We will not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Consent: Where you have given clear consent (e.g., pre-registration).
  • Legitimate Interests: To operate and improve our Services, where your interests and rights do not override these interests.
  • Legal Obligation: Where we are required by law.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: Trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating our Services (e.g., Vercel for hosting and analytics, Google for forms and authentication). These parties are contractually bound to protect your data and may only use it for the purpose of providing the relevant service.
  • Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided the acquiring party agrees to honor this policy.

6. Google API Services

Flat Padi uses Google APIs and services (including Google OAuth and Google Forms). Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Specifically, we:

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Pre-registration data will be retained until our service launches or until you request deletion.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
