Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Darkel LLC, doing business as Darkel Capital ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our mobile applications (the "Apps") available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of our Apps.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Account registration information (e.g., name, email address)
• Profile information you choose to provide
• Communications you send us (e.g., support requests)

Information Collected Automatically

• Device identifiers (e.g., device model, operating system version)
• App usage data and crash reports
• IP address and general location (country/region level only)

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect precise geolocation, payment card details, government IDs, biometric data, or contact lists unless explicitly stated within an individual app's in-app disclosure at the time of collection.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide, operate, and improve our Apps
• Respond to support requests and communicate with you
• Monitor and analyze usage trends to improve user experience
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraud
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

• Contractual necessity — To provide you with the Apps and services you request (e.g., account registration, app functionality).
• Legitimate interest — To improve our Apps, detect fraud, ensure security, and analyze usage trends. We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms.
• Legal obligation — To comply with applicable laws and regulations.
• Consent — Where required, we obtain your consent before collecting or processing specific data (e.g., optional analytics). You may withdraw consent at any time.

5. Third-Party Services

Our Apps may use third-party services that collect information. These may include:

• Firebase (Google) — crash reporting and analytics
• Apple App Store / Google Play — app distribution and in-app purchases

Each third-party service has its own Privacy Policy governing its use of your information. We encourage you to review those policies.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide you with the App and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. You may delete your account and associated data at any time through the in-app account deletion feature (Settings → Account → Delete Account), or by emailing us at info@darkelcapital.com.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Apps are not directed to children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at info@darkelcapital.com and we will take steps to delete that information.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Object to or restrict our processing of your data
• Data portability (receiving your data in a structured format)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@darkelcapital.com.

9. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by GDPR. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to you, we will also notify affected users without undue delay via email or in-app notification.

11. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) provide you with additional rights:

• Right to Know — You may request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the prior 12 months.
• Right to Delete — You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to Opt-Out — You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
• Right to Non-Discrimination — We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

We do not sell or share your personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted by the CCPA/CPRA.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@darkelcapital.com. We will respond within 45 days.

12. International Data Transfers

Our Apps use third-party services (such as Firebase) that may process data in the United States and other countries. If you are located outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the US, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using our Apps, you consent to this transfer. We rely on standard contractual clauses and other lawful transfer mechanisms to protect your data during international transfers.

13. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website (darkelcapital.com) does not use cookies, tracking pixels, analytics tools, or third-party resources. All fonts and stylesheets are self-hosted — no data is transmitted to external servers when you visit our website. Our mobile Apps may use Firebase Analytics, which collects device identifiers including Advertising ID (IDFA on iOS, GAID on Android), Firebase Installation ID, and Analytics App Instance ID for crash reporting and usage analytics.

Do Not Track Signals

Our website does not track visitors and therefore does not respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals, as there is no tracking to disable. Our mobile Apps respect device-level privacy settings, including Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework and Google's advertising ID controls.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update both the "Effective date" and "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will take effect 30 days after posting. Continued use of our Apps after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

15. Data Protection

Darkel LLC, doing business as Darkel Capital, is based in the United States and does not have an establishment in the European Union. As a US-based company, we are not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) or EU representative under GDPR. However, we take your privacy seriously and will respond to all data protection inquiries. If you have GDPR-related concerns, contact us at the address below.
