5. Disclosure of Your Information — When and With Whom
We may share your information in limited circumstances:

- With Your Consent: We may share personal information in other cases if we have obtained your explicit consent.
We will not sell or rent your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes without your consent.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy — such as to provide the Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or as needed for security or fraud prevention.
If you request deletion of your account or personal data (see your rights below), we will delete or anonymize your personal data, unless we must retain certain information for legitimate business or legal reasons (for example, tax or accounting records).
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures may include secure data centers, encryption, access controls, and other security best practices.
However — note that no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for protecting your account credentials and any device or login information.
If you believe your personal information has been compromised, please contact us immediately (see Contact section below).
8. International Data Transfers
Because Searchify.IO is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, but serves users globally, your personal information may be transferred to — and stored or processed in — Canada or other countries where our service providers or affiliates reside.
By using the Services or providing personal information, you consent to this transfer, storage, or processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
When such transfers occur, we will take steps to ensure your personal data receives adequate protection, including contractual safeguards or other appropriate measures.

You may also opt out of marketing-related communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or contacting us directly.
Please note: In certain cases, we may need to retain some information to comply with our legal obligations or to complete transactions you initiated.
10. Cookies and Tracking Technologies / Cookie Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top. If changes are material (e.g. change in data practices, new data collection, new third-party sharing, etc.), we will provide prominent notice, such as via email or website banner, prior to the change taking effect.
