PRIVACY POLICY

Dated: May 25, 2024

At Bagoodex, we don’t save or share your search or browsing history when you search on Bagoodex or use our apps and extensions. We also do not track you and we do not collect any personal data about you. The only personal data we may have about you is when you provide it to us (e.g. email for marketing purposes). In such case, our Privacy Policy covers all personal data that you submit to us or that we obtain from you when you use our Bagoodex Mobile, Web and Desktop Applications, browser extension and website https://bagoodex.io/and all other related services available on or through our website (collectively, the “Services”, “App”).

In case we have your personal data, we process it in accordance with applicable privacy laws and this Privacy Policy explains what information we collect about you, how we use it, and your rights. We have implemented different technical and organizational solutions to comply with applicable legislation related to the processing of personal data, privacy, and data security in countries where we operate or where the applicable law applies to us. We do not intend to collect personal data of children or persons under the age of 18 (eighteen) years old.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT

We do not collect personal information unless you provide it to us.

1.1. Information You Give Us

Subscription. The email address you give us to subscribe to the electronic mailing list if you wish. You will have the ability to opt-out of our marketing and promotional communications.

Resolve issues. You can submit some data to support in case this data is needed to resolve issues.

1.2. Information We Collect When You Use Our Services

Device information. When you visit our search engine or our other websites, your device sends some information about itself automatically, like its IP address, browser type, and language, and may send additional information upon request like its screen size, operating system, and preferences.

However, we only use this information temporarily to deliver content to you and, for security, to ensure you’re not a malicious bot. We don’t save your IP address or any unique identifiers alongside your searches or visits to our websites. We also never log IP addresses or any unique identifiers to disk.

This means that when you use our Services, we have no way to create a history of your search queries or the sites you browse. That is, viewing search results on Bagoodex is anonymous. And we only save these anonymous search queries — completely disconnected from any unique identifiers like IP addresses — for just enough time to analyze anonymous trends like popular searches, so that we can better serve you.

In the process of delivering our search results and other content, we also prevent our hosting and content providers from creating a history of your searches and browsing. At a technical level, we achieve this by calling for content (for example, images) on your behalf from our servers and then ensuring that content is securely delivered to you through an end-to-end encrypted connection. In order for our product to function, we share anonymous browser and device information with our hosting and content providers for security and display purposes (for example, that you’re using a mobile device), but we never share any information with them that could tie your searches or website visits to you personally, or that could allow them to create a history of your individual search queries or the sites you browse.

The Internet works by routing information to you via your device's IP address. As such, we cannot prevent your device's IP address from being seen by your internet service provider, our hosting provider, or other internet providers in between (typically, there are one or more internet providers between any two points on the Internet). That is, these providers necessarily use IP addresses to route information. They may also use them for security purposes, such as preventing network attacks and limiting other fraudulent traffic.

Keep in mind that when you visit other websites by navigating to them directly, by clicking external links on our search engine, the privacy policies and practices of those other websites apply, including any information you submit to them. While our App provides many safeguards against online tracking, we can’t completely protect you when you visit other websites and apps.

We improve our product by using anonymous methods and by considering publicly available information. To improve and promote our product, we develop and use only anonymous methods to learn key insights.

LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Any operation related to the processing of personal data must have a legal basis for the processing. We collect any data only on lawful ground and only data that is necessary to provide our Services to you. We use the main four grounds to process your personal data: consent, contract, legal obligation, and legitimate interests.

Consent – freely given, informed, and unambiguous indication of your wishes to the processing of your personal data for a specific purpose which signifies agreement to the processing of personal data.

Contract – a legal ground for the processing of the personal data necessary for us to perform a contract or the Terms of Use to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into the contract or the Terms of Use.

Legal obligations – a legal ground for the processing of the personal data when there is an obligation to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

Legitimate Interests – a legal ground for the processing of the personal data when it is based on our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, provided that those interests are not outweighed by your rights and interests and those interests have a specific purpose, they are necessary, and they are balanced.

Applicable laws have other legal grounds for the processing and when they are applicable we will use such grounds to process the personal data.

YOUR RIGHTS

We respect and support your legal privacy rights.

Critically, it's not possible for us to provide search or browsing histories linked to you in response to legal requests because we don't have them. Nevertheless, we will vigorously resist government efforts to compel us to produce the very limited personal information that we might have, for example, your email address if you subscribe to our newsletter.

HOW DO WE GET THE PERSONAL DATA AND WHY

We will only process information that is necessary for the purpose for which it has been collected. We protect and limit use of your data when you communicate directly with Bagoodex.

If you voluntarily provide personal information to us directly, we protect and limit its use. We will limit its use by only keeping it for as long as necessary for the stated purpose, and we will protect it by keeping it secure and deleting it when it is no longer required, unless a longer period is required by law. For example, if you opt to receive our privacy newsletter, we will ask for your email address and use it only to deliver that content. You can also unsubscribe at any time, at which point we will delete it.

DATA RETENTION PERIOD

We will keep your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

We will update this Privacy Policy from time to time, please review it frequently. We will notify you of changes by a notice on our home page or, where appropriate, by email.
