1.5Term and termination. This Privacy Policy enters into force on the effective date indicated at the top of the Privacy Policy and remains valid until terminated or updated by us.
1.6Amendments. This Privacy Policy can be changed or updated occasionally to meet the re-quirements and standards. Therefore, you are encouraged to frequently visit this page to be updated about the changes on Polkastream. Modifications will be effective on the day they are posted. The amended version of the Privacy Policy will be posted on this page and, if we have your email address, we will send you a notice about all the changes implemented by us. For significant material changes in the Privacy Policy or, where required by the appli-cable law, we may seek your consent.
In this section, we explain in detail what personal data we collect from you, for what purposes we use it, what technical data is collected automatically when you use Polkastream, and how we communicate with you.
2.1Sources of personal data. We obtain your personal data from the following categories of sources:
2.2Collection of personal data. We comply with data minimisation principles. This means that we collect only a minimal amount of personal data that is necessary for your use of Polkastream. We use your personal data for limited, specified and legitimate purposes ex-plicitly mentioned in this Privacy Policy. We do not repurpose your personal data. This means that we do not use it for any purposes that are different from the purposes for which your personal data was provided. Below, you can find an overview of the types of personal data that we collect, the purposes for which we use it, and the legal bases on which we rely when processing it.
2.3Cookies and other tracking technologies. When you browse Polkastream, we collect your cookie-related data and use other tracking technologies. We use such information to analyze the technical aspects of your use of Polkastream, conduct our marketing cam-paigns, prevent fraud and abuse, and ensure the security of Polkastream. For more infor-mation on our use of cookies and other tracking technologies, please refer to our Cookie Policy . The legal bases on which we rely are 'pursuing our legitimate interests' (i.e., analyze our content and protect Polkastream) and 'your consent'. We will store this data as long as analytics records are necessary for our activities or you withdraw your consent.
2.4Sensitive data. We do not collect or have access to any special categories of personal data ("sensitive data") from you, unless you decide, at your own discretion, to provide such data to us. Sensitive data refers to your health, religious and political beliefs, racial origins, membership of a professional or trade association, or sexual orientation.
2.5Refusal to provide personal data. If you refuse to provide us with your personal data when we ask for it, we may not be able to perform the requested operation and you may not be able to receive the requested information or get our response. Please contact us immediately if you think that any personal data that we collect is excessive or not necessary for the intended purpose.
2.6Your feedback. If you contact us, we may keep records of any questions, complaints, recommendations, or compliments made by you and the response. Where possible, we will de-identify your personal data (i.e., we will remove all personal data that is not necessary for keeping such records).
2.7Aggregate and de-identified data. In case your non-personal data is combined with cer-tain elements of your personal data in a way that allows us to identify you, we will handle such aggregate data as personal data. If your personal data is aggregated or de-identified in a way that it can no longer be associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, it will not be considered personal data and we may use it for any legitimate purpose.
2.8Newsletters. If you sign up for our newsletter, we will inform you about our new services, features of Polkastream, and special offers. You can opt-out from receiving our commercial communication at any time free of charge by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link included in our newsletters or by contacting us directly.
2.9Transactional notices. If we have your email address and it is necessary to do so, we may send you important informational messages, such as order confirmations and updates, requests for more information, payment receipts, invoices, and other technical or adminis-trative emails. Please note that such messages are sent on an "if-needed" basis and they do not fall within the scope of commercial communication that may require your prior consent. You cannot opt-out from service-related notices.
In this section, we explain for how long we keep your data in our systems and how we delete it.
3.1Storage of personal data. We and our data processors store your personal data only for as long as such personal data is required for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or until you request us to update or delete your personal data, whichever comes first. For more details about the period for which each type of personal data is stored, please refer to section 2.2. After your personal data is no longer necessary for its purposes and there is no other legal basis for storing it, we will immediately securely delete your personal data from our systems. We do not store any personal data longer than strictly necessary.
3.2Storage of non-personal data. We retain non-personal data pertaining to you for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This may include storing non-personal data for the period of time needed for us to examine our activities, fulfil our con-tractual obligations, pursue our legitimate interests, conduct audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agree-ments.
3.3Storage as required by law. When we are obliged by law to store your personal data for a certain period of time, we will store your personal data for the time period stipulated by the applicable law and delete the personal data as soon as the required retention period ex-pires.

4.1Disclosure to data processors. We keep your personal data in strict confidentiality. However, if necessary for the intended purpose of your personal data, we will disclose your personal data to entities that provide services on our behalf (our data processors). Your personal data may be shared with entities that provide technical support services to us, such as hosting, payment processing, and email distribution services. We do not sell your personal data to third parties and do not intend to do so in the future. The disclosure of your personal data is limited to the situations when it is required for the following purposes:

The data processors that will have ac-cess to your personal data are:
4.3International transfers. Some of our data processors may be based outside the country where you reside. For example, if you reside in the UK or a country belonging to the Euro-pean Economic Area (EEA), we may need to transfer your personal data outside the UK or the EEA. In case it is necessary to make such a transfer, we will make sure that the country in which our data processor is located guarantees an adequate level of protection for your personal data or we conclude an agreement with it that ensures such protection (e.g., a da-ta processing agreement based pre-approved Standard Contractual Clauses).
4.4Disclosure of non-personal data. Your non-personal data may be disclosed to third par-ties for any purpose as it does not identify you as a natural person. For example, we may share it with prospects or partners for business or research purposes, for improving Pol-kastream, responding to lawful requests from public authorities or developing new products and services.

5.2Security breaches. Although we put our best efforts to protect your personal data, given the nature of communication and information processing technology and the Internet, we cannot be liable for any unlawful destruction, loss, use, copying, modification, leakage, and falsification of your personal data caused by circumstances that are beyond our reasonable control.
