Data Sharing
AgentCoffee may share your personal data in the following cases:
- Service Providers and Subcontractors: We may share data with trusted service providers, contractors, or agents who perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processing, IT support, or data storage. These partners only receive the information necessary to fulfill their role, and they must adhere to strict confidentiality and data protection obligations.

Data Storage and International Transfers
AgentCoffee stores personal data on secure servers managed by DigitalOcean, LLC in London. Some data may also be processed in Iceland as part of our operations.

Security Measures
AgentCoffee is committed to protecting your personal data. We implement a range of technical and organizational measures to ensure data security, including:
- Data Encryption: We use encryption protocols to protect data during transfer and storage.
- Access Controls: Only authorized personnel have access to your data, and access is restricted based on job function and necessity.
- Regular Monitoring: Our systems are regularly monitored and updated to protect against unauthorized access, data breaches, and other potential security risks.
- Secure Infrastructure: We rely on secure infrastructure providers, such as DigitalOcean, which employ industry-standard security measures to safeguard stored data.
Despite these measures, no system can be entirely secure. In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will act promptly to contain and mitigate the impact and notify affected users as required by law.
Your Rights
Under data protection laws, you have rights concerning your personal data, including:
- Right of Access: You may request a copy of your personal data that we hold.
- Right to Rectification: If your data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request its correction.
- Right to Erasure: In certain cases, you may request the deletion of your personal data.
- Right to Object: You may object to certain types of data processing, such as marketing.
Please note that while we honor these rights regarding data we control, AgentCoffee also acts as a service provider to our customers (e.g., real estate agents), who may store data on their own customers within our CRM. In such cases, AgentCoffee only processes this data as instructed by our customers, who are the data controllers. Therefore, we may be limited in disclosing or acting upon requests regarding data that our customers manage. If you have concerns regarding data your real estate agent has stored within AgentCoffee, please contact them directly.
To exercise your rights or for further information, please contact us at support@agentcoffee.com.

AgentCoffee retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for contractual or legal obligations. Specific retention periods may include:

- Client-Managed Data: Data stored by our customers within AgentCoffee’s CRM is managed according to their instructions. If you request deletion of data controlled by a third party (such as your real estate agent), please contact them directly.
- Compliance and Legal Obligations: Certain data may be retained for extended periods to comply with applicable laws, prevent fraud, or resolve disputes.
In some cases, we may anonymize your personal data for research or statistical purposes, in which case it will no longer be associated with you and may be used indefinitely without further notice.

AgentCoffee may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, our services, or data protection practices. When substantial changes are made that may impact your rights or obligations, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as via email or by posting a notice on our website.
