If you are an individual from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using your personal data will depend on the specific data involved and the context in which we collect it. Generally, we will collect personal data from you only when: (a) we have your consent, (b) we need the personal data to fulfill a contract with you (e.g., to provide the services available on the Website), or (c) the processing aligns with our or a third party’s legitimate interests (and is not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms).
Advertising of other services on the Website: The primary function of the Website is to showcase Third-Party Content (as defined in the Terms of Use). This Third-Party Content is not owned or controlled by the Website. Our custom system allows us to track when and what ads you view and click on, enabling us to provide you with more relevant and useful advertisements. For instance, knowing which ads you see helps us avoid showing you the same ones repeatedly.
Advertising of the Website on other sites: We deliver tailored advertising based on your usage of the Website and data from third parties. To assess and enhance the effectiveness of our advertising, we may use cookies and other technologies to identify your visits to the Website or interactions with our ads on other sites, and we may share that data with third-party advertising networks. We may collaborate with Google AdWords, DoubleClick, Google Analytics, or other advertising networks, each of which has its own privacy policy. The data we share may include the time and date of your visit, pages viewed, links clicked, and other non-identifying information. We may target advertising to you through various ad networks and exchanges, using data from advertising technologies both on and off the Website, such as unique cookies or similar tracking technologies, pixels, device identifiers, geolocation, operating system information, and email. Advertising you see on other sites is customized based on predictions about your interests derived from your use of the Website and visits to different sites. This type of advertising customization is referred to as “online behavioral” or “interest-based” advertising. For more information about this practice and to learn how to opt out of online behavioral advertising by companies participating in industry self-regulation, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative. Currently, there is no industry standard for recognizing Do Not Track browser signals, so we do not respond to them.
You have options regarding our use and disclosure of your personal data. We provide choices about receiving advertising.
Advertising from third parties on the Website is customized based on your previous interactions with the Website. You can opt out of receiving advertising from third parties by reaching out to us.
You can also generally opt out of receiving personalized ads from third-party advertisers and ad networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for online behavioral advertising by visiting the opt-out pages on the NAI and DAA websites.
We will retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is mandated or permitted by law.
Please be aware that we have various obligations to retain the data you provide, including aiding in fraud detection and complying with anti-money laundering and other applicable laws and regulations.
Protecting your personal data is a priority for us. Your personal data will only be shared with third parties (i) if we are legally obligated to do so, (ii) if the data transfer is necessary for fulfilling our contract with you, or (iii) if you have consented to the transfer of your personal data.
Third-party service providers and partner companies will receive your data only to the extent necessary for fulfilling our contract with you or with your consent. In such cases, the extent of data shared will be kept to the absolute minimum. We ensure that our service providers comply with all applicable data protection laws when they come into contact with your personal data.
We do not share personal data with other companies, organizations, or individuals unless one of the following circumstances applies:
With your consent: We may share personal data with other companies, organizations, or individuals when we have your consent.
Service providers: We may share your personal data with third parties that perform specific services on our behalf. We utilize these services for hosting and maintaining the Website, backup, storage, marketing assistance, business and sales analysis, supporting the Website’s functionality, and other features offered through the Website. These service providers process your personal data based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
Other Situations: We may also disclose your personal data:
in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us at our sole discretion;
when we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud, or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our company, our customers, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies; and/or
in connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.
To provide the services on the Website, we may need to transfer your personal data to jurisdictions that do not offer an adequate level of protection under EU data protection law (for example, the United States). This means that these countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country where you initially provided the data.
In all cases, we utilize European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses as a legal mechanism for data transfers from the EU. These clauses are contractual commitments between companies transferring personal data, binding them to protect the privacy and security of the data. The Website has adopted Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure that the necessary data flows to provide, maintain, and develop the Website occur legally.
There are several locations on the Website where you can click on a link to access other websites that do not operate under this Privacy Policy. For instance, if you click on an advertisement on the Website, you may be directed to a site that we do not control. These third-party websites may independently solicit and collect data, including personal data, from you and, in some cases, provide us with information about your activities on those sites. We recommend reviewing the privacy statements of all third-party websites you visit by clicking on the “privacy” link typically found at the bottom of the webpage.
We employ a variety of security technologies and procedures to help safeguard your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal data is collected on the Website and/or transmitted to other websites, it is protected using encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. However, please be aware that data transfers may be subject to security vulnerabilities, so do not share your login information with any third parties.
We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. If we decide to make significant changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you through the Website or provide you with an opportunity to review the changes before they take effect. We will also display the last date of updates made to this Privacy Policy for your convenience. We recommend adding the Website to your approved sender list in your email client.
If you disagree with the changes to this Privacy Policy, you should stop using the Website immediately. Your continued use of the Website after we notify you of changes to this Privacy Policy indicates your consent to the updated Privacy Policy.
You may request information about your personal data that we process at any time and at no cost, including correction of any inaccuracies, termination of processing, deletion, or portability of your personal data. To exercise these rights, simply contact us at any time via email at: [email protected] with “Privacy Rights” in the subject line and in the body of your message.
If you email us your request, please specify in the email which personal data you would like to change. For your protection, we may only process requests related to the personal data associated with the specific email address you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. We will strive to comply with your request as soon as reasonably possible.
