The information we collect includes:

Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance data our servers automatically collect when you access or use our Services and which we record in log files.

Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can either be precise or imprecise.

In Short:We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason 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.

If you are located in the EU or the UK, this section applies to you.

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

Consent. We may process your personal information if you have given us permission (consent) to do so for a specific purpose. You may withdraw your consent at any time. Learn more about withdrawing your consent.
Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services to you or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
Legitimate Interests. We may process your personal information when we believe that it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
- Send users information about special offers and discounts on our products and services.
- Develop and display personalized and relevant advertising content for our users.
- Analyze how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users.
- Support our marketing activities.
- Understand how our users use our products and services so we can improve user experience.
Legal Obligations. We may process your personal information where we believe it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your personal information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
Vital Interests. We may process your personal information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as 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 personal information if you have given us specific permission (express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in a situation where your permission can be inferred (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 personal information without your consent, including, for example:

If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way.
For investigations and fraud detection and prevention.
For business transactions provided certain conditions are met.
If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim.
For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with the next of kin.
If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be a victim of financial abuse.
If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would 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 it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and 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.

When and With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?

In Short: We may share your information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.

Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents (“third parties'') who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which we designed to safeguard your personal information. This means they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct. The categories of third parties we may share personal information with are as follows:

Cloud Computing Services
Communication and Collaboration Tools
Data Analytics Services
Data Storage Service Providers
Order Fulfillment Service Providers
Payment Processors

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 Policy unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as taxes, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such personal information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your personal information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security measures and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your personal information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

Do We Collect Information From Minors?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under the age of 18.

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age, or that you are the parent or legal 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 steps to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under 18, please contact us at privacy@thecybermaniacs.com.

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.

In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable Data Protection laws. These may include the right:

To request access and obtain a copy of your personal information.
To request correction or erasure of your personal information.
To restrict processing of your personal information.
To data portability.
To not be subject to automated decision making.

In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. You may make such a request by contacting us by using the contact information provided in the section “How Can Your Contact Us About This Notice?”

We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable Data Protection laws.

If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, 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 personal information, which may be expressed or implied depending on applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the contact details provided in the section “How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?”.

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.

Opting Out Of Marketing And Promotional Communications: You can unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send, or by contacting us using the contact details provided in the section “How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?”. You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you - for example, to send you service related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.

Cookies And Similar Technologies: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at privacy@thecybermaniacs.com.

Controls For Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do Not Track feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preferences not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we currently do not 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 Policy.

6. Storage of personal data

Cybermaniacs Ltd is a UK-domiciled organisation whose primary offices are in the UK.

Our websites and web applications are hosted in the EU.

Our customer relationship management, marketing and accounting systems for all our businesses are either EU-based or hosted by companies participating in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework.

We use a wide range of CSPs (Cloud service providers) as part of our processing environment. Unless we specifically state otherwise, we are, in respect of all these CSPs, the data controller.

Unless we specifically state otherwise, all the CSPs that we use utilise EU-located processing facilities.

Our payment processors and banking arrangements are based in the EU.

We ship and deliver physical products around the world; we therefore use logistics companies that are based outside the EU and operate in other countries. We have appropriate legal and security relationships with those partners.

We operate a data retention policy in respect of all data, whether paper-based or digital, and those aspects of it that relate to personal data are contained in the table at 5, above.

7. Security measures

We have what we believe are appropriate security controls in place to protect personal data. We do not, however, have any control over what happens between your device and the boundary of our information infrastructure. You should be aware of the many information security risks that exist and take appropriate steps to safeguard your own information. We accept no liability in respect of breaches that occur beyond our sphere of control.

8. Your rights as a data subject

As a data subject whose personal information we hold, you have certain rights.
