Effective: January 12, 2026
1. Introduction
Quick Read:
This Privacy and Cookies Policy explains what personal data SupportYourApp collects, why we use it, how we protect it, and the rights you have under applicable laws. It applies whenever we act as a data controller.
At SupportYourApp, Inc. (“SupportYourApp,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we take your privacy seriously and are committed to handling personal data responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
This Privacy and Cookies Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains:
the personal data we collect and the methods by which we collect it,
the purposes for which we use and protect your information,
the rights you have under applicable data protection laws, and
the ways you can contact us with questions or concerns.
If you have questions, you can reach us directly using the details in the Contact Information section at the end of this Privacy Policy.
When this Privacy Policy Applies. This Privacy Policy applies whenever SupportYourApp acts as a data controller of personal data in connection with our activities, including when you:
Access our main website at https://supportyourapp.com/ (the “Website”), for example when browsing, reading resources, or submitting forms.
Engage with our related services, tools, or features (together, the “Services”), which consist of business process outsourcing, customer support, and related professional services.
Communicate with us directly, such as through forms, emails, or phone or messages with our business growth or service delivery teams.
Participate as a business representative, point of contact, referrer, or affiliate participant in referral or affiliate programs that we operate or administer.
Engage with our marketing, such as newsletters, links, or communication preference settings.
Participate in events, such as webinars, workshops, or training sessions we organize or sponsor.
Provide content, such as feedback, surveys, testimonials, or materials.
Carry out transactions with us, such as entering into commercial agreements, billing, or payments related to our Services.
Interact with cookies or analytics features active on our Website (see “Cookies” section for details).
Follow a direct link stating that this Privacy Policy governs the relevant processing, in which case this Privacy Policy applies to those activities.
Otherwise use or engage with SupportYourApp in ways that reasonably involve the collection or use of your personal data in connection with our business activities, unless a separate privacy notice is provided.
When this Privacy Policy Does Not Apply. This Privacy Policy does not apply in every situation. Specifically, it does not cover:
Processing on behalf of clients. When providing our Services, we may process personal data on behalf of our clients, who remain the data controllers. In such cases, their privacy notice governs, and any questions or concerns about processing should be directed to them.
Service-specific terms. Certain Services may have their own dedicated privacy terms explaining how personal data is used in that context. Those terms apply in addition to this Privacy Policy.
Other SupportYourApp websites. Websites or online services operated by SupportYourApp or its affiliates follow their own privacy notices. This Privacy Policy applies to another site only if that site expressly states so.
Third-party services and integrations. If you follow links or use integrations operated by third parties, those providers are responsible for their own data practices. Their privacy notices apply, and we encourage you to review them.
Third-party platforms. We maintain official pages on external platforms (such as professional networks or social media). These providers control their own data collection and use, and their privacy notices apply accordingly. This Privacy Policy governs only our subsequent processing of information we receive from those platforms.
Social plug-ins and embeds. Our Website may include third-party buttons, widgets, or embedded content. These providers may collect data directly from your browser under their own privacy notices. This Privacy Policy applies only to any information we then receive.
Recruitment and engagements. If you apply for an opportunity with SupportYourApp, join us as an employee, or provide services as an independent contractor, your personal data is handled under separate privacy notices provided at the relevant stage.
Anonymized or aggregated information. Data that no longer identifies you personally is outside the scope of this Privacy Policy.
2. Our Role in Data Processing
Quick Read:
Depending on the context, SupportYourApp may act as a Data Controller or a Data Processor. This distinction determines who is responsible for decisions about your data and how you can exercise your rights.
We may handle personal data in different capacities depending on the context of your interaction with us. Transparency about these roles is important because it determines who is responsible for decisions about your data and how you may exercise your rights.
SupportYourApp as Data Controller. We act as a Data Controller when we collect personal data directly from you for our own purposes. This includes operating the Website, providing and improving our Services, maintaining communications, or carrying out the activities described in this Privacy Policy. In this role, SupportYourApp determines the purposes and means of processing and ensures that processing is carried out lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
SupportYourApp as Data Processor. We act as a Data Processor when we process personal data on behalf of our clients, who remain the Data Controllers. In this role, SupportYourApp does not decide why or how the data is used; instead, we follow the client’s documented instructions and process the data only for the purposes they define. Examples include when we provide outsourcing customer support services to our clients.
For individuals. If your personal data is processed by SupportYourApp within the Services provision to the clients, we have no direct relationship with you. Requests to access, correct, delete, or withdraw consent for such data should be directed to the relevant client (the Data Controller). SupportYourApp cannot independently fulfill these requests, but our clients can delete, amend, or block access to personal data on their own or by contacting SupportYourApp.
For clients. Please also refer to your contract(s) with us, including any applicable data processing agreement, for details on how we process personal data on your behalf. These agreements set out the scope of processing, our responsibilities as Data Processor, and any additional obligations.
No Joint Control. SupportYourApp does not act as a joint controller with third parties unless explicitly stated in connection with a specific feature, project, or program. Where joint control applies, we will clearly explain the arrangement and the respective responsibilities of each party.
3. Information We Collect

Data You Provide About Others. You may sometimes provide us with personal data about other individuals (for example, by sharing a colleague’s contact details, or submitting third-party references).
Your responsibility. If you provide personal data about other individuals (for example, by sharing colleagues’ details or submitting references), you confirm you are authorized to do so and, where required by law, that the individuals have been informed.
Our responsibility. We will use such data only for the purpose for which it was provided (for example, to deliver services, fulfill a project, or manage contractual communications) and not for unrelated purposes, processing it in line with this Privacy Policy.
If someone else provides us with your personal data, we will process it only for the reason it was shared and always in line with this Privacy Policy.
Pre-sales. When you request “Get A Quote”, you may share your first name, last name, business contact details (e.g., phone number, work email), your support needs (e.g., total number of requests per month, your product’s Website/AppStore URL, do you consider AI solutions in your support strategy, etc.). We use this information to evaluate your request, scope solutions, and follow up.
Recorded communications (where notified). If a meeting, demo, onboarding/enablement, or support session will be recorded, we will notify participants in advance. In those cases, we may process audio/video, screen content, and participation details for the stated purpose (for example, training, quality assurance, or providing a requested feature).
Surveys, research, and training participation. If you take part in surveys, webinars, workshops, or training we host or sponsor, we process your registration details, responses, feedback, and participation records. If a session will be recorded, we notify participants in advance and may process audio, video, screen content, and participation details for the stated purpose.
Marketing choices and engagement. We process your subscription status, opt-ins or opt-outs, topics of interest, and limited engagement signals such as email opens or link clicks to manage communications and assess effectiveness.
Information Collected Automatically
We also collect certain information automatically as you browse our Website. This helps us operate, secure, and improve the Website and Services. It may include:
Device and technical data. When you visit the Website, we automatically collect technical information such as IP address, browser type/version, operating system, language, referral source, timestamps, and approximate location derived from IP to support compatibility, performance, and security.
Website usage and technical data. We collect information about how visitors interact with our Website, such as pages viewed, navigation paths, form interactions, session duration, referral sources, and technical performance indicators (including errors or load times). This information is used to operate, secure, and improve our Website and online resources.
Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies, pixels, and similar tools to operate core functions (e.g., session management), analyze usage, detect misuse, and improve the experience. Some third-party tools may also support interest-based advertising. See the “Cookies” section for details and controls.
Information We Receive from Other Sources
We also receive personal data from third parties and professional sources, depending on your relationship with SupportYourApp. This may include:
Client-provided business contact information. Our clients may provide business contact and role information about their representatives for the purposes of managing commercial relationships, coordinating service delivery, configuring engagements, or handling billing and contractual communications. Depending on the context, authorized client contacts may have visibility into engagement status, assigned roles, or operational updates necessary to manage the relationship. Information processed in this context is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy when we act as a data controller.
Professional and business contact data. In the course of working with prospective or current clients, partners, or vendors, we may obtain professional contact information from third-party business data platforms, directories, or aggregators that compile business contact details (such as name, role, company, business email address, and business phone number). We use this information to identify relevant contacts, initiate or follow up on business communications, and manage professional relationships. Where required by law, individuals may exercise their rights or object to such processing as described in this Privacy Policy.
Referrals. If someone refers our Services to you (for example, through a referral program), they may provide us with your name, email address, and related details. You may contact privacy@supportyourapp.com to request removal of such information. If you provide information about another person, or another person provides us with your information, we will use it only for the specific reason it was shared.
Publicly available information. We may process professional details that are lawfully available in the public domain, such as information on company websites, directories, public reviews, or community forums referencing SupportYourApp. We use this only for limited and legitimate business-to-business purposes, such as verifying contact details, identifying opportunities, improving our Services, or responding to feedback. We do not combine this data to infer sensitive characteristics.
Compliance and KYB Checks. In the course of establishing or maintaining business relationships, we may process limited personal data relating to business representatives (such as name, business contact details, role, and affiliation) as part of Know Your Business (KYB), sanctions screening, anti-fraud, and risk-management checks. These checks are limited to verifying business entities, their registration details, ownership structure at a high level, sanctions exposure, and public-reputation signals, and do not involve identity verification of individuals or the processing of government-issued identification documents, and do not involve continuous monitoring of individuals.
Service partners and platforms. Event organizers, payment processors, or other connected services may share limited information needed to register you, authenticate you, process transactions, or deliver requested features. These providers are responsible for their own collection and disclosure practices.
Preference records and limited inferences. We maintain records of your privacy choices (such as cookie settings or marketing consents/withdrawals) so that your selections are respected. To keep communications useful, we may also derive limited, non-sensitive inferences (such as general content preferences) from interactions with our Website or communications. You can adjust preferences at any time.

7. Storage and Data Protection Measures
Quick Read:
We apply technical, organizational, and contractual safeguards to protect personal data. Access is restricted to authorized personnel, our systems are monitored and updated, and our service providers are required to meet strict security standards. While no system is 100% secure, we are committed to continuously maintaining and improving protections.
We take the protection of personal data seriously and combine technical, organizational, and contractual safeguards to keep it secure against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or misuse. Personal data is stored in secure environments, with access limited to trained and authorized personnel who are bound by confidentiality obligations. Our internal policies, training programs, and security procedures are designed to ensure that data is handled responsibly and that any potential threats are detected and addressed promptly.
Where we rely on third-party providers, such as cloud hosting, infrastructure, or analytics services, they are engaged under written agreements that require appropriate security measures, and we take steps to verify that those protections are in place. Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and is securely deleted or anonymized when no longer needed. While no system or transmission can be guaranteed as entirely secure, we apply safeguards proportionate to the sensitivity of the data and continually review and improve our practices.
8. Data Sharing and Disclosure
Quick Read:
We share personal data only when necessary to deliver our Services, comply with the law, or support legitimate business operations. Data may be shared within SupportYourApp and its affiliates, trusted service providers, and integrations you choose to enable. We may also share information with professional advisors, event partners, or regulators where required, and in connection with business transfers. We never sell personal data, and when sharing is required, we apply safeguards to protect it.
We share personal data only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and only with parties subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations and data protection safeguards. The categories of sharing are:
Internal Access and Affiliates
Within SupportYourApp and affiliated entities. Personal data may be accessed by authorized SupportYourApp personnel and, where relevant, affiliated group companies for purposes such as business operations, administration, compliance, finance, marketing, and relationship management. Access is limited to what is necessary for the relevant function and subject to confidentiality obligations.
Service Providers Supporting Our Business Operations
Business service providers. We engage third-party service providers to support our own business operations, such as website hosting, IT infrastructure, security monitoring, analytics, communications, marketing platforms, event management, accounting, and payment processing. These providers process personal data only as necessary to perform services for SupportYourApp and under contractual obligations requiring appropriate data protection and confidentiality safeguards.
Professional and Operational Partners
Advisors and auditors. We may share limited personal data with external auditors, insurers, banks, lawyers, or accountants where reasonably necessary for audit, insurance, financing, dispute resolution, or legal advice.
Events and community interactions. For events we host or co-host, registration and participation details may be shared with event platforms and co-organizers. In such cases, the other parties generally act as independent controllers with their own privacy notices. Where you post reviews, comments, or similar content in public forums, that information is available to others by nature of those platforms.
Verification and enrichment (business contacts). In a professional B2B context, we may validate or update professional contact details with reputable sources, limited to business attributes and subject to applicable law.
Payments and transactions. Billing and payment data may be shared with payment processors and financial institutions to complete transactions, prevent fraud, and meet financial or reporting obligations.

Social Media Features. Our websites may include social media features or widgets (such as “like” or “share” buttons) that are either hosted directly on our sites or by the respective social networks. When you interact with these features, the third parties providing them may collect information (such as your IP address or the page you are visiting) and may set cookies to enable functionality. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them.
Advertising and Marketing. We may partner with advertising networks and social media platforms that use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities and deliver tailored advertising. These parties act as independent controllers of the data they collect. You can opt out of targeted advertising through industry tools (optout.networkadvertising.org, optout.aboutads.info, or youronlinechoices.eu), or manage your preferences through our cookie controls.
Other Disclosures
Legal, Protection, and Exceptional Scenarios. We may disclose personal data where required to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, or regulatory obligations; to cooperate with law enforcement; or in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (i) take precautions against liability, (ii) protect SupportYourApp or others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses or activity, (iii) investigate and defend against third-party claims, (iv) safeguard the security or integrity of the Services and related infrastructure, or (v) protect our rights, property, or safety, or those of our users or others.
Business Transfers. If SupportYourApp undergoes a reorganization, merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of the business, including insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, personal data may be transferred to relevant parties as part of that transaction, provided the recipient is required to handle the data in a manner substantially consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Aggregated or De-Identified Information. We may share insights that do not identify individuals (for example, aggregated usage statistics) for research, reporting, or service improvement.
With Your Direction or Consent. We may share data with third parties where you ask us to (for example, publishing a testimonial) or otherwise provide consent.
No Sale of Personal Data. We do not sell personal data. In some jurisdictions, certain advertising technologies may be legally classified as a “sale” or “sharing” of data. Where applicable, you can manage these settings through your cookie and marketing preferences.
9. Data Retention
Quick Read:
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. When it is no longer needed, we delete or irreversibly de-identify it. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data, legal obligations, security needs, and business requirements.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law (for example, to meet audit, tax, accounting, compliance, or dispute-resolution obligations). When data is no longer needed, we delete it or irreversibly de-identify it.
How long we keep information depends on the type of data and the context in which it was collected. In determining retention periods, we consider factors such as:
the nature and sensitivity of the data;
the purposes for which it is processed;
applicable legal or regulatory requirements;
contractual commitments;
operational needs (including security, fraud prevention, and business continuity); and
applicable limitation periods for legal claims.
Examples of retention practices include:
Business contact and engagement records. Business contact information and engagement-related records are retained for the duration of our relationship and deleted or de-identified within a reasonable period after the relationship ends, unless retention is required for legal, contractual, accounting, or security purposes.
Service data. Where we process data on behalf of a client, retention, return, or deletion is governed by the client’s instructions and applicable contractual terms (see “Our Role in Data Processing”).
Security and operational logs. Authentication, access, diagnostic, and audit logs are retained for rolling periods necessary to maintain security and investigate incidents. Records linked to suspected security events or abuse may be retained longer if required for investigations or legal obligations.
Communications and support. Tickets, chats, call notes, and related correspondence are retained for a reasonable period to document requests, manage follow-ups, and improve service quality, unless longer retention is required by law or necessary to establish or defend legal claims.
Billing and transactions. Invoices, payment records, and financial documentation are retained for periods mandated by tax, accounting, and financial-reporting rules.
Events, training, and recordings. Registration details, attendance records, and recordings (where notice is given) are retained for the duration of the program and a reasonable follow-up period, unless longer retention is legally required or necessary for claims management.
Marketing preferences and suppression lists. Marketing preference data is retained to honor your choices. If you opt out, we maintain a limited suppression record to ensure you do not receive further marketing communications.
KYB and compliance checks. Records related to Know Your Business (KYB) checks, sanctions screening, and business due-diligence activities (such as company registration details, verification results, risk assessments, and limited information about authorized business representatives) are retained only for as long as necessary to satisfy applicable legal, regulatory, audit, or risk-management requirements, and are securely deleted or de-identified thereafter.
Cookies and similar technologies. Data collected via cookies and similar tools is retained in line with the designated cookie lifespan (see “Cookies” section for details).
We may retain de-identified or aggregated information (which cannot reasonably be linked to an individual) for analytics, research, and service improvement.
If we are legally required to preserve personal data (for example, due to litigation holds, investigations, or regulatory requests), we will retain only what is necessary for as long as required, and deletion will resume once the hold ends.
Deletion requests. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time (see “Your Privacy Rights and Choices”).
10. International Data Transfers
Quick Read:
As part of our global operations, your personal data may be transferred to or accessed from countries outside your home jurisdiction. We apply appropriate safeguards to help ensure such transfers are lawful and that your data remains protected.
In the course of providing Services and managing our business operations, your personal data may be accessed from or transferred to countries outside of your home jurisdiction. These transfers may occur, for example, when our teams, service providers, or infrastructure partners are located in other countries, or when you interact with clients or colleagues across borders.
Where personal data is transferred from jurisdictions that impose cross-border data transfer restrictions (such as the European Union, United Kingdom, or other locations with similar laws), we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that such transfers are lawful and that your personal data remains protected. Depending on the circumstances, these safeguards may include:
Adequacy Decisions. Where available, we rely on determinations by competent authorities (such as the European Commission) recognizing that the destination country provides an adequate level of data protection.
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or Local Equivalents. We may incorporate approved transfer clauses into our agreements with service providers or partners to ensure equivalent protection for data transferred outside the EEA, UK, or comparable jurisdictions.
Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Where relevant, we may rely on participation in recognized frameworks such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, provided the recipient organization is certified and subject to its principles.
Other Lawful Bases. In limited cases, and only where permitted by law, we may rely on other lawful grounds, such as where the transfer is necessary for contract performance, legal proceedings, or based on your explicit consent.
Where relevant, we may implement supplementary technical and organizational measures to align with applicable standards. In some cases, SupportYourApp personnel located outside your country may access personal data for support, troubleshooting, security, or service administration. Such access is limited to role-based needs and is subject to confidentiality commitments and data protection safeguards.
If your personal data is subject to international transfer safeguards, you may request further information about the transfer mechanism used. All cross-border transfers are subject to due diligence, contractual commitments, and security measures designed to ensure compliance with data-protection obligations and to safeguard your personal data.
11. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Quick Read:
You have rights regarding your personal data, which vary depending on your location (for example, rights to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, object, or withdraw consent). To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@supportyourapp.com. You can also manage your data directly through tools like unsubscribe links and cookie settings. Exercising your privacy rights will never result in discrimination, reduced service access, or other adverse consequences.
The rights described in this section may vary depending on your country or region. We will respect and facilitate your rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Depending on your location and the circumstances of processing, you may have rights such as:
Right of Access. You have the right to request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data, and, where we do, to receive a copy of that data along with relevant information about the processing activities.
Right to Rectification. You may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data relating to you.
Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten). In certain circumstances, such as when data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or where you withdraw your consent, you may request the deletion of your personal data.
Right to Restrict Processing. You may ask us to limit the processing of your data while we assess a concern, for example, if you contest the accuracy of the data or object to the processing.
Right to Object. You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data where it is based on our legitimate interests or involves direct marketing.
Right to Data Portability. Where legally applicable, you may request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to have that data transmitted directly to another data controller.
Right to Withdraw Consent. Where we rely on your consent for processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Right Not to Be Subject to Automated Decision-Making. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, where the decision produces legal effects or similarly significant consequences for you. Please note that we do not currently engage in solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effect without meaningful human involvement, unless required or permitted by applicable law.
-
Right to Lodge a Complaint. If you have any concerns about how we handle your personal data or believe that your data protection rights have been infringed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.
For individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), you can find contact details of supervisory authorities here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm

12. How to Exercise Your Rights
If you wish to exercise any of your privacy rights, please contact us at privacy@supportyourapp.com.
To help us process your request efficiently, please include:
Your full name and preferred contact details
A clear description of the right(s) you wish to exercise
Any relevant information that may assist us in locating your personal data (e.g., engagement period, terms, details)
We aim to respond to all valid requests within 30 calendar days, or within the legally required timeframe if different. For complex or multiple requests, this period may be extended, and we'll notify you of the extension.
Non-Discrimination. We respect your privacy choices and will not penalize you for exercising your rights. Exercising your privacy rights will not affect your ability to use our Services, or maintain your relationship with us. We will not deny Services, charge different prices or rates, or provide a different level or quality of Services as a result of your decision to exercise these rights.
Authorized Agents. If you prefer to exercise your rights through an authorized representative (such as a legal advisor or guardian), we may request:
A signed authorization permitting the representative to act on your behalf
Verification of your identity directly from you
Proof of your representative’s identity and their legal authority to act on your behalf
These safeguards help us protect your personal data and ensure your rights are respected and secure.
Limits and exceptions. While we will make every effort to honor your privacy rights, some requests cannot be fulfilled in full. Certain data may need to be retained where deletion or disclosure would conflict with legal obligations, regulatory requirements, or the rights of others (for example, trade secrets or personal data of third parties). We may also be required to preserve necessary business records, such as transaction details or audit logs, and some requests (such as portability) may not apply to derived or system-generated data. In addition, complete deletion from all systems may not be immediate, as backups and archives are purged only on scheduled cycles.
Any limitations are applied narrowly and only to the extent required. Where legally permissible, we will explain the reasons if we cannot fully comply with your request.

Browser Privacy Signals. Some browsers and privacy tools offer settings or signals intended to limit tracking, such as Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC). Our Services do not respond to DNT and do not currently detect or act on GPC or similar browser-level signals.

If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy.
