How do we protect your information?

All the information you provide to us is stored securely. Our website employs end-to-end encryption to safeguard your data. Additionally, our platform ensures industry-standard security and encryption for all connections. Any data we gather is stored within protected databases and data storage systems, with stringent access controls. All requests for data access are logged and monitored, following threat detection policies. However, it's important to note that while we take extensive measures to safeguard your personal information, transmitting data over the internet is not entirely foolproof. Despite the use of special notices indicating encrypted transmissions (like for credit card information), we cannot assure the complete security of data transmitted to us. Any transmission is done at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we apply rigorous procedures and security features to deter unauthorized access.

Payment processing

Payments made through our Services are conducted via our payment gateway provider, Stipe. When making a payment, you will directly provide your credit or debit card information to Stipe. Stipe operates a secure server for processing payment details, ensuring encryption of your credit/debit card information and authorizing the payment.

  • Cardholder's name
  • Last four digits of the card

External sites

Flyksoft may occasionally include links to external websites. If you choose to visit any of these sites through the provided links, please be aware that these websites operate under their own privacy policies. Flyksoft is not responsible for these policies or any content present on external sites, and the inclusion of these links does not necessarily indicate an endorsement of the views expressed on those sites. Flyksoft lacks control over the accessibility of these external websites. Prior to sharing any personal information on these websites, we recommend reviewing their respective policies.

How long is your information kept for?

In general, we will process personal information as follows:

  • For as long as it's necessary for the original purpose(s) it was collected (such as managing it on behalf of a Business or during the duration of your account with us).
  • Up to six years beyond that to identify any issues and settle legal proceedings.
In certain cases, we might keep your personal data for an extended period if there's a complaint, a potential for legal proceedings, or awareness of ongoing legal actions. If applicable law requires, we may retain data for a longer duration. If you initially choose to receive insights, newsletters, or other promotional materials, but later opt out or object to further processing of your personal information, we will maintain a record of your opt-out or objection to respect your preferences. Aggregated, anonymized, or pseudonymized data – useful for reporting and analytics purposes – may be retained for longer periods.

Aggregated data

In certain situations, we may anonymize your personal data, rendering it unidentifiable and no longer associated with you. This anonymized data, which includes aggregated statistics, ceases to be personal data. We retain and utilize this anonymized information indefinitely without needing to inform you further. We utilize this anonymized data to:

  • Enhance our ability to understand how individuals use our Services.
  • Furnish our Business and Clients with information about our Services, encompassing user statistics (e.g., overall numbers, general demographic statistics).
