Sharing Your Information
Varmply does not sell personal information. Information may be shared with:

Data Retention
Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, verify campaigns, prevent fraud, process payments, and enforce agreements.
In practice, retention may vary by category:

Users may request deletion of their data, but deletion may be limited where records must be kept for legal, payment, accounting, fraud-prevention, dispute, or platform integrity reasons.
Data Security
Varmply implements reasonable security measures including:
- Encryption of sensitive data
- Secure cloud infrastructure
- Restricted data access controls
- Active monitoring systems
However, no system can guarantee complete security. We encourage users to maintain strong passwords and report suspicious activity immediately.
International Data Transfers
Because Varmply may operate globally, data may be transferred to countries outside the user's country of residence. Varmply uses appropriate safeguards, service-provider contracts, access controls, and security measures to protect personal data during such transfers.
Your Privacy Rights
Users may have rights to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request deletion of your data
- Restrict or object to processing
- Request portability of your data
Requests may be sent to [email protected].
Varmply will review privacy requests within a reasonable period and may need to verify the requester's identity before acting. Some requests may be limited where Varmply must retain records for campaign verification, disputes, fraud prevention, legal compliance, tax, accounting, or payment-provider requirements.
Children's Privacy
Varmply services are intended for individuals aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.

If a data breach occurs, Varmply will investigate promptly and notify relevant authorities and affected users where required by applicable law.
