How We Use Your Information 

We use the Personal Data we collect from you for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain our Services;

• For the performance of a contract such as the development, compliance, and undertaking of the purchase contract for the Services you have purchased or of any other contract with us through the Services;

• To support our legitimate interests in maintaining and improving our Services;

• To contact you with special offers, promotions, and other information we believe will be of interest to you;

• To provide the information, products, and services you request;

• For internal administrative and auditing purposes;

• To detect security incidents and protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, including, when necessary, to prosecute those responsible for such activities;

• For other purposes such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, and evaluating and improving our Services, products, marketing, and your experience;

• To invite you to participate in surveys and provide feedback to us (in accordance with any privacy preferences you have expressed to us);

• To enforce our policies or other agreements;

• To combine information collected through the Services and from other sources so that such information can no longer reasonably be linked to you or your device ("De-Identified Information") such as de-identified demographic information, information about the device from which you access the Services, or other analyses we create;

• To use for any other purpose for which we provide notice at the time of collection; and

• To comply with legal obligations and legal process and to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or other third parties.

We do not sell Personal Data to third parties or otherwise share it with non-agent third parties. If this practice should change in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy to identify the parties and illustrate how individuals can exercise their right to opt-out of such usage.

How We Share and Disclose Information 

Service Providers and Third Parties

We may share your Personal Data with third-party vendors that perform tasks on our behalf such as billing and collection, IT services, maintenance and hosting of our Services, payment processors, marketing partners, accounting, auditing, tax, legal, and other professional services. These third-party vendors may use your Personal Data only in connection with the services they perform on our behalf, and they are bound to protect your Personal Data in a manner substantially consistent with our own policies and practices. Depending on your subscription, we may share your Personal Data with national securities exchanges, securities information processors, or our other third-party financial data providers for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In addition, you may choose to use certain features on our website for which we partner with other entities. These features are operated by third parties that are not affiliated with us. These third parties may use your Personal Data in accordance with their privacy policies. In the parts of the Services on which these features are offered, the relevant third parties are identified. We strongly suggest you review the third party's privacy policies if you use the relevant features.

Your Consent 

We may share or disclose your Personal Data for other purposes pursuant to your consent or with your further direction.

De-Identified Data 

From time to time, we may share De-Identified Information about use of the Services, such as by publishing a report on usage trends. The sharing and our other use of such data is unrestricted.

Legal Reasons 

We may also disclose your Personal Data when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order, or a subpoena. We may also disclose your Personal Data to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft, to protect the security of our Services, to enforce or apply our policies or other agreements, or to protect our own rights or property or the rights, property or safety of our users or others. We will attempt to notify our users about legal demands for their Personal Data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague, or lack proper authority.

Sale, Merger, or Other Business Transfer

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge, or partner with other companies. In such transactions (including in contemplation of such transactions), Personal Data may be among the transferred assets. If a portion or all of our assets are sold or transferred to a third party, your Personal Data would likely be one of the transferred business assets. If such transfer is subject to additional mandatory restrictions under applicable laws, we will comply with such restrictions.

Your Choices 

If you have registered for an account, you may access, review, update, or delete certain Personal Data that you have provided to us by logging into your account and using available features and functionalities or by contacting us in accordance with the "Contact Us" section below. You may also contact us to delete your account. Please note that we will need to verify that you have the authority to delete the account and certain activity generated prior to deletion may remain stored by us and may be shared with third parties as detailed in this Privacy Policy.

You have a choice, at any time, to stop us from sending you emails for marketing purposes by following the "unsubscribe" link included in these messages. Please note that despite any indicated e-mail marketing preferences, we may continue to send you administrative emails, including, for example, notices of updates to our policies including this Privacy Policy, if we choose to provide such notices to you in this manner.

In certain circumstances providing Personal Data is optional. However, if you choose not to provide Personal Data that is needed to use some features of our Services, you may be unable to use those features. We will tell you what Personal Data you must provide to receive the Services.

Some browsers offer a "do not track" ("DNT") option. Since no common industry or legal standard for DNT has, to date, been adopted by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators, we do not respond to DNT signals. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

Jurisdiction-Specific Provisions 

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under local law. If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Brazil, or other jurisdictions with privacy laws providing specific rights, you may, subject to legal limitations, request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability, and object to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. Additional U.S. state disclosures are also included.

Privacy Rights Requests

Submitting Privacy Rights Requests

To submit a request to exercise one of the privacy rights identified above, please contact us at support@aperys.io.

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to submit a request, you'll need to log in to your account with us so we can verify your identity. If you can't log in or don't have an account, we may not be able to link you to any Personal Data of yours on our systems, but we'll do our best. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the rights described above, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity or locate your information in our systems. We will only use Personal Data provided in connection with a rights request to review and comply with the request.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your Right to Opt Out. However, we may ask you to provide additional Personal Data so that we can properly identify you to track compliance with your opt-out request. We will only use Personal Data provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request. If you choose not to provide this data, we may only be able to process your request to the extent we are able to identify you in our data systems.

Submitting Authorized Agent Requests 

In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf through the designated methods set forth above where we can verify the authorized agent's authority to act on your behalf. In order to verify the authorized agent's authority, we generally require evidence of either: (a) a valid power of attorney; or (b) a signed letter containing your name and contact information, the name and contact information of the authorized agent, and a statement of authorization for the request. Depending on the evidence provided and your state of residency, we may still need to separately reach out to you to confirm the authorized agent has permission to act on your behalf and to verify your identity in connection with the request.

Appealing Privacy Rights Decisions

Depending on your state of residency, you may be able to appeal a decision we have made in connection with your privacy rights request. All appeal requests should be submitted via email to support@aperys.io.

Security

Aperys takes all reasonably necessary precautions, such as implementing a combination of physical, technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards, to protect the information we collect through the Services. Although we take reasonable steps designed to protect your Personal Information, please be advised that no security system or means of transmitting data over the Internet can be guaranteed to be entirely secure (including without limitation with respect to computer viruses, malicious software, and hacker attacks). We cannot promise that we, or operators who work on our behalf, can withstand security threats in all circumstances.

Data Retention

We retain Personal Data as long as we are providing the Services to you or for a period during which we reasonably anticipate providing the Services. Even after we stop providing services directly to you, and even if you close your account, we may retain your Personal Data to fulfill our contractual obligations, comply with our legal requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. In cases where we keep Personal Data, we do so in accordance with any limitation periods and records retention obligations that are imposed by applicable law.

International Transfers 

To provide you with the Services, we may store, process, and transmit data in the United States and locations around the world—including those outside of your country. Your Personal Data, therefore, may be subject to privacy laws that are different from those in your country. Personal Data collected within Europe may, for example, be transferred to and processed by third parties located in a country outside of Europe. In such instances, we shall ensure that the transfer of your Personal Data is carried out in accordance with applicable privacy laws and, in particular, that appropriate contractual, technical, and organizational measures are in place.

Links to Third-Party Websites

Our Services may include links to or redirect you to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications, including social media services where you may connect with us. Third-party websites may also reference or link to our websites and online services. Except where we post, link to, or expressly adopt or refer to this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, any Personal Data practices of third-party websites and online services or the practices of other third parties. To learn about the Personal Data practices of these third parties, please visit their respective privacy notices or policies.

Children's Privacy

The Services are directed to individuals at the age of 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware of individuals who have provided us with Personal Data and are under the age of 18, we will take steps to deactivate the account and delete the Personal Data. If you become aware of information from Children which has been provided to us, please contact us in accordance with the "Contact Us" section below.
