Effective date: 30 June 2020

Your privacy is critically important to us.

It is Blockchainix’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website or the Blockchainix Platform. This Privacy Policy applies to https://blockchainix.co and any subdomain of Blockchainix.com (hereinafter, “us” or “we”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through us. We have adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain what information may be collected on our Website or Services, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and our Services.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and conditions posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website and Services.

THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION ("GDPR")

Residents of the EEA may be entitled to other rights under the GDPR. These rights are summarized below. We may require you to verify your identity before we respond to your requests to exercise your rights. If you are entitled to these rights, you may exercise these rights with respect to your Personal Data that we collect and store:

  • The right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time (please note that this might prevent you from using certain aspects of the Services);
  • The right of access your Personal Data;
  • The right to request a copy of your Personal Data;
  • The right to correct any inaccuracies in your Personal Data;
  • The right to erase your Personal Data;
  • The right to data portability, meaning to request a transfer of your Personal Data from us to any other person or entity as chosen by you;

You may exercise these rights free of charge. These rights will be exercisable subject to limitations as provided for by the GDPR. Any requests to exercise the above listed rights may be made to: support@commendo.io.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses: We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give Personal Data the same protection it has in the EEA.
  • Privacy Shield. Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to Personal Data shared between the Europe and the US.

For additional information on the mechanisms used to protect your Personal Data, please contact us at support@commendo.io.

MANAGING YOUR INFORMATION

If you would like to manage, change, limit, or delete your information, we allow you to do that through the following tools:

  • Services Settings. You can change your Services settings to manage certain information available to other users. You can manage your contacts, groups, and broadcast lists, or use our block feature to manage the users with whom you communicate.
  • Changing Your Mobile Phone Number, Profile Name and Picture, and Status Message. You must change your mobile phone number using our in-app change number feature and transfer your account to your new mobile phone number. You can also change your profile name, profile picture, and status message at any time.
  • Deleting Your Blockchainix Account. You may delete your Blockchainix account at any time (including if you want to revoke your consent to our use of your information) using our in-app delete my account feature. When you delete your Blockchainix account, your undelivered messages are deleted from our servers as well as any of your other information we no longer need to operate and provide our Services. Be mindful that if you only delete our Services from your device without using our in-app delete my account feature, your information may be stored with us for a longer period. Please remember that when you delete your account, it does not affect the information other users have relating to you, such as their copy of the messages you sent them.

WEBSITE VISITORS

Like most website operators, Blockchainix collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Blockchainix’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Blockchainix’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Blockchainix may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Blockchainix also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://blockchainix.co blog posts. Blockchainix only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

GATHERING OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

Certain visitors to Blockchainix’s websites choose to interact with Blockchainix in ways that require Blockchainix to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Blockchainix gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at https://blockchainix.co/ to provide their email address.

SECURITY

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

LINKS TO EXTERNAL SITES

Our Service may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and terms and conditions of every site you visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites, products or services.

PROTECTION OF CERTAIN PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

Blockchainix discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Blockchainix’s behalf or to provide services available at Blockchainix’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Blockchainix’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Blockchainix will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Blockchainix discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Blockchainix believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Blockchainix, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of https://blockchainix.co/ and have supplied your email address, Blockchainix may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Blockchainix and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Blockchainix takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
