WHEN AND WHY DO WE SHARE YOUR DATA?

To provide our Service effectively, we may need to share your personal data with certain third parties. Such sharing will be carried out in compliance with applicable privacy laws.

WHERE IS YOUR DATA STORED AND TRANSFERRED?

Data Storage. We primarily store and process your personal data within Cyprus and the European Economic Area (EEA) to ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws. Our commitment to data security and privacy means that all personal data is stored on secure servers that we either own or license from trusted third-party providers. These servers are protected using industry-standard security measures to prevent unauthorized access, data loss, or misuse.

Data Transfers Outside the UK & EEA. In certain circumstances, we may need to process or transfer your data to trusted third-party service providers outside Cyprus and the EEA to ensure the effective operation and delivery of our Service. This may include servers or partners based in the United States or other jurisdictions.

Before engaging any third-party processor located outside these regions, we conduct thorough risk assessments and ensure they meet strict privacy and security requirements aligned with international data protection standards. We do not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that lack adequate data protection frameworks.

Legal Safeguards for International Transfers. Whenever personal data is transferred outside Cyprus or the EEA, we comply with EU GDPR by implementing legally recognized safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission, ensuring an equivalent level of data protection.

Where an adequacy decision is unavailable, we apply additional safeguards such as encryption, strict access controls, and security audits to mitigate risks associated with cross-border data transfers.

For additional information on Standard Contractual Clauses under EU law, please visit this link.

Data Minimization and Anonymization. To further enhance privacy and security, we apply principles of data minimization and anonymization, ensuring that only the necessary data is transferred outside the EEA to fulfill specific purposes. This reduces potential risks associated with international data transfers.

Your Consent to International Transfers. By using our Service and providing your personal data, you explicitly acknowledge and consent to its transfer, storage, and processing outside the EEA as outlined in this Privacy Policy. All transfers are conducted in strict compliance with applicable data protection laws to ensure your rights and personal data remain protected.

Protection of Children’s Data. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children who do not meet the minimum age requirement in their jurisdiction. If you are under the applicable minimum age, as defined in our Terms, you are not permitted to use our Service.

WHAT ARE OUR RULES FOR STORING YOUR DATA?

We store your personal data only for as long as it is necessary and relevant to achieve the purposes for which it was originally collected. This includes providing our Service, maintaining security, resolving disputes, and complying with legal and regulatory obligations.

Retention Periods. When your personal data is no longer required for its original purpose, we will either securely delete or anonymize it so that it can no longer be linked to you. If you deactivate or delete your account, we will retain your personal data for no longer than two (2) months, unless retention is required for legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations. In cases where legal or regulatory requirements necessitate longer retention, we will store only the minimum personal data necessary and ensure it is appropriately protected.

Exceptions to Deletion Requests. Even if you request the erasure of your personal data, certain circumstances may require us to retain minimal ​​personal data, including:

  • Legal compliance: To adhere to applicable laws, regulations, or law enforcement requests.
  • Dispute resolution: To investigate, defend, or settle legal claims.

  • Secure Networks & Firewalls: We use firewalls and endpoint protection to prevent cyber threats.
  • Backups & Disaster Recovery: Our systems include secure backups and failover mechanisms to ensure resilience against data loss or service disruptions.

Acknowledgment of Security Limitations. We take commercially reasonable measures to protect your personal data, utilizing security technologies and best practices to guard against unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyber threats. However, no security system is entirely impervious to risks. Ensuring the safety of your information is an ongoing effort that involves continuous monitoring, risk evaluation, and enhancement of security protocols. The presence of a security incident does not automatically imply non-compliance with legal requirements or industry standards.

HOW DO WE RESPOND TO SECURITY INCIDENTS?

Immediate Assessment and Containment. In the unlikely event of a personal data breach, we will promptly assess the incident, contain its impact, and evaluate the risks to individuals’ rights and freedoms. Our breach response may involve actions such as logging affected users out, resetting passwords, and enhancing security protocols to mitigate potential harm. By maintaining strong personal security practices and promptly reporting any concerns, you can help us protect your information effectively.

Regulatory Reporting Obligations. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk, we will notify affected individuals without undue delay, providing details of the breach, mitigation steps, and recommended protective actions. When required, we will report the breach to the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware. All breaches will be documented, and measures will be implemented to prevent recurrence.

HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR REQUESTS?

If you submit a request to exercise your data protection rights, we will process it as follows:

Response Timeframe. We aim to respond to valid requests within 30 days from the date of receipt. If your request is complex or we receive a high volume of requests, we may require additional time. In such cases, we will inform you of the extension and provide a revised timeline for our response.

Right to Decline Requests. We reserve the right to decline requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive under applicable privacy laws. If your request falls into this category, we will notify you of our decision and provide reasons where required by law.

Identity Verification. To protect your privacy and prevent unauthorized access, we may request additional information to verify your identity before processing your request. This step is necessary to ensure:

  • the requestor is entitled to access or modify the personal data.
  • the rights and privacy of third parties are not compromised.

If we are unable to reasonably verify your identity, we may be unable to fulfill your request. We will inform you of this and provide guidance on any alternative steps you may take.

PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS, US

General Details. Residents of certain U.S. states, such as California, may have additional rights regarding their personal information under applicable state laws. These include the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), among other state privacy laws. Where specific legal provisions in this notice do not apply, the Privacy Policy shall govern the processing and handling of personal information.

Exercising Your Rights. Only you or an authorized representative legally permitted to act on your behalf may submit a request related to your personal information. Please refer to the previous section for details on the rights available to you and how to exercise them. In addition to those rights, this section provides further information about the processing, collection, and disclosure of personal information under U.S. State Privacy Laws.

Definition of Personal Information. Personal Information refers to any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can reasonably be linked to you as an individual.

Pursuant to the CCPA, the term “personal information” excludes:

  • Information that is publicly available through official government sources.
  • Consumer data that has been de-identified, anonymized, or aggregated in a manner that prevents re-identification

Data Controller Responsibilities. NOVE8 LTD is responsible for determining how your personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and shared in accordance with applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the CCPA and other state-level privacy regulations.

No Sale of Personal Information. We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money, nor are we in the business of trading or monetizing user information. However, like many online businesses, we collaborate with advertising and analytics partners to deliver relevant ads across different platforms.

How This May Be Considered “Selling” or “Sharing” Under the CCPA? Under the CCPA, the sharing of personal information for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising may be classified as “selling” or “sharing”, even if no money is exchanged. This means that certain activities, such as allowing advertising networks to collect identifiers or browsing behavior to show you personalized ads, could be considered data sharing under California law.

Your Right to Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising and Data Sharing. Even though we do not sell your personal information for direct monetary gain, you still have the right to opt out of any sharing of your personal information with our advertising and analytics partners. This includes:

  • Targeted advertising and personalized marketing.
  • Behavioral tracking and analytics-based audience insights.

You can exercise this right by:

Please note that under California’s “Shine the Light” law (California Civil Code § 1798.83), residents of California may request information about the disclosure of their personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes. If applicable, you may submit such a request by contacting us.

Do Not Track. The “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature is a privacy preference that some web browsers offer, allowing users to indicate their preference not to be tracked by websites or online services. However, at this time, there is no universally accepted standard for implementing DNT signals, and not all browsers support this feature. Consequently, we do not currently respond to DNT signals.

Request for Access: you have the right to ask for access to (i) the personal and sensitive information we have about you and how we use it; and (ii) the categories, sources, and third parties that have received your personal information or to whom it has been “sold” or disclosed in the past 12 months. You can make this request once a year at no cost. Please ensure the subject line reads “California Privacy Rights Request,” and include relevant details such as your name, street address, city, state, and zip code. Once we validate your request, we will provide the requested disclosure within 30 days of receipt, unless an extension is necessary. If we require additional time due to the complexity of the request or the high volume of requests, we may extend the response period by an additional 30 days. In such cases, we will notify you within the initial 30-day period, explaining the reason for the extension and the expected response timeline.

Under the CCPA, privacy rights extend beyond users to all individuals, including job applicants, employees, independent contractors, and business partners who are California residents. These individuals may request information about our information collection practices regarding their personal information and may also exercise rights to access, delete, correct, or opt out of certain information sharing as permitted under California law. To make a request, please follow the instructions outlined in this Privacy Policy.
