Reasons for data collection

The processing of your personal information (i.e. any information that could potentially allow your identification by reasonable means; hereinafter "Personal Information") is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations towards you and to provide you with our services, protect our legitimate interests and comply with the regulatory obligations (legal and financial) to which we are subject.

What information do we collect?

We collect two types of data and information about our Users.

The first type includes non-identifiable and non-personally identifiable information that concerns one or more Users, and that may be made available to us or collected as a result of their use of the Site ("Non-Personal Information"). We do not know the identity of the Users from whom this non-personal information has been collected. The non-personal information that is collected may include your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information (e.g., the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language settings, access time, etc.) in order to improve the functionality of our Site. We may also collect information about your activity on the Site (e.g., pages viewed, online navigation, clicks, actions, etc.).

The second type is Personal Information, which is individually identifiable information that identifies an individual or is likely, by reasonable means, to allow the identification of an individual. This information includes:

Device Information: We collect Personal Information from your device that includes geolocation data, IP address, unique identifiers (e.g. MAC address and UUID) and other information about your activity on the Site.

Registration Information: When you register on our Site, we will ask you to provide certain information, including: your first and last name, your email or postal address, and other information.

How do we receive information about you?

Your Personal Information is collected in several ways:

When you voluntarily provide your personal data by registering on our Site;
When you use or access our Site in connection with your use of our services;
From third party providers, services and public registries (eg: traffic analysis providers).

Conservation

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Retention periods will be determined based on the type of information collected and the purpose for which it was collected, taking into account the requirements applicable to the situation and the need to destroy obsolete and unused information promptly. Under applicable laws and regulations, we will maintain records containing customer personal information, account opening documents, communications, and any other information required.

We may rectify, complete or delete incomplete or incorrect information at any time and at our sole discretion.

Cookies

We and our trusted partners use cookies and other technologies in our related services, including when you visit our Site or access our services.

A "cookie" is a small piece of information that a website assigns to your device when you visit the site. Cookies are very useful and can be used for a variety of purposes, including allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, enabling certain features to turn on automatically, remembering your preferences, and making it faster and easier for you to interact with our Services. Cookies are also used to ensure that the advertisements you see are relevant to your interests and are personalized accordingly, as well as to compile statistical information about your use of our Services.

The Site uses the following types of cookies:

a. “Session cookies” which are stored only temporarily during your browsing session to enable normal use of the system, and are deleted from your device when you close the browser;

b. “Persistent cookies” which are read only by the Site, which are stored on your computer for a specific period of time and are not deleted when the browser is closed. These cookies are used when we need to recognize you on repeat visits, for example, to allow us to retain your preferences the next time you log in;

c. “Third-party cookies” which are set by other online services that manage content on the page you are viewing, for example, by third-party analytics companies that monitor and analyze our web access.

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but we may associate the Personal Information that we store about you with the information stored in and obtained from cookies. You can remove cookies by following the instructions in your device preferences. Please note, however, that if you choose to disable cookies, some features of our Site may not function properly and your online experience may be limited.

We also use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about your use of the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users access the Site, the pages they view, etc. We use the information collected by Google Analytics only to improve the Site and its services. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the day you visit the sites, rather than your name or any identifying information. We do not combine the information collected by Google Analytics with information that identifies you personally. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Site is restricted by the Google Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Collection of information by third parties

Our policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent you disclose your information to other parties or sites on the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure. Therefore, we encourage you to read the terms of use and privacy policy of each third party to which you voluntarily disclose your information.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage, including any third parties to whom we may disclose your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

How do we protect your information?

We take great care in implementing and maintaining the security of the Site and your information. [we use industry standard procedures to ensure the security of the information we collect and store, and to prevent unauthorized use of it. We require that third parties adhere to similar security requirements, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.] Although we implement reasonable measures to protect information, we cannot be responsible for the acts of those who gain unauthorized access to or abuse our Site, and we make no warranty, express, implied or otherwise, to prevent such access.

Marketing

We may use your Personal Information, including your name, email address, telephone number, etc., ourselves or through subcontractors to provide you with promotional content regarding products that we believe may be of interest to you.

Out of respect for your right to privacy, we include in this promotional content the means to opt out of receiving further promotional offers from us. If you unsubscribe, we will remove your email address or phone number from our marketing distribution lists.

Please note that even if you unsubscribe from receiving marketing emails from us, we may send you other types of important email communications without providing you with the opportunity to unsubscribe. These may include customer service messages or administrative notifications.

Business transaction

We may share information in the event of a business transaction (e.g., sale of a substantial portion of our business, merger, consolidation, or asset sale). In the cases mentioned above, the recipient or acquiring company will assume the rights and obligations as described in this Privacy Policy.
