A. Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies:
Cookies are small pieces of data sent from a website and stored on your device. They allow us to remember and recognize users, enhancing the user experience. Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are tiny electronic tags embedded in our services, mainly used in combination with cookies. Unlike cookies stored on your device, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages or emails.
These technologies help us:
- Personalize and optimize your experience.
- Monitor user interactions and gather analytics.
- Understand user preferences and tailor advertising.
For users concerned about their privacy, options to manage and decline cookies are typically found in your browser's settings. Note, however, that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our services.

We harness third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, Apps Flyer, Smartlook and Facebook Analytics, to gauge traffic, discern trends, and improve our services. Data points these tools may collect include:
- Your navigation patterns within our platform.
- The frequency and duration of your visits.
- Your interaction with advertisements.
- Any referrals or exit pages.
Our commitment to providing a free, quality user experience means we also collaborate with advertising partners. This partnership may involve sharing certain data, always in adherence to privacy laws and regulations, to present more relevant ads. Information shared may include:
- Browsing habits.
- Timestamps of interactions.
- Anonymized email addresses.
- Device-specific identifiers.
However, any information we collect or share always respects user privacy and never compromises personal, identifiable details unless explicitly permitted by the user.
C. User Rights and Control:
Your trust is our priority. You reserve the right to:
- Object to or limit the processing of your data.
- Withdraw any prior consents.
- Opt-out of targeted marketing or advertising.
For users who wish to exercise these rights or learn more about how their data is used, please send email to our dedicated privacy center (support@radarsmart.app). Here, you'll find resources, tools, and more to help you take charge of your data.
Remember, even if you opt-out of targeted advertising, you may still see ads – they just won't be tailored to your interests.

IV. Disclosure to Third Parties
At RadarSmart, we are not only committed to providing excellent service but also to ensuring the privacy and security of your personal information. While certain operational and functional aspects necessitate us to share your data with external entities, it's done judiciously, with user consent, and often under strict data-sharing agreements. Here's a detailed breakdown of our practices:
In scenarios where the DPF is pertinent to your data, any inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and the DPF Principles, the latter shall govern. We subject ourselves to the FTC's investigatory powers regarding our DPF compliance. To understand more about the DPF and to view RadarSmart's certifications, we direct you to Data Privacy Framework's Official Site.
In addition to the DPF, RadarSmart also ensures the protection of data through other legally recognized methods, such as international data transfer agreements.
Rights of EEA, UK, and Swiss Citizens:
If you belong to the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you might have specific rights under the DPF concerning how your personal data is managed. This includes the ability to access, modify, or erase certain data. Instructions for these actions are detailed in Section V of our Privacy Policy.
We emphasize that if we transfer your personal data under the DPF to a third-party service provider acting on our behalf and they process it in a manner inconsistent with the DPF, RadarSmart might bear certain responsibilities under the DPF, especially if we are found responsible for the event causing harm.
Should any EEA, UK, or Swiss citizen believe that RadarSmart is not honoring this Privacy Policy or is in violation of the DPF Principles, we urge you to reach out to us at the contact details provided in our 'Contact Us' section.
Dispute Resolution Mechanisms:
In the event your concerns remain unresolved, RadarSmart is committed to participating in the DPF's independent dispute resolution mechanism, overseen by JAMS, a renowned U.S.-based alternative dispute resolution provider. This service is available at no charge to you.
Specifically, for employee and human resource data-related disputes, RadarSmart vows to collaborate with panels established by local data protection authorities. This includes aligning with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner for Swiss citizens, the relevant UK authority for UK citizens, and respective authorities for EEA citizens.
Should we not respond to your grievance within 45 days or if, after communication with us, your issue remains unresolved, we invite you to register a complaint with JAMS via JAMS Dispute Resolution Platform.
Finally, for certain situations where your DPF-related complaint remains unaddressed even after pursuing the aforementioned channels, there's a provision for resolution through binding arbitration. Further details on this can be found in Annex I of the DPF.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to uphold your privacy, keeping transparency at the core of our operations.
