Children’s Privacy: We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13, nor do we allow them to create accounts, sign up for newsletters, make purchases, or browse the Service. In addition, we may limit how we collect, use, and store some of the information of EU users between 13 and 16. DV takes children’s privacy seriously and encourages parents to play an active role in their children’s online experience at all times. We urge parents to instruct their children never to give out their real names, addresses, or phone numbers, without parental permission, when online. If you have any concerns about your child’s personal information, please contact us at info@dataverse.gr
“Do Not Track” Signals: Because there’s not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based or other “do not track” mechanisms yet, we do not respond to web browser-based do not track signals.
5. Transfer of your Information out of the EEA
DV is based in Greece. No matter where you are located, you consent to the processing, transfer and storage of your information in and to Greece, the U.S., and other countries where our third-party service providers are located, in accordance with the privacy policies of third parties with whom we share your personal information. The laws of Greece, the U.S., and these other countries governing data collection and use may not be as comprehensive or protective as the laws of the country where you live. If you would like further information, please contact us (see “How to contact us” below).
6. EU Residents – Your Rights
Under the laws of some jurisdictions, including the General Data Protection Regulation in the EEA, you have a number of important rights with regard to your Personal Information.
• By law, you can ask us what information we hold about you, and you can ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate. If we have asked for your consent to process your personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
• If we are processing your personal data for reasons of consent or to fulfill a contract, you can ask us to give you a copy of the information in a machine-readable format so that you can transfer it to another provider.
• If we are processing your personal data for reasons of consent or legitimate interest, you can request that your data be erased.
• You have the right to ask us to stop using your information for a period of time, if you believe we are not doing so lawfully.
• Finally, in some circumstances, you can ask us not to reach decisions affecting you using automated processing or profiling. If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please email us at info@dataverse.gr . We may ask for additional verification information, such as your username and other information required to be sure that you are the owner of that data.
7. Keeping your Personal Information secure
We have taken steps to put appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorized way. For example, we limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner. We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
8. Resolving Disputes
We hope that we can resolve any questions or concerns you raise about our use of your Personal Information. Please contact us via the methods listed below in the section entitled “How to contact us” to let us know about any of your questions or concerns, and we will get back to you to resolve the issue.
