Our software is designed to operate locally on the user's devices, meaning that any biosignal data generated remains on the user’s device and is not transmitted to PLUX or any external servers. We do not access, store, or process biosignal data unless explicitly requested by the user for troubleshooting or technical support purposes, and even then, only with the user's consent.
The personal information we collect pertains strictly to customer and account-related activities, such as processing orders, managing customer accounts, and providing technical support for our hardware and software.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
