SHARING OF INFORMATION

• With other users who may access your content;
• With sponsors of events that you register with express intent for the purpose of following up on your interests.
• With vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf;

ANALYTICS SERVICES PROVIDED BY OTHERS

We may allow others to provide analytics services on our behalf. These entities may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand your online activity.

We currently use Google Analytics which is a web analytics tool that helps us understand how users engage with our Services. Like many services, Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track user interactions as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how users use our Services. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve our Services. The reports disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors.

DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURE

We do not track our users over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising.  We therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. Your browser should allow you to set its DNT signal so that third parties know you do not wish to be tracked.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you are from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the UK or Switzerland, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, (ii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, or (iii) where we have your consent to do so.  In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contact with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will normally be to operate our platform and communicating with you as necessary to provide our Services to you and for our legitimate commercial interest, for instance, when responding to your queries, improving our platform, undertaking marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities.  We may have other legitimate interests and if appropriate we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contact” heading below.

SECURITY

We make reasonable efforts to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk associated with the processing of information we collect about you. We maintain organizational, technical and administrative measures designed to protect your information within our organization against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration or misuse. Your information is only accessible to a limited number of personnel who need access to the information to perform their duties. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please email us immediately at privacy@bettermedia.xyz

RETENTION

We retain your personal information as long as we are providing the Services to you. We retain your information after we cease providing Services directly or indirectly to you, even if you close your Better Media account, to the extent necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, and for the purpose of fraud monitoring, detection and prevention. We also retain your information to comply with our tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations, where we are required to retain the data by our contractual commitments to our financial partners, and where data retention is mandated by the payment methods that we support. Where we retain data, we do so in accordance with any limitation periods and records retention obligations that are imposed by applicable law.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Personal information may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage service providers. We may transfer your information that we maintain about you to recipients in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected, including to the United States. Those countries may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. However, we will take measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that your information remains protected to the standards described in this Privacy Policy. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your information.

If you are located in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, we comply with applicable laws to provide an adequate level of data protection for the transfer of your Personal Data to the US. Where applicable law requires us to ensure that an international data transfer is governed by a data transfer mechanism, we use one or more of the following mechanisms: EU Standard Contractual Clauses with a data recipient outside the EEA or the UK, verification that the recipient has implemented Binding Corporate Rules, or verification that the recipient adheres to the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework.

CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect personal information from users under the age of thirteen.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

The Services may provide the ability to connect to other websites. These websites may operate independently from us and may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review. If any linked website is not owned or controlled by us, we are not responsible for its content, any use of the website or the privacy practices of the operator of the website.

YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on the jurisdiction in which you are located, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information. Subject to applicable law, these rights may include:

• The right to know what personal information about you we have collected, disclosed, and or sold, as applicable;
• The right to obtain a copy of your personal information;
• The right to have your personal information deleted;
• The right to rectify or update your personal information;
• The right to restrict the processing of your personal information;
• The right to object to the processing of your personal information; and
• The right to withdraw your consent for processing (where processing is based on your consent). Please note that if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you the services for which it was necessary to process your information based on your consent.

To exercise any of the rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to us by using the contact details provided under the “Contact” heading below.

The verifiable request must describe your request with sufficient detail that allow us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it, and provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected the PI or an authorized representative. Please, however, refrain from sending us sensitive PI in your request.

Where permitted by law, you may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf if you have provided the authorized agent signed permission do so. We may not be able to fulfill your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to. Making a verifiable request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable law. We reserve the right to charge an appropriate fee for complying with a request where permitted by applicable law, and to deny a request where it may be manifestly unfounded, excessive, or unwarranted under applicable law.

We hope that you won’t ever need to, but if you do want to complain about our use of personal information, please send us a message with the details of your complaint using the contact details provided under the “Contact” heading below. Applicable laws may also give you the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country.

You may update or correct information about yourself by editing your account settings within our Services. If you wish to delete your account, please visit https://jblearn.staging.wpengine.com/account/ but note that we may retain certain information as required by law, for legitimate business purposes, or as part of our regular retention practices. We may also retain cached or archived copies of information about you for a certain period of time.
