Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Last updated: November 26, 2025

Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. This page explains our practices and how to exercise your rights.

We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

RailScanPro does not sell your personal information to third parties for monetary consideration.

We want to be clear: we do not, and will not, sell your personal data to data brokers, advertisers, or other third parties in exchange for money.

What "Sharing" Means Under CCPA

Under the CCPA, "sharing" includes disclosing personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising (targeted advertising). While we don't sell data, we may share certain information with service providers for legitimate business purposes.

Information We May Share

We may share limited personal information with:

Service Providers

  • Microsoft Azure: Cloud hosting, database, and infrastructure services

  • Azure AI Vision: Photo analysis and product identification
  • Azure SignalR: Real-time communication services
  • Stripe: Payment processing and subscription management
  • SendGrid: Transactional email delivery
  • Microsoft Application Insights: Performance monitoring and error tracking

Important: These service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only to provide services to us and not for their own purposes.

Analytics Partners

  • Google Analytics: Website usage analytics
  • Microsoft Clarity: User experience analytics

Note: These analytics services may use cookies and similar technologies. You can opt out using the tools below.
