4. How We Use Your Information
We process personal information for the following purposes:
Providing Our Services: Creating accounts, authenticating users, displaying content, managing interactions, and operating social networking features.
Improving User Experience: Enhancing the interface, optimizing performance, and helping users discover relevant content and accounts.
Protecting the Platform: Detecting fake accounts, unauthorized access attempts, spam, fraudulent activities, and potential violations.
Communicating With Users: Sending essential account-related messages, password reset emails, security alerts, and responses to support requests.
Managing Notifications: Informing users about interactions, followers, messages, and activities related to their accounts, according to available features and preferences.
Analytics and Development: Understanding platform performance, identifying technical issues, and improving service quality.
Legal Compliance: Meeting legal obligations and responding to binding requests from competent authorities.
We do not use personal information for purposes incompatible with those disclosed in this policy without an appropriate legal basis.
5. Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data
Depending on the nature of the information and applicable laws, our processing activities may rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
Performance of a Contract: When processing is necessary to create an account and provide services requested by the user.
Consent: When specific processing activities require the user's consent, such as certain optional cookies or marketing communications.
Legitimate Interests: When processing is necessary to protect the platform, improve security, or prevent misuse, while respecting users' rights and freedoms.
Legal Obligations: When applicable laws require us to retain certain information or disclose it to competent authorities through appropriate legal procedures.
These legal bases are applied in accordance with the legislation applicable to the platform operator and the users concerned.
6. Information Visible to Others
SAMJEA is a social networking platform. Therefore, certain information and content you choose to publish may be visible to other users or visitors, depending on the nature of the service and available privacy settings.
Public information may include your username, profile picture, biography, public posts, comments, and visible interactions.
We recommend reviewing information carefully before publishing it, as public content may be viewed, shared, or saved by others.
Deleting content from SAMJEA does not necessarily remove copies previously saved independently by third parties.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
SAMJEA may use cookies and similar technologies to provide a stable, secure, and convenient browsing experience.
These technologies may be used to maintain login sessions, remember language and display preferences, protect accounts, and analyze website performance.
Some cookies may be strictly necessary for the operation of our services, while optional cookies may require your consent where applicable law provides.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings or through consent management tools provided by the platform, where available.
Disabling essential cookies may affect certain website features.
8. Sharing Information With Third Parties
We do not consider the sale of personal data to be a core activity of SAMJEA, and we do not permit the sharing of personal information outside the legitimate purposes described in this policy.
However, providing certain services may require limited data sharing in the following circumstances:
Technical Service Providers: Including hosting, infrastructure, email delivery, security, and analytics providers, to the extent necessary to deliver contracted services.
Other Users: When you choose to publish or share information through social networking features.
Competent Authorities: When disclosure is required by a legally binding request or applicable law.
Protection of Rights and Safety: When sharing certain information is necessary and legally permitted to address fraud, security threats, or serious violations.
We seek to limit data sharing to what is necessary for the specified purpose and to apply appropriate legal and contractual safeguards.
9. External Stores and Commercial Links
SAMJEA allows entrepreneurs and online retailers to promote their products and services and direct users to external websites and online stores.
When you click a link leading to an independent store or website, you leave the environment controlled by SAMJEA. The third party may collect your information according to its own privacy policy.
Under its service model, SAMJEA does not process purchase payments between merchants and customers or store payment card details for completing those purchases.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies and terms of use of external stores before providing personal or financial information.
10. Data Protection and Account Security
We aim to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or unlawful disclosure.
Depending on the nature of the service, measures that should be implemented include secure connections, password protection, restricted data access, security monitoring, system updates, and vulnerability management.
Despite the importance of these safeguards, no internet-connected system can guarantee absolute security.
We therefore encourage users to choose strong and unique passwords, never share their login credentials, avoid suspicious links, and report unusual account activity.
11. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, or protect legitimate rights and interests.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the service, account status, and applicable security and legal requirements.
When an account or content is deleted, the associated information is processed according to established deletion procedures.
Certain information may be retained temporarily or on a limited basis where necessary and legally permitted, including security logs or records required for legal compliance.
12. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable laws, you may have rights concerning your personal data, including:
The right to request access to personal information relating to you.
The right to request correction of inaccurate information.
The right to request deletion of your personal data where legal conditions are met.
The right to request restrictions on certain processing activities.
The right to object to certain types of processing.
The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of previous processing.
The right to request a copy of your data or its portability where provided by law.
The right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.
Some requests may be subject to legal conditions or exceptions.
You may exercise your available rights through your account settings, where the relevant functionality is provided, or by contacting the official privacy communication channel.
13. Account Deletion
We respect users' rights to discontinue using SAMJEA and request deletion of their accounts and personal information in accordance with applicable laws.
When an account deletion request is submitted, we may need to verify the identity of the requester to prevent unauthorized deletion.
Deletion requests are handled according to established technical and legal procedures, taking into account information that must lawfully be retained.
Certain traces of deleted content may remain in backups for a limited period until the applicable backup retention cycle ends.
14. Children's Privacy
We place particular importance on protecting children and minors.
Users must meet the minimum age requirements established by SAMJEA's Terms of Service and the laws applicable in their country of residence.
Where the law requires consent from a parent or legal guardian, such consent must be obtained before processing information that requires it.
If we discover that a child's personal information has been collected in violation of applicable law, we will take appropriate action, including deleting the information where necessary.
15. International Data Transfers
Due to the nature of digital services, hosting, technical support, or other operational activities may involve processing personal data in countries outside the user's country of residence.
Where international transfers of personal information occur, they should comply with applicable laws and be supported by appropriate legal safeguards, including any required contractual and organizational measures.
16. Advertising and Commercial Content
SAMJEA may feature business accounts, promotional posts, and content relating to products and services offered by users or independent third parties.
Such content may appear within the platform's browsing and discovery experience.
If SAMJEA introduces advertising services in the future that use personal information for targeting or measurement, we will explain the relevant data processing practices and provide the choices and consent mechanisms required by law.
SAMJEA does not grant merchants access to users' non-public personal information merely because those users interact with commercial posts.
17. Notifications and Email Communications
SAMJEA may send notifications and emails related to account operation, security, and the services used by account holders.
These communications may include email verification messages, password recovery instructions, security alerts, social interaction notifications, and service-related announcements.
Where optional or marketing communications are available, we aim to provide appropriate methods for managing or unsubscribing from them in accordance with applicable laws.
Certain essential security and account-related communications may continue even when optional notifications are disabled.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when developing our services, modifying data processing practices, or responding to new legal or regulatory requirements.
The updated version will be published on this page, together with a revised "Last Updated" date.
Where changes are significant or legally require notification or consent, we will take appropriate steps to inform users or obtain the necessary consent.
We encourage users to review this page periodically to stay informed about how their personal information is handled.
