Techanisms LLC (“Techanisms,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through compliance with this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use your Personal Information when you visit our website at www.techanisms.com or www.incomemavericks.com or otherwise use the Platform as described further in the Terms of Service and that you may provide in electronic messages to Techanisms.
Please read this Privacy Policy to understand our policies and practices regarding your Personal Information and how we will handle it. We want you to feel secure, so if you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use the Platform. You have full control over your personal information, and by accessing or using the Platform, you agree and consent to this Privacy Policy.
Techanisms retains the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, at its discretion. Your continued use of the Platform after we implement changes is considered acceptance of and consent to those changes. Hence, we encourage you to check the Privacy Policy periodically for updates. We strive to maintain transparency in our policy changes to ensure your confidence in our practices.
This Privacy Policy is subject to and governed by the Techanisms Terms of Service. The Services are part of the Platform and are described further in the Terms of Service.
Income Mavericks is a software program from Techanisms built upon a third-party platform that manages compliance as set out in this policy. This policy is based on their policy.
Techanisms may collect two types of information from you when you visit the Platform: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information (collectively “Information”).
We collect Information:
We use Personal Information that we collect about you or that you provide to us for the following purposes:
LEGAL BASIS FOR OUR USE (APPLICABLE ONLY TO EEA AND UNITED KINGDOM VISITORS): If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Information described above will depend on the Personal Information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
However, we will collect Personal Information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the Personal Information to perform a contract with you, where we have a legal obligation to do so, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests (such as processing for administrative purposes, direct marketing, product development or improvement, preventing fraud or criminal acts and in support of information security) and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
If we ask you to provide Personal Information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the time of collection. We will also tell you whether the requirement for that information is mandatory and explain any consequences if you do not provide the information.
Similarly, suppose we collect and use your Personal Information based on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party). In that case, we will take reasonable steps to provide clear notice and describe our legitimate interests.
Techanisms uses a third-party Data Controller for all Personal Information collected through the Platform in the EEA and the United Kingdom.
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your Personal Information for any specific processing activity, please contact us.
RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION: We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements and other purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We may retain your Personal Information for a more extended period in case of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation concerning our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data: see “YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS” below for further information. In some circumstances, we will anonymise your Personal Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
The Platform is designed to provide reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and organisational security measures to protect your Personal Information against risks such as temporary or permanent loss, destruction, and unauthorised or unlawful access, alteration, use or disclosure. We require our suppliers and vendors to apply similar protections when they access or use Personal Information we share with them.
Users of the Platform must also protect the data, systems, networks, and services they use. No technology, data transmission, or system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that your password to any Techanisms account has been compromised), please immediately notify us by contacting us using the instructions in the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section below.
We work through our affiliates to provide the Platform and other Techanisms Services. We also work with authorised suppliers and business partners. When we share your Personal Information with these companies, we put in place appropriate measures to limit the use of your information only for legal and authorised purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy, as well as appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We also share information with third parties for advertising and marketing, when required by law or to respond to legal processes, to protect our customers, to protect lives, to maintain the security of the Platform, and to protect our legal rights. We may disclose Personal Information that we collect or you provide as described in this Privacy Policy:
In particular, we use third-party companies to communicate regarding goods and services that may interest you by your preferences. You may receive this content via email, phone, or when you access and use the Platform or other Techanisms Services and other websites. Content may be based on information obtained, for example, through prior purchases or transactions, through your device’s physical location, through information about what advertisements and content you have viewed, or through cookies and similar technologies relating to your access to and use of the Platform and other websites. You can choose whether to allow or deny uses and/or sharing of your device’s location by changing your device settings. Still, if you choose to deny such uses or sharing, our partners may not be able to provide you with the applicable Platform Services and content.
We also share non-personally identifiable information, such as anonymised or aggregated information, with suppliers for purposes such as analysis, identifying trends in the areas of our products and helping research and develop new Techanisms Services.
Techanisms does not sell any of your Personal Information for monetary compensation.
We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose Information from children under 16. If we learn that we have collected the Personal Information of a child under 16—or the equivalent minimum age depending on the jurisdiction, such as 13 in the United States per the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act—we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. If you are under 16, do not provide any Information about yourself to Techanisms, including your name, address, telephone number or email address. If you become aware that Information of a child under 16 years of age has been provided, please use one of the methods provided under the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section below.
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites or services linked to or from the Platform, including the information or content contained therein. This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the policies and practices of third parties or other organisations that are not operating on Techanisms’ behalf, including policies and practices related to privacy and security, data collection, processing, use, storage, and disclosure. This includes: (a) any third party operating any site or service to which the Platform links – the inclusion of a link on the Platform does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates; or (b) any app developer, app provider, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider or device manufacturer (such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, etc.) - including any Personal Information you disclose to other organisations through or in connection with the Platform or other Techanisms Services.
Some browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (“DNT”) feature that, when turned on, signals to websites and online services that you do not want to be tracked. At this time, the Platform does not respond to DNT signals.
Techanisms respect your rights in how your Personal Information is used and shared. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access or corrections to your personal data and make choices about the kinds of marketing materials you receive (or choose not to receive marketing from Techanisms at all). See below for more information, depending on your location.
In Europe, you may have additional rights under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, or nFADP. Additional choices and rights may be available depending on which Techanisms Services you use.
We will confirm what Personal Information we hold about you at your request and where the law requires us to do so. You may also have a legal right to obtain a copy of your Personal Information. You can make such a request by writing in one of the ways described in the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section below. We may charge a processing fee for this service where permitted by law and we will require evidence of your identity before fulfilling your request.
Similarly, if we have collected your Personal Information with your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect (1) the lawfulness of any processing we conducted before your withdrawal or (2) the processing of your Personal Information under other legal bases.
If you believe we are using your Personal Information in a way inconsistent with this Privacy Policy or for more information about your rights, contact your local data protection authority. Additionally, under the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF, you may contact JAMS Mediation, Arbitration, and ADR Services (https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-data-privacy-framework) to address complaints and provide appropriate recourse free of charge to you. Under certain conditions, you may invoke binding arbitration.

As such, we may transfer your Personal Information between the United States and our affiliates and business partners in other countries. We may also transfer your personal information to our third-party service providers, who may be located in a different country from yours.
Techanisms transfer information internationally to operate efficiently, improve performance, and create redundancies to protect the information in the event of an outage or other problem. In so doing, we will process your Personal Information in a way that meets the commitments of this Privacy Policy and complies with the law wherever we transfer it.

The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over Techanisms’ compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF). Techanisms may be required to disclose Personal Information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
