9. Security of Your Personal Data
The security of your Personal Data is important to us, but no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Personal Data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
If consent is required as a legal basis and your country requires parental consent, we may require a parent's consent before collecting and using information.
11. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your information. We honor these rights regardless of location and are committed to providing reasonable access to shared information.
11.1 General Data Access & Deletion Rights
Regardless of location, you can make the following requests:
- Access your data: you can request a copy of the personal information we have about you. We will provide this information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
- Delete your data: you can request that we delete your personal information from our systems. We will comply with this request unless there is a legal requirement for us to keep certain information.
To submit a request, contact us at privacy@arctovec.com. We will respond within 30 days and may need to verify your identity before processing.
11.2 CCPA Privacy Rights (California Residents)
California residents are entitled to learn what data is collected, ask to delete data, and request non-sharing of it. To exercise these rights, you can ask:
- What personal information we have about you. Our response will include the categories of personal information collected, the sources of collection, the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling information, the categories of third parties with whom information is shared, and the specific pieces of personal information collected.
- To delete your personal information. We will delete personal information as of the date of your request from our records and direct any service providers to do the same. In some cases, deletion may be accomplished through de-identification of the information.
- To stop selling your personal information. We do not sell or rent your personal information to any third parties for any purpose. However, under some state laws, sharing your data through certain targeted advertisements may be considered a "sale" of information. You are the only owner of your Personal Data and can request disclosure or deletion at any time.
We will respond to verified requests within 45 days as required by the CCPA. If more time is needed, written notice of the reason and extension period will be provided.

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate the Service ("Service Providers"), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services, or to assist us in analyzing how the Service is used. These third parties have access to Personal Data only to perform tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
