1. Introduction

Welcome to Scannd. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our services, including our various websites, APIs, email notifications, applications, buttons, widgets, ads, and commerce services (the "Services" or “Scannd”), and any information, text, graphics, photos, or other materials uploaded, downloaded or appearing on the Services (collectively referred to as "Content"). Your access to and use of the Services are conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. By accessing or using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. Basic Terms

• Confidentiality of Scan Data: Any scan results or data submitted to Scannd will not be publicly accessible or shared with other users or third parties, except as required by law, or with your explicit consent.
• You may use the Services only if you can form a binding contract with Scannd and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations.
• The Services that Scannd provides are always evolving, and the form and nature of the Services may change from time to time without prior notice to you. Scannd may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice. We also retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time without prior notice to you.

3. Privacy

Any information that you provide to Scannd is subject to our Privacy Policy, which governs our collection and use of your information. You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing, and use by Scannd.

Data Retention: Scannd will retain the most recent scan results associated with your account for up to 30 days to support the display of this information on your dashboard. These scans will only be accessible through your authenticated dashboard, protected by encryption, and will not be shared with third parties. If you wish to delete your scan data before the 30-day retention period, you may contact us at [email protected] to request deletion. Scannd employs industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access or disclosure.
