Understanding How Your Information Powers Our Services
When you visit and navigate our Services, we process your information with legitimate business interests in mind, ensuring compliance with legal obligations while respecting your consent. The administrative product and service features we deliver depend on understanding user inquiries and providing support to respond and solve issues effectively. Your personal data becomes aggregated and anonymized so no individual or identifiable details compromise your identity, yet we can still improve our terms, conditions, and policies based on feedback you request us to consider. This fulfillment of our contract means we automatically collect certain device usage patterns – your IP address, browser characteristics, operating system preferences, language settings, referring URLs, country and location data – all technical elements vital for security, operation, internal analytics, and reporting purposes without revealing your name or contact details.
The way we share information follows strict legal basis requirements – we only disclose when required by governmental requests, judicial proceedings, court orders, or subpoenas for national security enforcement. Our vital interests include the need to investigate and prevent violations of our policies, fraud, threats to safety, illegal activities, or when evidence in litigation demands performance under contract obligations. We work with carefully selected vendors, consultants, third-party service providers, contractors, and agents for payment processing, analysis, email delivery, hosting, customer marketing, and tracking technology to analyze, track, determine popularity of content and online activity – never for promotional purposes without your permission. Major partners like Stripe, Google Analytics, Amazon Web Services (AWS) provide infrastructure support, while business transfers during merger, sale of assets, financing, or acquisition of our company might necessitate data transition under strict laws that comply with and provide transparent services.
Your Control Over Cookies and Data Retention
Cookies and similar tracking technologies like web beacons and pixels help us collect and store information to access essential functions, all detailed in our Cookie Policy. We keep your information only as necessary to fulfill purposes outlined in this privacy notice, unless required by law for retention period permitted by tax, accounting, or other legal requirements while you maintain an account with us as users. When ongoing legitimate business needs end, we delete or anonymize data, though backup archives might securely store and isolate it from further processing until deletion becomes possible.
Protecting Your Information and Rights
We’ve implemented appropriate organizational and technical security measures designed to protect personal information throughout our system, though no internet transmission can be 100% secure – you access services at your own risk within your chosen environment. We never knowingly collect data or market to children under 18 years of age – if you represent a parent or guardian of a minor dependent, or we learn about underage users, we immediately deactivate the account and take measures to delete records (contact us if you become aware of collected minor data at info@calculateconfidence.com). You can solicit us to review, change, or terminate your account anytime – residents of the European Economic Area who believe we’re unlawfully processing data can complain to local data protection supervisory authority (find contact details online). Your account settings let you update user preferences, and we’ll deactivate or delete from active databases, though some information gets retained in files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist investigations, enforce Terms of Use, or comply with legal requirements.
Browser Controls and Marketing Preferences
Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can remove or reject them, affecting certain features and services. For email marketing, unsubscribe via the link in emails we send, or by contacting us – you’ll be removed from the list, though service-related messages for administration remain necessary. You can opt-out through updated preferences in your profile. Web browsers, mobile operating systems, and applications include Do-Not-Track (DNT) features or settings you can activate to signal privacy preferences against having data about online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing signals has been finalized, so we don’t currently respond to browser DNT mechanisms that automatically communicate your choice not to be tracked. If a standard gets adopted we must follow in the future, we’ll inform you through practice updates in a revised version of this notice.
California Privacy Rights and Policy Updates
California residents have specific rights to access personal information under Civil Code Section 1798.83 (the Shine The Light law), which permits users to request and obtain once per year, free of charge, categories of data disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes, including names and addresses shared in the immediately preceding calendar year – submit requests in writing via our contact information. We update this policy as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws – the updated version gets indicated by a Revised date and becomes effective once accessible. For material changes to this privacy notice, we’ll notify you by prominently posting announcements or directly sending a notification. We encourage you to review frequently to stay informed about how we’re protecting your information over time. For questions or comments about this policy, email us at info@calculateconfidence.com.
