Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ASCNDX collects, uses, stores, and shares your personal information when you visit our website or make a pre-order purchase. 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 make a pre-order purchase, we collect:

• Full name
• Email address
• Payment information (processed and stored by Paddle — we do not store card details)
• Billing country and region (used for tax calculation)

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
• Referring URL

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:

• Process and fulfill your pre-order
• Send you transactional emails regarding your purchase and order status
• Notify you of updates to the ASCNDX application timeline or features
• Comply with applicable tax, 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:

• Contract performance: Processing your pre-order and communicating about your purchase
• Legal obligation: Complying with applicable tax laws and regulations
• Legitimate interests: Preventing fraud, improving our website, and maintaining the security of our platform
• Consent: For any marketing communications or optional data collection (you may withdraw consent at any time)

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Paddle (Payment Processing)

All payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited, which acts as merchant of record. Paddle collects and processes your payment information, billing address, and transaction details directly. Paddle's privacy policy is available at paddle.com/legal/privacy.

5.2 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.

5.3 Email Communications

We may use a third-party email service provider to send transactional and update emails. Your email address is shared with this provider solely for the purpose of delivering communications related to your pre-order.

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:

• Pre-order and transaction records are retained for a minimum of 7 years for tax and accounting compliance
• Email communications 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
• Right to restriction: Request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances
• Right to data portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Right to object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw any consent you have previously given at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at official@ascndx.app. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

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. Payment data is handled exclusively by Paddle and is subject to PCI-DSS compliance standards. 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. Notifications will be sent to the email address associated with your account.

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 you of material changes via email and update the effective date at the top of this document.
