3. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data (GDPR)

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Performance of a Contract: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (e.g., providing iOS app development services).
• Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and interests (e.g., improving our services, ensuring network and information security).
• Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
• Consent: In some cases, we may process your data based on your specific consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business and providing our services (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processing). These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your personal data for any purpose other than providing services to Apex Devs.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via a prominent notice on our online platform of any such change in ownership or control of your personal data.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
• Protection of Rights: We may disclose information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

5. Data Security

The security of your personal data is paramount to us. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments.

6. Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
