Sourcyness Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Sourcyness ("Sourcyness", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information about you when you visit our website, contact us, or use our services (together, the "Services"). Please read it carefully. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Services.

1. Who we are

Sourcyness is a global technology, marketing, AI, and business-consulting firm operating since 2017. For the purposes of applicable data-protection laws, Sourcyness is the "controller" of the personal information processed through the Services. You can reach us at support@sourcyness.com or +1 (404) 530-9965.

2. Scope

This Policy applies to information we process about website visitors, prospective clients, clients, vendors, and other individuals who interact with us. It does not apply to third-party websites, products, or services that we do not own or control, or to information processed by our clients within their own systems, for which the client is the responsible controller.

3. Information we collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide to us — such as your name, email address, telephone number, company name, role, and the contents of any message, inquiry, proposal request, application, or other communication you send to us.
• Information collected automatically — such as your IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, links clicked, and the dates and times of access, gathered through cookies and similar technologies for security, performance, and analytics purposes.
• Information from third parties — such as analytics providers, advertising partners, social platforms, and publicly available sources, where permitted by law.

You are not legally required to provide personal information to us, but if you choose not to, we may be unable to respond to your inquiry or provide certain Services.

4. How we use information

We use personal information to: respond to your inquiries and requests; provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services; prepare proposals and deliver services you engage us for; communicate with you about projects, updates, and, where permitted, marketing; personalize and analyze usage of our website; ensure security and prevent fraud or misuse; and comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

5. Legal bases for processing

Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation or similar laws apply, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent; the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract; our legitimate interests in operating and growing our business in a way that does not override your rights; and compliance with a legal obligation. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember your preferences, measure performance, and, where applicable, deliver relevant advertising. For full details and your choices, see our Cookies Policy.

7. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with: service providers who process data on our behalf (for example, hosting, analytics, email, and customer-relationship tools) under contractual confidentiality and security obligations; professional advisors such as lawyers, accountants, and insurers; authorities or other parties where we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sourcyness, our users, or others; and in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, in which case information may be transferred as a business asset. We may also share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

8. International data transfers

Because we operate globally, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries other than your own, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. Where required, we put in place appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for such transfers.

9. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the Services, comply with our legal, tax, accounting, and reporting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it.

10. Data security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute security of your information. Any transmission of information is at your own risk.

11. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to: access the personal information we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate information; request deletion; restrict or object to certain processing; request portability; and withdraw consent. Residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have these rights under the GDPR. Residents of California have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, including the rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (note that we do not sell personal information), and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@sourcyness.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. You may use an authorized agent where the law permits.

12. Marketing communications

Where permitted, we may send you marketing communications about our Services. You can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send you non-promotional messages relating to your inquiries or engagements.

13. Third-party links

The Services may contain links to third-party websites and services that we do not operate or control. This Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

14. Children's privacy

The Services are intended for businesses and individuals aged 18 and over and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

15. Automated decision-making

We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you based solely on automated processing without human involvement.

16. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when it was last revised. Material changes will be posted on this page, and your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

17. Contact us

If you have questions, requests, or complaints regarding this Policy or our data practices, contact us at support@sourcyness.com or +1 (404) 530-9965. If you are in the EEA or UK and believe we have not addressed your concern, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection supervisory authority.
