We may disclose information only as described below.
Other Users and Publicly Visible Content

Where required, Inspectorify provides notice and obtains permission before personal data is shared with a third-party AI provider.
We do not authorize these providers to use personal information received from Inspectorify for their own independent advertising or marketing purposes.

5. International Processing and Transfers
Inspectorify is available to users in multiple countries.
We and our service providers may process information in Canada, the United States, or other countries where our service providers operate.
This means information may be processed outside your country of residence and may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

- Maintain security and prevent fraud or abuse
- Resolve disputes
- Enforce our agreements and policies

- Comply with applicable legal obligations
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is processed.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we delete or anonymize it, subject to applicable legal, security, fraud-prevention, enforcement, and backup requirements.
Information may remain temporarily in secure backups until those backups are deleted or overwritten through our normal backup processes.
7. Account and Data Deletion
You may request deletion of your Inspectorify account and associated personal information.
Delete Your Account in Inspectorify
You can permanently delete your account directly in the Inspectorify application:
- Open Inspectorify and sign in to the account you want to delete.
- Select Profile from the app navigation.
- Select Edit profile in your profile header.
- Scroll to the Danger zone.
- Select Delete account.
- Review the permanent deletion warning, then select Delete account again to confirm.
After confirmation, Inspectorify deletes the account and signs you out. This action cannot be undone. It deletes your posts, comments, messages, AI chats, uploaded images, profile, and other data associated with the account, subject to the limited retention circumstances described below.
If you cannot access the application or your account, you may request help with account deletion by contacting:
privacy@inspectorify.com
Deleting an account is different from temporarily restricting, suspending, or deactivating an account.
When your account is deleted, Inspectorify will delete or anonymize personal information and user-generated content associated with the account, except information that we are required or permitted to retain for legitimate legal, security, fraud and abuse prevention, dispute-resolution, or enforcement purposes.
Information retained for these purposes will be limited to the purpose requiring its retention.
Residual copies may remain temporarily in secure backups until those backups are overwritten or deleted through our normal backup procedures.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, destruction, or misuse.
Data transmitted between supported Inspectorify applications and our servers is protected using encryption in transit where appropriate.
Access to systems containing personal information is restricted according to operational requirements.
However, no electronic transmission, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for protecting your account credentials and should notify us if you believe your account or credentials have been compromised.
10. Children's Privacy and Safety
Inspectorify is a professional platform intended for users who meet the minimum age required under applicable law and is not designed or directed specifically toward children.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
If we learn that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances prohibited by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to remove the information.
Inspectorify has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. Content or conduct involving child sexual exploitation or abuse, including CSAM, is prohibited.
Users may report safety concerns through Inspectorify's reporting mechanisms or contact:

- Moderation and safety notifications
- Service-related communications
- Important changes to the Services, Terms, or Privacy Policy
If Inspectorify sends optional promotional or marketing communications, you may opt out using the method provided in the communication or applicable account settings.
Opting out of promotional communications will not prevent necessary account, transactional, security, safety, or service communications.
12. Third-Party Links and Services
Inspectorify may contain links to third-party websites, resources, opportunities, events, products, or services.
When you follow a link to an independent third-party service, that service's privacy practices and terms apply.
Inspectorify is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of independent third parties.
We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
