You retain the right to retract this consent whenever we process based on consent. To do so, forward your request via our contact form. Kindly be aware that incomplete or non-relevant requests might not be acknowledged. Post authentication of your request, we will establish communication.

2.2. Contract Fulfillment: When you visit or engage with our website, it signifies your desire to utilize our Services. To deliver these services, certain Personal Data may be required – for instance, information about your locale to present you with relocation proposals from our affiliates (elaborated in section 3.1.1).

2.3. Valid Interests: We might utilize your Personal Data if we have a legitimate business rationale. This includes refining, endorsing, and advancing our Services (like personalizing your user journey or studying usage patterns) and safeguarding our operations (such as fraud prevention or fortifying website security).

3. We accumulate your Personal Data through many avenues - either directly from you, from your device's data, from your engagements with us, or based on your interactions with others.

Data We Handle. During your visits to the SaasGuru website or your utilization of our services, we might collect distinct information about your interactions and the way you use SaasGuru:

3.1. Data You Offer: Several services on SaasGuru may require you to submit specific Personal Data. Active and explicit consent is needed to access such services and features (e.g., providing your details and inclinations to be reached out by our associates (detailed in section 3.1.1) for customized promotions, opting into newsletters presented on SaasGuru). Certain data might be gathered when you agree to this Privacy Policy.

3.1.1. Collaborations with Third Parties: SaasGuru presents, evaluates, and juxtaposes various service contributors, associates, platforms, and brands (referred to as "Partners"), along with their services and products ("Products"). We might extend offers and products of partners to you through online requests based on your explicit choice and consent. This data assists in building a connection between you and the relevant partners. Furthermore, the information you submit is shared with our partners and is governed by their privacy policies and ours. The Personal Data you provide is processed by SaasGuru, as mentioned in the aforementioned section 2.

3.1.2.Contact Us: When you approach us, be it through our contact form, email, or other channels, you might share specific Personal Data like your name and email ID.

This aids us in identifying patterns, analyzing user trends, and observing user activities on SaasGuru and its associated services. The type of information we collect includes IP addresses assigned by your Internet Service Provider. There are specific reasons for which we collect IP addresses for a limited duration: firstly, to discern your geographical location (like country and language), ensuring we present services tailored to you; secondly, our automated tools scan and mark potentially fraudulent IP addresses; and lastly, we may store your IP address as proof of any permissions you grant us or our Partners.

Cookies are minor data files dispatched to your device upon visiting a website, which, on subsequent visits, helps the site recognize your device. Such cookies can save your online choices and track your website interactions. If you adjust your browser settings to decline cookies, certain site functions might not work optimally. Pixel tags are technologies used on sites to monitor online actions, sometimes used in tandem with cookies.

For an in-depth understanding of our cookie practices, please check our Cookie Policy.

3.3. Data From External Sources: SaasGuru, similar to other digital platforms, collaborates and interacts with third parties, including our Partners, affiliates, and other organizations. This collaboration often means we receive data from these third parties, including an internally generated user ID, a summary of your interactions with the Partners or details of Products you engaged with.

For some services, like click-by-call features, third-party vendors might assist with call management, monitoring, and success metrics. In such instances, only your phone number (without any added data) is shared with us briefly, primarily to manage and confirm successful interactions with our Partners. We use this data exclusively for the mentioned purposes unless you provide clear consent for additional usage.

8. Securing Your Data. At SaasGuru, along with our third-party services and affiliate partners, we've implemented robust data protection mechanisms and strategies to ensure that data transmitted, processed, and housed on our platforms, including our servers, remains secure. We employ encryption, such as SSL, for our Site and during data transport, periodically audit our data practices, and leverage trusted third-party solutions that adhere to high-security standards. Additionally, we have strict access protocols for our team members. However, it's important to note that no digital platform is entirely impervious to potential breaches. Thus, while we strive to offer the best protection possible, we cannot guarantee absolute immunity from unauthorized intrusions or other security threats.

9. Prioritizing Children's Safety. Our Site and Services are not intended for or targeted towards individuals below 18 years of age. We make it a point not to knowingly collect Personal Information from minors. If it comes to our attention that such information has been collected, we'll act swiftly to remove it.
