INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU

We may collect and process the following information about you:

Information you provide to us

You may provide us with information in several ways, including by filling in forms on our websites and services, or by corresponding with us by phone and email. This includes information you provide when you register for an account or report problems with our services.

The personal information that you provide may include your name, address, email address, phone number, and other information about you to enable us to provide you with our services.

Information we collect about you

When you use our websites we automatically collect information about your PC or device, including your IP address, information about your visit (including how you got to our websites) and how you use our services.

Information we receive from other sources

If you use any of the other websites or services we may receive information about you or your device in relation to that use, including your IP address, information about your visits and how you use our services.

We work closely with third parties (for example, advertising networks, analytics providers and search information providers) and may receive information about you from them. This could include socio-demographic information and information about your likely interests based on your previous web browsing and purchases. We may combine this information with other information you have provided to us or which we collected about you.

We use personal information about you in connection with the following purposes:

  • Providing our services to you and fulfilling your requests
  • Providing you with the information, products and services you request from us.
  • Marketing and advertising
  • Providing you and others with information about goods and services that we offer that we think may interest you, which may be based on inferences about your or their likely interests based on your activity on websites operated by AuriQ.
  • Customizing or enhancing your experience of our services, which may use inferences about your likely interests based on your activity on websites operated by AuriQ.
  • Delivering relevant advertising to you on websites operated by AuriQ or in direct communications from us, which may use inferences about your likely interests based on your activity on websites operated by AuriQ.
  • Measuring and understanding the effectiveness of advertising we serve to you and others.

  • Protecting our interests as part of our efforts to keep our services safe and secure.
  • Managing and operating your account with us.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

Our legal basis for processing your personal information for the purposes described above will typically be one of the following:

Contract
It is necessary for us to process your personal information to perform a contract to which you are a party, or to take steps at your request prior to you entering into a contract.

Consent
You have consented to us using your personal information for this purpose (for example, when you create an account with us, agree to receive marketing emails from us or create an alert). You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting the information from your account or updating your marketing preferences.

Legitimate interests
It is in our legitimate interests to use your personal information to operate, improve and promote our services (for example, when we customize your experience of our services or use your information for analytics purposes) and to protect our business.

Legal obligations
It is necessary for us to use your personal information for us to comply with a legal obligation.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not as a matter of practice share your personal information except in the following circumstances:

Advertisers and advertising networks: to serve relevant adverts to you and others
We may provide your personal information to our partner advertisers and advertising networks that require that information to select and serve relevant adverts to you and others.

Analytics and search engine providers: to help us improve our services
We may provide information about your visit to analytics and search engine providers to help us improve and optimize our services. We generally only share this information in a form that does not directly identify you.

We may also share your personal information with third parties for the following reasons:

If we sell or buy any business or assets
If we sell or buy any business or assets, we may disclose your personal information to the prospective seller or buyer of that business or those assets, along with its professional advisers. If AuriQ is acquired, personal information held by it about its users will be one of the transferred assets.

To obtain professional advice
We may disclose your personal information to obtain professional advice (for example, from lawyers or financial advisors).

To comply with a legal obligation
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to a request from law enforcement or another regulatory authority. We may disclose your personal information to enforce our agreements with you or to protect the rights, property or safety of AuriQ, its users or others. This includes sharing personal information with other organisations for fraud prevention purposes.

STORING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We primarily store or process your personal information within the United States. We may transfer, store or process your personal information outside of the United States and outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). The laws in some countries may not provide as much legal protection for your personal information as in the US or the EEA.

By submitting your personal information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. Where we use service providers outside the EEA, we rely on approved data transfer mechanisms (for example, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Privacy Shield) to ensure that your personal information is adequately safeguarded in the recipient country.

Unfortunately, transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure. We will do our best to protect your personal information, but we cannot guarantee its security and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

We keep your personal information for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. These periods vary depending on the nature of the information and your interactions with us. You can delete your AuriQ account at any time using the account settings page.

COOKIES

We use cookies and other similar technologies to distinguish you from other users of our websites (including when you browse third party websites). This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you use our services (for example, to remember your login details and improve our services). We also use cookies and similar technologies to show you more personalized advertising, including AuriQ ads on other websites. You may adjust the settings on your browser to refuse cookies but some of our services may not work if you do so. For detailed information on the cookies we use and why we use them, please read our Cookie Policy.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes. You can do this at any time by updating your email preferences in your AuriQ account or by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in any marketing email we send you. You can also opt out of marketing by emailing support@auriq.com.

Data protection law gives you the right to access your personal information, to object to the use of your personal information for certain purposes, and the right to erase, restrict or receive a machine-readable copy of your personal information. You can access, update and delete your AuriQ account information by logging into your AuriQ account. If you cannot fulfil your request using these tools, please email support@auriq.com or contact us using the address below.

We will handle your request in accordance with the law. This means there may be legal reasons why we cannot fulfil all requests.

LINKS TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

Our websites may contain links to other websites. This privacy policy does not apply to those other websites and we do not accept liability for the content of any other website. Please check the privacy policy of any other website before submitting any personal information to it.
