Effective Date: September 4, 2026
Last Updated: September 4, 2026

Emerging Business & Development Services™ (“EBDS™,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to transparency regarding how information is handled through our websites, digital services, software, and mobile applications.

This Privacy Policy applies to Emerging Business & Development Services™, EBDS™, its brands, divisions, products, websites, software, and digital services, including EmergiForge™, The Captain Suite™, and individual Captain Suite applications such as Battery Captain™, Signal Captain™, and other applications that may be released under The Captain Suite™ in the future.

Where an individual application or service has privacy practices that differ from or supplement this Privacy Policy, additional disclosures may be provided within that application, its app-store listing, or an app-specific privacy notice. Those supplemental disclosures are incorporated into this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We May Collect

The information collected or processed depends on the particular EBDS™ service or application you use.

Information You Provide Directly

You may voluntarily provide information when you:

• submit a website form;

• inquire about or purchase products or services;

• communicate with us by email;

• submit feedback;

• participate in testing, surveys, or research;

• request information about EBDS™ products or services.

This information may include your name, email address, business information, message content, and other information you choose to provide.

Device and Technical Information

EmergiForge™ and Captain Suite™ applications may access or process technical information required to provide their intended functionality.

Depending on the particular application, this may include:

• device manufacturer and model;

• Android operating-system version;

• application version;

• battery level;

• battery charging state;

• battery temperature;

• battery health or related battery information where available;

• network or connectivity status;

• Wi-Fi or cellular signal information;

• notification information or status;

• device or application permissions;

• diagnostic information;

• crash information;

• technical device configuration.

The exact information used depends on the purpose and functionality of the individual application.

Some or all of this information may be processed locally on your device and may never be transmitted to Emerging Business & Development Services™ or EBDS™.

2. Information Processed Locally

Many features within The Captain Suite™ are designed to operate using information supplied directly by the Android operating system or device hardware.

For example, a Captain Suite™ application may monitor:

• battery state;

• charging status;

• battery temperature;

• connectivity status;

• signal conditions;

• storage information;

• device state;

• other technical conditions necessary to provide alerts or diagnostics.

Where reasonably practical, EBDS™ prefers local processing rather than transmitting unnecessary device information to external servers.

The availability and accuracy of information may vary based on:

• Android version;

• device manufacturer;

• hardware capabilities;

• operating-system restrictions;

• user permissions;

• device-specific power-management settings.

3. Advertising and Device Identifiers

Free versions of certain Captain Suite™ applications may display advertising through third-party advertising providers such as Google AdMob.

Advertising providers may collect or process information such as:

• advertising identifiers;

• device identifiers;

• IP address;

• approximate location derived from network information;

• device and application information;

• advertisement impressions;

• advertisement interactions;

• diagnostic or fraud-prevention information.

The specific information processed depends on the advertising provider, applicable law, device settings, and user privacy choices.

Where applicable, Premium or paid versions of Captain Suite™ applications may remove advertising.

4. Premium Purchases and Billing

Certain applications may offer Premium functionality, ad-free access, one-time purchases, subscriptions, or other paid features.

Purchases made through Google Play or another authorized app store are generally processed by the applicable platform.

Emerging Business & Development Services™ and EBDS™ do not ordinarily receive your full payment-card information.

We or the applicable application may receive or process limited purchase-related information such as:

This information may be used to:

• technical diagnostics.

This information may be used to maintain, troubleshoot, secure, and improve our applications.

8. Advertising

Free versions of some Captain Suite™ applications may contain advertising.

Advertising may be provided by Google AdMob or another advertising provider.

Depending on the service and applicable privacy requirements, advertising providers may use information such as:

• advertising identifiers;

Where legally required, users may be presented with consent or privacy-choice options relating to advertising or personalization.

Information may also be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, financing transaction, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law.

10. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed.

These purposes may include:

• providing services;

• maintaining purchase entitlements;

• resolving disputes;

• preventing fraud;

• maintaining business records;

• meeting legal obligations;

• responding to support requests.

Information processed solely on your device may generally be removed by clearing application data or uninstalling the application, subject to Android functionality.

Third-party providers may maintain their own retention policies.

11. Data Deletion and Privacy Requests

You may contact Emerging Business & Development Services™ or EBDS™ regarding personal information we directly maintain about you.

Depending on applicable law, you may request:

• access;

• correction;

• deletion;

• information regarding processing.

If an application does not create user accounts or transmit personally identifiable information to EBDS™, there may be little or no server-side personal information for us to delete.

Requests may be submitted through the contact information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

12. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information under our control.

However, no storage system, electronic transmission, mobile device, website, or software service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users remain responsible for maintaining appropriate security on their own devices, accounts, and networks.

13. Children's Privacy

Unless a particular product expressly states otherwise, Emerging Business & Development Services™, EmergiForge™, and applications within The Captain Suite™ are not specifically directed toward children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 in violation of applicable law.

If we learn that information has been collected from a child in circumstances requiring parental consent and appropriate consent was not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.

Individual applications may have their own app-store age ratings and target-audience classifications.

14. Application Permissions

Captain Suite™ applications may request Android permissions necessary to provide specific functionality.

Permissions vary by application.

Where appropriate, an application may explain why access is needed before requesting permission.

You may manage many permissions through Android system settings.

Revoking or declining a permission may cause related functionality to become unavailable.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as:

• applications evolve;

• new products are released;

• technology changes;

• third-party providers change;

• legal requirements change;

• privacy practices change.

The current version will display its effective date and most recent update date.

Material changes may also be communicated through an application, website, or other reasonable means where appropriate.
