Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy applies to TapKonnect.com and related TapKonnect webpages, accounts, products, customer services, and the TapKonnect Writer Android app. It does not control the independent privacy practices of third-party websites, social platforms, payment processors, or services that you choose to link to or use.

2. Information TapKonnect.com Collects

Depending on how you use our website and services, we may collect:

• Contact information, including your name, email address, and telephone number.
• Account, profile, and business information, including login details, business name, title, description, and contact details.
• Content you provide, including photographs, logos, social-media links, website links, and other information you upload or publish.
• Payment and subscription information, including purchase, billing, subscription, and transaction records. Payment-card information may be collected and processed directly by a third-party payment processor rather than stored by TapKonnect.
• Communications contained in support requests, questions, feedback, or other messages you send us.
• Basic technical information generated when the website is used, such as browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, and approximate location derived from an IP address, when enabled on our systems.

3. How We Collect Information

We collect information directly from you when you create an account, build or update a profile, upload content, make a purchase, subscribe, or contact us. We may also receive transaction confirmations from payment providers and limited technical information automatically from our website, hosting, security, or analytics systems.

4. How We Use Information

• Create, display, host, and manage your TapKonnect profile and services.
• Process purchases, subscriptions, renewals, and related records.
• Provide support and respond to questions or requests.
• Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve our website and services.
• Send service, account, transaction, and security communications.
• Prevent fraud, misuse, or unlawful activity.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

5. How We Disclose Information

We do not sell personal information. We also do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information only as reasonably necessary to:

• Service providers that help us host, secure, support, analyze, or operate TapKonnect.
• Payment processors and financial-service providers that process transactions.
• Third-party services you intentionally connect to, or people who view information you intentionally publish on a public TapKonnect profile.
• Authorities or other parties when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, or a valid governmental request, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
• Parties involved in a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate notice and legal safeguards.

Public profile information—including uploaded photos, logos, business information, and links—may be visible to anyone who accesses or receives your profile link, NFC product, or QR code. Do not publish information you want to keep private.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

TapKonnect.com may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for sign-in, preferences, security, payment flow, and basic website operation. If optional analytics or advertising technologies are introduced, we will provide any notice, choice, or consent required by applicable law and update this policy as appropriate.

7. TapKonnect Writer Android App

NFC access

TapKonnect Writer accesses your Android device's NFC functionality so that, when you initiate the action, the app can communicate with a compatible NFC product and read from or write the information you select. NFC access is used only to provide this core feature.

No personal-data collection by the app

TapKonnect Writer does not require an account and does not collect, transmit, upload, remotely store, sell, or share personal or sensitive user data. NFC content is handled locally between your device and the NFC product at your direction. The app does not use NFC access to track your location or identify you.

No app analytics or advertising

TapKonnect Writer does not use advertising trackers or analytics tools that collect user or device data. If a future version changes these practices, we will update this policy and any required app-store disclosures before or when the change takes effect.

8. Data Retention

We retain website account, profile, business, transaction, and support information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain required business and tax records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and comply with law. Retention depends on the information, its purpose, legal requirements, and whether an account remains active. We delete or de-identify information when it is no longer reasonably needed, unless continued retention is required or permitted by law.

TapKonnect Writer does not retain personal information because the app does not collect personal information.

9. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with your TapKonnect website account. You may also ask about our handling of your data or withdraw from nonessential marketing communications. Email help@tapkonnect.com. We may need to verify your identity. Some information may be retained where required or permitted by law.

Depending on where you live and whether applicable legal thresholds are met, you may have additional rights, including rights to know, access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of certain personal information; opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising; limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and receive equal service when exercising privacy rights. TapKonnect does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law. We may require proof of authorization and verification of the consumer's identity.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children's Privacy

TapKonnect is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

12. Third-Party Links and Services

TapKonnect profiles may contain links to third-party websites and social platforms. Those third parties control their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information to them.

13. International Use

If you access TapKonnect from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate, subject to applicable legal requirements.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, data practices, or legal obligations. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the date above. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice when required by law.
