Privacy Policy

FlagRisk Inc. ("FlagRisk", "we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website flagrisk.org or participate in our surveys, waitlist, and beta testing program.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our platform, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

• Join our waitlist: First name and email address.
• Complete our survey: Name, email address, city, country, and your responses to safety-related questions.
• Enrol as a beta tester: First name, last name, email address, device preferences, and technical experience level.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you interact with our platform, we may automatically collect certain information including browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the platform. This information is used solely for improving user experience.

1.3 Community-Generated Data

FlagRisk is designed to leverage community-generated safety reports. Any safety incident you report through our platform will be associated with a general geographic area, not your precise location, unless you explicitly consent to share precise location data.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To keep you informed about FlagRisk's progress, updates, and launch timeline.
• To analyse community safety patterns and improve our product.
• To communicate with beta testers about testing activities and feedback.
• To display aggregated, anonymised safety insights on our live map.
• To display your first name and partially masked email on public community pages (leaderboard, contributors) if you have participated in our platform.
• To share survey outcomes with participants who provide their email.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. Your information is used exclusively for the FlagRisk project. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• With service providers: Trusted third parties who assist in operating our platform, provided they agree to keep your information confidential.
• For legal compliance: If required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of FlagRisk, our users, or the public.
• With your consent: We will share your information in any other circumstance only with your explicit consent.

Community leaderboard and contributor pages display your first name and a partially masked email address (70% of characters obscured) for privacy purposes. You may request removal from public displays at any time by contacting us.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on your device using browser local storage for session-based data, and on our secure servers for submitted forms. We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Survey data and waitlist information will be retained through the launch of FlagRisk and may be used for product development purposes thereafter in anonymised form.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal information.
• Right to object: Object to the processing of your personal information.
• Right to data portability: Request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at flagrisk@gmail.com.
