Cookies or Browser Cookies: A cookie is a small file placed on your Device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

Cookies can be “Persistent” or “Session” cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while Session Cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

We use both Session and Persistent Cookies for the purposes set out below:

Use of Your Personal Data

The Company may use your Personal Data for the following purposes:

To provide and maintain our Service: We use the information to enable you to access and use the Website and Services, to provide customer support, and to ensure the proper functioning and security of our Service. This includes monitoring the usage of our Service and preventing or addressing technical issues.
To manage your Account: We use Personal Data to manage your registration as a user of the Service. The Personal Data you provide can give you access to different functionalities of the Service that are available to you as a registered user.
For the performance of a contract: Your Personal Data may be used for the development, compliance, and undertaking of any purchase or contract for products, services, or features you have requested or purchased through the Service.
To contact you: We may use your contact information (email address, telephone number, SMS, or other electronic communication means such as push notifications) to contact you with updates, important notices, or informative communications related to the functionalities, products, or services you’ve signed up for or purchased, including security updates when necessary or reasonable for their implementation.
To provide you with news and offers: We may use your information to provide you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, and other information about goods or services we offer that are similar to those you have already purchased or inquired about. You will have the option to opt out of receiving these communications if you prefer not to receive them.
To manage your requests: We use your information to attend to and manage any requests or inquiries you direct to us (for example, customer support inquiries or requests exercising your data protection rights).
For business transfers: We may use your information to evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets. In such transactions or contemplation of such transactions, Personal Data held by us about our users may be among the assets transferred.
For other purposes: We may use your information for other legitimate business purposes, such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, improving or modifying our Service and products, and enhancing your overall experience.

We may share your personal information in the following situations:

With Service Providers: We may share your personal information with third-party service providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service, to help support or maintain our Service, or to contact you on our behalf. For example, we might use service providers for website analytics, email delivery, payment processing, or customer support. These service providers will be given access to your Personal Data only to perform tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
For business transfers: We may share or transfer your personal 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 by another company. If such a transaction occurs, we will provide notice if your Personal Data becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
With Affiliates: We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require those affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. Affiliates include any other companies that we control, that control us, or that are under common control with us (such as subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies in our corporate group).
With Business Partners: We may share your information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions in conjunction with or through those partners.
With other users: If you voluntarily share personal information or content in public areas of the Service (for example, posting in a community forum or in product reviews), such information can be viewed by all users and may be publicly distributed outside the Service. Please be mindful of this when sharing any information in public areas.
With your consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your explicit consent. For instance, if you agree to let us share your information with a third-party for a particular purpose, we will do so only for that purpose and only with your permission.

Retention of Your Personal Data

The Company will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We will retain and use your Personal Data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to keep your data to comply with applicable tax or financial laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

The Company will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally kept for a shorter period of time than Personal Data, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally required to retain this data for longer time periods. For example, we might retain certain usage logs for a few months for troubleshooting and security purposes, unless we need to hold them longer to comply with legal obligations.

Transfer of Your Personal Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be processed at the Company’s operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. This means that your information could be transferred to — and maintained on — computers or servers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside of Brazil and choose to provide information to us, please note that we may transfer the data, including Personal Data, to Brazil or to other countries where our service providers or affiliates operate, and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We will not transfer your Personal Data to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place, including the security of your data and other personal information, and unless it is legally permitted. This means that when we transfer personal data internationally, we will rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, or ensure the country has adequate data protection laws, or obtain your consent as required by applicable law.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

Business Transactions

If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred to the new owner or successor entity. We will provide notice before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy, so you are aware of the change in control of your information.

Law Enforcement

Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (for example, a court order, subpoena, or government regulatory request). We will evaluate each request to ensure it is legally valid and only provide the minimum data necessary to comply with the law.

Other Legal Requirements

The Company may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

Comply with a legal obligation (such as laws, regulations, legal process, or enforceable governmental request).
Protect and defend the rights or property of the Company (including enforcing our agreements, policies, and Terms of Service).
Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service (for instance, suspected fraud or security issues).
Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public (for example, in the case of an emergency or to report illegal activity).
Protect against legal liability (such as defending against claims in legal proceedings).

Security of Your Personal Data

The security of your Personal Data is important to us. We employ commercially acceptable means and industry-standard security measures to protect your Personal Data. This includes measures to secure the data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.

However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your Personal Data and use commercially acceptable means to do so, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You share and transmit information at your own risk, and you should also take steps to protect yourself online (such as using strong passwords, not sharing account credentials, and logging out of shared devices).

Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If you are under 13, please do not use the Service or provide any information on this Website.

If you are a parent or guardian and you become aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data without your consent, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take prompt steps to remove that information from our servers.

In cases where we rely on consent as a legal basis to process your information and your country requires consent from a parent for minors, we will require your parent’s consent before we collect and use that information from anyone under the relevant age.

Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link (for example, to an article, a social media site, or an external service), you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit, because we are not responsible for the practices of other sites.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by Bitcoinize.com and the services we provide. When you navigate to external sites, those sites’ own terms and policies will apply.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. In some cases, we may also notify you via email and/or by placing a prominent notice on our Website prior to the change becoming effective, if the changes are material.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective once they are posted on this page, unless otherwise indicated. Your continued use of the Service after any changes or revisions to this Privacy Policy indicates your agreement with the terms of the revised Privacy Policy.
