We rely on the following legal bases:

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) to operate and understand the Services.

A) Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for core functions such as authentication, session management, and security. For example, Clerk uses session/authentication cookies to keep you signed in.

B) Analytics Cookies (Consent-Based)

We use: Vercel Analytics (performance/usage insights) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) (web analytics; configured with IP anonymization). GA4 is configured to default to deny and only run after you consent through our banner/preferences.

C) Advertising/Conversion Measurement (Consent-Based)

We use Google Ads conversion tracking to measure conversion events related to downloads. This tracking is gated behind cookie consent.

D) Your Choices

We use a custom consent system that appears on first visit and supports: Accept All, Reject All, Manage Preferences. Non-essential cookies and tracking are blocked until you provide permission. We also implement Google Consent Mode v2, and Google signals default to deny before anything loads. Your choice is stored in your browser. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable certain cookies, some features may not work properly.

We share personal information only as needed to operate the Services.

D) Business Transfers

If Behindit Technologies, Inc. is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

• Academic Records: We retain XP and badge history indefinitely to ensure your portfolio remains accessible.

We use TLS/SSL encryption for data in transit and at rest. We implement managerial and physical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access. However, no internet-based service is 100% secure.
