# InNeed Privacy Policy

**Effective date:** July 1, 2026
**Last updated:** July 26, 2026
**Version:** 1.0.1

This Privacy Policy explains how Talent Express, Inc., a New York corporation
(**"InNeed," "we," "us,"** or **"our"**), collects, uses, and shares
information in connection with the InNeed mobile application, the website at
https://inneed.io, and related services (together, the **"Service"**). It is part of
and incorporated into our [Terms of Service](https://inneed.io/legal/terms).

By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree,
please do not use the Service.

## 1. Our approach to your privacy

InNeed is built around a simple idea: your information serves you and the
people you choose to share it with — not us, and not advertisers. So, as
commitments we hold ourselves to:

- **We do not sell your personal information**, and we do not "share" it for
  cross-context behavioral advertising.
- **We do not show you third-party ads**, and we do not build advertising
  profiles about you.
- **We do not create, sell, or share credit scores, "trust scores," or any
  portable reputation** about you, and we do not report your activity to credit
  bureaus or consumer-reporting agencies.
- **We collect the minimum** we need to make the Service work and keep it secure.
- **We never see or handle your money.** Money you send or receive happens
  outside the Service, so we do not collect your payment-card or bank-account
  numbers.

The rest of this policy describes the details.

## 2. Information we collect

**2.1 Information you provide.**

- **Account information** — such as your name and email address, created when you
  sign in or register.
- **Your circle** — the contacts you choose to add, and the information you record
  about them (such as a name or contact detail) so you can track arrangements with
  them. See Section 3 about information relating to other people.
- **Arrangement information** — the agreements you record (such as a loan), their
  terms and amounts, and the activity you log within them (cash movements you
  record, acknowledgments, notes, reactions, and any references or endorsements
  you write).
- **Communications** — messages you send us, such as support requests, and your
  responses to surveys or prompts.

**2.2 Information collected automatically.**

- **Device and technical information** — such as device type, operating-system
  version, app version, language, and similar settings.
- **Usage and diagnostic information** — such as features used, interactions,
  crash reports, and performance data, used to operate and improve the Service.
- **Log information** — such as IP address and timestamps, recorded for security
  and reliability.
- **Push tokens** — an identifier used to deliver push notifications, if you
  enable them.

**2.3 Information we do not collect.** We do not collect your payment-card or
bank-account numbers, and we do not collect precise geolocation. We do not request
sensitive categories of information (such as health, biometric, or government-ID
data) to provide the core Service.

## 3. Information about other people

When you add a contact or record an arrangement, you may provide information about
another person. You are responsible for making sure you have the right to share
that information with us for these purposes. We use information about your contacts
only to provide the Service to you and, where you direct it, to the relevant
counterparty — never to market to them and never to build a profile about them. If
you are a person whose information was added by a User and you have a question or
request, contact us at privacy@inneed.io.

---

## 4. How we use information

We use the information described above to:

- provide, maintain, and operate the Service, including letting you and your
  chosen counterparties keep a shared record of your arrangements;
- authenticate you and keep your account secure;
- send you service-related communications and, if enabled, push notifications;
- respond to your support requests;
- monitor, troubleshoot, secure, and improve the Service, and develop new
  features;
- detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of
  our Terms; and
- comply with law and enforce our agreements.

We do **not** use your information for third-party advertising, for selling, or to
build external credit, reputation, or "trust" profiles.

---

## 5. How we share information

We share information only in these limited ways:

- **With other Users you direct.** The core purpose of the Service is to share a
  record with a counterparty. Information you put into an agreement (such as terms,
  amounts, notes, and acknowledgments) is visible to the other Users in that
  agreement. Share thoughtfully.
- **With service providers.** We use vendors that process information on our behalf
  to run the Service — for example, cloud hosting, authentication, push-notification
  delivery, and error/diagnostics tooling. They may use the information only to
  perform services for us, under contract.
- **For legal and safety reasons.** We may disclose information if we believe in
  good faith that it is required by law, legal process, or government request, or
  is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of InNeed, our
  Users, or the public.
- **In a business transfer.** If the operation of InNeed changes hands — for
  example, through incorporation of the business, a reorganization, a change in the
  individual or entity operating it, a merger, or a sale of assets — information may
  be transferred to the successor, which will remain bound by commitments
  consistent with this Privacy Policy. (See the corresponding assignment provision
  in the Terms of Service.)
- **With your consent**, for anything else.

We do **not** sell your personal information and do **not** share it for
cross-context behavioral advertising.

## 6. Your choices and rights

- **Access, correction, and deletion.** You can view and edit much of your
  information in the app. You may delete your account, which deletes or
  de-identifies your personal information except as we are required or permitted to
  retain it (see Section 7). To make a request, use the in-app controls or contact
  privacy@inneed.io.
- **Push notifications.** You can turn off push notifications in your device
  settings at any time.
- **U.S. state privacy rights.** Depending on your state of residence (for example,
  California and several other U.S. states), you may have rights to know/access,
  correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of your personal information, and to
  not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Because we do not sell
  your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising,
  there is no need to opt out of those activities. To exercise any right, contact
  privacy@inneed.io; we will verify and respond as required by applicable law. You
  may use an authorized agent where the law allows.

We honor these rights regardless of where you live, to the extent practical.

---

## 7. Data retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to
provide the Service, and afterward only as long as necessary to comply with our
legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security, and enforce our agreements.
Because an arrangement is a shared record, information you have already shared with
a counterparty may remain in that counterparty's records after you delete your
account. We may retain de-identified or aggregated information that no longer
identifies you.

---

## 8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed
to protect information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. No method of
transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee
absolute security. Protect your account credentials and notify us at
privacy@inneed.io if you suspect any unauthorized access.

---

## 9. Children's privacy

The Service is intended for users 18 years of age and older. It is not
directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from
children under 13 (or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction). If you
believe a child has provided us personal information, contact privacy@inneed.io and
we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

---

## 10. International users and data location

The Service is operated from the United States of America and is currently directed to
users in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United
States, you understand that your information will be processed in the United States,
where privacy laws may differ from those of your location.

---

## 11. Third-party services and links

The Service may link to or rely on third-party services that we do not control
(for example, payment apps you use to move money between yourselves, app stores,
and authentication providers). Their handling of your information is governed by
their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them.

---

## 12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change,
we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by posting the updated policy with
a new "Last updated" date or by notifying you in the Service). Your continued use
of the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated policy.
