5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember choices, understand Site usage, and support embedded or third-party features. Where required, non-essential cookies are used only after consent. See our Cookie Policy and the Site’s Cookie Preferences control for more information.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business and legal records, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Retention periods vary based on the type of information, our relationship with you, and legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it where reasonably practicable.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, transmission, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; or appeal a privacy decision. You may also opt out of marketing emails at any time. To submit a request, email hello@pelonkey.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. You may use the Cookie Preferences control to manage non-essential cookies.

9. International Visitors

Pelonkey is based in the United States. If you access the Site from another country, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Those locations may have different data-protection laws than your home jurisdiction.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for business and event-planning audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

11. Third-Party Sites and Services

The Site may link to or integrate third-party services, including Calendly and social-media platforms. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies, not this Policy.
