We never use your data for marketing, advertising, or any commercial profiling.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not share your personal data with any third parties whatsoever. The only exception is when we are legally compelled to disclose information (e.g., a valid court order or statutory requirement). In such cases, we will provide only the minimum data necessary to comply with the law.

7. Your Rights

  • Access & correction: Request a copy of your personal data or ask us to correct inaccuracies.
  • Deletion: Delete your account and associated data at any time.
  • Opt‑out: Since we do not conduct marketing, there are no marketing opt‑outs required.

8. Security

We employ industry‑standard security measures (TLS encryption for data in transit, hashed passwords, limited access controls) to protect your information. No system can guarantee absolute security, but we continuously monitor and improve our safeguards.

9. International Transfers

If we use service providers located outside your country, we ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place to protect your data.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of Plantle after such changes constitutes acceptance.
