Privacy Policy

1. Data we collect

• Account data: username, email address, account type (client or developer), and profile details you choose to add.
• Transaction data: purchases, bounty postings, proposals, and payout details (e.g., UPI ID) needed to process payments.
• Technical data: log data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, used for security and diagnostics.

2. How we use it

• To operate the marketplace: process purchases, hold and release escrow, and deliver downloads.
• To secure the Platform: fraud prevention, abuse detection, and script security review.
• To communicate: transactional emails about your purchases, bounties, and account.

3. Payments

Card and payment details are processed by our payment partners (e.g., Razorpay) and never stored on our servers. We retain only transaction references needed for escrow, refunds, and accounting.

4. Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with payment processors, infrastructure providers under contract, or where required by law. Public profile information (username, portfolio, ratings) is visible to other users by design.

5. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication (httpOnly session tokens) and a preference cookie for your theme choice. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

6. Retention and deletion

Account data is retained while your account is active. You may request deletion at any time; we retain transaction records where required for legal, tax, or dispute-resolution purposes.

7. Your rights

You may access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data by contacting support@aecnexus.io.

8. Changes

We will post any changes to this policy here with an updated date.
