6. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

Our users’ personal information is an important and fundamental part of our business. Under no circumstances will we sell or share information with third parties that has not been previously authorized by the user, client or owner of the personal data. We share user information solely and exclusively as described below.

Third Party Service Providers. We use third-party services to perform certain functions on our platform. Some of these functions and services are: hosting the application in the application stores (App Store and Google Play), payment processing (Stripe), storage services (Firebase), sending emails, advertising services (Google) and performing monitoring and analysis functions on the platform.
These third-party services and tools may have access to personal information necessary to perform their functions, but they may not use that information for other purposes. Information shared with these third-party services will be treated and stored in accordance with their respective privacy policies and our privacy policy. 

Newsletter and email communications: By providing us with your email address, you consent and agree that we may send you marketing content and newsletters, notifications and information related to the content of our platform. Therefore, your email address may be shared with third-party bulk email services for the sole and exclusive purpose of sending you relevant communications. If you wish to stop receiving communications from Unite, you can unsubscribe at any time using the “unsubscribe” option available in the same emails or by sending your request through our contact information.

Business transfers. In case Unite creates, merges with or is acquired by another entity, your information will most likely be transferred. Unite will send you an email or place a prominent notice on our platform before your information becomes subject to another privacy policy.
Protection of Unite and others. We disclose personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements, or protect the rights, property or safety of Unite, our users or others. This includes sharing information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

With your consent. Other than as noted above, you will receive notice when your personally identifiable information may go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to opt out of sharing the information.

Anonymous information. Unite uses anonymous browsing information automatically collected by our servers primarily to help us administer and improve the platform. We may also use anonymous aggregate information to provide information about the Platform to potential business partners and other unaffiliated entities. This information is not personally identifiable.

 

7. PROTECTION OF YOUR DATA

We only grant access to your personal information to those people or external services who have a legitimate need to know and in accordance with our privacy policy. We adhere to industry-recognized security standards to protect your personal information, both during transmission and storage. 

However, it is important to note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is foolproof and 100% secure. Therefore, while Unite strives to implement commercially viable data protection methods, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. We are committed not to sell, distribute or transfer your personal data to unauthorized third parties, unless we have your explicit consent or are required by law to do so.

 

8. DATA BREACH NOTIFICATIONS

In the event of a security breach that compromises the confidentiality of our users’ personal data, Unite undertakes to promptly notify those affected. This notification will be made through the contact means that have been provided by the user on our platform. We will take all reasonable measures to protect information and remedy any situation that jeopardizes the security of your data.

 

9. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER

By using our platform, you agree that your personal data may be transferred and processed outside your home country, where data protection laws may differ. This is because we may use storage services that may have servers located outside your country of origin. Unite is committed to taking the necessary steps to ensure that your data is treated in accordance with applicable privacy protection regulations and is adequately protected during any international transfers.

 

10. RIGHTS

Users who provide information through our platform, as interested parties and data owners, have the right to access, rectify, download or delete their information, as well as to restrict and oppose certain processing of their information.

Access and portability: To access and know what information is stored on our servers, you can send us your request through our contact information.
Rectify, restrict, limit and/or delete: You can also rectify, restrict, limit or delete much of your information.
Right to be informed: Users of our platform will be informed, upon request, what data we collect, how it is used, how long it is kept and whether it is shared with third parties.

Object: Where we process your information based on our legitimate interests, as explained above, or in the public interest, you may object to this processing in certain circumstances. In such cases, we will stop processing your information unless we have compelling legitimate reasons to continue processing it or where it is necessary for legal reasons.

Revoke consent: Where you have previously given your consent, for example to allow us to process and store your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing and storage of your information at any time. For example, you can withdraw your consent by updating your settings. In certain cases, we may continue to process your information after you have withdrawn your consent if we have a legal basis for doing so or if your withdrawal of consent was limited to certain processing activities.

Complaint: If you wish to make a complaint about our use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so to your local supervisory authority. Users can exercise all these rights by contacting us through the contact information.

Rights related to automated decision making, including profiling: Users may request that we provide them with a copy of the automated processing activities we carry out if they believe that data is being processed unlawfully.

Users or holders of personal data provided through the platform may exercise these rights over their personal data at any time and without any limitation, by sending their request through our contact information. The request to exercise your rights will be attended to and answered within a maximum period of 10 business days.

 

11. RIGHT TO FILE A CLAIM

If you consider that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to file a claim with a supervisory authority. If you are in the European Union, you can do so to the local data protection authority in your country or directly to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) in Spain. If you are in Argentina, you can present your claim to the Agency for Access to Public Information (AAIP).

If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will take immediate steps to delete such information and restrict access to that user.
