Scope of this Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the CerTracker platform and any applications, websites, and services that link to it. It does not apply to third-party services we do not control, even when accessed through links on our platform.

How we secure your data
CerTracker uses administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data, including encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, audit logging, and regular security reviews. See our Security Center for details. No system is 100% secure; you are responsible for protecting your account credentials.
Data retention
We retain personal data for as long as needed to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When data is no longer required, we securely delete or de-identify it.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA)
California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of "sales" or "sharing" of personal information. CerTracker does not sell personal information.
Children's privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
CerTracker is based in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance.
