07Sharing & disclosures
We do not sell personal data. We share it only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers (processors): hosting, database, email delivery, analytics, payment processing, customer support tooling. Each is bound by a written data-processing agreement.
- Within your organization: teammates with access to your workspace can see workspace-level data you choose to add.
- Legal compliance: if required by law, court order, or a binding request from a competent authority.
- Business transfers: if Digital Hubz LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred. We will notify affected users in advance.
- With your direction: for example, when you publish a placement via our Ranking Service or export a report to a third-party tool.
08International transfers
We operate from Georgia. Some of our processors (hosting, email, analytics, payments) are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other jurisdictions. When we transfer personal data outside Georgia or the EEA, we use appropriate safeguards — including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms — to protect your data.
09Retention
We keep personal data only as long as we need it.
- Account data: for the life of your account, then for up to 36 months after closure for legal, tax, and audit purposes.
- Tracked-prompt history: kept while the subscription is active; deleted within 90 days of cancellation unless you export or request earlier deletion.
- Billing records: 7 years, to satisfy applicable tax law.
- Marketing contacts: until you unsubscribe or 24 months of inactivity, whichever comes first.
- Support tickets: 24 months after the ticket is closed.
10Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification: ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure: ask us to delete your data (subject to legal exceptions).
- Restriction: ask us to limit how we process your data.
- Portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. We may ask you to verify your identity before acting on a request.
11Security
We take security seriously. We use industry-standard safeguards including TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest for sensitive data stores, role-based access controls, audit logging, secret rotation, and least-privilege access for our team. We undergo independent security reviews and are SOC 2 Type II aligned.
No system is perfectly secure. If we become aware of a personal-data breach affecting you, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority where legally required.
12Children
The Service is not intended for individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
13Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change, we will notify you in advance — by email, in-product banner, or other reasonable means. The "Effective" date at the top of this policy will always reflect the latest version.
