In some cases, we partner with third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) who place cookies or similar technologies on your device to gather anonymized or pseudonymized usage data over time.

Geo-location
We do not access or track precise location data from your mobile device without your explicit consent. However, we may infer approximate location based on IP address to provide localized content or comply with regulatory requirements.

Our Platform may offer features that allow you to interact with third-party platforms, such as social networks (e.g., logging in with social media credentials or sharing content).
When you choose to connect your Supply Leader account to a third-party platform, we may receive certain personal data from that platform — such as your name, profile picture, email address, or other information you have made publicly available — in accordance with the privacy settings of your social media account.
We do not post to your social media profile or share your account data with third-party platforms without your knowledge or consent. Any data we receive through such integrations is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We recommend reviewing the privacy settings and terms of use of the relevant third-party platforms to control what information is shared with us.

The processing of such data is governed by a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that outlines applicable safeguards, including access control, encryption, retention limits, and incident response procedures. This agreement is available upon request.

- access controls based on roles and necessity;
- secure infrastructure and firewalls;
- employee access restrictions and confidentiality commitments;

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account or data, please contact us immediately at support@supplyleader.com.

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time in response to legal, regulatory, operational, or technological developments.
All changes will be published on this page, with the effective date clearly indicated at the top of the document. Unless otherwise stated, the updated version of the Policy will apply immediately upon publication and will govern all personal data we hold about you.
We encourage users to review this Policy periodically to stay informed of how we protect their information.
In cases where changes are material or significantly affect your rights, we may provide additional notice (e.g., via email or in-app notifications). It is your responsibility to keep your contact details up to date to receive such notifications.
20. Children
The Platform is not intended for access or use by individuals under the age of 13. Supply Leader does not knowingly collect, store, or process personal data of children under 13 years of age, unless such processing is expressly permitted under applicable law, including where verifiable parental consent has been obtained in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
By using the Platform, each user confirms that they are at least 13 years of age. Any submission of personal data by individuals under 13 without the necessary legal basis constitutes a violation of this Policy.
If it is established that personal data of a child under 13 has been collected in violation of applicable requirements, such data will be promptly and securely deleted in accordance with internal compliance procedures.
Parents or legal guardians who believe that their child's data has been submitted to the Platform in breach of this Policy may submit a formal request for account removal and data deletion by contacting support@supplyleader.com.
For users located in the European Economic Area, the age threshold for valid consent to data processing may vary by country but generally ranges from 13 to 16 years.
21. Do-Not-Track Policy
Some web browsers and mobile operating systems offer a "Do-Not-Track" (DNT) setting, which allows users to signal their preference not to be tracked across websites.
At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for how such signals should be interpreted or applied by websites. Therefore, our Platform does not currently respond to DNT signals.
We continue to monitor developments in this area and may update our practices if an industry-wide standard is adopted and becomes legally binding.
