Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 9, 2025

Your privacy is important to us. It is Peerwatch’s policy to respect your privacy and comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including through our website (peerwatch.io) and other services we operate.

Personal information refers to any information that can be used to identify you. This includes details such as your name, email address, device information, payment data, and information about how you use our platform.

If our site contains links to third-party websites or services, please note that those platforms have their own privacy policies. Once you leave our site, their handling of your personal information is governed by their policies, not ours. We encourage you to review those policies before engaging with third-party services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two main ways: voluntarily provided and automatically collected.

Voluntarily provided information is anything you actively submit to us, such as when you create an account, sign in, or communicate with us.

Automatically collected information is data your device sends as you access and interact with our platform. This helps us understand how the service is being used and improve its performance.

2. Log Data

When you visit peerwatch.io, our servers may automatically record standard information from your web browser. This can include your IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, time and date of access, time spent on each page, and other usage details.

If an error occurs while using the site, we may collect data about the error and your interaction with the platform at that time. This could include technical information about your device, what you were doing when the issue occurred, and any relevant system details. You may not receive a notification when such errors are logged.

While this data is not personally identifying on its own, it may be possible to link it with other information to identify individuals.

3. Device Data

When you access Peerwatch, we may automatically collect certain information about the device you’re using. This may include:

  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Unique device identifiers
  • Device settings
  • Approximate location data

What we collect can depend on your device and software settings. We recommend reviewing your device or browser provider’s policies to understand what data may be shared with us.

4. Personal Information

We may request personal information, for example, when you sign up, contact us, or otherwise interact with the platform. This may include:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Social media profiles (if voluntarily linked or submitted)

5. User-Generated Content

“User-generated content” refers to materials such as text, images, or video that you voluntarily submit to us for possible publication on our platform or social media.

All such content is tied to the account or email used during submission. Please note that anything submitted for public display will become visible to others after it is reviewed and published. Once published, that content may be accessible to third parties who are not covered by this privacy policy.

6. Legitimate Reasons for Processing Your Personal Information

We only collect and use personal information when we have a valid reason to do so. This typically includes providing our services, maintaining platform functionality, and improving the user experience. We limit our data collection to what is necessary for these purposes.

7. Collection and Use of Information

We may collect personal information from you when you:

  • Register for an account
  • Sign up to receive updates via email or social media
  • Access our platform using a mobile device or web browser
  • Contact us through email, social media, or similar technologies
  • Mention or tag us on social media

We collect, use, and app this information for the following purposes. We do not process your data in ways that are incompatible with these purposes:

  • To provide access to our platform and core features
  • To communicate with you and support customer service
  • To conduct analytics and market research aimed at improving the platform and understanding user behavior
  • To support internal record keeping and administration
  • To comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes
  • To ensure platform security, detect fraud, and maintain compliance with our terms of use
  • To evaluate technical performance and improve our systems

We may combine information you provide with other data, such as insights from market research or general usage trends, to better understand and improve how people use Peerwatch.

8. Security of Your Personal Information

We take the security of your personal information seriously. We use commercially reasonable safeguards to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. While we strive to protect your data, no one can guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any passwords associated with your account and for managing your access credentials securely.

9. How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes outlined in this policy. For example, we may keep your information while your account is active. Once data is no longer necessary, we will delete it or anonymize it.

In some cases, we may retain data longer to meet legal, regulatory, accounting, or research obligations.

10. Children’s Privacy

Peerwatch is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone in this age group. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties

We may disclose personal information to the following parties, where necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

  • Affiliates, such as parent companies or subsidiaries
  • Third-party service providers who help us operate the platform and deliver services. This may include providers of hosting, data storage, analytics, customer support, security, payment processing, and related functions
  • Employees, contractors, and trusted partners who require the information to help fulfill services or operate the platform
  • Professional advisors, such as lawyers or accountants
  • Business partners or agents assisting with platform functionality or development
  • Credit agencies, courts, and relevant authorities, in cases of non-payment or debt recovery
  • Regulatory authorities, courts, or law enforcement, if required by law or in connection with legal proceedings or enforcement of legal rights
  • Subcontractors or third parties who help deliver our services or communicate with users
  • Another company, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our business or assets

12. International Transfers of Personal Information

The personal information we collect may be stored or processed in the United States, Sweden, or other locations where we or our service providers operate.

These countries may not offer the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. When we transfer personal information internationally, we do so in accordance with applicable laws and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in line with this privacy policy.

13. Your Rights and Controlling Your Personal Information

Your choice: By providing personal information to us, you acknowledge that we will collect, use, and disclose your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy. You are not required to provide personal information to use the platform, but some features may be limited if you choose not to.

Information from third parties: If we receive personal information about you from a third party, we will handle it as described in this policy. If you are a third party providing information about someone else, you confirm that you have their consent to share it with us.

Marketing permission: While Peerwatch does not currently use your data for marketing, if we ever seek your permission to do so, you will be able to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us.

Access: You may request access to the personal information we hold about you.

Correction: If you believe any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or misleading, please contact us. We will take reasonable steps to correct it as needed.

Non-discrimination: We will never discriminate against you for exercising your data protection rights. You will continue to have access to our services on equal terms, except where certain information is necessary to deliver those services.

Notification of data breaches: We will comply with applicable data protection laws in the event of a data breach.

We use cookies to understand how you interact with our website and to improve your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us recognize your preferences and usage patterns.

For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.

15. Business Transfers

If Peerwatch or its assets are acquired, or in the unlikely event that we cease operations or enter bankruptcy, your personal information may be transferred to a third party. That party will be bound to respect this privacy policy, or one that offers equivalent protection.

16. Limits of Our Policy

Our website may contain links to external websites not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal obligations. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised date.

If the changes are material or legally required, we will notify users via the platform or by email if you’ve provided one. In some cases, we may request your explicit consent before applying certain updates.
