We are committed to protecting your privacy and processing personal data in compliance with applicable laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and other relevant regulations.

1. Data Controller and Contact

IQPulser acts as the data controller for processing carried out in connection with the Service. For questions or privacy requests, contact us at support@iqpulser.com.
