​
4) Purposes and legal bases (GDPR)
​
​​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
You may withdraw consent (e.g., for marketing) at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.
​
5) Cookies, SDKs & similar technologies
​
We use first‑party and third‑party cookies/SDKs for: (i) essential functionality (session/login), (ii) aggregated analytics, (iii) preferences, and (iv) consent‑based marketing. A cookie banner/preferences center will allow you to accept/deny non‑essential categories. DNT/GPC (Global Privacy Control) signals are honored to disable ad‑related sharing where technically feasible.
​
6) Data retention
​
-
Link/Redirect events (NFC/QR): idAItion stores event data for 180 days regardless of the plan contracted. After 180 days, data are aggregated/anonymized or deleted unless longer retention is required by law, security, or fraud‑prevention needs.
-
Accounts & billing: for the life of the account and any additional period required by law (e.g., tax/accounting).
-
Support: for a reasonable period for traceability and service improvement.
-
​
7) How we share information
​
-
Processors (service providers):
-
Stripe (payments), Shopify/Wix (e‑commerce/checkout, if applicable), Vercel/Render (hosting), PostgreSQL (databases/metrics), Notion (operations/CRM), Postmark (transactional email), MaxMind (IP geolocation), AI providers (image generation/processing with safeguards), email marketing and error monitoring/web analytics tools.
-
These processors act under contracts (including DPAs) and implement appropriate security measures.
-
-
Legal compliance: we may disclose information to authorities or third parties when required by law or to protect the rights, property, and safety of idAItion, Clients, and Users.
-
International transfers: when transferring data outside your jurisdiction, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., EU/UK Standard Contractual Clauses and additional transfer impact assessments as needed).
​
We do not sell personal information. We do not share for cross‑context behavioral advertising without express consent where required by law.
​
8) Security
​
We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures (encryption in transit, access controls, logging, environment segregation). No system is 100% secure; we recommend using strong/unique credentials and secure session practices (e.g., magic links).
​
9) Your privacy rights
​
9.1. EU/EEA/UK (GDPR)
You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, and objection. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Contact: projects@idaition.com.
​
9.2. United States state laws (e.g., California CPRA; Colorado/Connecticut/Virginia, etc.)
Depending on your state, you may have the rights to: know/access, correct, delete, opt out of Sale/Sharing and targeted advertising, limit the use/disclosure of sensitive information, and non‑discrimination for exercising rights. Submit a verifiable request to projects@idaition.com with subject “Privacy Rights Request”.
GPC: We honor Global Privacy Control signals to stop “sharing” for advertising where applicable.
​
9.3. Notice at collection (California and similar regimes)
Categories collected: identifiers (e.g., email, device IDs), commercial information (orders), internet/network activity (pages/events/logs), geolocation (approximate city/country via IP), inferences (aggregated metrics only), and customer records (billing/shipping). Sources: you, your device/activity, and service providers. Purposes: as outlined in Sections 4–6. Retention: as in Section 6. Disclosure: to processors listed in Section 7. Sale/Sharing: we do not sell; we only share for processing as described; opt‑out mechanisms provided where required.
​
10) Service‑specific: Redirects (NFC/QR)
​
-
When an End User taps/scans a connected object, our backend logs a technical event (see §3.2) to route to the destination URL and to produce aggregated analytics for the owning Client.
-
Clients do not receive full IPs or directly identifying information about End Users; they access aggregated metrics (e.g., hits by city, device, time range).
-
Clients must use analytics in accordance with applicable law and their own privacy notices to their audiences (e.g., placing privacy notices where they direct traffic).
​
11) Children’s privacy
Our services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child provided information, contact us to delete it.
12) Creative assets & file handling
For personalized products (e.g., lithophanes, mini‑figures, others), we process images/files you upload for: preview, digital proof, production (3D printing), quality assurance, and delivery. We may keep minimal versions necessary for traceability, warranties, and abuse prevention, following limited retention periods. You may request deletion where legally permissible.
​
Brand assets & NFC/QR merchandise designs: We retain logos, artwork, and design files for the duration of the project and for reasonable periods to enable re‑orders/support (unless deletion is requested). When we use tools like Canva to prepare proofs/style guides, we do so under Canva’s licenses/terms; we do not resell your assets.
​
13) Databases, logs & processing location
​
We process data using infrastructure located in the U.S. and/or the EU, depending on provider availability. Where applicable, we apply international transfer safeguards (see §7).
​
14) Changes to this Policy
​
We may update this Policy to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. The current version will be indicated by the “Last updated” date. For material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (e.g., banner or email).

Developer/Client technical notes (informational)

The Portal and APIs generate slugs per client and connected object; metrics are associated with those slugs.
-
When a link/slug is deleted, aggregated analytics may persist for statistical and security purposes; direct identifiers are minimized/aggregated per §6.
-
The analytics retention window is fixed at 180 days for Redirect events across all plans, after which we aggregate/anonymize or delete the underlying logs.
