This Policy complies with global privacy laws, including POPIA (South Africa), GDPR (EU), COPPA (US), HIPAA (US health data), and CCPA/CPRA (California, US). For privacy matters, contact us at support@doisk.com.

- COPPA: Requiring verifiable parental consent before collecting Baby Data from children under 13.
- HIPAA: Secure handling of health-related Baby Data where applicable.
- CCPA/CPRA: Respecting rights for California residents, including access, deletion, and opt-out of data sharing.
6. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal data. We only share information with:
- Service Providers: Hosting platforms, customer support tools, and payment processors (e.g., Paystack, strictly under their privacy policies).
- Research Institutions: For Enfant, we only share anonymized, aggregated Baby Data.
- Authorities: Regulators or law enforcement when strictly required by law.
- Business Successors: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided successors agree to this Policy.
7. Cross-Border Transfers
Doisk is based in South Africa, but your data may be transferred globally. We enforce safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) under GDPR, POPIA cross-border compliance, strict encryption, and participation in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable.
8. Data Retention
- Enfant Baby Data: Cry recordings are deleted within 30 days unless extended with explicit parental consent.
- Stylit Account Data: Retained to provide services. If deleted, data is removed or anonymized within 60 days, except where required by law.
- General Account Data: Retained until account closure plus 12 months.
- Payment Records: Retained as legally required for tax and audit obligations.
- Aggregated Data: Anonymized datasets may be stored indefinitely.
9. Security & Data Breaches
We implement layered safeguards including transit encryption (TLS 1.2+), at-rest encryption (AES-256), role-based access control (RBAC), and routine security audits. While we strive to protect your data, no system is 100% secure.
Breach Policy: In the event of a security breach, users will be notified within 72 hours (GDPR standard). We will report the incident to relevant regulators (e.g., the Information Regulator in SA, EU DPAs) and provide mitigation steps.
10. Children’s Data & Parental Consent (Enfant)
We collect Enfant Baby Data only with verified parental consent (via ID/utility bill or COPPA-compliant credit card verification). Parents may review Baby Data at any time, request corrections, or withdraw consent (which results in data deletion within 30 days).
11. AI Transparency & Scientific Basis (Enfant)
Enfant utilizes AI-based cry analysis grounded in peer-reviewed academic research. We follow OECD AI Principles and UNICEF AI for Children guidelines. Disclaimer: AI outputs are probabilistic and do not constitute medical advice. Enfant is not a certified medical device; parents should consult professionals for health concerns.
12. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR, POPIA, CCPA, etc.), you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction, deletion ("right to be forgotten"), or restriction of processing.
- Object to specific processing activities, including opting out of targeted marketing.

We use cookies and similar technologies for core functionality, analytics, performance, and user experience improvements (e.g., remembering Stylit login states). You may manage or disable cookie settings through your browser, though this may limit app functionality. We do not place personal identifiers in cookies.
