Our data collection practices encompass both personal information and other types of data when you interact with our website and services.

Transactions: For any purchases of premium Services from Deepfake Dashboard LLC, we may collect payment information, including credit card details.

Content Submissions: When you submit Samples to our Services, we collect all associated information. We generate and share a non-personal identifier for each Sample with our community, aiding in the detection and distribution patterns of synthetic media and deepfake content. If you contribute Samples, you must own the Sample or have the necessary rights, including for any personal information it may contain.

User Rights, Compliance and Data Protection
Deepfake Dashboard LLC operates globally, which means we handle personal information across servers in various countries.

We're committed to regularly checking how we're doing with respect to this Privacy Policy to ensure we're on track.
It's important to understand that privacy laws and regulations, as well as government and law enforcement access to personal information, can vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another. The protections in the United States and other countries might not be the same as in your country. However, when we move your information across borders, we take legally required steps to make sure your data is still looked after. This could include using specific legal agreements like standard contractual clauses that help protect your information.
If there are any issues or complaints, we take them seriously. We'll reach out to the person who raised the concern to see how we can address it. For those living in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, if you feel we haven't resolved a problem related to how we handle your personal information, you have the right to contact your local Data Protection Authority to file a complaint.
U.S. State Law Requirements
Under privacy laws in certain U.S. states, like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), residents have specific rights regarding their personal information.

They grant you the right to access your data and request Deepfake Dashboard LLC to delete it. The VCDPA also allows you to opt out of profiling and targeted advertising.
