Anonymized and aggregate Personal Data
We may collect data that is already in anonymized form or we may manually anonymize Personal Data collected by the Services so that the Personal Data does not identify you. We may also combine Personal Data with other data so that it doesn’t identify you specifically (“Aggregate Data”). We use and disclose such anonymized information and Personal Data to others for any purpose.
Cookies and similar technologies: When you use our Services, we and the companies we work with, may place Cookies as well and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We 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 Data by applicable law, we also treat these identifiers as Personal Data. 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 Policy. Please note that web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can remove or reject cookies through the settings on your browser or device.

We do not control the cookies set by such partners via third party websites.
Do Not Track: Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that allows you to express your preference regarding tracking by advertisers and other third parties. We do not currently recognize DNT signals. Furthermore, Live Planet does not track its customers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to DNT signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, you can set the DNT signal on your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked. If you would like to learn more about DNT, go here: https://allaboutdnt.com/.

This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States if we believe in good faith that we are required to so by law, regulation or other government authority in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards.
To prevent harm: We may also access, preserve and share information if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to detect, prevent and address fraud or other illegal activity; to protect Live Planet, our Services, you and others, or to prevent death or imminent bodily harm.

7. How we protect your Personal Data
Security measures: We will take appropriate physical, technical, and organization measures generally consistent with industry practice, to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration and destruction. We may use password protection, encryption, secure socket layers, and firewalls.
8 . Children’s privacy . Live Planet’s Services are intended for general audience and not children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 16 and should we become aware of such collection, we will take reasonable steps to delete any such information as soon as possible.
9. Data Retention
We will only keep your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers, such as payment data, generally for seven years after they stop being customers for tax purposes. Please note that we may retain information that is otherwise deleted in anonymized and aggregated form, in archived or backup copies as required pursuant to records retention obligations, or otherwise as required by law.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data; see Your legal rights below for further information.
10. Additional Personal Data for international users
While Live Planet is an international business, we operate primarily in the United States, and as a result regardless of where you use our Services or otherwise provide information to us, the information we collect may be transferred to and maintained on servers located in the United States. The laws, regulations and standards of the country in which this information is stored may be different from your own country. The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) allows for transfer of Personal Data from the European Union to a third country in certain situations. By consenting and agreeing to the terms of use and this Privacy Policy, you agree to the transfer of all such information to the United States of America which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in other countries, particularly the European Union, and to the processing of that information by Live Planet on servers located in the United States of America as described in this Privacy Policy. In our discretion, we may adopt other means, such as entering into data processing agreements that include the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or enter into different certification programs under applicable law for ensuring adequate safeguards. If you wish to execute a data processing agreement with us, please contact us.
11. Your Rights
If the General Data Protection Regulation applies to you because you are in the European Union, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Data:
• The right to be informed – that’s an obligation on us to inform you how we use your Personal Data (and that’s what we’re doing that in this privacy policy);
• The right of access – that’s a right to make what’s known as a ‘data subject access request’ for copy of the Personal Data we hold about you;
• The right to rectification – that’s a right to make us correct Personal Data about you that may be incomplete or inaccurate;
• The right to erasure – that’s also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’ where in certain circumstances you can ask us to delete the Personal Data we have about you (unless there’s an overriding legal reason we need to keep it);
• The right to restrict processing – that’s a right for you in certain circumstances to ask us to suspend processing Personal Data;
• The right to data portability – that’s a right for you to ask us for a copy of your Personal Data in a common format (for example, a .csv file);
• The right to object – that’s a right for you to object to us processing your Personal Data (for example, if you object to us processing your data for direct marketing); and
• Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling – that’s a right you have for us to be transparent about any profiling we do, or any automated decision making.
These rights are subject to certain rules around when you can exercise them. You can see a lot more information on them, if you are interested, on the UK Personal Data Commissioner’s Office website.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at [email protected].
You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact us at [email protected].
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the supervisory authority for data protection issues in your country of residence. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the supervisory authority so please contact us in the first instance.
