IECC does not maintain cloud copies of Software profile data.

Where EU/EEA individuals interact with our website, certain GDPR obligations apply to that web-based processing. For the desktop Software, data does not leave your device; accordingly, GDPR obligations concerning cross-border data transfers are not triggered by Software use. IECC is currently in the pre-incorporation stage and operates through its designated operating entity. To the extent EU law applies to website-based processing, IECC implements appropriate technical and contractual safeguards.
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to processing. For website-based data, submit requests to legal@imperialecc.com. For Software data, all data resides on your device and may be deleted by you directly from ~/.theivorry/.
IECC implements documented technical measures appropriate to the risk of processing, including: structured access controls, secure local storage architecture, and regular security reviews. No transmission method or storage system is guaranteed 100% secure.
The Software is not directed at children under 16. If you are under 16, you must obtain verifiable parental or guardian consent before using the Software.
