  1. What Information Do We Collect?

The personal information you disclose to us: We collect the personal information you voluntarily provide when you register on the Services, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise contact us.

  • Sensitive Information: We do not process sensitive information.
  • Information automatically collected: We collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information). Still, it may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Services, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes. Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.
  1. How Do We Process Your Information?

In short, we process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you for security and fraud prevention, and comply with the law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons depending on how you interact with our Services, including:

  • To facilitate account creation and authentication and otherwise manage user accounts: We may process your information so you can create and log in to your account and keep your account in working order.
  • To save or protect an individual's vital interest: We may process your information when necessary to save or protect an individual’s vital interest, such as to prevent harm.
  1. What Legal Bases Do We Rely On to Process Your Personal Information?

In short, we only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary. We have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to enter into or fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.

This section applies to you if you are in the EU or UK.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

  • Consent: We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Learn more about withdrawing your consent.
  • Legal Obligations: We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, such as cooperating with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercising or defending our legal rights, or disclosing your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
  • Vital Interests: We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as in situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.

We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:

  • If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained promptly.
  • For investigations, fraud detection, and prevention.
  • For business transactions, certain conditions are provided.
  • If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim.
  • Identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin.
  • If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be the victim of financial abuse.
  • Suppose it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent. In that case, it will compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information, and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province.
  • If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records.
  • If an individual produced it during their employment, business, or profession, the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced.
  • If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes.
  • If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations.
  1. When and With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?

In short, we may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.

We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

  • Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with or during negotiations of any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
  • Affiliates: We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require them to honor this privacy notice. Affiliates include our parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies we control or are under common control.
  • Business Partners: We may share your information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions.
  • Offer Wall: Our application(s) may display a third-party hosted "offer wall." Such an offer wall allows third-party advertisers to offer users virtual currency, gifts, or other items in return for the acceptance and completion of an advertisement offer. Such an offer wall may appear in our application(s) and be displayed based on certain data, such as your geographic area or demographic information. When you click on an offer wall, you will be brought to an external website belonging to other persons and leave our application(s). A unique identifier, such as your user ID, will be shared with the offer wall provider to prevent fraud and properly credit your account with the relevant reward.

 

  1. Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?

In short, we may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Our Cookie Notice provides specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies.

  1. How Do We Handle Your Social Logins?

In short, if you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our Services allow you to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or Twitter logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned but will often include your name, email address, friends list, profile picture, and other information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes described in this privacy notice or otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control and are not responsible for other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend reviewing their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

In short, we may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than yours.

Our servers are located in [country]. If you are accessing our Services from outside [country], please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see "When and With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?" above) in and other countries.

They reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland. These countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or laws that are as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.

  1. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

In short, we keep your information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us to keep your personal information for longer than [time period].

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. Suppose this is impossible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives). In that case, we will securely store it and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

  1. Do We Collect Information from Minors?

In short, we do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18.

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to delete such data from our records promptly. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under the age of 18, please contact us at legal@darkex.com.

  1. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

In short, in some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

You have certain rights under applicable data protection laws in some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada). These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information; (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to processing your personal information.

You can make such a request by contacting us using the contact details provided in the "How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?" section below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Suppose you are located in the EEA or UK and believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information. In that case, you also have the right to complain to your Member State data protection authority or UK data protection authority.

If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent, depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent anytime by contacting us using the contact details provided in the "How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?" section below.

However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Account Information: If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can log in to your account settings and update your user account. Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms, and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.

  1. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers, mobile operating systems, and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference and not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

  1. Do We Make Updates to This Notice?

In short, we will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date, and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
