Modifications to this Privacy Policy

Digital Hive reserves the right to change, modify, or update this Privacy Policy at any time. The “LAST UPDATED” legend at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the services. Your use of the services following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.

Your rights

To the extent a specific element of our processing of your Personal Information relies upon your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. A withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the consent withdrawal.

Digital Hive wants to maintain only accurate information about users. You have the right to request that we rectify inaccurate Personal Information concerning you. Depending on the purposes of the processing, you may have the right to have incomplete personal information completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

You have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not Personal Information concerning you is being processed, and, where that is the case, to request access to your Personal Information. This access information includes, among others, the purposes of the processing, the categories of Personal Information concerned, and the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the Personal Information has been or will be disclosed. However, this is not an absolute right and the interests of other individuals may restrict your right of access. For your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the Personal Information associated with the particular email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request.

Under certain circumstances, you have the right to ask us to erase Personal Information concerning you and we may be obliged to erase such Personal Information. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion (e.g., when you make a purchase or enter a promotion, you may not be able to change or delete the Personal Information provided until after the completion of such purchase or promotion).

Under certain circumstances:

you have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your Personal Information. If so, the applicable Personal Information will be marked and may only be processed by us for certain purposes.
you have the right to ask us to provide you with your Personal Information, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit that data to another entity without hindrance from us.
you can object on grounds of relating to your particular situation at any time to the processing of your Personal Information by us and require us to stop processing your Personal Information. The right to object may especially apply if we collect and process your Personal Information for profiling purposes in order to better understand your interests in our products and services or for direct marketing. If you have a right to object and you exercise this right, we will no longer process your Personal Information for those purposes. You may exercise this right by contacting us. The right to object may, in particular, not exist if the processing of your Personal Information is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract or to perform a contract already concluded.

Data retention

Digital Hive will not retain your Personal Information longer than is necessary and permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you; (ii) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject; or (iii) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

Jurisdiction and cross-border transfer

Your Personal Information may be collected or processed by, and transferred to, Digital Hive facilities in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and in other countries where Digital Hive does business. Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using the services you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country.
