2. How We Use Data

2.1 Service Operation & Improvement

We use data to:

Deliver core app features

Prevent fraud
Analyze performance

2.2 Aggregated & De-identified Data (Commercial Licensing)

Deejiar may generate, use, and license to third parties:

Aggregated user activity trends
Aggregated mobility or location insights
The Deejiar place database (place names, locations, tags, and attributes — see Terms of Use Section 2.2)
Non-identifiable statistics for commercial and research purposes

Datasets we license externally are genuinely aggregated or de-identified: they do not contain your name, email, or account identity; they do not contain persistent device or user identifiers; and they do not contain raw, user-level location histories. Our data-licensing agreements contractually prohibit recipients from attempting to re-identify individuals.

2.3 User-Generated Content

Uploaded photos and content may be:

Displayed in the app
Used to improve location listings
Included in aggregated or de-identified datasets
Used to train or fine-tune AI and machine-learning models, including by partners under license (see Terms of Use Section 2.1)

We do not sell personal data that identifies you (see Section 4).

3. Legal Basis for Processing (EU/EEA)

For users in the EU/EEA, we process data under:

Contract — to provide the service
Legitimate Interests — analytics, security, improvement
Consent — optional tracking or marketing
Legal Obligations — when required by law

We share data with:

Service providers (hosting, analytics, cloud services)
Data-licensing customers and business partners — who receive only aggregated or de-identified data, or place-database and User Content data licensed under the Terms of Use, and who are contractually prohibited from re-identifying individuals
Legal authorities when required by law

We do not sell personal data that identifies you (such as your name, email, or account identity) to data brokers or advertisers, and we do not sell or license raw, user-level location histories.

5. Data Retention

Active account data is retained while your account remains active.
Aggregated/de-identified derivatives may be stored indefinitely.
User Content and place submissions may be retained after account deletion under the Terms of Use Section 2.1 license, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Deleted accounts (EU): personal data removed within GDPR timelines, subject to the retention described above where lawful.

6. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries outside your residence. EU transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or other legal mechanisms.

7. Your Rights

All Users

Access your data
Correct inaccurate data
Request deletion (excluding aggregated/de-identified data, and User Content or place submissions retained under the Terms of Use Section 2.1–2.2 license where permitted by applicable law)

EU/EEA Users

Additional GDPR rights: portability, restriction, objection, and withdrawal of consent.

California Users (CCPA)

Rights to know, delete, and non-discrimination. We do not sell personal information that identifies you; aggregate consumer information and de-identified data as defined by the CCPA are not personal information.

Requests: hi@deejiar.com

8. Cookies & Tracking

We use:

Essential cookies (required for functionality)
Analytics cookies (with EU consent)

We do not use fingerprinting or cross-site tracking.

9. Children’s Privacy

Deejiar is not intended for children under 16–18 depending on regional law. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

10. Data Security

We use encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. However, no system is completely secure.

11. Breach Notification

EU users will be notified within 72 hours of a breach that may affect their rights. Other regions follow applicable laws.

12. Changes to This Policy

Updates will be communicated through the app or by email. Material changes to how we use, share, or license your data will be announced in advance, with an effective date, before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
