At BlackTop, your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our Platform. By using BlackTop, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account (name, email, password), fill out a contact form, or interact with features on the Platform. We also automatically collect certain information about your device and usage patterns, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This helps us understand how users interact with our Platform and improve our services.
We use the information we collect to: provide, maintain, and improve our Platform and services; process your registration and manage your account; send you technical notices, updates, and support messages; respond to your comments and questions; monitor and analyze usage and activity trends; detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities; and personalize your experience on the Platform.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Platform and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Platform. We use session cookies (expire when you close the browser) and persistent cookies (remain on your device until deleted).
We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Platform, provide services on our behalf, or assist us in analyzing how our Platform is used. These third parties have access to your personal information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. We may use third-party services such as Google Analytics for usage analysis, and payment processors for any premium features. Each third party has their own privacy policy governing their use of your data.
We take reasonable measures to help protect your personal information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We use industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmitted to and from our Platform. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
You have the right to access, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you. You can update your account information at any time through your profile settings. To request deletion of your account and associated data, contact us at privacy@blacktop.com. You may also opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in any email we send. Residents of certain jurisdictions (including the EU and California) may have additional rights regarding their personal data.
