Automatic collection of information
When you open the Website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This data may
include information such as your device’s IP address, browser type, and version, operating system type and
version, language preferences or the webpage you were visiting before you came to the Website and Services,
pages of the Website and Services that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on
the Website, access times and dates, and other statistics.
Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical
information regarding the usage and traffic of the Website and Services. This statistical information is not
otherwise aggregated in such a way that would identify any particular User of the system.
Collection of personal information
You can access and use the Website and Services without telling us who you are or revealing any information by
which someone could identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. If, however, you wish to use some of
the features offered on the Website, you may be asked to provide certain Personal Information (for example, your
name and e-mail address).
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us when you create an account, publish content, or
fill any forms on the Website. When required, this information may include the following:
- Account details (such as user name, unique user ID, password, etc)
- Contact information (such as email address, phone number, etc)
- Basic personal information (such as name, country of residence, etc)
- Geolocation data of your device (such as latitude and longitude)
- Any other materials you willingly submit to us (such as articles, images, feedback, etc)
You can choose not to provide us with your Personal Information, but then you may not be able to take advantage
of some of the features on the Website. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are welcome
to contact us.
Privacy of children
We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age
of 13, please do not submit any Personal Information through the Website and Services. If you have reason to
believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information to us through the Website and
Services, please contact us to request that we delete that child’s Personal Information from our Services.
We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce
this Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information through the Website and Services
without their permission. We also ask that all parents and legal guardians overseeing the care of children take
the necessary precautions to ensure that their children are instructed to never give out Personal Information
when online without their permission.
Use and processing of collected information
We act as a data controller and a data processor when handling Personal Information, unless we have entered into
a data processing agreement with you in which case you would be the data controller and we would be the data
processor.
Our role may also differ depending on the specific situation involving Personal Information. We act in the
capacity of a data controller when we ask you to submit your Personal Information that is necessary to ensure
your access and use of the Website and Services. In such instances, we are a data controller because we
determine the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Information.
We act in the capacity of a data processor in situations when you submit Personal Information through the
Website and Services. We do not own, control, or make decisions about the submitted Personal Information, and
such Personal Information is processed only in accordance with your instructions. In such instances, the User
providing Personal Information acts as a data controller.
In order to make the Website and Services available to you, or to meet a legal obligation, we may need to
collect and use certain Personal Information. If you do not provide the information that we request, we may not
be able to provide you with the requested products or services. Any of the information we collect from you may
be used for the following purposes:
- Create and manage user accounts
- Respond to inquiries and offer support
- Request user feedback
- Improve user experience
- Enforce terms and conditions and policies
- Protect from abuse and malicious users
- Respond to legal requests and prevent harm
- Run and operate the Website and Services
Processing your Personal Information depends on how you interact with the Website and Services, where you are
located in the world and if one of the following applies: (i) you have given your consent for one or more
specific purposes; (ii) provision of information is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you
and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof; (iii) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal
obligation to which you are subject; (iv) processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public
interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us; (v) processing is necessary for the purposes of
the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.
Note that under some legislations we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing
by opting out, without having to rely on consent or any other of the legal bases. In any case, we will be happy
to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of
Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a
contract.
Managing information
You are able to delete certain Personal Information we have about you. The Personal Information you can delete
may change as the Website and Services change. When you delete Personal Information, however, we may maintain a
copy of the unrevised Personal Information in our records for the duration necessary to comply with our
obligations to our affiliates and partners, and for the purposes described below.
Disclosure of information
Depending on the requested Services or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any Service you have
requested, we may share your information with our affiliates, contracted companies, and service providers
(collectively, “Service Providers”) we rely upon to assist in the operation of the Website and
Services available to you and whose privacy policies are consistent with ours or who agree to abide by our
policies with respect to Personal Information. We will not share any personally identifiable information with
third parties and will not share any information with unaffiliated third parties.
Service Providers are not authorized to use or disclose your information except as necessary to perform services
on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. Service Providers are given the information they need only in
order to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose any of the provided
information for their own marketing or other purposes.
We may also disclose any Personal Information we collect, use or receive if required or permitted by law, such
as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is
necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a
government request.
Retention of information
We will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations,
as long as your user account remains active, to enforce our agreements, resolve disputes, and unless a longer
retention period is required or permitted by law.
We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or
delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. Once the retention period expires, Personal
Information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification,
and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.
Cookies
Our Website and Services use “cookies” to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a
text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in
the domain that issued the cookie to you.
We may use cookies to collect, store, and track information for security and personalization, and for
statistical purposes. Please note that you have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers
automatically accept cookies by default, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you
prefer.
Data analytics
Our Website and Services may use third-party analytics tools that use cookies, web beacons, or other similar
information-gathering technologies to collect standard internet activity and usage information. The information
gathered is used to compile statistical reports on User activity such as how often Users visit our Website and
Services, what pages they visit and for how long, etc. We use the information obtained from these analytics
tools to monitor the performance and improve our Website and Services. We do not use third-party analytics tools
to track or to collect any personally identifiable information of our Users and we will not associate any
information gathered from the statistical reports with any individual User.
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers incorporate a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have
your online activity tracked. Tracking is not the same as using or collecting information in connection with a
website. For these purposes, tracking refers to collecting personally identifiable information from consumers
who use or visit a website or online service as they move across different websites over time. How browsers
communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. As a result, the Website and Services are not yet set up
to interpret or respond to Do Not Track signals communicated by your browser. Even so, as described in more
detail throughout this Policy, we limit our use and collection of your Personal Information. For a description
of Do Not Track protocols for browsers and mobile devices or to learn more about the choices available to you,

Social media features
Our Website and Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook and Twitter buttons, Share This
buttons, etc (collectively, “Social Media Features”). These Social Media Features may collect your
IP address, what page you are visiting on our Website and Services, and may set a cookie to enable Social Media
Features to function properly. Social Media Features are hosted either by their respective providers or directly
on our Website and Services. Your interactions with these Social Media Features are governed by the privacy
policy of their respective providers.
Links to other resources
The Website and Services contain links to other resources that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be
aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other resources or third parties. We
encourage you to be aware when you leave the Website and Services and to read the privacy statements of each and
every resource that may collect Personal Information.
Information security
We secure information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from
unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical
safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of Personal
Information in our control and custody. However, no data transmission over the Internet or wireless network can
be guaranteed.
Therefore, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, you acknowledge that (i) there are security and
privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (ii) the security, integrity, and privacy of
any and all information and data exchanged between you and the Website and Services cannot be guaranteed; and
(iii) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party, despite best
efforts.
As the security of Personal Information depends in part on the security of the device you use to communicate
with us and the security you use to protect your credentials, please take appropriate measures to protect this
information.
Data breach
In the event we become aware that the security of the Website and Services has been compromised or Users’
Personal Information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including,
but not limited to, security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures,
including, but not limited to, investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation with law
enforcement authorities. In the event of a data breach, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected
individuals if we believe that there is a reasonable risk of harm to the User as a result of the breach or if
notice is otherwise required by law. When we do, we will post a notice on the Website, send you an email.
Changes and amendments
We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms related to the Website and Services at any time at our
discretion. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this page, post a notification on the
main page of the Website. We may also provide notice to you in other ways at our discretion, such as through the
contact information you have provided.
An updated version of this Policy will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Policy unless
otherwise specified. Your continued use of the Website and Services after the effective date of the revised
Policy (or such other act specified at that time) will constitute your consent to those changes. However, we
will not, without your consent, use your Personal Information in a manner materially different than what was
stated at the time your Personal Information was collected.
