10. Business Customers and Their Data
Businesses using ShopFlowIQ remain responsible for their customer relationships and for the information they enter into the platform.
ShopFlowIQ provides technology that helps businesses communicate with and follow up with their own customers.
Processing customer information through ShopFlowIQ does not make ShopFlowIQ the automotive service provider for those customers.
11. No Sale of Customer Repair Leads
Declined Repair Recovery is designed to help businesses reconnect with their own customers regarding previously declined work.
ShopFlowIQ does not claim ownership of a participating shop's customer relationships.
ShopFlowIQ does not provide competing repair shops with access to a participating shop's declined-repair customer list.
12. Data Retention
We retain information as reasonably necessary to:
- Provide the service
- Maintain business and account records
- Resolve disputes
- Enforce agreements
- Support security and fraud prevention
- Meet legal and regulatory requirements
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it is used. Information may remain temporarily in backup systems after deletion from active systems.
13. Account Closure
Businesses may request account closure, subject to applicable legal, contractual, and operational requirements.
Closing an account may result in loss of access to account data, message history, reporting, and related records stored in ShopFlowIQ.
Businesses should export or retain any records they need before requesting account closure.
14. Data Security
ShopFlowIQ uses administrative and technical measures designed to help protect information processed through the platform.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials and for notifying ShopFlowIQ of any suspected unauthorized access.
15. Third-Party Services
ShopFlowIQ integrates with third-party services such as hosting providers, messaging providers, payment processors, and analytics tools.
Information processed by those providers is also subject to their own privacy practices and terms.
ShopFlowIQ is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third-party services outside our reasonable control.
17. Children's Privacy
ShopFlowIQ is a business software service and is not intended for children. We do not knowingly design ShopFlowIQ for use by children under the legal age of consent in their jurisdiction.
18. Legal Requirements
We may disclose information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with applicable law
- Respond to lawful legal process
- Protect ShopFlowIQ
- Protect users, businesses, customers, or the public
- Investigate fraud, misuse, or security incidents
- Enforce contractual rights
19. Business Transfers
If ShopFlowIQ is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and continuing confidentiality expectations where appropriate.
20. Privacy Rights
Depending on where an individual resides, applicable law may provide certain rights relating to personal information.
These rights may include the ability to request access, correction, deletion, or other treatment of personal information.
Some requests may need to be directed to the repair shop or other business that originally collected the information because that business controls the underlying customer relationship.
ShopFlowIQ may assist participating businesses with appropriate requests when required.
Certain information may be retained where permitted or required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting, or contractual purposes.
21. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as ShopFlowIQ develops new products, changes service providers, updates its business practices, or responds to changes in legal requirements.
The updated policy will include a revised "Last Updated" date.
Material changes may also be communicated through the platform, website, email, or other reasonable means.
