We aim to collect only the information needed to operate Tyg, keep accounts secure, and provide the features you choose to use.

The information we collect depends on how you use Tyg.

Account information

When you create an account, we may collect information such as:

• Website, social media, portfolio, or business links

Information you choose to publish may be visible to people who:

• Visit your profile link
• Scan your QR code

• View your profile through a company or organization page

You should only publish information you are comfortable sharing publicly.

Contacts and networking information

Tyg may allow you to save and organize contacts, including names, phone numbers, email addresses, companies, notes, groups, and follow-up details.

People may also choose to send their contact details to you through your public profile.

Where contact import or export is available, Tyg may request permission to access your device contacts. This access is used only when you choose to import or export contact information.

Photos and files

When you upload a profile photo, cover image, company logo, document, or other file, it may be stored securely so it can be displayed or used within Tyg.

Tyg only accesses photos and files that you choose or permit the app to access.

Company and team information

When you use Tyg as part of a company or team, we may process information such as:

• Company name, branding, and contact details
• Your role or membership within the company
• Employee profiles
• Company settings and permissions
• Profile engagement and usage information
• Subscription or billing status

Authorized company administrators may be able to manage work-related profiles and view information connected to their organization.

Usage and technical information

We may collect limited technical information needed to operate and secure Tyg, such as:

• App and device type
• Operating system and app version
• IP address
• Login and security activity
• Notification identifiers
• Profile views and link clicks
• Error and performance information
• Date and time of app or website activity

This information helps us deliver the service, prevent misuse, troubleshoot problems, and understand how Tyg features are used.

3. How we use information

We may use information to:

• Create and manage Tyg accounts
• Provide digital profiles and business cards
• Display information users choose to publish

We do not sell personal information.

We do not use personal information for third-party behavioral advertising.

4. How information may be shared

We may share or make information available in the following situations.

When you choose to share it

Information may be shared when you:

• Publish a Tyg profile
• Share your profile link or QR code
• Use an NFC-enabled Tyg product
• Send your contact information to another person
• Join a company or organization
• Use a feature that connects Tyg to another service

With company administrators

If your account is connected to a company, authorized administrators may be able to access or manage work-related profile information, company membership, branding, and relevant usage information.

With service providers

We use trusted providers to help operate Tyg, including services for:

• Account authentication
• Cloud databases and file storage
• Push notifications
• Website and application hosting
• Email and customer support
• Payment and delivery processing
• Security and technical infrastructure

These providers process information only as needed to provide their services to us.

Our main technology providers may include Google Firebase, Google Cloud, and Hostinger.

When required for legal or safety reasons

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or a valid legal request
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• Protect Tyg, our users, or other people
• Enforce our terms and agreements
• Establish or defend legal claims

5. Public profiles and third-party links

Public Tyg profiles may contain links to social networks, websites, portfolios, payment services, or other third-party platforms.

When you open a third-party link, that service’s privacy policy and terms apply. Tyg does not control how those third parties handle information.

Information published on a public profile may also be copied or saved by other people. Removing information from Tyg may not remove copies that were previously saved or shared outside our service.

6. Data retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed to:

• Provide Tyg
• Maintain account security
• Meet contractual or legal requirements
• Resolve disputes
• Prevent fraud and misuse

Account and profile information is generally retained while your account remains active.

Information you delete may remain temporarily in secure backups before being removed through normal backup processes.

Certain limited records may be retained when required for legal, tax, accounting, security, or fraud-prevention purposes.

7. Account and data deletion

You may request deletion of your Tyg account and associated information.

You can use the account-deletion option inside the Tyg app or visit:

https://instatyg.com/account-deletion/

You may also email:

support@instatyg.com

Use the subject:

Tyg Account Deletion Request

We may ask you to verify ownership of the account before completing a deletion request. We will never ask you to send us your password.

After verification, we will delete or anonymize personal information connected to your account where reasonably possible.

Some limited information may remain when:

• It must be retained for legal, tax, accounting, or security purposes
• Another user has independently saved information you shared
• Information forms part of a company record that must be retained
• Data remains temporarily in secure backups
• Retention is needed to prevent fraud or abuse

Account suspension or removal from a company is not the same as account deletion.

8. Your choices and rights

You can manage much of your information directly through Tyg.

Depending on the available features, you may be able to:

• Update your profile
• Choose which profile details are public
• Remove photos, links, contacts, or other content
• Disable notifications
• Revoke contact, photo, file, or NFC permissions
• Disable or delete your public profile
• Request account deletion

Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a copy of your personal information.

To submit a privacy request, contact:

support@instatyg.com

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

9. App permissions

Tyg may request access to certain device features, depending on what you use, including:

• Notifications
• Contacts
• Photos and files
• NFC
• Local reminders

Permissions are requested only when needed for the related feature.

You can deny or revoke permissions through your device settings. Some features may not work without the relevant permission.

10. Cookies and website information

The Tyg mobile app does not use browser cookies in the same way as a website.

Our websites may use cookies or similar technologies for:

• Essential website functions
• Login sessions
• Security
• Language or regional preferences
• Shopping-cart and order functions

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including:

• Secure HTTPS connections
• Authentication controls
• Access restrictions
• Role-based permissions
• Cloud security rules
• Security monitoring

No online service can guarantee complete security. You should keep your login details private and contact us if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.

12. International processing

Tyg and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live.

Where required, we use appropriate contractual or legal safeguards for international data transfers.

13. Children’s privacy

Tyg is intended for professional and business use and is not directed to children under 18.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information to Tyg may contact us at:

support@instatyg.com

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, legal obligations, or privacy practices change.

The updated version will be published on this page, and the “Last updated” date will be changed.
