Third-party sources
We may combine personal data we receive from you with personal data we obtain from other sources, such as government agencies, public records, social media platforms, and other publicly available sources.

Cookies. Some of our automatic data collection is facilitated by cookies and similar technologies. For more information, see our Cookie Notice. We will also store a record of your preferences in respect of the use of these technologies in connection with the Website.

No obligation to provide personal data
You do not have to provide personal data to us.

No sensitive personal data
We ask that you not provide us with any sensitive personal data (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through the Websites, or otherwise to us. If you provide us with any sensitive personal data to us when you use the Websites, you must consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal data, you must not submit such sensitive personal data through our Websites.

How we use your personal data
We may use your personal data for the following purposes or as otherwise described at the time of collection:

Website delivery and operations
We may use your personal data to:

Provide and operate the Website and our business;

Provide support for the Website, and respond to your requests, questions and feedback.

Research and development
We may use your personal data for research and development purposes, including to analyze and improve the Website and our business and to develop new products and services.
As part of these activities, we may create aggregated, de-identified and/or anonymized data from personal data we collect. We make personal data into de-identified or anonymized data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this aggregated, de-identified or otherwise anonymized data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze and improve the Website and promote our business and will not attempt to reidentify any such data.

Marketing
We and our service providers may collect and use your personal data for marketing purposes. We may send you direct marketing communications and may personalize these messages based on your needs and interests. You may opt-out of our marketing communications as described in the Opt-out of marketing section below.

Website improvement and analytics
We may use your personal data to analyze your usage of the Website, improve the Website, improve the rest of our business, help us understand user activity on the Website, including which pages are most and least visited and how visitors move around the Website, as well as user interactions with our emails, and to develop new products and services.

Compliance and protection
We may use your personal data to:

Comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas, investigations or requests from government authorities;
Protect our, your or others' rights, privacy, safety or property (including by making and defending legal claims); audit our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements or our internal policies;
Enforce the terms and conditions that govern the Website; and
Prevent, identify, investigate and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity, including cyberattacks and identity theft.

With your consent
In some cases, we may specifically ask for your consent to collect, use or share your personal data, such as when required by law.

No Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
As part of the Websites, we do not engage in automated decision-making and/or profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects. We will let you know if that changes by updating this Privacy Policy.

How we share your personal data
We may share your personal data with the following parties and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, in other applicable notices, or at the time of collection.

Affiliates. Our corporate parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates.
Website providers. Third parties that provide services on our behalf or help us operate the Website or our business (such as hosting, information technology, email delivery, marketing, consumer research and website analytics).

Authorities and others. Law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties, as we believe in good faith to be necessary or appropriate for the Compliance and protection purposes described above.
Business transferees. We may disclose personal data in the context of actual or prospective business transactions (e.g., investments activities, financing activities, public stock offerings, or the sale, transfer or merger of all or part of our business, assets or shares). For example, we may need to share certain personal data with prospective counterparties and their advisers. We may also disclose your personal data to an acquirer, successor, or assignee of us as part of any merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, and/or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal data is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.

Our legal bases for processing
In respect of each of the purposes for which we use your personal data, the GDPR requires us to ensure that we have a “legal basis” for that use.

Our legal bases for processing your personal data described in this Privacy Policy are listed below
Where we need to process your personal data to deliver our Websites to you (“Contractual Necessity”).

Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (“Legitimate Interests”). More detail about the specific legitimate interests pursued in respect of each Purpose we use your personal data for is set out in the table below.

Exercising These Rights
You may submit these requests by email to hello@ainativedev.io, at which point your request will be forwarded to the Data Protection Officer. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Whether or not we are required to fulfill any request you make will depend on a number of factors (e.g., why and how we are processing your personal data), if we reject any request you may make (whether in whole or in part) we will let you know our grounds for doing so at the time, subject to any legal restrictions. Typically, you will not have to pay a fee to exercise your rights; however, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within a month. It may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests; in this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Your Right to Lodge a Complaint with your Supervisory Authority
In addition to your rights outlined above, if you are not satisfied with our response to a request you make, or how we process your personal data, you can make a complaint to the data protection regulator in your habitual place of residence.

Cookies
For information about cookies employed by the Website and how to control them, see our Cookie Notice.

Delete your content or close your account
You can choose to delete certain content through your account. If you wish to request to close your account, please contact us.

Other sites and services
The Website may contain links to third party websites, and other online services operated by third parties. In addition, our content may be integrated into web pages or other online services that are not associated with us. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control websites, mobile applications or online services operated by third parties, and we are not responsible for their actions nor are they subject to this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites, mobile applications and online services you use.

Security
We have put in place procedures designed to deal with breaches of personal data. In the event of such breaches, we have procedures in place to work with applicable regulators. In addition, in certain circumstances (including where we are legally required to do so), we may notify you of breaches affecting your personal data.

International data transfers
Many of our service providers, advisers, partners, or other recipients of data are based in the US. This means that, if you use the Websites, your personal data will necessarily be accessed and processed in the US. It may also be provided to recipients in other countries outside Europe.It is important to note that that the US is not the subject of an 'adequacy decision' under the GDPR - basically, this means that the US legal regime is not considered by relevant European bodies to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data, which is equivalent to that provided by relevant European laws.Where we share your personal data with third parties who are based outside Europe, we try to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it in accordance with applicable privacy laws by making sure one of the following mechanisms is implemented:

Transfers to territories with an adequacy decision
We may transfer your personal data to countries or territories whose laws have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission or UK Government (as and where applicable) (from time to time).

Transfers to territories without an adequacy decision
We may transfer your personal data to countries or territories whose laws have not been deemed to provide such an adequate level of protection (e.g., the US, see above). However, in these cases:we may use specific appropriate safeguards, which are designed to give personal data effectively the same protection it has in Europe - for example, standard-form contracts approved by relevant authorities for this purpose; orin limited circumstances, we may rely on an exception, or 'derogation', which permits us to transfer your personal data to such country despite the absence of an 'adequacy decision' or 'appropriate safeguards' - for example, reliance on your explicit consent to that transfer.

You may contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of Europe.

Children
The Website is not intended for use by anyone under the age of majority. If you are a parent or guardian of a child from whom you believe we have collected personal data in a manner prohibited by law, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected personal data through the Website from a child without the consent of the child's parent or guardian as required by law, we will comply with applicable legal requirements to delete the information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on the Website or other appropriate means. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the modified version (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, your use of the Website after the effective date of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your acknowledging that the modified Privacy Policy applies to your interactions with the Website and our business.

Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for compliance and protection purposes, unless specifically authorized to be retained longer.To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

When we no longer require the personal data, we have collected about you, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. If we anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you), we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
