4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information as reasonably necessary to provide and protect the service, including with:
- Service providers: hosting, database, analytics, communications, security, customer-support, and other providers processing information on our behalf.
- Testing clients or app developers: information reasonably necessary to administer a testing task and evaluate submitted testing results.
- Payment providers: information needed to process a payout or payment transaction.
- Legal and safety recipients: where disclosure is required by applicable law, legal process, or necessary to protect users, the service, or others.
5. App Permissions and Sensitive Information
The Startex TestLab app may request device permissions when a feature or testing task requires them. The exact permissions can depend on the app version and testing task.
If a testing task requires access to a camera, microphone, files, screen content, location, or another sensitive device feature, the app should explain the purpose before the relevant permission is requested. You can control Android permissions through device settings, although disabling a required permission may prevent a particular task from being completed.
6. Third-Party Services
The service may use third-party infrastructure or service providers for hosting, authentication, analytics, communications, security, or payments. Those providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual obligations. Information you provide directly to a third-party app or website during a testing task is governed by that third party's privacy policy.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Data transmitted between your device and our services should use HTTPS/TLS where supported.
8. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain testing and payout records, prevent fraud and abuse, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations. When information is no longer required, we may delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable retention requirements.
9. Account and Data Deletion
You may request deletion of your Startex TestLab account and associated personal data by contacting Startex TestLab through the support contact below. We will review the request and delete or anonymize eligible information, subject to information we are legally required or legitimately permitted to retain.
10. Children's Privacy
Startex TestLab is not intended for children where applicable law prohibits their participation. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, please contact us.
11. International Processing
Depending on the infrastructure and service providers used, information may be processed or stored in countries other than your country of residence. We take reasonable measures intended to protect information during such processing.
