Products provided by your organization - notice to end users

If you use a third party product, site or email address to access Metallika Products, Services and Features and that product, site or email address was provided by an organization you are affiliated with, such as an employer or school, that organization can:

• Control and administer your Metallika Products, Services and Features and accounts associated therewith, including controlling privacy-related settings of the product or product account; and
• Access and process your data, including the interaction data, diagnostic data, and the contents of your communications and files associated with your Metallika Products, Services and Features and accounts associated therewith.

If you lose access to your work or school account (in event of change of employment, for example), you may lose access to products and the content associated with those products, including those you acquired on your own behalf, if you used your work or school account to sign in to such products.

If your organization provides you with access to Metallika Products, Services and Features, your use of Metallika Products, Services and Features is subject to your organization's policies, if any. You should direct your privacy inquiries, including any requests to exercise your data protection rights, to your organization’s administrator. Metallika is not responsible for your privacy or security practices, which may differ from those set forth in this privacy statement.

Security of Personal Data

Metallika uses a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When we transmit highly confidential data over the internet, we protect it using encryption. Metallika complies with applicable data protection laws, including applicable security breach notification laws.

Where We Store and Process Personal Data

Personal data collected by Metallika may be stored and processed in your region and in any other country where Metallika or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers operate facilities. Typically, the primary storage location is in the customer’s region, The United Kingdom and/or Iceland, often with a backup to a data center in another region. The storage location(s) are chosen in order to operate efficiently, to improve performance, and to create redundancies in order to protect the data in the event of an outage or other problem. We take steps to ensure that the data we collect under this privacy statement is processed according to the provisions of this statement and the requirements of applicable law wherever the data is located.

We transfer personal data from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to other countries, some of which have not yet been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection. For example, their laws may not guarantee you the same rights, or there may not be a privacy supervisory authority there that can address your complaints. When we engage in such transfers, we use a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts, to help ensure your rights and protections travel with your data.

If you have a question or complaint related to participation by Metallika in the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield, we encourage you to contact us via email.

Our Retention of Personal Data

Metallika retains personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Metallika Products, Services and Features and fulfill the transactions you have requested, or for other legitimate purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different data types, the context of our interactions with you or your use of products, actual retention periods can vary significantly.

Collection of Data From Children

When Metallika Products, Services and Features collect age data, and there is an age in your jurisdiction under which parental consent or authorization is required to use the product, the product will either block users under that age or will ask them to provide consent or authorization from a parent or guardian before they can use it. We will not knowingly ask children under that age to provide more data than is required to provide for the Metallika Product, Service and Feature. Once parental consent or authorization is granted, the child's account is treated much like any other account.

Changes to this Privacy Statement

We update this privacy statement when necessary to provide greater transparency or in response to feedback, changes to Metallika Products, Services and Features, and changes to our data processing activities or policies. When we post changes to this statement, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of the statement. If there are material changes to the statement, such as a change to the purposes of processing of personal data that is not consistent with the purpose for which it was originally collected, we will notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes before they take effect or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to learn how Metallika is protecting your information.
