We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our service and hold certain information. This includes:

• Cookies: Files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier.
• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website and app. Google Analytics gathers information about website and app use by means of cookies. The information gathered is used to create reports about the use of our website and app.

International Data Transfers

Your personal data is primarily stored and processed within the European Union (EU). However, in some cases, your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction.

We prioritize storing your personal data within the European Union (EU) to ensure compliance with GDPR and to provide a high level of data protection.

We are committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws. This means we implement robust safeguards to protect your personal data, regardless of where it is processed.

In the event that we need to transfer your data outside the EU, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These may include using Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, ensuring that the recipient country has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission, or obtaining your explicit consent for the transfer where required.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and the applicable legal requirements.

For mailing list information stored with Mailgun, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in our emails. Upon unsubscribing, your contact information will be removed from our active mailing lists, but may be retained in Mailgun's systems for a period of time as part of their data retention policies.

Documents signed and stored using DocuSeal are retained securely for the duration required by applicable laws and regulations. After this period, or upon your request (subject to legal requirements), documents will be securely deleted from DocuSeal's systems.

Google Analytics data is retained for 26 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted from Google's servers.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the version number.
