We take strong measures to keep your data safe, using both technical and administrative safeguards.
If you have questions about data security, you can contact us at security@profengerbooks.com.
7. Children’s Privacy
Our services are for readers aged 16 and above. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us at privacy@profengerbooks.com, and we will remove it.
8. AI, Automation, and Analytics
We may use anonymized data to improve tools like recommendations and reading insights. Personalized AI models are created using only your organization’s data when applicable.
9. External Links and Social Media
Links, widgets, or social media features on our sites are governed by the privacy policies of those third parties. Please review them before sharing personal data.
10. Legal and Compliance
We may disclose your data to comply with laws, protect against fraud, or enforce our agreements. In rare cases of a sale or merger, we ensure your data privacy remains protected.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be notified via email or website notice. Continued use of our services means you agree to the updated policy.
12. Google User Data & Drive API Policy
Profenger ERP integrates with Google OAuth and Google Drive APIs to allow users to store automated company database backups directly in their personal or business Google Drive account.
How We Access Data: With your explicit consent, our application requests access to your email address (for account identification) and the drive.file scope (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file). This scope permits our application to create, upload, and update only the backup files and folder ('Profenger ERP Backups') created specifically by our service.
Data Usage & Non-Disclosure: Backup files (.pbk) are generated securely in-memory and transferred directly to your Google Drive. We do not scan, read, modify, or delete any of your other private Google Drive files. Your Google user data and OAuth tokens are strictly confidential and are never shared, sold, or transferred to third parties or advertising networks under any circumstances.
