Providing your Personal Information and allowing us to use it in accordance with this privacy policy is optional. However, if you choose not to provide necessary Personal Information, we may be unable to provide you with certain Services.
If possible, we will collect personal information from you directly. However, we may receive Personal Information about you from a third party (including via publicly available sources), and by accessing and using the Website or Services you will be deemed to have authorised such third parties to provide us with this information.

How do we use your personal information?

We process Personal Information:
- to provide our Website and Services and otherwise carry out our obligations under our contracts with our service providers, licensors and customers;

We may also use Personal Information collected for such other purposes that are compatible with the original purpose described above, or that the relevant individual has otherwise consented to from time to time.
We may anonymize and aggregate information such that no person could be re-identified from the information. This aggregated and anonymized data is not Personal Information and this privacy policy does not apply to it.
If you are based in the European Union or the United Kingdom at the time we are processing your Personal Information, you have the right to object to the way we process your Personal Information where the processing is based on legitimate interests.

We may disclose Personal Information to:
- service providers, licensees, partners and suppliers who provide necessary data, goods and/or services to us or help us market and sell the Service;

- other third parties to anonymize and aggregate statistical information;

- a person who can require us to supply Personal Information (e.g. a regulatory authority or law enforcement agency); and
- any other person or entity that we have been validly authorized to disclose information to.
International transfers
Mindhive is located in New Zealand, so your Personal Information may be transferred and/or stored there. For the purposes of the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR, New Zealand has been recognized as providing adequate protection.
We use the services of entities in various countries (including, New Zealand, Brazil, Mexico, United States of America, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, South Africa, Japan, Australia). Consequently, we may transfer Personal Information to parties located in these countries. Although we will endeavour to ensure that Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy as well as Applicable Privacy Laws, we advise that some of these countries may not have an equivalent level of data protection laws as those in New Zealand.
Third party services
We use third party services for providing the Website and Services, to ensure a better experience for users and for improving the Website and Services. In the process of doing so, the third party service provider may have access to Personal Information. However, these third parties do not have the right to use the Personal Information for their own use.
Protecting your personal information
We will take reasonable steps to keep your Personal Information safe from loss, unauthorized activity, or other misuse.
Internet use
While we take reasonable steps to maintain secure internet connections, if you provide us with personal information over the internet, the provision of that information is at your own risk.
If you follow a link on our website to another site, the owner of that site will have its own privacy policy relating to your personal information. We suggest you review that site's privacy policy before you provide personal information.
How long we keep your personal information
We will keep Personal Information:
-
until we no longer have a valid reason for keeping it;
-
until the relevant individual requests us to stop using it; or
-
or as long as required by law e.g., we keep invoice information for 7 years to fulfil our tax obligations.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
