Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the CNBizAPI website, developer onboarding flows, support communications, and API account administration. CNBizAPI is a B2B service for company information and developer integrations.

2. Information We Collect

• Account information such as email address, password hash, API key metadata, and account status.
• Billing and order information such as order ID, product tier, payment status, and refund status.
• Usage information such as API endpoint usage, timestamps, IP-derived security logs, and rate-limit events.
• Support information you send to us through email or other support channels.

3. How We Use Information

• To create and manage accounts and authenticate API access.
• To provide API responses, track usage, enforce quotas, and prevent abuse.
• To process orders, credits, refunds, and support requests.
• To maintain service reliability, security, auditability, and fraud prevention.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations and legitimate business operations.

4. Data Source and Output Clarification

CNBizAPI provides structured access to company-related information. Customer query outputs may include public registry-derived information, normalized commercial data, and fields obtained through authorized third-party data channels where applicable. We do not market the service as a consumer credit reporting product or personal background check service.

5. Sharing

We do not sell customer account information as a standalone data product. We may share limited information with infrastructure providers, payment processors, fraud prevention vendors, or professional advisors when reasonably necessary to operate the service, process payments, investigate abuse, or meet legal obligations.

6. Retention

We retain account, order, and usage records for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, maintain security, resolve disputes, and comply with accounting, legal, or tax obligations. Backup and log retention periods may differ from live system retention.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect account information and service infrastructure. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Choices

• You may contact us to update account information or request account closure.
• You may rotate or revoke API credentials through support or account administration workflows where available.
• You may contact us regarding privacy questions, billing questions, or data handling concerns.
