01Information We Collect
- Account information. Your email address, a hashed password, and any messages you send us for support.
- License & activation data. Your license key and tier, a hashed device fingerprint / hardware identifier, activation and reset timestamps, and the IP address used at activation. We use these to bind a license to your device and enforce seat limits.
- Operational telemetry. Application version, module/feature usage, task success and error counts, and periodic “heartbeat” liveness signals. This data is associated with your license, not with the contents of your activity.
- Technical data. Browser type, device and operating system, and approximate location derived from IP, collected automatically when you visit the website.
- Cookies & local storage. A session cookie to keep you signed in, and local storage for preferences such as your theme. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
We do not collect the credentials you enter into third-party ticketing sites, and we do not sell your personal information.
02How We Use Information
- Provide, operate, and secure the Services;
- Activate and validate licenses and enforce device and seat limits;
- Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- Provide customer support and respond to your requests;
- Improve and develop features, reliability, and performance;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
03Legal Bases for Processing
Where data-protection laws such as the GDPR apply, we process personal data on the bases of contract performance (delivering the Services you request), legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, and product improvement), consent (where required), and legal obligation.
04How We Share Information
We share information only as needed:
- Service providers / subprocessors who host and operate the Services on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting, content delivery, and—if applicable—payment processing), under confidentiality obligations;
- Legal & safety disclosures when required by law or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sharkit, our users, or the public;
- Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.
We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.
05Third-Party Services
The Services rely on infrastructure providers including Cloudflare (CDN, DNS, and DDoS protection) and our cloud hosting providers. The desktop application interacts with third-party ticketing websites at your direction; those sites are operated by independent parties and are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
06Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, and thereafter for the period required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. License and activation records may be retained while a license remains valid plus a reasonable period afterward.
07Security
We use technical and organizational measures—including encryption in transit (HTTPS), hashed credentials, access controls, and tamper-resistant client packaging—to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
08International Transfers
We operate globally and may process and store information in countries other than your own. Where required, we apply appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers of personal data.
09Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
10Children
The Services are not directed to, and may not be used by, individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
11Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
