Insights (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our users (“you,” “your”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and your rights under applicable laws. Insights operates in the US and India and complies with US privacy laws (including COPPA and CCPA) and Indian laws (Information Technology Act, 2000 and rules) where applicable. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13; users must be at least 13 years old to use the app.
We collect information you provide when registering and using the app. Mandatory fields include your name, email address, bio, and profile image. You may also provide additional data if required by third-party events (e.g. contact details, profile, preferences). We collect user-generated content such as posts, comments, votes, and any information you submit in learning content or event registration. We also collect non-personal data automatically, such as usage logs, device or browser information, and analytics data to improve our services. All collected data is necessary to operate the service and personalize your experience.
Name, email, profile image, bio/description, and any event-specific details (e.g. phone number, organization) you voluntarily provide.
Comments, ratings, questions, and learning materials you upload or post.
Log data such as pages or features visited, login time, IP address, device type, and cookies or similar tracking technologies if used for analytics.
We use your data to operate and improve the Insights app. Common uses include:
Insights does not sell your personal information to third parties. We share information only as described below:
The Insights app is primarily mobile-based; however, we may use cookies or similar technologies via our website or app analytics. These technologies help us gather usage statistics and remember your preferences. You can control or disable cookies through your device settings, but disabling them may affect app functionality.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. For example, we use encryption, access controls, and firewalls to safeguard data. Nevertheless, no system is perfectly secure. Insights cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access, hacking, or data loss. In India, the IT Act requires reasonable security practices to protect personal data; failure to do so can result in penalties. We strive to comply with these requirements, and in the US we follow FTC and state guidelines for data protection.
We keep your personal data as long as needed to provide the service or comply with legal obligations. If you close your account or request deletion, we will remove your personal data from our active database, except where retention is required by law. Some anonymized or aggregated data may be retained for analysis.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your data. For California residents, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment (CPRA) provide specific rights:
To exercise any of these rights, California residents can contact us (see “Contact Us” below). For users in India and other locations, we will comply with local laws, which currently include the IT Act and any applicable rules (e.g. 2021 Intermediary Rules). In India, unauthorized disclosure of personal information can lead to civil penalties; we take steps to comply with these laws.
Insights is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from users under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it as soon as possible. Parents or guardians who believe their child under 13 has an account should contact us to have the account removed..
The app may contain links to third-party sites or integrate third-party services in the future (e.g., payment processors, social networks). These services have their own privacy practices which are not covered by this policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date and notify you (for example, by email or in-app notification). We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of Insights after changes have been posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
