Our Services are not directed to, or intended for use by, anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect any personal information directly from anyone under 18.

HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

enable you to access and use the Platform,
operate, protect, improve, and optimize the Platform and experience, such as by performing analytics and conducting research,
provide customer service,
send you service or support messages, updates, security alerts, and account notifications,
to operate, protect, improve, and optimize the Platform and experience, and personalize and customize your experience, and conduct profiling based on your interactions with the Platform, your profile information and preferences, and other content you submit to the Platform.

We process this personal information for these purposes given our legitimate interest in improving the Platform and our Users’ experience with it, and where it is necessary for the adequate performance of the contract with you.

In limited cases, automated processes may restrict or suspend access to the Platform if such processes detect activity that we think poses a safety or other risk to the Platform, our community, or third parties. If you challenge the decisions based on the automated process, please contact us as provided in the Contact Us section below.

We process this personal information for these purposes given our legitimate interest in protecting the Platform, to measure the adequate performance of our contract with you, and to comply with applicable laws.

SHARING & DISCLOSURE

Compliance with Law, Responding to Legal Requests, Preventing Harm and Protection of our Rights

Unstruk may disclose your information, including personal information, to courts, law enforcement, governmental authorities, tax authorities, or authorized third parties, if and to the extent we are required or permitted to do so by law or if such disclosure is reasonably necessary: (i) to comply with our legal obligations, (ii) to comply with legal process and to respond to claims asserted against Unstruk, (iii) to respond to valid requests relating to a criminal investigation or alleged or suspected illegal activity or any other activity that may expose us, you, or any other of our Users to legal liability, (iv) to enforce and administer our Terms of Service or other agreements with Users, or (v) to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Unstruk, its employees, its Users, or the public.

These disclosures may be necessary to comply with our legal obligations, for the protection of your or another person's vital interests or for the purposes of our or a third party’s legitimate interest in keeping the Platform secure, preventing harm or crime, enforcing or defending legal rights, facilitating the collection of taxes and prevention of tax fraud or preventing damage.

Where appropriate, we may notify Users about legal requests unless: (i) providing notice is prohibited by the legal process itself, by court order we receive, or by applicable law, or (ii) we believe that providing notice would be futile, ineffective, create a risk of injury or bodily harm to an individual or group, or create or increase a risk of fraud upon Unstruk’s property, its Users and the Platform. In instances where we comply with legal requests without notice for these reasons, we will attempt to notify that User about the request after the fact where appropriate and where we determine in good faith that we are no longer prevented from doing so.

Service Providers

Unstruk uses a variety of third-party service providers to help us provide services related to the Platform. Service providers may be located inside or outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). In particular, our service providers are based in North America.

For example, service providers may help us: (i) perform product development, maintenance and debugging, (ii) allow the provision of the Services through third party platforms and software tools (e.g. through the integration with our APIs), (iii) provide customer service, or payments services, or (iv) process, handle or assess insurance claims or other similar claims. These providers have limited access to your personal information to perform these tasks on our behalf, and are contractually bound to protect the personal information and only use the personal information in accordance with our instructions. Unstruk will need to share your information, including personal information, in order to ensure the adequate performance of our contract with you.

Business Transfers

If Unstruk undertakes or is involved in any merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or insolvency event, then we may sell, transfer or share some or all of our assets, including your information in connection with such transaction or in contemplation of such transaction (e.g., due diligence). In this event, we will notify you before your personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Aggregated Data

We may also share aggregated information (information about our Users that we combine together so that it no longer identifies or references an individual user) and other anonymized information for regulatory compliance, industry and market analysis, research, demographic profiling, marketing and advertising, and other business purposes.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Analyzing your Communications

We may review, scan, or analyze your communications on the Platform for fraud prevention, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, investigation, product development, research, analytics, and customer support purposes. In some cases, we may also scan, review, or analyze messages to debug, improve, and expand product offerings. We use automated methods where reasonably possible. However, occasionally we may need to manually review some communications, such as for fraud investigations and customer support, or to assess and improve the functionality of these automated tools. We will not review, scan, or analyze your messaging communications to send third party marketing messages to you, and we will not sell reviews or analyses of these communications.

These activities are carried out based on Unstruk's legitimate interest in ensuring compliance with applicable laws and our Terms, preventing fraud, promoting safety, and improving and ensuring the adequate performance of our services.

Third Party Partners & Integrations

The Platform may contain links to third party websites or services, such as third party integrations, co-branded services, or third party-branded services (“Third Party Partners”). Unstruk doesn’t own or control these Third Party Partners and when you interact with them, you may be providing information directly to the Third Party Partner, Unstruk, or both.

These Third Party Partners will have their own rules about the collection, use, and disclosure of information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of the other websites you visit.

YOUR RIGHTS

You may exercise any of the rights described in this section by sending an email to the contact address provided in Section 10. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity and request before taking further action on your request.

Managing Your Information

You may access and update some of your information through your Account settings. You are responsible for keeping your personal information up-to-date.

Rectification of Inaccurate or Incomplete Information

You have the right to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information about you (and which you cannot update yourself within your Account).

Data Access and Portability

In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to request copies of your personal information held by us. You may also be entitled to request copies of personal information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and/or request us to transmit this information to another service provider (where technically feasible).

Data Retention and Erasure

We generally retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us and to comply with our legal obligations. In certain jurisdictions, you can request to have all your personal information deleted entirely. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:

We may retain some of your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud detection and prevention and enhancing safety. For example, if we suspend an Account for fraud or safety reasons, we may retain certain information from that Account to prevent that User from opening a new Account in the future.

We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, Unstruk may keep some of your information in order to comply with tax, legal reporting and auditing obligations.

Some copies of your information (e.g., log records) may remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.

Because we maintain the Platform to protect from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.

Withdrawing Consent and Restriction of Processing

If we are processing your personal information based on your consent you may withdraw your consent at any time by changing your Account settings or by sending a communication to us specifying which consent you are withdrawing. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal. Additionally, in some jurisdictions, applicable law may give you the right to limit the ways in which we use your personal information, in particular where: (i) you contest the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information; (iii) we no longer need your personal information for the purposes of the processing, but you require the information for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to the processing pursuant to Section 6.6 and pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of Unstruk override your own.

Objection to Processing

In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to require Unstruk not to process your personal information for certain specific purposes (including profiling) where such processing is based on legitimate interest. If you object to such processing Unstruk will no longer process your personal information for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing or such processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Lodging Complaints

You have the right to lodge complaints about our data processing activities by filing a complaint with our office, which can be reached by the “Contact Us” information in Section 10 below or with a supervisory authority.

OPERATING DOMESTICALLY

California & Vermont Residents

Unstruk will not share information it collects about you with its affiliates or third parties (both financial and non-financial), except as required or permitted by your state’s law.

California Privacy Rights

California law permits Users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information (if any) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those third parties. See Section 10 for where to send such requests. Unstruk does not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your prior consent.

SECURITY

We are continuously implementing and updating administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration. Some of the safeguards we use to protect your information are firewalls and data encryption, and information access controls.
