(b) To Protect the Rights of Altoida and Others. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we may also disclose your information when required to by law or if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary or appropriate to: (i) protect or defend the rights, safety or property of Altoida, its affiliates, third parties or the general public; (ii) comply with legal and regulatory obligations (e.g., pursuant to law enforcement inquiries, subpoenas or court orders); or (iii) to respond to claims that any content violates the rights of a third party. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud prevention, spam/malware protection, and other similar purposes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we have complete discretion in electing to make or not make such disclosures, and to contest or not contest any requests for such disclosures, all without notice to you.

(c) In connection with a Business Transfer. We also reserve the right to disclose and transfer all information: (i) to a subsequent owner, co-owner, or operator of the Site and/or our Services; or (ii) in connection with a merger, consolidation, restructuring, the sale of substantially all our interests and/or assets or other corporate change, including during any due diligence process.

(d) To Affiliates of Altoida. We may provide information to affiliates of Altoida and nonaffiliated third parties who perform services or functions for us in conjunction with our services, but only if we have a contractual agreement with the other party which prohibits them from disclosing or using the information other than for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

(e) On the Basis of Consent. Where you provide consent, we share your information as described at the time of consent, such as participating in promotional activities by Altoida partners or third parties.

(g) For Internal Business Processes and Promotion. Where permissible under applicable law, we may use certain de-identified information about you to generate leads, drive traffic to Altoida’s website, or otherwise promote our products and services.

Aggregated Information

We may aggregate, de-identify, and/or anonymize any information collected through the Site or Services such that such information is no longer linked to your personally identifiable information. We may use and share this aggregated and anonymized information (non-Personal Information) for any purpose, including without limitation, for research and marketing purposes, and may also share such data with our affiliates and third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners, and others.

Your Choices About the Personal Information We Collect

You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your Personal Information In the following ways:

  • Whenever or if you are asked to fill in a form on the Site, consider what information to include and exclude.
  • Some of our Services may provide you with additional information and choices about your privacy, which you should review.

  • You can also request this by filling out a web form via our Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) Portal. 

We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable.

Administrative Correspondence. Please also note that if you do opt-out of receiving marketing-related emails from us, we may still send you messages for administrative or other purposes directly relating to your use of the Services, and you cannot opt-out from receiving those messages.

Retention of Personal Information

Altoida will retain Your Personal Information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Altoida will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of the Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

Children's Privacy

Protecting children’s privacy is important to us. For that reason, no part of our Site is targeted to attract anyone under the age of 13.

Do Not Track Disclosures

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally agreed upon standard for what a company should do when it detects a DNT signal. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. 

Global Privacy Control

We recognize and honor Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) for U.S.- based users; if GPC is enabled, we recognize this as an “opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information” or as an “opt out of targeted advertising and the sale of personal data” request (non-California U.S. residents).

Visitors to the Site Outside of the United States

If you are visiting the Site from a location outside of the U.S., your connection will be through and to servers located in the U.S. All information you receive from the Site will be created on servers located in the U.S., and all information you provide will be maintained on web servers and systems located within the U.S. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States. By using the Site or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information in the United States and in other countries, as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Updating Personal Information

We prefer to keep your Personal Information accurate and up to date. If you would like to change your contact information, please contact us at contact@altoida.com 

If so, we will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in our then active databases as soon as reasonably practicable (but we may retain prior information such as business records). Please note that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all your information from our databases and that residual data may remain on backup media or for other legitimate business reasons.

In addition, please note that if you implement a deletion request but later sign up for information, your most recent request will control our information relationship with you.

Links

For your convenience, the Site(s) and this Privacy Policy may contain links to other third-party websites and to social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, X and LinkedIn. Altoida is not responsible for the privacy practices, advertising, products, services, or the content of such other websites. None of the links on the Site(s) should be deemed to imply that Altoida endorses or has any affiliation with the links.

Because we use social media plugins, if you visit our Site while logged in to a social networking account, personally identifiable information about your browsing activities on this Website may be transferred to the third party who operates that account. See the third party’s terms of service and privacy policy for more information on what information may be transferred and what you can do to avoid or limit the transfer of information.

Security

We incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, and you provide us with your information at your own risk.

International Data Transfers

Because Altoida works with global companies and technologies, we may transfer your Personal Information outside of the country in which it was originally provided. This may include transfers to third parties, such as developers, service providers or affiliated entities who are located  outside the United States where data protection laws may not offer the same level of protection as those in the United States. When we transfer personal data outside of the United States, we take steps to make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your Personal Information.
