How does ImportGenius handle data privacy and security?

ImportGenius handles data privacy and security by adhering to GDPR principles and implementing various measures. We collect personal and usage data for service provision, improvement, and marketing, retaining it only as long as necessary. Users have rights to access, rectify, delete, and limit data use. 

While ImportGenius employs commercially acceptable security measures, we acknowledge no method is 100% secure. We use third-party services for payments and analytics, ensuring these parties only access data for specific tasks. International data transfers occur with adequate controls in place. 

At ImportGenius, we are transparent about our practices, allow users to opt out of marketing communications, and provide contact information for privacy-related inquiries. We also have policies for children's privacy, not collecting information from anyone under 18, and regularly update our privacy policy, notifying users of changes.
