PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

DataMNC collects information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to any individual or a household (“Personal Information”). DataMNC also collects non-Personal Information that cannot be linked or associated with any individual person or household. When non-Personal Information is combined with other information so that it does identify an individual person, we treat that combination as Personal Information. We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of Personal Information about you, which we have grouped together as follows:

• Identifiers such as your first name, last name, alias, or similar unique personal identifier, account name, online identifier, and/or date of birth.
• Contact Information such as your mailing address, email address, and telephone numbers.
• Financial Information such as credit or debit card information, payment details, or other payment information.
• Profile Data such as user name, password, stakeholder type (academic, consumer, investor, etc.) interests, favorites, profile picture, educational background, gender, age, or other demographic information, payments you have made, and/or other details of products and services you have purchased from us.
• Technical Information such as internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access our Services.
• Usage Data includes information about how you use our Services, such as length of stay, clickstream, and activity on the site (login times, pages viewed, etc.).
• Location Information such as you IP address, your mobile device’s GPS signal or other location information transmitted when you access the Services.

• Inference Data including inferences drawn from the Personal Information identified above.

If You Do Not Provide Personal Information. Where we need to collect Personal Information by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you do not provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with products or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

Children’s Privacy. The Services are intended for adult use only and are not directed towards children, minors, or anyone under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 13, you are not authorized to provide us with any Personal Information.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We share your Personal Information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Policy and with our business partners, suppliers, and sub-contractors in order to provide you with our products and services and perform any contract we enter into with them or you.

Service Providers. We may use third-party service providers to perform certain business services and may disclose Personal Information to such service providers as needed for them to perform these business services.

Advertising Networks. We allow certain third party advertising partners to place tracking technology such as cookies and pixels on our websites. This technology allows these advertising partners to receive information about your activities on our Platform, which is then associated with your browser or device. These companies may use this data to serve you more relevant interest based ads as you browse the internet.  

Business Transactions. We may do business with third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your Personal Information in the same way as set out in this Policy.

Subject to applicable law, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law, regulation or legal process, such as a subpoena; (ii) in response to requests by government entities, such as law enforcement authorities; (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical, financial or other harm, injury or loss; or (iv) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual unlawful activity.

COMMUNICATIONS AND OPT OUT

By establishing an account or registering to receive our newsletter, you may consent to receive periodic commercial/promotional email communications from us. You may opt-out of receiving such promotional communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in a promotional email. This opt out will not apply to operational or informational emails related to your account and purchases. You may continue to receive promotional email messages for a short period while we process your request.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents who have provided personally identifiable information to us or our third-party advertisers and marketing partners, if any, to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personally identifiable information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. Requests should be submitted via email to StakeholderServices@DataMNC.com and should include CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS in the subject line. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the requirements of Section 1798.83 and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response. This request may be made no more than once per calendar year.

Your ‘Do Not Track’ Browser Setting. Some web browsers incorporate a Do Not Track (“DNT”) feature that signals to the websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. At this time, our Services do not respond to DNT signals. Other third party websites may keep track of your browsing activities when they provide you with content, which enables them to customize what they present to you on their websites.
