4. THIRD PARY SERVICES

This Privacy Policy only applies to personal data that Proxima collects, processes and discloses and does not apply to the collection, processing and disclosure of data by third parties through third-party services, which may be broader than set forth in this Privacy Policy, and that may be embedded into the Service. While we do not directly share your personal data with third parties, in many cases, third-parties may collect personal data about your online activities over time and across different websites and services. We currently use Mailchimp, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and myZone. We strongly recommend that you read all third-party privacy policies carefully before using them. Please contact us directly using the information found below if you would like to learn more about our third-party data practices.

5. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGY

The Service may use tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, JavaScript tags and clear GIFs to collect data about you, such as your IP address and device information. Currently we use Google Analytics. Based on this data, third-parties may be able to resolve your identity across multiple devices. This data is collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy and the applicable third-party privacy policies. Certain Service features may rely on tracking technologies and by declining to accept cookies, disabling JavaScript or by changing certain settings on your device, you may not have access to these features (which may include a loss of access to any forums provided on the Service).

6. OBTAINING, RECTIFYING AND CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You may contact Proxima to obtain a copy of any personal data we collect about you, the production of which may be subject to a fee as permitted by applicable law. In addition, you may contact Proxima to correct inaccurate personal data or to complete incomplete personal data.

You may be able to opt-out of some or all of the ways in which your personal data is processed, or request the deletion of certain personal data, except where the personal data is necessary or vital for:

performance of contractual or legal obligations, such as due to a service agreement you have entered into with Proxima;

protecting your interests or those of another person; and

our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third-party,

and may request deletion by contacting us using the contact information found below.

7. DATA STORAGE AND RETENTION

While most of the personal data we collect is stored securely within the Canada, the data you provide to us through the Service may be stored and processed by third parties in countries around the world, including the United States. You authorize Proxima and third parties acting on our behalf to process your data in any country of their choosing, which may cause your data, including personal data, to be subject to privacy protections and legal rights that may not be equivalent to those in your country.

Your personal data is retained for the shorter of: (a) until you request its deletion; (b) until Proxima no longer requires such data for the purpose for which it was collected; (c) 90 days for server logs which contain IP addresses; or (d) 5 years forum post linked to the Service.

8. DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURE

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web or device setting that allows users to request that receivers of personal data stop their tracking activities. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser or device or use alternative consumer choice mechanisms, your browser or device sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, advertising networks, plug-in providers and other web services you encounter to stop tracking your activity. Currently, there are no DNT technology standards, and it is possible that there may never be any DNT technology standards. As a result, we do not respond to DNT requests.

‍
9. CHILDREN

Proxima does not collect any personal information on individuals under the age of consent in any
jurisdiction. If we learn that we inadvertently collected personal data from a child under the age
of consent beyond allowable legal exceptions, we will delete that data as quickly as possible. If
you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of majority or age of consent in your
jurisdiction, who you believe provided Proxima with personal data without your consent, please
contact us hello@proximahq.io.

10. EUROPEAN USERS AND RIGHTS OF EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA RESIDENTS

When we collect your email and any other account information such as your name and when you desire to access forums provided on the Service, the processing of your personal data is necessary for our provision of the Services to you, as described in Article 6(1)(b) of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”). In other cases, such as when you provide consent to contact you using your contact information, Proxima may collect such personal data pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. For all other personal data collected as mentioned in this Privacy Policy, such as the collection of certain device information and IP addresses, Proxima has a legitimate interest, as described in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, in collecting such personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

A Right to Object. If the processing of your personal data is based on legitimate interests according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR or if your personal data was collected based on your consent according to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless there are compelling and prevailing legitimate grounds for the processing as described in Article 21 of the GDPR; in particular, if the personal data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or if personal data is required for the provision of the Service and you still wish to use the Service.

A Right to file a Complaint. You have the right to file a complaint with the appropriate supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

A Right to Restriction of Processing of your Personal Data. You have the right to obtain restrictions on the processing of your personal data as described in Article 18 of the GDPR.

A Right to Post-Mortem Control of Your Personal Data. Certain jurisdictions grant post-mortem controls of your personal data and if such rights are applicable in your jurisdiction, you may have the right to establish guidelines for the preservation, the deletion and the transmission of your personal data after your death through a will or through your estate.

A Right to Opt-out of Marketing Communications. You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. If you receive any marketing e-mails from us, you can exercise your right to stop such communications by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link on any marketing e-mails Proxima sends you.

We are committed to ensuring that your data is secure. To prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or breach, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the data we collect and process.

13. CONTACT PREFERENCES

We communicate with you primarily through the Service itself, but we may sometimes collect your email address in order to respond to support requests or comments. If you have provided us with your email address and would like to change the email preferences, we associate with you (for example, unsubscribing from receiving certain types of email) you may do so by clicking a link within certain types of emails that we send to you or, if no link is available, by replying with “unsubscribe” in the email title or body or by modifying your email settings within the Service. On rare occasions, some types of email are necessary for the Service and cannot be unsubscribed from if you continue to use the Service.

14. UPDATES

Proxima reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Privacy Policy at any time (each an “Update”) and shall make each Update available on the Website. You are deemed to accept an Update by continuing to use the Service. Unless Proxima states otherwise, an Update is automatically effective 30 days after posting on the Website.
