5. How We Share Your Data

5.1 — Sub-processors

We use the following third-party service providers who process data on our behalf under contractual data processing agreements:

Provider Purpose Data Processed Location
Anthropic, PBC AI inspection analysis and operations intelligence Inspection photographs, operational queries United States
Stripe, Inc. Payment processing and subscription management Billing metadata, subscription status United States

We contractually require all sub-processors to protect your data to at least the same standard as this policy requires of us. We maintain an up-to-date list of sub-processors and will notify Enterprise customers of any material changes to this list.

5.2 — Your Employer or Organization

If you access Flaggity through an account created by your employer or organization — your employer has visibility into your activity within that account as permitted by their role and permissions settings. Your employer as the account owner (Customer) is the data controller for operational data within their account. Flaggity is the data processor.

5.3 — Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal process — including court orders, subpoenas, or government requests. We will notify you of such requests where legally permitted to do so.

5.4 — Business Transfers

If Flaggity is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar transaction — your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and a prominent notice on our platform before your data becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy.

5.5 — Protection of Rights

We may share data where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Flaggity, our customers, or others — including exchanging information with other organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Specifically:

  • Account data: retained for the duration of your subscription plus 3 years after account closure
  • Inspection and quality records: retained for the duration of your subscription plus 7 years — inspection records may have legal and regulatory significance for our customers
  • Financial and billing records: retained for 7 years to comply with tax and accounting regulations
  • Usage and technical logs: retained for 24 months
  • Deleted user data: when a user account is deleted at the request of a Master Admin or through our account deletion process — personal identifiers are removed within 30 days. Operational records (inspections, NCRs, reports) are anonymized rather than deleted to preserve the integrity of quality records for the company account.
  • Closed company accounts: all data deleted within 90 days of account closure upon written request

7. International Data Transfers

Flaggity is based in the United States. If you access our platform from the European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, or other regions with laws governing data collection and use — your data will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

For transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area or United Kingdom to the United States — we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission as our transfer mechanism. You may request a copy of the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting privacy@flaggity.com.

For Canadian users — we comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation.
