This Privacy Policy explains how Aboera ("Aboera," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit our website, submit a nomination, contact us, subscribe to updates, or otherwise interact with our services (collectively, the "Service").

We may share information only where reasonably necessary with:
The identity of nominators may be kept confidential and is not intended to be shared with nominated establishments except where required by law or necessary to protect rights or safety.
Aboera audits are conducted anonymously. Personal information about our auditors is not disclosed to establishments or to the public, and information that could identify auditors is not collected from users of the Service. Establishments will not be informed of the identity of auditors before, during, or after an audit, except where required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or legal interests.
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service, remember preferences, analyze usage, and improve performance. You can manage cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may affect functionality. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.
We retain personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including operational, security, legal, accounting, dispute-resolution, or enforcement needs.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, "CCPA"), provides you with additional rights regarding your personal information.
In the preceding 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information described in the CCPA:
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, biometric information, or information about criminal history.
We collect this information directly from you, automatically through your device and browser, and from service providers acting on our behalf. We use it for the purposes described in Section 2 and disclose it only to the categories of recipients described in Section 3.
Aboera does not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA. We do not engage in "cross-context behavioral advertising" and do not transfer personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. Because we do not sell or share your personal information, no "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" opt-out is available or required.
We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted under the CCPA without further notice. Accordingly, no "Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" opt-out applies.
Subject to verification of your identity, you have the right to:
To submit a request, contact us using the details in Section 14. We will respond within the timeframes required by the CCPA. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf; we may require written proof of authorization and verification of your identity before fulfilling the request.
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
The Service is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for safeguarding any credentials or contact information used to interact with the Service.
The Service may include links to third-party websites, platforms, or services that are not operated by Aboera. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of those third parties and recommend reviewing their privacy policies before providing any information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date or last updated date. Material changes will be communicated through the Service where reasonable. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
