We do not collect, share, disclose, or sell sensitive personal data.
We process your personal data for the following purposes under the following legal bases:
Consent:
Email Subscriptions: We utilize your email address and any specified subscription preferences to deliver email content that we believe will be of interest to you.

Legitimate Interest:
We process your personal data based on our legitimate interests. We prioritize safeguarding your fundamental rights and freedoms and carefully consider data protection in these processes. We refrain from processing the data if your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms override our legitimate interests. Regarding profiling and third-party advertising, we've determined that the risk is low as user profiles contain limited information related to business interests, and target marketing is unlikely to significantly impact users. Our internal procedures prioritize accuracy, fairness, and non-discrimination. We refrain from activities where our interests conflict with your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Site Usage Data:
We do not link data collected from tools like Google Analytics to personally identifiable information. This data helps us understand customer behavior, measure site performance, and assess marketing effectiveness. Most usage statistics cannot identify individuals. Any data with potential identification value is only used for aggregate statistical purposes, not to track specific users.
Service Usage Statistics:
We utilize tools like Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager to analyze site and service usage anonymously. These tools collect standard internet logs and behavior information via cookies. Information generated, including IP addresses, is used to evaluate site and service usage and create statistical reports. We ensure no personally identifiable information is tracked or collected by these analytics tools.
Service Content:
Users can post various content on our platform, which we may process, including personal data like names or photographs. We may anonymize or edit content to protect user privacy and further our business interests.
Profiling for Relevant Content:
We use collected personal data to present content we believe users will find interesting. This includes profiling based on user-provided information and behavior within our service, such as search history.
Contract:
User Accounts:
We use personal data to create and manage user accounts, granting access to the Geospatial Resource Platform team and allowing customization.

Payment Management Services:
We use third-party payment processors (Paypal or CC Avenue) to handle payments, minimizing the data stored within our systems. Payment processors collect necessary information for transactions. We provide only essential information to these processors. We comply with legal obligations and disclose personal data as required by law enforcement or for legal claims.
Additionally, we share your Personal Data with various types of service providers and other entities, including but not limited to:
