Softifyx will not sell consumers’ personal information at any time. We use a select number of trusted external service providers for technical data analysis, processing, and/or storage. These providers are prudently selected and meet high data protection and security standards. We only share information with them that is required for the services offered. In addition to service providers, other third parties may include:

– Service Providers: We may engage third-party companies and individuals to facilitate services or perform services related to the administration of the service of your site (maintenance, payments, hosting and database management services, website analytics and administration, etc.). Any third party that has access to your personal information to perform these tasks on our behalf is required to comply with this Policy and may not use your personal information for any other purpose.
– Marketing Partners: We may share your personal information for communicating targeted advertising and promotional materials.
– Disclosures to Protect Us or Others: We may access and disclose information associated with you to external parties if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal processes, enforce our policies or contracts, collect amounts owed to us, or assist with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity. We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials to enforce and comply with the law.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We are the sole owners of the information collected on the Site. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request (e.g., to fulfill an order placed through the Site). Additionally, we use this order information to:
– Communicate with you;
– Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
– When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.
We use the device information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

To buy from us, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we’ll use this information to contact you. When you place an order through the Site, we will maintain this information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.
