We do not sell your personal data to any third party. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

You can customize which notifications you receive from Settings > Notifications. You can also disable push notifications entirely from your device settings.
Your detailed contact information (email, phone, LinkedIn) is only visible to users you have explicitly connected with. You can remove connections at any time.
You can block any user from the networking section. Blocked users cannot see your profile or send you connection requests.

You have the right to request a copy of your personal data. Contact us at support@kscaa.com to make a request.
The App is designed for professional conference attendees and is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
Your data may be processed and stored on servers located outside India. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your data to these locations, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App or by sending a push notification. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
