If your comment or message contains personal information and is posted on a publicly accessible page, third parties may note this information, potentially leading to unsolicited messages from other parties.

Any content or information you upload is not considered personally identifiable information subject to this Privacy Policy.

Always exercise caution when posting such information.

DATA COLLECTED BY COOKIES

We use cookies, web analytics services, and social media plug-ins on the Website to enhance your experience. A cookie is a small text file that a website sends to your computer to store information that uniquely identifies users. Our cookies do not collect or store personally identifiable information. Instead, the cookie stores a token that uniquely identifies a user at a particular time.

This token is then linked to user information in secured databases. You can always reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to display a message when a cookie is being sent. Please note that if you reset your browser, some Website features and functionality may not be available to you.

For more detailed information, please review our Cookies Policy.

DATA COLLECTED BY WEB BEACONS AND LOG FILES

We also collect certain non-personally identifiable information through the use of web beacons and log files. This information may include your IP address, browser type, Website usage, and whether you opened emails you received from us.

HOW WE SECURE YOUR DATA

To protect your personal data, we take reasonable precautions and use commercially reasonable and generally accepted technological safeguards to secure any information we collect about you. This ensures that it is not inappropriately lost, misappropriated, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. The Secure Server Software (SSL) we use encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Additionally, your user account information is password-protected for your privacy and security. You should always take steps to protect the confidentiality of the password you select.

We will ensure the confidentiality and security of your personal data, protecting it from any unauthorised access or use that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to you.

In compliance with the applicable data protection legislation, any cross-border transfers of personal data will only be conducted in strict accordance with the provisions outlined therein. This ensures that necessary safeguards and protections are implemented, guaranteeing the confidentiality and security of personal data in the receiving country, making such transfers legal under data protection legislation.

HOW DO WE SHARE OR DISCLOSE YOUR DATA

We may share your personal information with subsidiaries, partner companies of the Netenders Group, and trusted service providers and partners that support us in delivering information and services to you. We ensure appropriate safeguards to secure your data during such sharing.

Sharing with Third Parties

To fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, we may need to provide access to your personal data to third parties that support our services. These third parties may act as joint controllers and include:

• Financial institutions;
• Fraud detection and prevention entities;
• Technology and analytics service providers;
• Logistics, transport, and delivery service providers or their partners;
• Customer service providers;
• Marketing and advertising partners, such as advertising agencies, advertising partners, or social networks.

These third parties are required to use the information only for the purpose for which it was provided and in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For example, if you sign up for a promotional offer or enrol in a service offered in partnership with a third party, we may share your name, email address, and account activity with such third parties.

Cross-boarding Transfers

If you agree to this Privacy Policy, you expressly consent to the international transfer of the information you provide to us. Some service providers are located in regions that do not offer data protection equivalent to that of the European Union. In such cases, we transfer your data with appropriate safeguards, using tools like Standard Contractual Clauses or other relevant supplementary measures to maintain data security.

Notably, the European Commission's decision on 10 July 2023 regarding the EU-US Data Privacy Framework allows the secure transfer of personal data from the EU to US entities participating in the framework, ensuring a level of protection comparable to that in the EU.

Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing of your personal data, including profiling.

Corporate Transactions

In the event of an acquisition, merger, sale, or transfer of all or part of our business or assets, we may disclose your personal data to the potential recipient. We will use reasonable efforts to ensure the recipient treats your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We have a legitimate interest in disclosing your data during such corporate reorganisations.

Legal Compliance and Protection

We may release information when we believe it is necessary or appropriate to:

• Comply with laws, government regulations, or court decisions;
• Comply with subpoenas, warrants, court orders, government investigations, or other legal processes;
• Enforce or apply the terms of our user or licence agreements;
• Investigate or respond to allegations of fraud, intellectual property infringement, or other unlawful activities;
• Protect our or our customers’ rights, property, or safety.

For example, if your transaction is processed through a payment gateway located in the United States, your information used to complete the transaction may be subject to disclosure under US law, including the Patriot Act.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

We may disclose non-personally identifiable information to third parties in aggregate form to potential business partners and investors.
