Like most other online services, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect some of the data discussed in this Privacy Policy. These help us provide certain features to you and analyze usage information. The Your Choices section below provides additional information about our use of cookies and similar technologies and your ability to manage cookies.
Our uses of cookies and similar technologies fall into the following general categories:
· Essential. We may use cookies, web beacons, or other similar technologies necessary to provide the Services. This includes technologies that allow you to access our website, services, and applications, or are required to identify irregular site behavior and improve security.
· Performance. We may use cookies, web beacons, or other similar technologies to assess the performance of the Services including as part of our analytic practices to help us understand how visitors use our websites; determine if you have interacted with our messaging; determine whether you have viewed an item or link; or to improve our website content, applications, or services.
· Functionality. We may use cookies, web beacons, or other similar technologies that allow us to offer you enhanced functionality when accessing or using the Services. This may include delivering error messages and enhancing the presentation of content on the Services.
We may engage others to provide analytics services and serve advertisements across the web and/or in mobile applications. These entities may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and your activities across other websites and online services which they may associate with persistent identifiers. These identifiers may be derived from a hashed or encrypted version of personal information such as your email address.
Their activities and your choices regarding their use of your information to personalize ads to you are subject to and set out in their policies. We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tacking technologies that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device by non-affiliated third party providers. As described below in the Your Choices section, these providers may offer you a way to opt-out of the collection of information used for certain advertising to you.
You have certain choices about how to protect and limit the collection, use, and sharing of information about you including:
· Opt-out of Marketing Communications. You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by following the instructions in those communications or by submitting a request to [email protected]. If you opt-out, we may still send you non-promotional communications such as messages about our ongoing business relations.
· Opt-out of Cookies and Tracking Technologies. You can often adjust your browser setting to remove or reject browser cookies. If you remove or reject cookies, the availability and functionality of the Services may be affected. You may also limit or block cookies and similar tracking technologies by:
· Blocking Advertising ID Use in Your Mobile Settings. Your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit the use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.
· Using Privacy Plug-Ins or Browsers. You can block websites from setting cookies used for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features or installing browser plugins and configuring them to block third party cookies or trackers.
· Do Not Track. Please note that while we provide tools to manage your privacy as described in this Privacy Policy, we do not support “Do Not Track” browser settings at this time.
· Platform Opt-Outs. The below platforms offer opt-out features that let you opt-out of use of your information for interest-based advertising:
· Google Analytics: https://adssettings.google.com/
· Advertising Industry Opt-Out Tools. You can also use these opt-out options to limit use of your information for interest-based advertising by participating companies:

· Hotjar. We use a service provided called Hotjar that helps us better understand our users’ website experience. For information about Hotjar’s privacy practices, please visit their privacy policy here.

Where required by applicable law and depending on your jurisdiction, you may have access to certain rights. For example, the right to obtain confirmation that we maintain certain personal information relating to you, to verify its content, origin, and accuracy, as well as the right to access, review, port, delete, or block or withdraw consent to the processing of certain personal information (without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal). If you are unable to exercise your rights using the mechanisms in the Your Choices section, you may email us at [email protected]. We may ask you to provide us with information, such as your name and email address, necessary to reasonably verify your identity before responding to your request. If we can’t verify your identity, we will not be able to fulfill your request.
Your personal information may be transferred, processed, and/or stored in countries other than the country in which you are a resident. If you are located outside of the United States, your information is collected in your country and then transferred to the United States—or to another country in which we (or our affiliates or service providers) operate. If we transfer your data out of the European Economic Area (E.E.A.), we implement at least one of the three following safeguards:
· We transfer your information to countries that have been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of date protection according to E.E.A. standards (see the full list of these countries here).
· We confirm that the service provider to which we are transferring data has an active self-certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF, as applicable.
· We take steps to ensure that the receipt is bound by contractual obligations, including E.U. Standard Contractual Clause together with addenda or language to cover the UK and/or Switzerland, as applicable, and additional safeguards to protect your personal data (see a copy of these clauses here).
In certain situations, the courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities in those countries might be entitled to access your personal information.
In some jurisdiction like the European Union and the E.E.A., we only collect, use, or share information about you when we have a valid reason. This is called a “lawful basis.” Specifically, this is one of the following:
· The consent you provide to us at the point of collection of your information;
· The performance of the contract we have with you;
· The compliance of a legal obligation to which we are subject; or
· The “legitimate interests” of Wasabi or a third party. The term “legitimate interest” is a technical term under international laws including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation. It means that there are good reasons for the processing of your personal information and that we take measures to minimize the impact on your privacy rights and interests. The term also refers to our use of your data in ways you would reasonably expect and have a minimal privacy impact.
We have a legitimate interest in gathering and processing personal information, for example to: (a) ensure that our networks and information are secure; (b) administer and generally conduct business within Wasabi; (c) prevent fraud; and (d) conduct our marketing activities.
We use reasonable procedural, physical, and electronic safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access or use. These security measures are designed to protect against the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, misuse, alteration, and unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, the information under our control. However, no method or transmission over the internet or electronic system is completely secure, so we are unable to guarantee absolute security. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Do not share your private cryptographic key with anyone. We may provide you with additional security features like multifactor authentication, and we strongly recommend that you utilize these features.
We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, fulfill our legal obligations, enforce our legal agreements, and resolve disputes. The retention periods for your information are determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the nature of information, why it was collected, and the applicable legal reason(s) for the retention of your information. We may also keep certain information when necessary to protect the safety and security of the Services. Rather than delete your data, we might de-identify it by removing identifying information.
The Services are not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children. In the event that we encounter information from an individual under the age of 18, we will promptly take steps to delete such information. If you believe your child under the age of 18 has uploaded information in connection with the Services, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section below.
We are always improving the Services, and we create new features regularly. These updates sometimes require us to collect new information or use what we already have differently. Further, the laws regarding personal information and privacy frequently change. We will notify you of any changes we make by revising the date at the top of this page. We may also provide you with a reasonable notice of any material changes before they take effect or as otherwise required by applicable law. If you object to any change, you can stop using the Services. After we post any changes, your continued use of the Services is subject to the updated Privacy Policy.
The Services may contain links, banners, and/or widgets to third party sites, applications, or services. We may also incorporate third party software (including open source software) in the Services. These links and features are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply any endorsement of information provided through these third party links and features, nor any association with their operators. Wasabi is not responsible for the practices of such third parties. Any information you provide to third parties on their sites or services is covered under their privacy and data collection practices and not covered by this Privacy Policy. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of these third parties.
