This Privacy Policy describes in detail how Peeptown collects, receives, accesses, stores, organizes, uses, shares, transfers, retains, secures, discloses, and otherwise processes information relating to individuals and entities who access or use the Services.

Peeptown recognizes the importance of privacy, transparency, accountability, and lawful processing of personal information in connection with digital services and online commerce. We are committed to processing information in a manner consistent with applicable laws, regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations, and legitimate business requirements. Our approach to privacy is designed to support secure platform operations while enabling businesses and customers to interact effectively through the Services.

Peeptown may act in different legal capacities depending on the nature of the Services and the context in which information is processed. In certain circumstances, Peeptown may act as a “data controller,” “business,” or equivalent legal entity responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing information.

The specific role may vary depending on the nature of the interaction, applicable law, contractual arrangements, and platform functionality.

This Privacy Policy is intended to provide a comprehensive and globally applicable overview of Peeptown's privacy practices. However, certain users may also be subject to additional jurisdiction-specific disclosures, rights, notices, or supplemental policies depending on their country, state, or region of residence. Where required by applicable law, such additional disclosures shall supplement and form part of this Privacy Policy.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted as limiting any rights that users may have under applicable law or limiting any obligations imposed on Peeptown by applicable legal or regulatory requirements. In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Policy and applicable law, the applicable law shall govern to the extent required.

Peeptown reserves the right to update, modify, amend, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time in order to reflect changes in applicable laws, regulations, technologies, industry practices, platform operations, business models, security requirements, or service offerings. Users are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to remain informed about our privacy practices and the ways in which information may be processed in connection with the Services.

This Privacy Policy applies to information processed by Peeptown in its capacity as a platform operator, service provider, technology provider, marketplace operator, data controller, business, processor, or service provider, as such terms may be defined under applicable law. Depending on the nature of the interaction, Peeptown may process information on its own behalf, jointly with partners, or on behalf of Business Users utilizing the Services.

Business Users who collect, manage, or process information relating to their own customers through the Services may independently act as separate data controllers, businesses, merchants, or responsible entities under applicable law. Peeptown does not control and is not responsible for the independent privacy practices, notices, security procedures, disclosures, communications, or data handling activities of Business Users, customers, payment providers, advertisers, or third-party services operating outside Peeptown's direct control.

Users acknowledge that when they interact directly with businesses, merchants, professionals, freelancers, advertisers, or third-party providers through or outside the Services, such parties may independently collect, receive, process, or store information under their own policies, terms, notices, and legal obligations. Peeptown encourages users to review the privacy practices of all third parties with whom they interact.

Certain areas, features, integrations, or services provided through Peeptown may be governed by additional terms, notices, disclosures, consent forms, contractual provisions, or supplemental privacy policies. In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Policy and a service-specific notice or agreement, the service-specific notice or agreement may govern to the extent of the conflict and as permitted by applicable law.

This Privacy Policy applies only to information processed in connection with lawful use of the Services. Users are prohibited from using the Services in violation of applicable laws, regulations, intellectual property rights, consumer protection obligations, contractual restrictions, or the rights of others. Peeptown reserves the right to investigate, suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Services where necessary to protect platform integrity, enforce policies, comply with legal obligations, or prevent unlawful, abusive, fraudulent, harmful, or unauthorized activity.

By accessing or using the Services, users represent and warrant that they have the legal authority and capacity required under applicable law to enter into binding agreements and consent to the processing of information as described in this Privacy Policy. If a user accesses the Services on behalf of a business, organization, or other legal entity, such user represents and warrants that they are authorized to bind that entity to this Privacy Policy and related agreements.

Users who do not agree with this Privacy Policy, applicable terms, or related legal notices must discontinue access to and use of the Services immediately.

• enforce agreements and platform policies;

Peeptown may provide features, tools, integrations, and functionalities that enable businesses, professionals, organizations, freelancers, sellers, and customers to facilitate bookings, subscriptions, purchases, invoices, deposits, payouts, recurring billing arrangements, appointment-related charges, and other commercial or transactional activities through the Services.

Peeptown itself is not a bank, money transmitter, payment institution, escrow provider, financial institution, credit provider, or licensed payment processor unless expressly stated otherwise. Financial transactions conducted through the Services are generally processed by independent third-party payment processors, gateways, banking institutions, financial service providers, or related infrastructure providers operating under their own legal obligations, licenses, terms, privacy policies, and regulatory frameworks.

By using payment-related features of the Services, users acknowledge and agree that certain financial, billing, transactional, and identity-related information may be collected, processed, stored, verified, disclosed, or transferred by Peeptown and authorized third-party providers for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

7.2 Third-Party Payment Processors

Peeptown may integrate with or utilize third-party payment providers, gateways, merchant processors, financial institutions, invoicing systems, fraud prevention providers, banking partners, or related service providers to facilitate payment functionality.

Such providers may independently collect, store, verify, analyze, process, transfer, or retain financial and identity-related information in accordance with:

• applicable financial regulations;
• anti-money laundering laws;
• payment industry standards;
• fraud prevention requirements;
• know-your-customer (“KYC”) obligations;
• sanctions screening requirements;
• and contractual obligations.

Users acknowledge that use of third-party payment services may require acceptance of additional terms, policies, disclosures, or agreements imposed by those providers.

Peeptown does not control and is not responsible for:

• the independent privacy or security practices of payment providers;
• payment processing delays or failures;
• banking system interruptions;
• transaction reversals or chargebacks;
• unauthorized actions by financial institutions;
• financial losses resulting from third-party provider conduct;

Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies and terms of all payment providers utilized in connection with the Services.

7.3 Payment Authorization and User Responsibility

By submitting payment information or initiating transactions through the Services, users represent and warrant that:

• the submitted payment information is accurate and current;
• they possess all necessary authority to complete the transaction;
• the transaction does not violate applicable laws or contractual obligations;
• and all information provided is truthful, lawful, and non-fraudulent.

Users are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their financial accounts, payment methods, authentication credentials, devices, and related access information.

Peeptown reserves the right to suspend, refuse, delay, limit, investigate, cancel, or reverse transactions where reasonably necessary to:

Such activities may include:

• monitoring transaction behavior and patterns;
• identifying suspicious or unauthorized activity;
• conducting automated fraud screening;
• detecting scams, abuse, or deceptive conduct;
• performing sanctions and compliance screening;
• analyzing transaction risk indicators;
• reviewing disputes or chargebacks;
• and cooperating with financial institutions, payment providers, regulators, or law enforcement authorities.

Peeptown may utilize automated technologies, machine learning systems, behavioral analysis tools, fraud detection providers, and security systems in connection with such activities.

Users acknowledge that automated systems may occasionally result in temporary restrictions, delays, verification requests, or transaction reviews intended to protect users, businesses, and the Services.

7.5 Subscriptions, Recurring Billing, and Automatic Payments

Where subscription services, recurring payments, installment arrangements, membership plans, or automatic billing features are offered through the Services, users authorize Peeptown and its payment providers to process recurring charges in accordance with the selected plan, subscription terms, pricing structure, renewal terms, or billing cycle disclosed at the time of purchase.

Users are responsible for:

• reviewing applicable pricing and renewal terms;
• maintaining accurate billing information;
• ensuring valid payment methods remain available;
• and managing cancellations or subscription changes through available account settings or support channels.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, subscriptions may automatically renew until canceled in accordance with applicable terms and cancellation procedures.

Peeptown reserves the right to modify pricing, billing structures, subscription features, payment terms, or service offerings upon reasonable notice where permitted by applicable law.

7.6 Refunds, Disputes, and Chargebacks

Refund eligibility, cancellation rights, dispute procedures, and chargeback handling may vary depending on:

• the nature of the transaction;
• applicable laws;
• platform policies;
• business-specific terms;
• payment provider rules;
• and contractual arrangements between users and businesses.

Where transactions occur directly between businesses and customers through the Services, the relevant Business User may independently determine refund policies, cancellation terms, delivery obligations, service standards, or dispute procedures subject to applicable law.

Peeptown may assist in facilitating communication or dispute resolution but generally does not assume liability for:

• products or services offered by Business Users;
• transaction outcomes;
• delivery failures;
• quality disputes;
• customer dissatisfaction;
• or contractual disagreements between users.

Users acknowledge that chargebacks, payment disputes, or reversals initiated through financial institutions or payment providers may result in temporary account restrictions, transaction holds, fees, or investigation procedures.

7.7 Taxation and Financial Compliance

Users are solely responsible for determining, reporting, collecting, remitting, and complying with all taxes, duties, levies, fees, reporting obligations, or regulatory requirements applicable to their activities conducted through the Services.

Depending on applicable law and platform functionality, Peeptown or payment providers may collect, process, verify, or disclose certain tax-related information including:

• taxpayer identification numbers;
• VAT/GST information;
• billing jurisdiction information;
• transaction reporting information;
• or legally required compliance documentation.

Peeptown reserves the right to comply with lawful tax reporting obligations, financial disclosure requirements, regulatory requests, or governmental reporting duties imposed under applicable law.

Nothing in the Services or this Privacy Policy constitutes tax, accounting, financial, legal, or regulatory advice.

7.8 International Transactions

Because Peeptown operates globally, transactions facilitated through the Services may involve international transfers of funds, cross-border processing activities, currency conversions, foreign payment providers, or users located in different jurisdictions.

Users acknowledge that international transactions may be subject to:

• foreign banking regulations;
• exchange rate fluctuations;
• intermediary banking systems;
• cross-border transfer restrictions;
• sanctions laws;
• anti-money laundering obligations;

Even after account closure or deletion requests, certain financial or transactional records may continue to be retained where legally required or reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes.

7.10 Limitation of Financial Responsibility

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Peeptown disclaims responsibility and liability relating to:

• unauthorized financial transactions;
• payment processor failures;
• banking system interruptions;
• fraudulent conduct by users or third parties;
• transaction disputes between users;
• currency fluctuations;
• tax obligations;
• financial losses arising from third-party services;

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Peeptown and its authorized service providers may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, local storage objects, SDKs, analytics technologies, scripts, APIs, device identifiers, and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies and Tracking Technologies”) to collect, receive, store, analyze, process, and transmit information relating to user activity, device characteristics, browsing behavior, platform interactions, preferences, and usage patterns in connection with the Services.

These technologies are used to support the functionality, security, performance, personalization, analytics, advertising, communication, and operational integrity of the Services. By accessing or using the Services, users acknowledge and agree that Peeptown and authorized third parties may utilize such technologies in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.

Cookies are small text files or digital identifiers stored on a user's browser, device, or system that enable websites and digital services to recognize devices, maintain sessions, remember preferences, improve navigation, authenticate users, measure engagement, and support operational functionality. Similar technologies may operate through scripts, embedded code, software development kits, browser storage mechanisms, server logs, or device-level identifiers.

Peeptown may use session-based cookies, which expire when a browser session ends, as well as persistent cookies, which remain stored on a device until deleted, expired, or otherwise removed by the user or browser settings. Certain cookies may be necessary for the technical operation, accessibility, and security of the Services, while others may support analytics, personalization, advertising, fraud prevention, or performance optimization.

Information collected through Cookies and Tracking Technologies may include IP addresses, browser information, device identifiers, operating system information, language settings, geographic information, referral URLs, pages visited, interactions with listings, search behavior, clicks, scrolling activity, timestamps, session duration, advertising interactions, and related technical or behavioral information. Such information may be combined with other information collected through the Services in order to improve operational functionality, user experiences, platform relevance, marketing effectiveness, security systems, and business intelligence activities.

Peeptown may use Cookies and Tracking Technologies for several legitimate business and operational purposes, including maintaining user sessions, authenticating accounts, preventing unauthorized access, remembering preferences, enabling booking functionality, personalizing content, improving navigation, measuring platform performance, analyzing trends, conducting diagnostics, detecting fraud, enforcing platform policies, monitoring service reliability, and developing new products, features, or services.

In certain circumstances, Cookies and Tracking Technologies may also be used for advertising, marketing, retargeting, audience measurement, campaign attribution, and promotional purposes. This may include displaying advertisements relevant to users' interests, measuring engagement with promotional content, limiting repetitive advertising, understanding advertising effectiveness, and improving marketing strategies across digital channels.

Peeptown may work with third-party analytics providers, advertising partners, communication providers, cloud service providers, social media platforms, and infrastructure vendors that independently utilize Cookies and Tracking Technologies in connection with the Services. Such third parties may collect information directly from users' devices or browsers subject to their own privacy policies, contractual obligations, and applicable legal requirements. Peeptown does not control the independent technologies, systems, or privacy practices of third-party providers operating outside its direct control.

Depending on the jurisdiction, applicable law, and type of technology utilized, users may be presented with cookie banners, consent management tools, preference centers, or similar mechanisms allowing users to accept, reject, customize, or manage certain categories of cookies or tracking technologies. Where required under laws such as the GDPR, UK GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA, CPRA, or similar regulations, Peeptown will endeavor to obtain legally required consent prior to processing information through non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Users may also manage or restrict cookies through browser settings, operating system controls, device permissions, privacy tools, or third-party opt-out mechanisms. However, disabling certain cookies or tracking technologies may limit functionality, impair performance, affect accessibility, disrupt user experiences, or prevent certain portions of the Services from operating properly.

Certain browsers and devices may transmit “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signals or similar privacy preferences. Because there is no universally accepted standard governing such signals, Peeptown may not respond to all DNT signals unless required by applicable law.

Peeptown may retain information collected through Cookies and Tracking Technologies for periods reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, enforce agreements, maintain security, conduct analytics, preserve operational records, resolve disputes, and support legitimate business interests. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the technology, legal requirements, operational needs, user settings, and the type of information involved.

Users located in certain jurisdictions, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, and other regions with applicable privacy laws, may have additional rights relating to tracking technologies, behavioral advertising, profiling, consent withdrawal, or data access requests. Information regarding such rights may be provided elsewhere in this Privacy Policy or through jurisdiction-specific notices made available by Peeptown.

Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as guaranteeing that all tracking technologies can be fully blocked, disabled, or controlled in every environment, browser, device, or jurisdiction. Users acknowledge that internet-based services inherently involve certain technical processing activities necessary for functionality, communications, security, interoperability, and digital service delivery.

9. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

Peeptown may share, disclose, transfer, provide access to, or otherwise make information available to third parties where reasonably necessary for the operation, provision, maintenance, improvement, security, administration, legal compliance, or lawful business activities of the Services, and as otherwise permitted or required under applicable law.

The categories of information disclosed, the recipients of such information, and the purposes for disclosure may vary depending on the nature of the Services utilized, the relationship between the parties, user preferences, contractual obligations, operational requirements, applicable laws, regulatory obligations, and legitimate business interests.

Peeptown does not sell personal information in exchange for monetary consideration in the traditional sense unless expressly disclosed otherwise. However, certain data-sharing activities relating to analytics, advertising technologies, marketing services, or platform integrations may constitute “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” “cross-context behavioral advertising,” or similar regulated activities under certain privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), or similar legislation.

Peeptown may disclose information to affiliated entities, subsidiaries, contractors, vendors, infrastructure providers, hosting providers, analytics providers, communication providers, payment processors, identity verification providers, fraud prevention providers, customer support systems, advertising partners, cloud service providers, security providers, legal advisers, auditors, insurers, consultants, and other authorized service providers who perform services on behalf of Peeptown or support the lawful operation of the Services.

Such third parties may access or process information only to the extent reasonably necessary to perform their authorized functions and are generally expected to process information subject to contractual obligations, confidentiality requirements, security safeguards, legal restrictions, and applicable regulatory standards.

Peeptown may also disclose information to Business Users or customers where necessary to facilitate bookings, inquiries, transactions, communications, appointments, customer interactions, dispute resolution, support services, or related platform functionality. For example, when a customer submits an inquiry or booking request to a business through the Services, certain contact information and interaction details may be shared with the relevant Business User in order to facilitate the requested interaction or transaction.

Because Peeptown is a platform designed to facilitate public visibility and discovery, certain information intentionally submitted for public display may be publicly accessible and available to users, visitors, search engines, advertisers, business partners, analytics providers, social media platforms, content indexing systems, and other third parties. Publicly visible information may include business names, listings, profile information, reviews, ratings, descriptions, uploaded media, public responses, and related content intentionally made available through the Services.

Peeptown may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, subpoenas, governmental requests, law enforcement requests, judicial proceedings, regulatory investigations, national security requests, consumer protection obligations, tax reporting requirements, cybersecurity obligations, or other lawful legal processes. Peeptown may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, protect, investigate, defend, or enforce legal rights, contractual rights, intellectual property rights, security interests, or claims involving Peeptown, users, businesses, third parties, or the public.

In certain circumstances, Peeptown may disclose information to prevent, investigate, detect, respond to, or mitigate suspected fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, scams, phishing, spam, harassment, illegal conduct, cybersecurity threats, platform misuse, or activities that may threaten the rights, safety, security, property, operations, systems, or integrity of users, businesses, third parties, or the Services.

Peeptown may share information with advertising, analytics, and marketing partners for purposes relating to audience measurement, campaign performance, user engagement analysis, platform optimization, advertising attribution, personalization, promotional effectiveness, and related business activities. Such activities may involve cookies, tracking technologies, device identifiers, analytics systems, or behavioral information subject to applicable legal requirements and user consent obligations where required by law.

Information may also be disclosed in connection with actual or proposed mergers, acquisitions, investments, financing arrangements, asset sales, corporate reorganizations, insolvency proceedings, bankruptcy transactions, joint ventures, restructuring activities, or transfers involving all or part of Peeptown's operations, assets, ownership interests, or business activities. In such circumstances, information may be shared with counterparties, investors, lenders, auditors, legal advisers, regulators, insurers, consultants, or successor entities subject to confidentiality obligations, contractual safeguards, and applicable legal requirements.

Peeptown may additionally disclose aggregated, statistical, anonymized, pseudonymized, or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify individual users for lawful business purposes including analytics, research, benchmarking, operational reporting, industry insights, advertising measurement, commercial analysis, academic collaboration, or service improvement activities.

Because Peeptown operates globally, information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside a user's country, state, or region of residence, including jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as the user's home jurisdiction. Such transfers may occur through cloud infrastructure, support operations, service providers, business partners, communication systems, analytics technologies, payment providers, or international operational activities. Where required under applicable law, Peeptown will endeavor to implement appropriate safeguards intended to support lawful international transfers, which may include contractual clauses, adequacy mechanisms, internal policies, consent-based transfers, or other legally recognized safeguards.

Users acknowledge and understand that once information has been lawfully disclosed to third parties, publicly published, or shared with businesses or other users through the Services, Peeptown may not control the subsequent handling, retention, storage, disclosure, security, modification, redistribution, or deletion of such information by those parties.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted as limiting Peeptown's ability to disclose information where disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, protect lawful interests, maintain platform integrity, prevent harm, respond to emergencies, cooperate with authorities, preserve evidence, or enforce legal or contractual rights.

10. International Data Transfers and Cross-Border Processing

Peeptown operates as a global digital platform and, accordingly, information collected through the Services may be transferred to, stored in, accessed from, processed in, or otherwise handled in multiple countries and jurisdictions outside the user's country, state, province, or region of residence. Such jurisdictions may include countries where privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, consumer protection, disclosure, or governmental access laws differ from those applicable in the user's home jurisdiction.

By accessing or using the Services, users acknowledge and understand that information may be processed on servers, systems, infrastructure, cloud environments, databases, support systems, communication platforms, or networks located in jurisdictions outside their place of residence, including jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of statutory privacy protection as the jurisdiction in which the information was originally collected.

Cross-border transfers and international processing activities may occur for purposes including operation of the Services, customer support, hosting, analytics, fraud prevention, communications, payment processing, infrastructure management, technical support, security monitoring, disaster recovery, compliance operations, platform administration, business continuity, and lawful commercial activities associated with the Services.

Peeptown may engage international service providers, affiliates, infrastructure vendors, cloud computing providers, analytics providers, payment processors, communication providers, security vendors, technical contractors, professional advisers, or operational partners located in various jurisdictions around the world. Such third parties may process information on behalf of Peeptown subject to contractual obligations, confidentiality requirements, security safeguards, and applicable legal standards.

Where required by applicable law, Peeptown will endeavor to implement appropriate legal, technical, organizational, and contractual safeguards intended to support lawful international transfers of personal information. Such safeguards may include, where applicable, standard contractual clauses approved by relevant regulatory authorities, adequacy decisions, data processing agreements, intra-group transfer mechanisms, certification frameworks, consent-based transfer mechanisms, or other legally recognized safeguards permitted under applicable law.

For users located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), or other jurisdictions with transfer restrictions, Peeptown may rely upon one or more lawful transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable law in order to transfer personal data internationally. Such mechanisms may include contractual safeguards, user consent, necessity for contractual performance, legitimate interests, public interest exceptions, legal claims, or other lawful bases recognized under the GDPR, UK GDPR, or related regulations.

Users acknowledge that governmental authorities, regulators, courts, law enforcement agencies, national security agencies, or public authorities in certain jurisdictions may possess legal authority to access, review, compel disclosure of, or otherwise process information stored or processed within those jurisdictions in accordance with applicable local laws. Peeptown cannot guarantee that legal protections available in every jurisdiction will be equivalent to those available under the laws of the user's country of residence.

Peeptown implements reasonable administrative, technical, organizational, and contractual measures intended to protect information during international transfers and cross-border processing activities. However, no method of international transmission, internet-based storage, electronic processing, or cross-border communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure, uninterrupted, or immune from unauthorized access, governmental action, cyberattacks, technical failures, or jurisdictional conflicts.

Users who do not wish for their information to be transferred, processed, or stored outside their jurisdiction should discontinue use of the Services where such transfers are not acceptable under their personal preferences or legal requirements. However, users acknowledge that international processing and infrastructure operations are integral to the functionality and global operation of the Services and that certain Services may not be available without such transfers.

In circumstances where Peeptown acts as a processor or service provider on behalf of Business Users, the relevant Business User may independently determine certain aspects of international data processing activities relating to information processed through the Services. In such cases, users may need to contact the relevant Business User directly regarding questions relating to international transfers or processing activities conducted on behalf of that Business User.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted as a representation or guarantee that all international transfers will be recognized as adequate or legally sufficient under every jurisdiction's laws at all times. Peeptown reserves the right to modify transfer mechanisms, operational structures, infrastructure arrangements, or compliance practices as reasonably necessary to respond to evolving legal, regulatory, operational, security, or business requirements.

11. Data Retention and Deletion

Peeptown retains information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide and operate the Services, comply with applicable laws and regulatory obligations, maintain legitimate business operations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect platform integrity, preserve evidence, prevent fraud, maintain security, and safeguard the rights, interests, property, and safety of users, businesses, third parties, and the Services.

The duration for which information is retained may vary depending on the nature of the information involved, the purposes for which it was collected, the type of Services utilized, operational requirements, contractual obligations, applicable legal requirements, user preferences, dispute status, technical limitations, security considerations, and the jurisdiction in which processing occurs.

Peeptown may retain account information, profile information, business listing information, transactional records, payment-related information, communication records, analytics data, logs, technical records, device information, support requests, moderation records, and other operational data for periods reasonably necessary to support lawful and legitimate business purposes. Such purposes may include maintaining platform continuity, facilitating ongoing customer relationships, preserving audit records, complying with tax and accounting obligations, addressing legal claims, detecting unauthorized activity, enforcing platform policies, improving services, and maintaining cybersecurity protections.

Certain information may continue to be retained even after a user closes an account, removes content, requests deletion, or otherwise ceases using the Services. This may occur where retention is reasonably necessary or legally required for purposes including legal compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, financial reporting, accounting obligations, contractual enforcement, regulatory investigations, litigation defense, law enforcement cooperation, platform security, operational backups, archival obligations, preservation of evidence, or protection of the rights and safety of Peeptown, users, businesses, third parties, or the public.

Users acknowledge that deletion of information from active systems may not occur immediately and may require reasonable time for processing, synchronization, backup rotation, archival management, system maintenance, or technical propagation across distributed systems and infrastructure environments. Residual copies of information may temporarily remain within backup systems, disaster recovery environments, logs, archives, security systems, or technical records until such systems are updated, overwritten, deleted, or retired in accordance with operational procedures and retention schedules.

Information intentionally published through public-facing areas of the Services, including business listings, reviews, ratings, comments, uploaded media, public responses, and profile content, may remain accessible to search engines, third-party platforms, internet archives, external services, or other users even after removal from the Services. Peeptown does not control third-party indexing systems, independent archives, search engine caches, screenshots, user reproductions, or external storage systems and cannot guarantee complete deletion of publicly disclosed information from external sources outside its direct control.

Where Peeptown acts as a processor or service provider on behalf of Business Users, the relevant Business User may independently determine applicable retention periods, deletion schedules, customer data practices, or legal obligations relating to information processed through the Services. In such circumstances, Peeptown may retain information in accordance with contractual obligations, instructions from the relevant Business User, operational requirements, or applicable law.

Peeptown may also retain aggregated, anonymized, de-identified, pseudonymized, statistical, or non-identifiable information indefinitely for lawful business purposes including analytics, research, service improvement, security monitoring, benchmarking, operational reporting, industry analysis, and commercial intelligence activities, provided such information does not reasonably identify individual users where required under applicable law.

Users located in certain jurisdictions may possess legal rights relating to deletion, erasure, restriction, anonymization, or retention of personal information under applicable privacy and data protection laws, including the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, and similar legislation. Peeptown will endeavor to honor valid requests in accordance with applicable legal obligations, subject to lawful exceptions, exemptions, verification procedures, technical feasibility limitations, operational requirements, and legitimate business interests.

Peeptown reserves the right to retain information for longer periods where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, preserve legal rights, respond to governmental requests, cooperate with regulatory authorities, investigate violations, protect against liability, support litigation or dispute resolution, or maintain the security, integrity, continuity, and lawful operation of the Services.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted as a guarantee that all information will be deleted immediately upon request, account closure, or cessation of Services, nor shall it limit Peeptown's ability to retain information where retention is authorized or required under applicable law, contractual obligations, legitimate interests, or operational necessity.

12. User Rights, Choices, and Privacy Controls

Depending on the jurisdiction in which a user resides and the manner in which information is processed, users may possess certain statutory, regulatory, contractual, or consumer privacy rights relating to their personal information under applicable data protection, privacy, consumer protection, electronic communications, or cybersecurity laws, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), Canada's PIPEDA, Australia's Privacy Act, India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, and similar laws in other jurisdictions.

Peeptown is committed to respecting applicable privacy rights and providing users with reasonable access to information, controls, and mechanisms intended to support transparency, accountability, and lawful processing practices. However, the availability, scope, and applicability of specific rights may vary depending on the user's jurisdiction, the nature of the relationship with Peeptown, the legal basis for processing, the type of information involved, technical feasibility, operational requirements, and applicable legal exemptions or limitations.

Subject to applicable law and verification requirements, users may have the right to request access to personal information processed by Peeptown and obtain information regarding the categories of data collected, the purposes of processing, the sources of information, categories of recipients, retention practices, and related processing activities. Users may also have the right to request correction, rectification, updating, or modification of inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or misleading information maintained by Peeptown.

In certain jurisdictions and circumstances, users may additionally possess the right to request deletion, erasure, anonymization, or restriction of processing relating to personal information where such processing is no longer necessary, consent has been withdrawn, processing is unlawful, retention periods have expired, or applicable law otherwise grants such rights. However, Peeptown may retain certain information where retention is reasonably necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, contractual enforcement, operational continuity, public interest purposes, exercise or defense of legal claims, or other lawful and legitimate purposes permitted under applicable law.

Where processing is based upon user consent, users may have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to withdrawal and may not affect processing activities based upon other lawful grounds. Users acknowledge that withdrawal of consent or restriction of processing may impact the availability, functionality, accessibility, or continued operation of certain portions of the Services.

Users located in jurisdictions recognizing portability rights may have the right to request a copy of certain personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, request transmission of such information to another provider or controller.

Users may also possess the right to object to certain processing activities, including processing based upon legitimate interests, profiling activities, direct marketing activities, targeted advertising, behavioral advertising, automated decision-making, or other processing activities recognized under applicable law. Where legally required, Peeptown will honor valid opt-out requests relating to marketing communications, targeted advertising, cookie-based tracking, or profiling activities.

Residents of certain United States jurisdictions, including California and other states with applicable consumer privacy laws, may possess rights relating to disclosure of categories of information collected, sources of information, business purposes for processing, categories of third parties receiving information, correction rights, deletion rights, limitations on sensitive information processing, and rights to opt out of certain data-sharing or targeted advertising activities. Peeptown will not unlawfully discriminate against users for exercising legally protected privacy rights, subject to applicable legal exceptions and operational limitations.

Users located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or similar jurisdictions may also possess the right to lodge complaints with a competent supervisory authority or data protection regulator regarding processing activities believed to violate applicable law. Peeptown encourages users to first contact Peeptown directly to allow an opportunity to address concerns informally and efficiently where possible.

Users may exercise certain rights through account settings, cookie preference tools, unsubscribe mechanisms, browser controls, communication preferences, support channels, or other controls made available through the Services. Certain requests may require verification of identity, authentication of account ownership, confirmation of authority, or additional information reasonably necessary to protect users, prevent fraud, maintain security, and ensure lawful processing of requests.

Peeptown reserves the right to deny, limit, defer, or condition requests where permitted under applicable law, including where requests are repetitive, excessive, manifestly unfounded, technically infeasible, would infringe upon the rights of others, compromise security, conflict with legal obligations, interfere with platform operations, or where retention or processing remains necessary for legitimate legal or business purposes.

In circumstances where Peeptown processes information on behalf of Business Users acting as independent controllers, businesses, merchants, or service providers, users may need to contact the relevant Business User directly regarding requests relating to information controlled independently by that Business User.

Users are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of information submitted through the Services and for promptly updating account details, contact information, business information, payment information, and communication preferences where applicable.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted as limiting any rights users may possess under applicable law or requiring Peeptown to provide rights or mechanisms beyond those required under applicable legal obligations. Peeptown reserves the right to modify, update, or implement additional verification procedures, privacy controls, or compliance mechanisms as reasonably necessary to comply with evolving legal, operational, technical, or regulatory requirements.

13. Security, Integrity, and Protection of Information

Peeptown implements and maintains reasonable administrative, technical, organizational, contractual, and physical safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, misuse, alteration, destruction, loss, corruption, theft, interference, or other unlawful or unauthorized processing activities. Such safeguards are designed with consideration for the nature of the Services, the sensitivity of the information involved, operational requirements, industry practices, applicable legal obligations, technological capabilities, and evolving cybersecurity risks.

Security measures implemented by Peeptown may include, where appropriate, encryption technologies, access controls, authentication mechanisms, network monitoring systems, logging systems, infrastructure protections, vulnerability assessments, backup systems, disaster recovery procedures, security testing, risk management practices, employee access restrictions, contractual safeguards with service providers, fraud detection technologies, and internal policies relating to information governance, operational security, and incident response.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, users acknowledge and understand that no website, platform, application, communication system, network, database, cloud environment, transmission method, storage technology, or internet-connected infrastructure can be guaranteed to be completely secure, uninterrupted, error-free, or immune from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, technical failures, malware, ransomware, phishing schemes, social engineering attacks, distributed denial-of-service attacks, insider threats, data interception, infrastructure compromise, governmental action, force majeure events, or other security-related incidents.

Accordingly, Peeptown does not guarantee absolute security, uninterrupted availability, permanent confidentiality, or complete immunity from vulnerabilities, breaches, intrusions, or unauthorized activities affecting the Services or associated systems. Users access and use the Services at their own discretion and risk.

Users are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality, security, and integrity of their account credentials, passwords, authentication methods, devices, communication systems, payment methods, recovery information, and related access mechanisms associated with the Services. Users are expected to utilize strong passwords, maintain appropriate device security, avoid unauthorized credential sharing, monitor account activity, and promptly notify Peeptown of any suspected unauthorized access, security incident, account compromise, suspicious behavior, or misuse relating to the Services.

Peeptown reserves the right to suspend, restrict, terminate, investigate, monitor, review, or otherwise take appropriate action relating to accounts, devices, communications, transactions, or activities reasonably believed to involve unauthorized access, fraud, abuse, security risks, policy violations, illegal conduct, or threats to the integrity, security, reliability, or lawful operation of the Services.

Information transmitted through the internet, wireless networks, communication systems, email systems, public networks, mobile carriers, or third-party technologies may be subject to interception, monitoring, unauthorized access, delays, corruption, or transmission failures. Users acknowledge that Peeptown cannot control the security of networks, devices, systems, or infrastructure operated by users, internet service providers, telecommunications providers, payment processors, hosting providers, or other third parties outside Peeptown's direct control.

Peeptown may utilize third-party infrastructure providers, cloud computing services, communication providers, analytics vendors, payment processors, cybersecurity providers, hosting environments, and operational service providers in connection with the Services. While Peeptown endeavors to work with providers that maintain reasonable security practices, Peeptown does not control and cannot guarantee the independent security practices, systems, or operational conduct of third-party providers operating outside its direct supervision.

In the event Peeptown becomes aware of a confirmed security incident, unauthorized disclosure, or data breach affecting personal information, Peeptown may take actions deemed reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances, including investigation, mitigation, containment, remediation, system protections, notifications, legal compliance measures, cooperation with authorities, and communications with affected parties where required under applicable law.

Certain information submitted through public-facing areas of the Services, including business listings, public profiles, reviews, comments, uploaded content, public responses, or customer interactions, may intentionally become publicly accessible and therefore may not be protected by confidentiality or privacy controls applicable to non-public information. Users are responsible for carefully evaluating the information they choose to publish or disclose publicly through the Services.

Peeptown may preserve logs, records, communications, metadata, security information, technical diagnostics, transactional records, and related information for purposes relating to cybersecurity, fraud prevention, investigations, legal compliance, operational continuity, evidence preservation, dispute resolution, and enforcement of legal or contractual rights.

Users located in certain jurisdictions may possess statutory rights relating to security incidents, unauthorized access, breach notifications, or information protection under applicable privacy, cybersecurity, or consumer protection laws. Peeptown will endeavor to comply with applicable legal obligations relating to security measures, incident response, and breach notification requirements where such obligations apply.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted as a representation, warranty, or guarantee that the Services, systems, infrastructure, communications, or information will always remain secure, confidential, available, or free from vulnerabilities, disruptions, or unauthorized access. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Peeptown disclaims liability for damages, losses, claims, or harms arising from security incidents, unauthorized access, cyberattacks, system failures, transmission vulnerabilities, user negligence, third-party conduct, or events beyond Peeptown's reasonable control.

14. Children's Privacy and Age Restrictions

The Services are intended for use by businesses, professionals, organizations, independent service providers, consumers, and individuals who are legally capable of entering into binding agreements under applicable law. Peeptown does not knowingly direct the Services to children or intentionally collect personal information from individuals who are below the age required to lawfully consent to data processing or enter into legally binding agreements under the laws applicable in their jurisdiction.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 13 in the United States or under any higher minimum age required under applicable laws in other jurisdictions, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other regions where enhanced protections for minors apply. In jurisdictions where parental or guardian consent is required for processing personal information of minors, Peeptown may require such consent prior to permitting access to certain Services or processing related information.

Users who are under the applicable minimum legal age should not create accounts, submit information, conduct transactions, publish content, make bookings, use communication features, or otherwise interact with the Services without appropriate authorization from a parent, guardian, or legally authorized representative where permitted under applicable law.

Peeptown does not knowingly solicit, request, or encourage children to publicly disclose personal information through business listings, profiles, reviews, communications, or public-facing portions of the Services. If Peeptown becomes aware that personal information relating to a child has been collected, processed, or disclosed in violation of applicable law, Peeptown reserves the right to take actions deemed reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances, including restricting access, removing content, deleting information, suspending accounts, requesting parental verification, or implementing additional protective measures.

Parents, guardians, or legally authorized representatives who believe that a child may have provided personal information to Peeptown in violation of applicable law may contact Peeptown to request review, deletion, restriction, or other appropriate action relating to such information, subject to applicable verification procedures and legal requirements.

Business Users and other users of the Services are independently responsible for ensuring that their own activities, listings, communications, products, services, advertising practices, data collection activities, and interactions with minors comply with all applicable child protection laws, youth privacy regulations, advertising standards, educational regulations, consumer protection laws, and age-related legal obligations applicable within their jurisdictions.

Certain content, services, transactions, communications, business activities, or third-party integrations available through the Services may not be suitable for minors or may be subject to additional legal restrictions depending on the jurisdiction involved. Peeptown does not guarantee that all content, listings, businesses, products, or services available through the platform are appropriate for all age groups.

In jurisdictions subject to laws such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), the GDPR, the UK GDPR, the Digital Services Act, or similar child protection and youth privacy regulations, Peeptown will endeavor to comply with applicable legal obligations concerning children's privacy, age verification, parental consent mechanisms, data minimization requirements, and youth protection standards where such obligations apply.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted as an admission that Peeptown knowingly processes children's information beyond what is legally permitted, nor shall it create any obligation for Peeptown to independently monitor, verify, or guarantee the age, identity, parental authority, or legal capacity of users beyond reasonable and commercially practicable measures.

15. Third-Party Services, Integrations, and External Platforms

The Services may contain links to, integrate with, interoperate with, embed, connect to, or otherwise facilitate access to third-party websites, applications, platforms, software, payment processors, social media services, communication providers, analytics tools, advertising networks, APIs, plugins, booking systems, cloud infrastructure providers, mapping services, authentication systems, delivery providers, or other external technologies and services operated independently by third parties.

Such third-party services may be made available for convenience, operational functionality, integrations, interoperability, communication, authentication, analytics, payments, advertising, infrastructure support, marketing, customer engagement, or enhancement of the Services. However, Peeptown does not own, operate, manage, or control third-party services except where expressly stated otherwise.

When users access, interact with, authorize, connect to, or otherwise engage with third-party services through or in connection with the Services, information may be collected, processed, disclosed, transferred, stored, or otherwise handled directly by the relevant third party in accordance with that party's own privacy policies, terms of service, contractual obligations, legal requirements, and operational practices. Such third parties may independently collect information including account details, device information, transaction data, usage activity, communications, identifiers, cookies, location information, and other data relating to user interactions.

Peeptown does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices, security measures, content, accuracy, availability, legality, reliability, operational conduct, data handling activities, policies, or business practices of third-party services or external platforms. The inclusion of integrations, links, references, plugins, APIs, or third-party functionality within the Services does not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, certification, partnership representation, or warranty regarding such third parties unless expressly stated otherwise.

Users acknowledge that third-party services may operate under different privacy standards, security frameworks, regulatory obligations, retention practices, international transfer mechanisms, marketing practices, or legal jurisdictions than Peeptown. Users are encouraged to independently review the applicable privacy policies, terms, notices, and legal documentation of all third-party services accessed through or connected to the Services before engaging with such services or providing information.

Peeptown may utilize third-party providers for functions including hosting, cloud infrastructure, analytics, communications, payment processing, advertising, customer support, security monitoring, authentication, content delivery, business tools, operational infrastructure, marketing, or platform enhancement. In such circumstances, certain information may be shared with authorized providers solely to the extent reasonably necessary for them to perform services on behalf of Peeptown subject to applicable contractual safeguards, confidentiality obligations, and legal requirements.

Users may choose to connect external accounts, integrations, APIs, or third-party platforms to the Services. By enabling such integrations, users authorize Peeptown and the relevant third-party provider to exchange information reasonably necessary to facilitate the requested integration, synchronization, interoperability, or functionality. Users remain solely responsible for reviewing and managing permissions granted to third-party integrations and for disconnecting integrations no longer desired.

Third-party platforms, including social media services, search engines, advertising networks, analytics providers, communication systems, and payment processors, may independently use cookies, SDKs, tracking technologies, device identifiers, scripts, or automated systems in connection with the Services. Such technologies may collect information regarding browsing behavior, interactions, advertising engagement, device activity, or related usage data subject to the third party's own practices and applicable legal requirements.

The Services may also contain links to external websites, business websites, user-generated content, advertisements, public listings, reviews, or resources not operated by Peeptown. Users who navigate to external websites or interact with third-party resources do so at their own discretion and risk. Peeptown is not responsible for the availability, content, legality, security, practices, products, services, or activities of external websites or third-party resources.

Business Users utilizing the Services may independently integrate or connect third-party tools, payment systems, scheduling systems, communication platforms, CRMs, delivery providers, analytics systems, or related technologies into their business operations. Peeptown does not control and assumes no responsibility for the independent actions, processing activities, compliance obligations, security practices, or customer interactions of such third-party integrations utilized by Business Users.

In certain circumstances, third-party providers may be located in jurisdictions outside the user's country of residence and may process information internationally. Peeptown does not guarantee that third-party providers will maintain equivalent privacy protections, cybersecurity standards, regulatory compliance practices, or international transfer safeguards as those applicable under the user's local laws.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted as creating liability for Peeptown relating to the conduct, omissions, systems, products, services, content, policies, security incidents, legal compliance failures, or operational practices of independent third-party services or external platforms. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Peeptown disclaims responsibility for damages, losses, claims, liabilities, disputes, interruptions, or harms arising from or relating to third-party services, integrations, technologies, advertisements, or external platforms accessed through or associated with the Services.

16. Jurisdiction-Specific Privacy Disclosures

Peeptown recognizes that privacy, consumer protection, electronic communications, and data protection laws vary across jurisdictions. Accordingly, users located in certain countries, states, or regions may possess additional rights, protections, disclosures, or legal remedies relating to the collection, processing, disclosure, retention, transfer, or use of personal information under applicable local laws.

This section supplements the remainder of this Privacy Policy and applies solely to the extent required by applicable law. In the event of any conflict between this section and other provisions of this Privacy Policy, the provisions most specifically applicable to the relevant jurisdiction shall govern to the extent required by law.

16.1 European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland

For users located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Peeptown endeavors to process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, the ePrivacy Directive, and related legislation.

Depending on applicable law and the nature of processing activities, Peeptown may rely upon one or more legal bases for processing personal data, including contractual necessity, legitimate interests, compliance with legal obligations, consent, protection of vital interests, public interest purposes, or other lawful bases recognized under applicable law.

Users located within these jurisdictions may possess rights including the right to request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion or erasure, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing activities, portability of certain data, withdrawal of consent, and the right not to be subject to certain forms of automated decision-making where applicable under law.

Users may also possess the right to lodge complaints with a competent supervisory authority or data protection regulator if they believe processing activities violate applicable law. However, Peeptown encourages users to first contact Peeptown directly to allow an opportunity to address concerns informally where appropriate.

Where required under applicable law, Peeptown endeavors to implement safeguards relating to international data transfers, including contractual protections, lawful transfer mechanisms, or other legally recognized safeguards.

16.2 California Privacy Rights

For residents of California, Peeptown may be subject to certain provisions of the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and related regulations.

• categories of third parties receiving personal information;
• correction of inaccurate personal information;
• deletion of certain personal information;
• limitation of certain sensitive information processing;
• and opt-out rights relating to certain forms of data sharing or targeted advertising activities.

Peeptown does not unlawfully discriminate against users for exercising rights protected under applicable California privacy laws.

Certain disclosures of information involving advertising technologies, analytics providers, identifiers, cookies, or behavioral advertising practices may constitute “sharing” or “cross-context behavioral advertising” under California law. Users may exercise applicable opt-out rights through available privacy controls, cookie management tools, browser settings, or other mechanisms provided through the Services where required by law.

16.3 Other United States State Privacy Laws

Users residing in states including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, or other jurisdictions with applicable consumer privacy legislation may possess additional statutory rights relating to access, deletion, correction, portability, targeted advertising opt-outs, profiling objections, appeals processes, or related privacy protections under applicable state law.

Peeptown will endeavor to comply with applicable state privacy laws to the extent such laws apply to Peeptown's operations, data processing activities, and legal obligations.

Because state privacy laws continue to evolve, Peeptown reserves the right to implement additional disclosures, rights mechanisms, verification procedures, appeals processes, or operational adjustments as reasonably necessary to comply with changing legal requirements.

16.4 Canada

For users located in Canada, Peeptown endeavors to process personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and substantially similar provincial legislation where applicable.

Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of the Services complies with all local laws, regulations, restrictions, and legal obligations applicable within their jurisdiction.

Because privacy laws differ significantly across jurisdictions and continue to evolve, Peeptown reserves the right to supplement, revise, expand, or modify jurisdiction-specific disclosures, rights mechanisms, consent frameworks, operational practices, or compliance procedures as reasonably necessary to comply with changing legal, regulatory, operational, or business requirements.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Peeptown reserves the right to modify, update, amend, supplement, replace, or otherwise revise this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to applicable legal requirements. Such modifications may occur for reasons including changes to the Services, operational practices, business models, legal obligations, regulatory developments, industry standards, technological advancements, security requirements, commercial activities, or evolving privacy and data protection practices.

Updated versions of this Privacy Policy may be published through the Services, posted on applicable websites or applications, or otherwise made available through legally appropriate means. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, revised versions shall become effective upon publication or upon the effective date specified within the updated Privacy Policy.

Users are responsible for periodically reviewing this Privacy Policy to remain informed regarding Peeptown's information handling practices, privacy disclosures, legal obligations, operational procedures, and applicable rights. Continued access to or use of the Services following publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes acknowledgment of the revised Privacy Policy and acceptance of its terms to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Where required under applicable law, Peeptown may provide additional notice regarding material changes through email communications, account notifications, consent requests, platform alerts, website banners, updated disclosures, or other legally recognized notification mechanisms. The method, timing, and scope of such notices may vary depending on the nature of the changes, applicable legal obligations, the type of Services utilized, and the jurisdiction involved.

Material modifications may include, without limitation, changes relating to categories of information collected, methods of processing, data-sharing practices, international transfer mechanisms, legal bases for processing, user rights, retention practices, security measures, marketing activities, use of cookies or tracking technologies, regulatory compliance procedures, or operational relationships with third-party providers.

In certain circumstances, applicable law may require renewed consent, updated permissions, revised contractual terms, or additional user acknowledgments before specific processing activities may continue. Where legally required, Peeptown will endeavor to obtain such consent or provide legally required options prior to implementing certain material changes affecting users' rights or legally protected interests.

Historical versions of this Privacy Policy may not always remain available publicly, and Peeptown reserves the right to archive, replace, remove, or discontinue prior versions in accordance with operational, legal, or business requirements.

Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as limiting Peeptown's ability to modify operational practices, infrastructure arrangements, technologies, providers, compliance procedures, platform features, business relationships, or processing activities where such modifications are reasonably necessary for the lawful operation, protection, improvement, continuity, or administration of the Services.

If a user does not agree with any modification, amendment, or update to this Privacy Policy, the user should discontinue access to and use of the Services and may request account closure or exercise applicable legal rights in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. However, users acknowledge that certain information may continue to be retained and processed following discontinuation of Services where permitted or required under applicable law.

18. Contact Information and Privacy Requests

Users who have questions, concerns, complaints, requests, or inquiries relating to this Privacy Policy, the Services, information handling practices, privacy rights, data protection matters, communications, security concerns, or applicable legal obligations may contact Peeptown using the contact information provided below.

Peeptown endeavors to review and respond to legitimate privacy-related inquiries within reasonable timeframes and in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Response times may vary depending on the nature of the request, the complexity of the matter involved, verification requirements, applicable laws, operational considerations, technical limitations, regulatory obligations, and the jurisdiction from which the request originates.

Privacy requests may include requests relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, consent withdrawal, communication preferences, cookie preferences, complaint submissions, security concerns, account inquiries, or other rights recognized under applicable law. In order to protect users, businesses, third parties, and the integrity of the Services, Peeptown may require identity verification, authentication procedures, proof of authority, or additional information reasonably necessary before processing certain requests.

Peeptown reserves the right to deny, limit, defer, or condition requests where permitted under applicable law, including where requests are repetitive, excessive, technically infeasible, unlawful, compromise the rights of others, interfere with platform security, conflict with legal obligations, involve disproportionate effort, or where continued retention or processing remains necessary for legitimate legal or operational purposes.

Where Peeptown processes information on behalf of Business Users acting as independent data controllers, merchants, service providers, or businesses, users may be required to direct certain requests relating to customer records, booking information, transaction records, communications, or business-managed data directly to the relevant Business User responsible for such processing activities.

Users are responsible for ensuring that contact information submitted to Peeptown remains accurate and current so that important notices, legal disclosures, security communications, operational notifications, and privacy-related responses may be properly delivered.

For privacy-related inquiries or legal notices, users may contact Peeptown at:

If Peeptown designates a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”), EU Representative, UK Representative, grievance officer, or similar privacy contact pursuant to applicable law, relevant contact information may be published separately through the Services or updated within this Privacy Policy where legally required.

Users located in jurisdictions providing rights to file complaints with supervisory authorities, consumer protection agencies, data protection regulators, or similar governmental bodies may also contact the appropriate authority within their jurisdiction if they believe their rights under applicable privacy or data protection laws have been violated.

Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as limiting any legal rights, remedies, defenses, exemptions, privileges, or obligations available to Peeptown or users under applicable law, contractual agreements, regulatory frameworks, or judicial processes.
