(3) Affiliate businesses are those businesses with whom we may affiliate to sell our products or Services. We may share information we collect, including Personal Information, with affiliated businesses. Sharing such information with our affiliates enables us to provide you with information about a variety of products and Services that might interest you. We instruct all affiliated businesses to comply with applicable privacy and security laws and, at a minimum, in any commercial e-mail they send to you, to give you the opportunity to choose not to receive such email messages in the future.

We will not share your Personal Information with business partners unless you choose to participate in their offer or program. When you choose to engage in a particular offer or program, you authorize us to share your email address and other Personal Information with the relevant business partner.

General Data Protection Regulation

By way of this Privacy Policy, the Company informs users of its App, Website, and/or Services who are European Union (EU) data subjects of the rights to which they are entitled, and the recourse they may seek if they have any questions regarding the collection, use, and processing of their Personal Information. The processing of Personal Information that is voluntarily supplied by you, or supplied by an authorized third party, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Company. Specifically,

Your Privacy Rights under the GDPR

The GDPR includes the following rights for EU data subjects who provide their information to the Company in connection with the App, Website, and/or Services:

The right to be informed about how we store, use, or share your data;
The right to access your data;
The right to rectify your data;
The right to have us erase your data;

The right to request copies of your data from us5 in a commonly-used and machine-readable format, free of charge, for the purposes of transfer to a third party, where technically feasible;
The right to object to use or sharing of your data; and
The right not to be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling.

NOTE

(5) You may email us with requests at support@ninebx.com.

Data Controller

The “data controller,” as defined under the GDPR, is the legal entity which determines the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Information provided in connection with your use of the App, Website, and/or Services. The Company is the “data controller,” but Apple or Google are the Payments Data Controllers, as the Company does not process any payments itself. The Company is responsible for collecting your consent, managing consent-revoking, enabling right to access, etc. as related to your Personal Information and Account access. If you wish to revoke consent for us to store, use, or share your Personal Information, you may contact us at support@ninebx.com. Upon receipt of your email, we will terminate your Account under the provisions of the Terms of Use.

Data Processor

The GDPR defines “data processor” as the legal entity that processes your Personal Information. The Company is the “data processor.” The Company has not retained any third-party service provider to process your Personal Information. Any processing of Personal Information shall be done solely by the Company. The Company maintains records of any processing activities it performs, and is able to show how the Company complies with data protection principles under the GDPR. It has effective policies and procedures in place. If you have questions regarding the processing of your Personal Data, you may contact us at support@ninebx.com.

Breach

The Company has reasonable internal policies and procedures in place to effectively detect, report, and investigate a data breach. The GDPR defines a Personal Information breach as “a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Information.” The Company will notify you of a Personal Information breach where the Personal Information breaches are likely to present a risk to data subjects to data protection authorities (“DPAs”) without undue delay, and within 72 hours if feasible, after becoming aware of the breach; and communicate high-risk breaches to affected data subjects without undue delay. The Company will provide you with: (i) contact details of the Data Protection Officer (DPO) or other contact person, (ii) a description of the nature of the breach, (iii) likely consequences of the breach, (iv) measures the organization has taken or proposes to take to address the breach, and (v) advice on steps data subjects can take to protect themselves.

Data Protection Officer

The Company is not formally required to designate a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) because it is not: (1) a public authority; (2) an organization that carries out regular and systematic monitoring of individuals on a large scale; or (3) an organization that carries out large scale processing of special categories of data, such as health information or information about criminal convictions. If you have any questions about how the Company protects your data, you may email support@ninebx.com.

Data Retention/Erasure

We will retain your Personal Information, as defined herein, for as long as needed to provide the applicable Services, or for a minimum period of four (4) years. If, at any time after agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you:

(1) change your mind about receiving information from us;

(2) wish to revoke permission for us to retain and use your Personal Information;

(3) wish to object to processing of your Personal Information; or

(4) wish for us to erase a copy of your data, please uninstall the app from all devices, and make a request to the Company at support@ninebx.com.

If you request erasure of your Personal Information, we may retain some of your Personal Information only for legitimate business interests, such as fraud detection, prevention, and enhancing the safety of our App, Website, and/or Services; and to comply with our legal obligations, specifically our tax, legal reporting, and auditing obligations.

Our Response to Your Requests

If you make any requests regarding your Personal Information, we will not charge you for compliance with the request. The Company will respond and comply within one month. The Company reserves the right to refuse or charge for requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive. If we refuse your request, we will tell you why we are refusing your request. You have the right to complain to the relevant supervisory authority and to a judicial remedy, but you must do so within one month of our refusal.

Complaints

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every EU data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement of the data subject considers that the processing of Personal Information relating to him or her infringes this Regulation.

Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)

The Company is not required to undergo a DPIA because data processing is not likely to result in a high risk to data subjects, such as in cases where: (1) new technology is being deployed; (2) profiling operations may significantly affect individuals; or (3) processing is on a large scale and involves special categories of data.

Legitimate Business Interest under the GDPR

Our use of your Personal Information is based on the legitimate business grounds that:

The use is necessary in order to fulfill our commitments to you under our Terms of Use or other agreements with you or is necessary to administer your account – for example, in order to enable access to our App, Website, and/or Services on your device or charge you for our Services;
The use is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation;
The use is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or those of another person or entity;
We have a legitimate interest in using your information – for example, to provide and update our App, Website, and/or Services, to improve our App, Website, and/or Services so that we can offer you an even better user experience, to safeguard our App, Website, and/or Services, to communicate with you, to measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising, and better understand user retention and attrition, to monitor and prevent any problems with our App, Website, and/or Services, and to personalize your experience; and/or
You have given us your consent.

Analytics

We analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movements around the App, Website, and/or Services and gather demographic information about our user base. We and our third party tracking-utility partners use log files to automatically gather certain information, including but not limited to internet protocol (“IP”) addresses, browser and device types, internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data, for analytics purposes.

Google Analytics: As previously mentioned, we and our third party tracking-utility partners use log files on our Website to automatically gather certain information, including but not limited to internet protocol (“IP”) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data, for analytics purposes. On this Website, the Company has integrated the component of Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our Website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of Personal Information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store Personal Information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our Website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such Personal Information, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These Personal Information are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these Personal Information collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our Website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this Website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html . Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link: https://www.google.com/analytics .

Children

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) and its accompanying FTC regulation protect the privacy of American children aged 13 and under, who are using the Internet. The GDPR sets the age at which an EU child can give their own consent in order to process their Personal Data at 16 years of age.

YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE:

(1) AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE, IF YOU ARE THE PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER OR CO-ADMIN;

(2) AT LEAST 16 YEARS OF AGE, IF YOU ARE A SECONDARY ACCOUNT HOLDER INVITED TO USE OUR APP, WEBSITE, AND/OR SERVICES BY THE PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER OR CO-ADMIN; OR

Links to Other Websites

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, such as Google, Apple, Facebook, or Twitter. This Privacy Policy applies only to this Website and the Company’s Services. It does not apply to any third-party sites, such as the ones described above; and the inclusion of a link to said sites does not imply endorsement by us or by our affiliates.

Security

We maintain reasonable and appropriate, although not infallible, security precautions:

Encryption: With NineBx, all your data, whether at rest or in transit, is fully encrypted and cannot be read by anyone other than you. Your data is encrypted and decrypted only at the device level, and only on your authorized device, so only you can see it. Your data is secured using military-grade AES 256-bit encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation with 20,000 iterations. This makes it effectively impossible for anyone to decrypt your data without knowledge of your Master Password.

Master Password: Only you have the key to your data. All encryption and decryption of data requires knowledge of the Master Password which only you as the user know. For your security, the Master Password is never stored on our servers and is never transmitted over the internet.

Multi-factor authentication: In addition to confirming your Master Password, NineBx security requires you to authenticate any new device you use with a time-based one-time password (OTP) that is sent to your registered email.

Lock: For added security, the app is locked whenever it is pushed to the background on your device. Unlocking it requires you to enter a 6-digit Personal Passcode for NineBx that you create at Sign Up. For your convenience, you can enable Face or Touch ID so you do not have to key in this passcode every time, pursuant to your Terms of Service and Privacy Policy with your applicable phone manufacturer.

Cloud Storage: When using a NineBx app, all Personal Information will be stored locally on authenticated user devices. In addition, the Personal Information you provide to the Company is replicated and hosted on servers in the US. Users from other countries acknowledge that they will be transferring their Personal Information into the US when using our App, Website, and/or Services. NineBx servers are currently hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
