How we share information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

• Service providers. Vendors that help us host, secure, analyze, communicate through, and operate the Services, including cloud infrastructure, database, email, analytics, and payment providers.
• Integrations you direct. Third parties you choose to connect with the Services, subject to their own privacy policies.

• With your direction or consent. Other parties when you ask us to share information or otherwise authorize us to do so.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some analytics or advertising technologies may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under certain privacy laws. You may contact us to exercise applicable opt-out rights.

05

Cookies, local storage, and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies, including browser local storage, to keep the Services working, remember progress and preferences, support authentication, understand site performance, and measure the effectiveness of our communications. For example, the assessment experience may store your email address, assessment identifier, and selected source type on your device so you can continue the process.

We may use providers such as Vercel Analytics and, when configured, Meta Pixel. These providers may collect information about your browser, device, and interactions with our site. You can limit cookies through your browser settings and use available platform or industry opt-out controls. Blocking some technologies may affect Service functionality.

06

Retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide the Services, maintain business and transaction records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary based on the type of information, the nature of our relationship, and applicable requirements.

Source code and assessment materials are treated as confidential project information and access is limited to personnel and service providers who need it to deliver the requested work. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

07

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal information; to object to or restrict certain processing; to withdraw consent; or to opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising. You may also opt out of marketing email by using the unsubscribe link in a message or contacting us.

To submit a privacy request, email admin@studioxconsulting.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing the request. Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights. You may appeal a decision by replying to our response and stating that you wish to appeal.
