For users located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with similar data protection laws, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

Contractual necessity: to perform our obligations under the Terms and provide the Service you have requested, including account management and processing your analyses.

Legitimate interests: to operate, secure, and improve the Service; to prevent fraud and abuse; and to send service-related communications, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Consent: to send optional marketing communications and to use certain non-essential cookies, where you have provided explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Legal obligation: to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, and lawful requests from government authorities.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share or disclose your information only in the following circumstances:

Service providers: We share information with trusted third-party vendors and contractors who process data on our behalf to support the Service, including cloud hosting providers (Google Cloud), AI model providers (Google LLC), payment processors (Stripe), email service providers (SendGrid), and analytics platforms. These providers are contractually bound to process data only as necessary to perform their services and to maintain appropriate security.

AI model processing: URLs and content you submit for analysis are transmitted to third-party AI model providers for processing. Please review the privacy policies of those providers, as their data handling practices may differ from ours.

Legal requirements: We may disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process (such as a court order or subpoena), or lawful governmental request.

Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy involving the Company, your information may be transferred to the acquiring or successor entity, subject to applicable privacy law protections.

Protection of rights: We may disclose information to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, its users, or others, or to detect, prevent, or address fraud or security incidents.

Aggregated and anonymized data: We may share aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for research, product development, or reporting purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. In general: account data is retained for the duration of your account and for a reasonable period thereafter; analysis data is retained according to your account tier and settings; billing records are retained as required by applicable financial regulations; and communication data is retained as reasonably necessary for support and legal compliance purposes.

When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it. Certain residual data may be retained in backup systems for limited periods consistent with our backup and disaster-recovery procedures.

You may request deletion of your personal data as described in the "Your Rights" section below, subject to applicable legal obligations that require us to retain certain data.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS), access controls and authentication, secure cloud infrastructure, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information, and any transmission of personal data is at your own risk. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately at fade@infarium.com.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable law.

8. International Transfers

The Company is operated in the United States. Your information may be transferred to, processed in, and stored in the United States or other countries, which may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country of residence.

Where required by applicable law, we implement appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant regulatory authority, or we rely on other lawful transfer mechanisms. By using the Service, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your information as described in this section.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal data: the right to access and obtain a copy of your personal data; the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data; the right to request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to our legal obligations; the right to restrict or object to certain processing; the right to data portability; and the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

For users in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at fade@infarium.com. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law, typically within thirty (30) days. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

You may also manage notification preferences and certain account settings directly within the Service.
