASONABLE SECURITY MEASURES.

13. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Changes are effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of any of the Services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. It is your responsibility to review this policy periodically.
