- Information you provide: name, email address, company, phone number and any details you submit through our contact or careers forms.
- Automatically collected: IP address, device type, browser, pages visited and approximate location, gathered via cookies and analytics.
- From third parties: if you connect through a social platform or a payment processor, we may receive limited profile or transaction data.
3. How we use information

4. Legal basis (GDPR)
Where GDPR applies, we rely on (a) your consent for marketing and non-essential cookies, (b) contract performance for service delivery, (c) legitimate interest for analytics and site security, and (d) legal obligation for compliance and accounting.
5. Sharing your information
We do not sell personal information. We share data only with trusted processors that help us run our business (such as email, hosting, analytics and payment providers), and only to the extent necessary. All processors are bound by appropriate data-protection agreements.
6. International transfers
Because our team operates across Europe, MENA and South Asia, your data may be transferred outside your country of residence. Where this happens, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your personal data, and you may withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any right, email privacy@hashtagstech.com.
9. Security
We apply industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No system is perfectly secure; please notify us immediately if you suspect a breach of your account or data.
