How We Share Information

We may disclose personal information in limited circumstances, including:

Service Providers

We may share information with trusted vendors and service providers who help us operate our business, Website, communications, analytics, CRM, scheduling, hosting, payment, or other services.

These providers are permitted to use information only as necessary to provide services to us or as otherwise permitted by law.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of AkmoScale, our users, clients, or others
• Detect, investigate, or prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, or illegal activity
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

Business Transactions

If AkmoScale is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

06

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal obligations, and protect our legitimate business interests.

The appropriate retention period depends on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it, subject to legal or legitimate business requirements.

AkmoScale follows the principle of collecting and retaining only information reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes.

07

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of a security incident affecting personal information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate, mitigate, and provide notices where required by applicable law.

08

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply to you, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include:

• The right to object to or restrict certain processing

09

Marketing Communications

If you provide your contact information to us, we may use it to respond to your inquiry and, where permitted by law, provide information about AkmoScale and our services.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the communication or by contacting us.

Even if you opt out of promotional communications, we may continue to send transactional or service-related communications when necessary.

10

International Data Transfers

AkmoScale may use service providers or infrastructure located in countries other than the country in which you live.

As a result, your personal information may be processed or stored internationally.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers of personal information, we will take reasonable steps to implement appropriate safeguards.

11

Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and AkmoScale does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without legally required consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

Where applicable law provides a higher age threshold or additional protections, we will comply with those requirements.

12

Third-Party Websites and Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services.

AkmoScale is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third parties.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website or service you visit.

13

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, our Website may not respond to such signals unless required by applicable law.

14

Please submit privacy requests by email rather than by social media message, so that we can verify the request and keep a record of how it was handled.

15

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