Effective Date: [1st January 2024]
Introduction
At DAAVIZ (“we,” “our,” or “the Company”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal and business information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information in the course of providing data analytics and visualization services, as well as the data we collect through our website at https://daaviz.com.
1. Information We Collect
1.1. Client Business Information
We collect only the necessary personal and business information required to conduct our services. This may include:
•Client names
•Company names and designations
•Contact details (e.g., email addresses, phone numbers)
•Business regions or locations
We do not collect or retain any additional personal information beyond what is necessary for business purposes and communication.
2. Handling of Client Data Sets
2.1. Client Data Sets
Clients may share data sets with DAAVIZ for analysis. We strongly recommend that clients remove any unnecessary personal information from these data sets before sharing. This may include personal identifiers about individuals (such as their clients or employees) that are irrelevant to the scope of the project.
2.2. Our Internal Process
Upon receiving any data set from a client, we review it to identify any personal identifiers (e.g., names, email addresses, or other sensitive data). If such information is found, we promptly anonymize or pseudonymize the data to ensure that personal identifiers are either masked or removed before further processing.
3. Data Processing and Retention
3.1. Data Storage and Processing
All data provided by clients is stored securely and only for the duration needed to fulfill the purposes outlined during the initial agreement. We adhere to strict security protocols to ensure data confidentiality and integrity during storage and processing.
3.2. Data Retention
Unless otherwise agreed upon, raw data is retained for a maximum of 90 days following the completion of the project. After this period, all client data is permanently deleted from our systems unless the client requests otherwise.
