Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ASCNDX collects, uses, stores, and shares your personal information when you visit our website or sign up for early access. By using the ASCNDX website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Who We Are

ASCNDX is operated by two developers based in Israel. References to "we", "us", or "ASCNDX" in this policy refer to the operator of the ASCNDX platform. For privacy inquiries, contact us at official@ascndx.app.

ASCNDX acts as the data controller for personal information collected through this website.

2. What Data We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you sign up for early access, we collect:

• Email address

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Device type and operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on the website

2.3 Future Application Data (Face and Body Analysis)

The ASCNDX application — once released — is planned to collect facial image data and body-related inputs to deliver personalized analysis. This data constitutes biometric and sensitive personal data under applicable privacy laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant Israeli privacy regulations.

Prior to collecting any such data within the application, we will present you with a separate, explicit consent request explaining exactly what data is collected, how it is used, how long it is retained, and with whom it is shared. You will not be able to use the face or body analysis features without providing this explicit consent. This policy will be updated prior to application launch to cover such data in full.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect to:

• Send you launch and early access notifications
• Notify you of updates to the ASCNDX application timeline or features
• Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations
• Improve our website and user experience
• Detect and prevent fraud or unauthorized activity

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal bases for processing your personal data are:

• Consent: You have given your email address voluntarily to receive early access communications (you may withdraw consent at any time)
• Legitimate interests: Preventing fraud, improving our website, and maintaining the security of our platform

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Analytics

We may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand how visitors use our website. These tools may collect anonymized usage data including page views, session duration, and traffic sources. Where required by law, we obtain your consent before activating analytics tracking.

5.2 Email Communications

We may use a third-party email service provider to send launch and update emails. Your email address is shared with this provider solely for the purpose of delivering communications you have signed up for.

6. Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. We use:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function correctly
• Analytics cookies: To understand how visitors use our website (requires consent where applicable)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website. Where required by law (including under the EU ePrivacy Directive), we will present you with a cookie consent banner.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Specifically:

• Email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Analytics data is retained in anonymized or aggregated form for up to 26 months

When your data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

8. Your Rights

8.1 Rights Under GDPR (EEA Residents)

If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations

8.2 Rights Under Israeli Privacy Law

If you are located in Israel, you have the right to access and correct personal information held about you, in accordance with the Israeli Privacy Protection Law (1981) and its regulations.

8.3 California Residents (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, request deletion of your personal information, and opt out of any sale of your personal information. ASCNDX does not sell personal information to third parties.

9. International Data Transfers

ASCNDX is operated from Israel. If you are located in the EEA or another jurisdiction with data transfer restrictions, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in Israel or other countries where our service providers operate.

Israel has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection for personal data transferred from the EEA. Where other transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a personal data breach, ASCNDX will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where required by applicable law. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.

11. Children's Privacy

The ASCNDX website and planned application are not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at official@ascndx.app.

12. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, particularly prior to the launch of the ASCNDX application when additional data collection (such as facial image data) will be introduced. We will notify users of material changes via email and update the effective date at the top of this document.
