You should not submit highly sensitive personal information, passwords, payment credentials, private authentication tokens, or other secrets through AI features unless the feature explicitly requires such information.

7. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances.

Service Providers

We may disclose information to service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as:

• Cloud hosting

• Database infrastructure

• Authentication

• Email delivery

• Analytics

• AI processing

• Error monitoring

• Customer support

• Payment processing

• Security services

These providers may process personal information only as necessary to perform services for us and subject to applicable contractual obligations.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable laws or regulations

• Respond to legal process

• Respond to lawful requests from authorities

• Enforce our agreements

• Investigate fraud or security issues

• Protect the safety, rights, and property of AppBricks, our users, or others

Business Transfers

If AppBricks is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Any successor organization may continue processing your information subject to applicable law and this Privacy Policy or a replacement privacy notice.

With Your Consent

We may disclose information to third parties when you direct us to do so or otherwise provide your consent.

8. Third-Party Integrations

AppBricks may allow you to connect third-party products or services.

If you choose to connect an integration, AppBricks may exchange information with that third party as necessary to provide the integration.

Third-party services operate independently from AppBricks and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

We encourage you to review their privacy practices before connecting them to AppBricks.

9. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

AppBricks does not sell personal information in the traditional sense in exchange for money.

We also do not knowingly sell sensitive personal information.

Certain privacy laws define terms such as "sale," "share," or "targeted advertising" broadly. If AppBricks begins engaging in activities that fall within those definitions, we will provide applicable notices and choices as required by law.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide the Services

• Maintain your account

• Fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy

• Comply with legal obligations

• Resolve disputes

• Prevent fraud and abuse

• Enforce agreements

• Maintain legitimate business records

Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and why it was collected.

If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize associated personal information within a reasonable period unless we are required or permitted by law to retain it.

Certain backups, logs, financial records, fraud-prevention information, or other records may remain for longer periods where reasonably necessary.

We may retain aggregated or de-identified information that can no longer reasonably be linked to you.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized:

• Access

• Disclosure

• Alteration

• Loss

• Misuse

• Destruction

These safeguards may include encryption, access controls, authentication measures, monitoring, and secure infrastructure.

However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information processed through AppBricks.

12. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• Access personal information we hold about you

• Request correction of inaccurate information

• Request deletion of personal information

• Request restriction of processing

• Object to certain processing

• Receive a portable copy of certain information

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

• Opt out of certain marketing communications

You may also be able to manage or delete certain information directly through your AppBricks account.

To exercise privacy rights that are not available directly through the Services, contact us using the information provided below.

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

13. European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, applicable data protection laws may provide additional rights.

For purposes of applicable data protection law, AppBricks is generally the controller of personal information described in this Privacy Policy unless otherwise stated.

Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on the circumstances, we process personal information based on one or more of the following legal bases:

Performance of a Contract

We process information when necessary to provide the Services you requested or fulfill our agreement with you.

For example, we need certain account information to create and maintain your AppBricks account.

Legitimate Interests

We may process information where necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Our legitimate interests may include:

• Operating AppBricks

• Improving our Services

• Maintaining security

• Preventing fraud

• Understanding product usage

• Developing new functionality

Consent

We may process information based on your consent where required.

When processing relies on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before your consent was withdrawn.

Legal Obligations

We may process personal information where necessary to comply with legal obligations.

14. Your GDPR Rights

If the GDPR or similar legislation applies to you, you may have the right to:

Right of Access

You may request information about the personal information we process about you and receive a copy of that information.

Right to Rectification

You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.

Right to Erasure

You may request deletion of your personal information under certain circumstances.

This right is not absolute, and we may retain certain information where required by law or where another lawful basis applies.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may request that we restrict processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.

Right to Object

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.

You may also object at any time to processing for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Data Portability

Where applicable, you may request a copy of personal information you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

You may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

We encourage you to contact us first so we can attempt to address your concerns.

15. International Data Transfers

AppBricks and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country in which you live.

Those countries may have different data protection laws.

Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

These safeguards may include:

• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission

• UK-approved transfer mechanisms

• Adequacy decisions

• Other legally recognized transfer safeguards

16. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA"), may provide you with additional rights.

Subject to applicable exceptions, these may include the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect

• Access personal information

• Request deletion

• Request correction

• Know the categories of third parties to whom information is disclosed

• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information

• Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information

• Exercise your rights without discriminatory treatment

AppBricks does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

If our practices change in a way that constitutes a "sale" or "sharing" under the CCPA, we will provide appropriate mechanisms for exercising your rights.

17. Children's Privacy

AppBricks is not intended for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Where applicable law establishes a higher minimum age at which an individual may independently consent to the processing of personal information, that higher age may apply.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to AppBricks, please contact us.

18. Sensitive Personal Information

AppBricks is not designed for storing or processing highly sensitive personal information unless expressly supported by a specific feature.

Please avoid submitting information such as:

• Government identification numbers

• Financial account credentials

• Passwords

• Authentication tokens

• Health or medical records

• Biometric information

• Information revealing racial or ethnic origin

• Religious beliefs

• Political opinions

• Sexual orientation

• Other highly sensitive information

unless doing so is specifically necessary for a supported feature.

19. Automated Decision-Making

AppBricks may use automated systems and artificial intelligence to generate content, recommendations, analysis, or other outputs.

Unless specifically disclosed otherwise, we do not use automated processing to make decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects about individuals without appropriate human involvement.

AI-generated outputs may be inaccurate and should be reviewed before being relied upon for important decisions.

20. Third-Party Websites

The Services may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

We do not control the privacy practices of those third parties and are not responsible for their content or practices.

Any information you provide directly to a third party is governed by that third party's privacy policy.

21. Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a "Do Not Track" signal.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, AppBricks does not necessarily respond to Do Not Track signals unless required by applicable law.

22. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

If changes are material, we may provide additional notice, such as through the Services or by email where appropriate.

Your continued use of the Services following the effective date of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
