In accordance with EU law, cookies may only be served with your consent, after being provided clear and comprehensive information. You can adjust browser settings, restrict or delete cookies, or decline cookies — though this may affect functionality.

5. How We Share Personal Data

We do not share, sell, rent, or otherwise disclose your personal data to third parties without your consent or another valid legal basis.

Service Providers

Third parties support business operations including payment processing, technical support, and performance analysis. Service providers have limited access and may use information only for assigned tasks.

Business Transactions

In mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, personal data may be transferred. These transactions are considered necessary for our legitimate business interests.

Safety and Lawful Requests

Information may be disclosed in response to lawful requests (subpoenas, court orders), applicable laws, and regulations. Sharing may protect rights, property, safety, and prevent fraud.

Aggregated Data

Aggregated, non-personal data may be disclosed without restriction, such as de-personalized demographic information to business partners.

7. Data Security

The security of your personal data is important to us. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

No data security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee that our systems will not be breached. You are responsible for choosing strong passwords, keeping credentials secure, and signing out after use.

8. Data Integrity and International Operations

FixAhead processes personal data in ways compatible with original collection purposes. We take reasonable steps to ensure data is accurate, complete, and current.

FixAhead operates from the United States. Privacy laws vary across jurisdictions. Data may be transferred to, processed in, or accessed from any country where FixAhead or its service providers operate. We transfer data only where permitted by law and take steps to ensure appropriate ongoing protection.

9. California Privacy Rights

Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, California residents may request details about personal data disclosed to third parties for direct marketing. Send requests to team@fixahead.com with subject line "Request for California Privacy Information." We will respond within 30 days.

10. Children and Data Collection

Our services are intended for general audiences and are not directed toward children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a child submitted data, contact team@fixahead.com.

11. Enforcement

FixAhead uses a self-assessment approach to verify compliance with this policy. We regularly confirm that the policy is accurate, prominently displayed, fully implemented, and aligned with EU and Swiss privacy principles. If internal resolution of a complaint fails, we will use an independent third-party dispute resolution provider.

12. Updates

We may update this privacy policy periodically. The most current version governs data use. Material changes are communicated by posting notice on the site or via email. Previous versions are available upon request.
