How We Share Information

BeGlobal does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Retention

Personal information is retained for as long as needed to operate the service, maintain records of user activity, enforce rules, and meet legal obligations, unless data is deleted earlier. Because this version of BeGlobal uses lightweight hosted storage, some data may also be lost or removed earlier during redeploys, service resets, or infrastructure changes.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain information about the personal information collected about you. You may also choose not to submit optional profile information.

California Privacy Rights

California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, including the right to know what categories of personal information are collected, the purposes for collection, the right to request deletion or correction, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising applicable privacy rights. BeGlobal does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

How to Make a Privacy Request

To request access, correction, or deletion, use the support or contact method made available by the operator of this deployment. Requests may be subject to identity verification and may be denied or limited where an exception applies.

Children's Privacy

BeGlobal is not intended for children under 13, and the service is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
