Law Enforcement & Crime Prevention

Azokle strongly believes in protecting user privacy while complying with applicable laws.

We do not store detailed user activity logs, behavior profiles, or unnecessary personal data.

In the event of a valid legal request relating to terrorism, serious crimes, or threats to life, we may provide very limited information — such as account identification details — strictly to the extent required by law.

We cannot provide more because we do not retain detailed communication logs, browsing history, or behavioral data.

All such disclosures are logged internally and, where legally permissible, we will notify the affected user.

Offline Products & Services

Some Azokle applications and software are designed to work completely offline and do not require an Azokle ID or any online account.

All offline products are fully encrypted to protect your data on your device.

No data from these products is transmitted to Azokle servers.

Some offline products may allow you to set an offline secret key or password for additional protection.

This secret key/password is optional and is never stored by Azokle — if you forget it, it cannot be recovered.

All data in these products remains entirely on your device unless you manually export or share it.

Delete

Request deletion of your data

Portability

If your data is processed outside your country, we ensure adequate protection through encryption and legal safeguards. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure adequate protection through approved transfer mechanisms including Standard Contractual Clauses and adequacy decisions. All transfers comply with GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy regulations.
