Documents you submit to the Services for analysis may contain personal information, such as names, addresses, or other identifying details of parties to the documents. We process such information to provide, maintain, evaluate, and improve the Services, as described in our Terms of Service. We do not use personal information contained in uploaded documents for marketing or advertising.

With respect to personal information contained in documents submitted to the Services, Dryink acts as a processor or service provider on behalf of the customer, as applicable under relevant data protection laws.

When you interact with our Services or use a Dryink application, we may collect analytic information about your device or web browser. This may include technical information (such as your IP address, device ID, browser type, operating system, or language) and usage information (such as the pages visited or features used).

Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from public or other third party sources, such as our service providers or partners. For example, we may receive marketing, sales generation, or recruitment information.

2. Dryink's Use of Your Personal Information

• Contact you about additional Dryink services you might be interested in, unless you opt-out. You can opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by clicking the 'unsubscribe' link in any marketing email we send, or by contacting us at [email protected].

We may use de-identified or aggregated data to understand trends, improve our offerings, or for benchmarking purposes. We will not attempt to re-identify any de-identified data.

We do not use your personal information for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects solely based on automated processing, unless you have explicitly consented or as permitted by law.

We may share your personal information with others in the following situations:

We may share your personal information with trusted service providers that perform services on our behalf, including cloud hosting, AI model processing, analytics, marketing, payment processing, and customer support. These companies are obligated by contract to safeguard any personal information they receive from us.
• Affiliates. We may share your personal information with our affiliates (entities that we control or that we are under common control with), which will honor this Privacy Policy.
• Other users. If you interact with other users through the Services or if your account is registered under the same account as other users, then your personal information may be viewed by the users you send it to.
• Consent. We may disclose your personal information for purposes you consent to.
• Professional advisors. Professional advisors, such as lawyers, auditors, bankers, and insurers, as necessary for their services to us.
• Business transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

4. Cookie Policy

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience with our Services. These technologies include:

• Web beacons, tracking pixels, and tags. These technologies collect data like your device's IP address, the page URL, and the time the page was viewed. These files allow Dryink to count visitors, track email engagement, and measure whether our advertising leads to sign-ups. We do not use them for remarketing or to target ads to you based on your activity on our Websites.
• Cookies. Cookies are small files on your device, categorized as first-party (set by our Websites) or third-party cookies (set by others). You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Note, some features may not work without cookies. Persistent cookies stay until they expire; session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
• Necessary / essential cookies. These session cookies are necessary for core functions such as security and authentication.
• Acceptance cookies. These remember your cookie preferences to avoid repeated prompts. They last as per your browser settings or until cleared.
• Functionality cookies. These remember your choices, like login details, so the Services work the way you set them. They last as per your browser settings or until cleared.
• Do Not Track. You can set your browser to signal that you don't want to be tracked. Currently, our Websites do not respond to DNT signals and operate as described in this Privacy Policy.

You can manage cookies in a number of ways:

• Opting out of ad measurement. You can block Google's measurement tag with your browser's privacy settings or a content blocker, and manage Google's use of data at adssettings.google.com. You can also email [email protected].
• Blocking cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings.

Note that because these opt-out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt out on every browser and device that you use.

5. Retention of Your Personal Information

Dryink retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods depend on the nature of the information, the purposes for which it is processed, and applicable legal requirements. Information may be retained longer where necessary to resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, or comply with applicable law.

6. How to Delete Your Personal Information

You have the right to delete or request that we assist in deleting the personal information we have collected about you. The Services may allow you to delete certain information about you from within the Services.

You may update, amend, or delete your information anytime by signing in to your account if you have one, and visiting the account settings section. You may also contact us at [email protected] to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information. Please note, however, that we may need to retain certain information when we have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.

When you close your account, you are signed out and lose access to your reviews immediately. We delete your documents, review results, and account information from our active systems within 30 days. Copies retained in ordinary-course backups may be deleted in accordance with our standard backup retention procedures and remain subject to appropriate security and confidentiality protections. To prevent abuse of free services, we may retain a one-way, keyed hash of your email address. We would use it only to determine whether a new account is eligible for free services.

7. Security of Your Personal Information

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. No Children

The Services and our Websites are not intended for use by anyone under 18 years of age. If we become aware that we have collected personal information directly from anyone under 18, we will delete that information, subject to applicable legal requirements.

9. Links to Other Websites

The Services may link to websites and services we don't operate. We don't control those third-party sites and aren't responsible for their content, privacy policies, or practices.

10. Supplemental Notice to Authorized Users

Where our Services are made available to you through an organization (e.g., your employer), that organization is the administrator of the Service and responsible for the accounts and/or services over which it has control. For example, where we make administrator features available, an administrator may be able to access and change information in your account or restrict and terminate your access to the Services. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of an administrator's organization. Please contact your organization or refer to your organization's policies for more information.
