ChatPanda ("we", "our", or "us") is operated by Newark Studio. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our customer support platform, website (chatpanda.net), and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

When you register for an account, we collect your name, email address, company name, and password (stored in hashed form).

2.2 Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including IP address, browser type, pages visited, feature usage, and timestamps.

2.3 Customer Conversation Data

When you use ChatPanda to communicate with your customers, we process and store the conversation data (messages, metadata, and files) on your behalf. You are the data controller for this information; we act as a data processor.

2.4 Payment Information

Payment processing is handled by third-party providers (e.g., Stripe). We do not store your full credit card number. We receive only a token and last four digits for reference.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored in secure, encrypted databases. We use industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, and regular security audits.

For self-hosted (Enterprise) deployments, all data remains on your own infrastructure. We do not have access to self-hosted instance data.

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required by GDPR.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to individuals under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
