Privacy Policy

Privacy Statement

az8 (referred to in this Privacy Statement as "the website," "we," "us," or "our") values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Statement explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, safeguard, and transfer personal data. Please review it carefully. If you have questions about this Statement or how your data is handled, you may contact us using the details provided below.

This Statement applies to az8 products, websites, applications, tools, and services that display, link to, or otherwise refer to this Privacy Statement.

How We Collect and Use Personal Data

How We Collect Personal Data

Personal data means any information, recorded electronically or by other means, that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. Data that has been anonymized so that it cannot reasonably be associated with an individual is not considered personal data.

We may collect personal data when you use our products or services, create or access an account, communicate with us, or otherwise interact with az8. The type of data collected depends on the product or service involved and the nature of your interaction with us. In some situations, you may choose not to provide certain information. However, this may limit our ability to provide requested products or services, respond to your inquiries, or resolve issues you report.

When providing products and services, we may also collect aggregated or statistical information, such as website traffic, app downloads, or product usage data. For purposes of this Statement, such information is treated as non-personal data. We make reasonable efforts to separate personal data from non-personal data and use each category appropriately. If personal data is combined with non-personal data, we will treat the combined information as personal data for as long as it remains combined.

We collect and use personal data only for the purposes described in this Statement and, where applicable, in product-specific privacy notices. Examples of personal data we may collect include the following.

Personal Data You Provide

Certain features or services may require you to register for an az8 account. When you create an account or sign in, we may ask you to provide information needed to identify you, operate the account, and deliver the requested service.

Some az8 products may allow you to communicate, collaborate, or share content with other users. When you use these features, you may be asked to create a public profile that may include information such as a nickname and profile image. If you share content with family, friends, or other contacts, we may also collect information related to those individuals, such as names, email addresses, or telephone numbers, when necessary to provide the relevant functionality. We take appropriate measures to help protect the security of such communications.

Information Collected During Use of Services

When you use az8 products and services, we may collect information about your device, application, network, and interactions with our services, including:

Device and application information, such as device name, device identifier, activation time, hardware model, operating system version, application version, software identifier, region, language, time zone, font size, and other device or app settings.

Mobile network information, such as public land mobile network provider ID, cell-based geographic area information, and Internet Protocol address.

Log information, such as access time, number of visits, IP address, service activity, and event data including errors, crashes, restarts, and updates.

Location information. If you use location-based features, we may collect and process approximate or precise device location. This information may be obtained through GPS, WLAN, service provider network information, or similar technologies. Where required, we will ask whether you want to enable location-based services. You may disable location permissions through your device or application settings.

Cloud-stored information. Information you upload to cloud-based services may be stored on servers to support access, synchronization, and sharing across devices. Access to such information is controlled according to permissions and applicable security measures.

Information from Third-Party Sources

Where permitted by applicable law, we may receive information about you, your device, or your service usage from public sources, legitimate commercial sources, partners, or third-party platforms.

For example, az8 may access certain data related to your YouTube channels when permitted by YouTube's Terms of Service and when needed for tools or services you choose to use. Data obtained through YouTube API Services is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy, available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. We access YouTube data only after you expressly authorize your YouTube channel through Google's authorization process. You may revoke this application's access to your YouTube channel at any time through your Google Account security settings, available at https://myaccount.google.com/connections.

How We Use Personal Data

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. Depending on applicable law, these bases may include your consent; the need to perform or enter into a contract with you; the need to protect your or another person's vital or legitimate interests; compliance with legal obligations; and the pursuit of our legitimate business interests where permitted by law.

We may use personal data for purposes including:

• Registering, activating, or verifying products and services you purchase or request;
• Creating and managing your az8 account;
• Providing requested products, services, features, support, maintenance, and after-sales services;
• Delivering, activating, verifying, modifying, or troubleshooting services at your request;
• Notifying you about operating system, software, security, or service updates;
• Providing personalized experiences, recommendations, and content;
• Sending product, service, market research, or promotional communications after obtaining your consent or where otherwise permitted by law;
• Conducting internal audits, analytics, research, business performance assessments, and market analysis;
• Improving our products, services, security, and user experience;
• Investigating and resolving errors, crashes, or technical issues that you report;
• Synchronizing, storing, uploading, downloading, and processing data needed for service operation;
• Supporting loss prevention, risk control, anti-fraud, and security programs; and
• Complying with applicable laws, regulations, legal procedures, and lawful government requests.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies on websites, online services, emails, and advertisements. Information collected through these technologies is generally treated as non-personal data. However, if applicable law treats IP addresses, device identifiers, or similar information as personal data, we will treat that information accordingly. If such information is combined with personal data, the combined information will be treated as personal data.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file created by a web server and stored on a computer or mobile device. Cookies can be read only by the server that created them. Cookies are specific to the browser or application being used and commonly contain identifiers, website names, numbers, and characters.

Cookies may be used to improve your experience, including for the following purposes:

Necessary cookies: These help support login, authentication, security, and navigation. For example, cookies may allow you to move between pages without signing in again on each page.

Preference cookies: These store settings such as language, font size, region, or other browsing preferences.

Analytics cookies: These help us understand how users interact with our websites and services, including single-session visits and repeated visits.

Advertising cookies: These may help us understand online activity, infer interests, and deliver more relevant advertising where permitted by law.

You may manage or delete cookies according to your preferences. Most browsers allow you to clear cookies or block some or all cookies. For instructions, please consult your browser provider. If you delete cookies, you may need to reset preferences each time you visit our websites. Some services may rely on cookies, and disabling them may affect all or part of the service.

Web Beacons and Pixel Tags

In addition to cookies, we may use technologies such as web beacons and pixel tags. A web beacon is typically a small electronic image embedded in a webpage or email that helps identify device cookies when a page or message is accessed. Pixel tags may help us send emails in a readable format and determine whether an email has been opened.

We and our third-party partners may use these technologies to analyze service usage, improve content, measure communications, and provide more relevant services or advertising. For example, an email from us may contain a link to an az8 website. If you click that link, we may record the interaction to better understand service interests and improve customer support.

Other Local Storage Technologies

We and our partners may use other local storage technologies, such as local shared objects, sometimes called flash cookies, and HTML5 local storage. These technologies can store information on your device and record certain activities or preferences. Because they may operate differently from standard cookies, browser cookie controls may not fully manage them.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track feature that sends signals to websites. Major internet standards organizations have not established a uniform rule for how websites should respond to these signals. At this time, we do not alter cookie or similar technology practices in response to Do Not Track settings or similar browser signals.

How We Entrust, Share, Transfer, and Disclose Personal Data

Entrusted Processing

In certain circumstances, we may authorize other companies or service providers to process personal data on our behalf. For example, service providers may assist with customer support, email delivery, technical services, hosting, analytics, or maintenance. These providers may use personal data only as necessary to perform services for az8 and must follow our instructions.

We require entrusted processors to enter into appropriate agreements or personal data processing terms. These obligations require them to process data according to this Statement, our instructions, and applicable confidentiality and security requirements.

Sharing

Sharing means providing personal data to another personal data processor where each party may independently determine the purposes and methods of processing. We do not share personal data with external parties except in the following circumstances:

With your consent: We may share personal data with third parties designated by you after obtaining your authorization.

As required by law: We may share personal data where required or permitted by laws, regulations, litigation, dispute resolution procedures, or lawful requests from administrative, judicial, or regulatory authorities.

With affiliates: We may share data with our affiliates for specific, legitimate, and clearly defined purposes. We share only the information necessary to provide or support services. For example, account information may be checked to avoid duplicate account registration.

With business partners: To provide and maintain service quality, we may share necessary account, order, device, location, or service-related information with third-party partners. We share personal data only for lawful, appropriate, necessary, specific, and clearly stated purposes.

Before sharing personal data where required, we assess security risks and recipients' data protection capabilities. We may also require recipients to sign data protection agreements or confidentiality commitments obligating them to protect personal data and follow applicable privacy requirements.

Transfer

If personal data is transferred due to a merger, acquisition, restructuring, division, dissolution, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, we will provide prior notice where required by law, including the recipient's name and contact details where applicable. We will require the recipient to comply with this Statement. If the recipient intends to change the original processing purpose or method, it must obtain your consent where required by law.

Public Disclosure

We disclose personal data publicly only in limited circumstances, including:

• After obtaining your consent; or
• Where disclosure is required or permitted by law, legal procedure, litigation, public authorities, or government agencies.

How We Protect Personal Data

Protecting personal data is important to us. We use industry-standard practices and reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to guard against unauthorized access, disclosure, use, modification, damage, or loss. These measures may include:

• Collecting only personal data that is relevant and reasonably necessary for the stated processing purposes;
• Retaining personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Statement, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law;
• Using cryptographic and other security technologies to protect data during transmission and storage;
• Deploying trusted protection mechanisms to help secure data and storage systems against attacks;
• Implementing access controls so that only authorized personnel may access personal data;
• Limiting authorized access based on job responsibilities, service needs, and permission levels;
• Logging and reviewing access to personal data on a regular basis;
• Carefully selecting business partners and service providers and incorporating data protection obligations into contracts, audits, and assessments; and
• Providing privacy and security training, testing, and awareness activities for personnel.

Although we are committed to protecting personal data, no security measure is perfect. No product, service, website, data transmission, computer system, or network connection can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If a personal data security incident occurs, we will notify affected individuals as required by applicable law. The notice may describe the basic facts of the incident, possible impact, measures taken or planned, recommendations for reducing risk, and available remedial measures. Notification may be provided by email, text message, push notification, public notice, or other appropriate methods. Where individual notification is difficult, we may publish a security notice by reasonable and effective means. We will also report incidents to regulatory authorities where required.

How You Can Manage Personal Data

Rights of Data Subjects, Including Access, Correction, and Deletion

Subject to applicable law, personal data subjects or their authorized representatives may submit requests to exercise privacy rights, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, withdrawal of consent, or other rights provided by law.

Request Methods and Channels

Requests should generally be submitted in writing. A request may be valid even if it does not cite the specific legal basis on which it is made. Verbal requests are generally not accepted unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Requests may be submitted through this website or other channels made available by az8. If a request is initiated by email, online customer service, or another channel, we may direct the requester to submit an official request through a designated channel so that communication, identity verification, and response tracking can be handled properly.

Validity of Requests

Most laws require requesters to satisfy certain conditions before a privacy request can be processed. To help us handle a request, the requester should:

• Submit the request through a designated request channel;
• Provide enough information for us to verify identity and authority;
• Confirm that the requester is the data subject or a legally authorized representative; and
• Make the request specific, clear, and feasible.

Response Time

We will make reasonable efforts to respond to valid requests within the time required by applicable law or, where no specific deadline applies, within a reasonable period.

Request Results

After reviewing a request, we may accept or reject it according to applicable law and the circumstances of the request.

A request may be rejected in situations including, without limitation:

• Applicable law does not grant the requested right;
• The requester's identity or authority cannot be verified;
• The request cannot be confirmed, is unclear, or falls outside the permitted scope;
• The request is repetitive, excessive, or abusive;
• The information requested relates to compensation, claims, or disputes where disclosure could harm our legitimate interests;
• The retained information is used only for statistical or research purposes and the published results do not identify individuals; or
• Other circumstances permitted by law.

If we reject a request, we will provide a formal explanation where required by law.

A request may be accepted if none of the rejection circumstances apply. To improve the likelihood and speed of processing, please provide detailed information such as the request type, specific content requested, account or service identifiers, and the relevant time period. Requests covering a narrower and more specific time period are generally easier to process.

Special Notes

Only legal guardians or legally authorized representatives may access another person's personal data.

Applicable laws may limit when organizations are required or permitted to provide data. For example, disclosure may be restricted if it would interfere with anti-terrorism efforts, if the requester repeatedly submits the same request, or if providing the information would require disproportionate resources.

In general, we may decline to provide:

• Information about other individuals, unless those individuals authorize disclosure or the law requires it;
• Copies of data repeatedly requested where the data has not changed since the last response;
• Information that is already publicly available;
• Confidential opinions or internal evaluations; and
• Special documents or privileged information, such as attorney-client communications, legal advice, or information related to litigation or court proceedings.

Withdrawal of Consent

Where permitted by applicable law, you may withdraw consent at any time for processing activities based on consent. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness or validity of processing conducted before consent was withdrawn, nor does it affect processing based on a lawful basis other than consent.

How We Process Personal Data of Minors

We place great importance on protecting the personal data of minors and provide services and protections in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Parents and guardians should also take appropriate steps to protect minors, including supervising their use of products and services.

For purposes of this Statement, a child means a person under the age of 14 or such other age as may be defined by applicable local law. Children may not create their own az8 account without consent from a parent or legal guardian. We strictly limit entrusted processing, sharing, transfer, and public disclosure of children's personal data as required by law.

If a guardian needs to access, correct, or delete personal data of a child under their guardianship, the guardian may contact us using the details in the "How to Contact Us" section. If we discover that we collected a child's personal data without required consent from an authenticated parent or guardian, we will take steps to delete the data as soon as reasonably possible.

Links to Third-Party Websites, Products, and Services

To support user experience, az8 websites, products, and services may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services. Our services may also use or integrate products or services provided by third parties. We do not control third-party websites, products, or services, and you may choose whether to access or use them.

Third parties are not bound by this Statement, and we do not control their privacy or data protection practices. Before submitting personal data to any third party, please review that third party's privacy policy or data protection statement.

International Data Transfer

We are headquartered in the United States and may use service providers, infrastructure, or partners located in other countries or regions. Your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where privacy laws may differ from those in your state, province, or country. Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate measures to protect personal data transferred internationally.

Updates to This Statement

We may update this Statement from time to time. The latest version will be available on our official website. If we make material changes, we may notify you through appropriate channels, such as posting a notice on our website or sending a direct notification.

How to Contact Us

If you have questions, comments, or suggestions about this Statement or our privacy practices, please contact us at:

[email protected]

We will generally respond within the time required by applicable laws and regulations. If you are not satisfied with our response, especially if you believe our processing of personal data has violated your legal rights or interests, you may submit a complaint to the relevant privacy or data protection regulator.
