  • third-party service providers (like Google and Facebook), which may provide information about you when you link, connect, or log in to your account with the third-party provider, and they send us information such as your registration and profile from that service. The information varies and is controlled by that service provider or as authorized by you via your privacy settings at that service provider;
  • other third-party sources and/or partners, whereby we receive additional information about you (to the extent permitted by applicable law), such as demographic data or fraud detection information, and combine it with information we have about you. For example, fraud warnings from service providers like identity verification services.

When We Disclose Information

We make your personal information accessible only by those who need to perform their tasks and duties and by third parties who have a legitimate purpose for accessing it. We may share your personal information with third parties in the following cases:

  • the relevant customer has consented to the disclosure;
  • the information is disclosed to contractors or other parties to the extent necessary to achieve the intended purposes explicitly indicated to the relevant customer (for support purposes and license validation);
  • subcontractors and service providers who assist us with how we use personal information. Note that our subcontractors and service providers may also transfer and access such information from other countries in which they operate;
  • We reserve the right to disclose any personal information as required by law and when we believe, at our sole discretion, that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect someone from injury, and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on the Company.

Where We Store Information

Crocoblock has its headquarters in the United States and is located in Ukraine. This means your data will be processed in Ukraine and the US. We store and process your data based on your consent to this policy. To protect your information, we take care where possible to work with subcontractors and service providers who we believe maintain an acceptable standard of data security compliance.

How Long We Keep Information

We retain your personal information for as long as it is necessary to provide services to you and comply with our legal obligations. If you no longer want us to use your personal information or provide you with the Crocoblock services, you can request that we erase your personal information and close your Crocoblock account. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information, we will retain information from deleted accounts as necessary for our legitimate business interests: to comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect fees, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce the provision of the Terms of Use, and take other actions permitted by law. The information we retain will be handled as per this Privacy Policy.

How We Keep Information Secure

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure your information and to protect it against unauthorized or unlawful use and accidental loss or destruction, including:

  • sharing and providing access to your information only to the minimum extent necessary, subject to confidentiality restrictions where appropriate, and on an anonymized basis wherever possible;
  • using secure servers to store your information;
  • verifying the identity of any individual who requests access to information before granting them access to it;
  • using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software or other similar encryption technologies to protect the transfer of data and information.

You must also ensure that your information is safe and secure. We are not responsible if you circumvent any privacy settings or security measures on our Sites. Even if we give you (or you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Sites, you are responsible for keeping that password confidential. Do not share your password with anyone.

Please be careful about giving out information in public areas of our Sites, for example, community message boards or forums. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of our Sites. We cannot control the actions of other users of our Sites with whom you choose to share your information; as such, we cannot guarantee your contributed information cannot be viewed by unauthorized parties. If you are sharing information via another website, check the privacy policy for that site to understand its information management practices, as the present privacy policy will not apply.

How You Can Access and Manage Information

You can access your personal information that we collect by logging in to your account. You also have the right to request access to other personal information we hold about you and ask for corrections of any errors in that data. Furthermore, you can close the account you have with us for any of our Sites at any time. To make an access or correction request, contact us at [email protected]. You also retain the right to discontinue your account and remove all personal data by submitting a request form and contacting the support team directly.

These rights are limited in some situations; for example, we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your personal information. In some instances, this means that we may retain some data even if you withdraw your consent. Where we require your personal information to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then the provision of such data is mandatory. If such data is not provided, we will be unable to manage our contractual relationship with you or to meet obligations placed on us. In all other cases, the provision of requested personal information is optional. If you have unresolved concerns, you also have the right to complain to data protection authorities.

The relevant data protection authority will be the data protection authority of the country:

  • of your habitual residence;
  • of your place of work;
  • in which you consider the alleged infringement has occurred.

Marketing Choices

Where we have your consent to do so (e.g., if you have subscribed to one of our email lists or have indicated that you are interested in receiving offers or information from us), we send you marketing communications by email about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. You can “opt-out” of such communications if you would prefer not to receive them in the future by using the “unsubscribe” option provided via newsletter or contacting us via [email protected].

You also have choices about cookies, as described below. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, some parts of our Sites may not work properly in your case.
