What information do we collect?

In short: We collect personal information that you provide to us.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, when you use our services, or otherwise when you contact us.

The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the products and services you use, pay for, or inquire about. The personal information we collect may include the following:

names
email addresses
phone numbers
billing addresses
contact preferences

Additional information including credit/debit card, bank account, and other payment information may be collected by payment services as part of completing transactions through those online stores (Square and Etsy). This information, however, is never stored on our own servers or even accessible by us directly.

Information we don't collect:

Sensitive information
IP addresses
Identifying information that doesn't come directly from you

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

How do we process your information?

In short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our products and services, including:

To deliver and facilitate delivery of services to the user. We may process your information to provide you with the requested product(s) or service(s).
To respond to user inquiries/offer support to users. We may process your information to respond to your inquiries and solve any potential issues you might have with the requested product(s) or service(s).
To send administrative information to you. We may process your information to send you details about our products or services and other similar information.

What legal bases do we rely on to process your information?

In short: We only process your information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law.

If you are located in the EU or UK:

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information:

Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Performance of a Contract. We may process your information when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our products and services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
Legal obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

If you are located in Canada:

We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including:

If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely manner.
For investigations, fraud detection, and fraud prevention.
For business transactions provided certain conditions are met.
If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim.
For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin.
If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be, victim of financial abuse.
If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province.
If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records.
If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced.
If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes.
If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations.

When and with whom do we share your personal information?

In short: We may share information in specific situations with third parties that provide services we use - such as for payment processing, contract drafting, and sending invoices.

Business Transfers

We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

Sending invoices and processing payments

We may share your information with third parties in order to process payments and to send invoices for provided/planned projects and services.

We may use PayPal and Square in order to process the above. You can view the PayPal Privacy Statement at https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full and the Square Privacy Notice at https://squareup.com/us/en/legal/general/privacy.

How long do we keep your information?

In short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

How do we keep your information safe?

In short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our products and services is at your own risk. You should only access our products or services within a secure environment.

Do we collect information from minors?

In short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using our products and services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of our products and services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at info@terrabyte.eco.

What are your privacy rights?

In short: You may review, change, or delete your stored data at any time.

In some regions (like the EEA, UK, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right:

to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information
to request rectification or erasure
to restrict the processing of your personal information
if applicable, to data portability

In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the "How can you contact us about this notice?" section below.

Withdrawing your consent

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the "How can you contact us about this notice?" section below.

However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at info@terrabyte.eco.

If you are located in the EEA or UK

If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details at https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

If you are located in Switzerland

If you are located in Switzerland, the contact details for the data protection authorities are available at https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html.

Controls for Do-Not-Track features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

Do California residents have specific privacy rights?

In short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal information.

Verification process

We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.
- We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification.

We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying you.
