Lawful bases (EEA/UK only)
If you are in the EEA/UK, we typically rely on: (i) contract (providing Services or responding to your requests), (ii) legitimate interests (e.g., securing and improving Services, B2B communications you initiate), and/or (iii) consent (where required—for example, certain cookies or marketing).
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to run the website and understand usage. Where required by law, we will present a consent banner and honor your choices. You can control cookies in your browser settings. If we use analytics or embedded third-party content, those providers may set cookies as described in their policies.
SMS/text messaging
Our toll‑free number supports conversational, human‑to‑human texting in response to messages you initiate. We do not send automated or bulk marketing texts.
- Consent: When you text us first, you authorize us to reply to your inquiry. If we ever use a keyword flow, we will send an automated message asking you to confirm.
- Opt‑out: You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT. You may text HELP for assistance.
- Rates: Message and data rates may apply.
- Purpose limit: We text only to respond to your inquiry or provide information you request (e.g., scheduling, links to our site).
How we disclose personal information
We disclose personal information to:
- Service providers/contractors that process data for us under written contracts (e.g., hosting, communications, analytics, security, professional advisors).
- Business transfers (e.g., merger, acquisition, or asset sale).
- Legal/safety (to comply with law, or protect rights, safety, and security).
No sale or sharing: We do not “sell” personal information and we do not “share” it for cross‑context behavioral advertising. If that changes, we will update this Policy, implement required opt‑out links/signals, and honor opt‑out preference signals.
Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods depend on the type of data and our relationship with you. We delete or anonymize data when it is no longer needed.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access or obtain a copy of your personal information.
- Request deletion or correction.
- Opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal information, or certain profiling.
- Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent).
- Appeal our response to your request (where applicable).
How to exercise your rights: Email us at privacy@darknt.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject, or use https://www.darknt.com/privacy if provided. We will verify your identity and respond as required by law. Authorized agents may submit requests per applicable law.
Global opt‑out signals
Where required by law (e.g., in California, Colorado, and Connecticut), we honor recognized browser‑based opt‑out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) for applicable opt‑outs. If we detect a valid signal, we will apply it to the device/browser and, if you are logged in or otherwise authenticated, to your account where feasible.
EEA/UK residents
You have additional rights under the GDPR, including the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests and the right to data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International data transfers
We may transfer, store, and process personal information outside of your state, province, or country, including in the United States. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses). If we rely on any certification program, we will describe it here: [[DATA_TRANSFER_SAFEGUARD_OR_CERTIFICATION_IF_ANY]].
Children’s privacy
Our Services are intended for business audiences and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated version and adjust the effective date. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the changes.
