Sometimes, we also handle the information of European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) citizens or share data with other organisations which do so or provide services to individuals located in the EU and UK. To the extent that we do so for individuals:

We will also provide you with notice on the Services specifically detailing what it is that you are consenting to in clear and plain language as well ensuring that each matter that requires consent is clearly distinguishable.
For all areas of the Services where consent is given it is just as easily able to be withdrawn through the appropriate account settings on the Services or by contacting us at the details provided below.
If you believe that consent has not been given freely or in breach of the terms of this Privacy Notice, please contact us.
We will only collect Personal Information from you if it is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities.
Personal Information means any information that allows someone to identify you, including, for example, your name, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data.
You need to create an account with us to use some of our Services.

The legal basis for this processing is based on:

We will store and process your communications and information as needed. We may also collect contact information if you choose to upload, sync or import it from a device.

We retain information on your behalf, such as domain names, URLs, time zone preferences, Service invoices, transactional history, messages and any other information that you store using your Account.
We may also collect Personal Information at other points on our Services. These points state that Personal Information is being collected. In some circumstances, Personal Information is provided to us by third parties such as our related entities, service providers or other organisations conducting activities on your behalf. With your express consent, your Personal Information may be used and disclosed to us this way. The purposes as outlined above may include the processing of such Personal Information to the extent necessary for us to comply with a law, regulation or legal request or to protect the safety of any person or to prevent fraud.
Some of our Services may allow you to add or may have metadata added to your content such as geotags (to mark your location), comments or other data. This helps our Services and your content to be more searchable.
We use location data to help target and tailor the Services to your particular location and jurisdiction. With your consent, we may also collect information about your precise location using methods including wireless networks, Wi-Fi access points and other sensors.
To make our Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) gather information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information to understand and analyse trends, to administer the Services, to learn about user behaviour regarding the Services, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Strength By Numbers may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.
In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on our Services. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.
We use third party analytics tools to collect information anonymously and report website trends without identifying individual visitors. These tools collect information sent by your device or our Services, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving the Services.
We may also collect information and communications that other people provide when they use our Services. This can include information about you such as when others send messages, documents and information to you. If you are an employee of a business, this might include information that your employer provides to us. We may also collect your information if you are invited to participate in our Services. This may include information such as your name, phone number and email address relevant to the Services and is used for the purpose of enabling us to provide our Services to you.

We agree to not use or disclose this information for a secondary purpose unless you consent to us doing so, or another exception applies under applicable laws.
For the purposes of the law, some information we hold about you may be considered 'sensitive' as a special category of data and therefore subject to greater protection. In the event that we hold sensitive information about you, we will only disclose or use that information with your consent or if another exception applies under applicable laws.
We will also use or disclose your personal information or special category data if we are required to do so by law or a court / tribunal order, or if we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary for an enforcement related activity or on behalf of an enforcement body, in which case we will make a written note of the use or disclosure or another exception applies under relevant laws.
We also collect data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose.

If you do not provide us with the Personal Information described above, some or all of the following may happen:
A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website that you visit. It helps the website to remember information about your visit, like your preferred language and other settings. That can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Cookies play an important role. Without them, using the web would be a much more frustrating experience.
Strength By Numbers’ Services, including websites, online services, email messages, and advertisements, may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behaviour, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches.
We generally treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that IP addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Notice.
Strength By Numbers and our partners also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our Services. Our goal in these cases is to make your experience with Strength By Numbers more convenient and personal. For example, knowing your first name lets us welcome you the next time you open the Strength By Numbers Services. Knowing someone using your computer or device has shopped for a certain product or used a particular service helps us make our advertising and email communications more relevant to your interests. And knowing your contact information, hardware identifiers, and information about your computer or device helps us personalize your operating system and provide you with better customer service.
Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
Some people prefer not to allow cookies, which is why most browsers give you the ability to manage cookies to suit you. If you want to disable cookies, you may do so using the function in your web browser. Please note that certain features of the Strength By Numbers Services may not be available once cookies are disabled.
When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave our website and go to another site and another entity may collect Personal Information or Anonymous Data from you. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for, these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Notice do not apply to these outside websites or content, or to any collection of data after you click on links to such outside websites.
Subject to the EU GDPR or UK GDPR, you may request to access the Personal Information we hold about you by contacting us. All requests for access will be processed within a reasonable time.
We may, if required, provide you with tools and account settings to access, correct, delete, or modify the Personal Information you provided to us. You can find out more about how to do this by contacting us. In the event that you are unable to access your Account to access or rectify your Personal Information, you may submit a request to us to correct, delete or modify your Personal Information and download the data for you.
We keep data for as long as it is needed for our operations. If you deactivate and delete your Account, your data will no longer be visible on your Account. Please keep in mind that third parties may still retain copies of information you have made public through our Services.
If you wish to have us delete your data, please contact us.
You may submit a request to us if you object to any Personal Information being stored, or if you wish to restrict or withdraw any consent given for the collection of your Personal Information.
You may withdraw your consent to the processing of all your Personal Information at any time. If you wish to exercise this right, you may do so by contacting us.
You may withdraw your consent or manage your opt-ins by either viewing your account on the Services or clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing materials we send you.
We may, if required and possible, provide you with the means to download the information you have shared or generated through our services. Please contact us for further information on how this can be arranged.
In certain instances, we may not be required or able to provide you with access to your Personal Information. If this occurs, we will give you reasons for our decision not to provide you with such access to your Personal Information in accordance with the requirements of the EU GDPR or UK GDPR.
There is no application fee for making a request to access your personal information. However, we may charge an administrative fee for the provision of information in certain circumstances, such as if you make repeated requests for information or where the information is held by a third-party provider.
Where we act as a data processor, we do so on behalf of our customer and in accordance with their instructions. This means that should you wish to access, review, correct, transfer, modify or delete any Personal Information we process on behalf of a customer you should contact the customer with your request.
Strength By Numbers stores Personal Information in our Services as well as with some of our sub-processors in our Sub-processor List.
Strength By Numbers takes the security of your personal information very seriously. We will take all steps reasonable under the circumstances to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We will process Personal Information securely and apply and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measure to protect Personal Information.

Further, where there is likely to be a high risk to your rights, we will endeavour to contact you without undue delay. We will review every incident and take action to prevent future breaches.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you, or similarly significantly affects you, as long as the decision is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between us, or is not authorised by Union or Member State law or UK law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or is not based on your explicit consent. If you wish to exercise your rights, please contact us.
We take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information we collect about you is accurate, up to date and complete. Where we collect that information from you directly, we rely on you to supply accurate information.
