Your privacy is important to us.
To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

Transfer of your personal information from the EEA
Given that the internet is a global environment, using the internet to collect and process personal information involves the transmission of data on an international basis. The use of this website resulting in the transfer of personal information from the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland to non-EEA countries is in accordance with this Privacy Policy and your continued use of our Services. Therefore, by using this website or any Service, You agree to the transfer, storage or use of your personal information outside your country of residence to any country (including without limitation the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia) where We have facilities or We engage third parties (such as payment processors, cloud service providers, or other IT providers and other companies that provide services as We request). You understand that the countries to which We may transfer personal information may not have as comprehensive data protection requirements as does your country.
Where Australia’s Privacy Act applies to your personal information, You agree that we will not be responsible for a third-party’s breach or mishandling of your personal information, and You agree not to seek redress from us.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We disclose your personal information to third parties who provide some of our Services through contractual arrangements or where sharing of personal information is necessary to operate our website, and to our affiliated companies to share their services with You.

We may also share personal information as otherwise described to You at the point of collection.
Where Required or Permitted By law
We may disclose personal information (i) if it is required by law enforcement or judicial authorities; (ii) if We have a good faith belief that We are required or permitted to do so by law or legal process; or (iii) to protect the rights, reputation, property or safety of joytree.io.

Our Commitment To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
We take the security of your information very seriously, and use industry accepted tools and procedures that protect the files in our data system.
However, due to the open communication nature of the Internet we cannot guarantee that all communication, either from you to us, or from us to you, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties, nor can we be responsible for information stolen from our servers by information harvesting software which may have the ability to scrape data. It is important for You to also protect yourself against unauthorized access to your password and to your device.
Your Rights and Choices
Where applicable laws provide, You may have certain rights with respect to your personal information as further described in this section. If You would like further information regarding your data subject rights, or You would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact Us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section at the end of this Privacy Policy.
You can tell Us to not contact You with promotional information regarding our Services and those of third parties either at the point information is requested on our website (by checking or un-ticking, as directed, the relevant box) or by following the “unsubscribe” instructions on promotional communications sent to You.
Where applicable, You may request that We:
provide access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we hold about You.
prevent the processing of your personal information for direct-marketing purposes (including any direct marketing processing based on profiling).

(where reasonable), restrict the way that We process and disclose certain of your personal information.
provide You your personal information.
cease processing of your personal information.
delete certain information which We are holding about You (request that you be forgotten).
In some circumstances, for example, if We need to continue processing Your personal information for our legitimate interests or to comply with a legal obligation, we may not be able to grant your requests. An exercise of the right to be forgotten will result in your inability to use the website and/or Service, and will break any linkage between your prior account and your historical engagement data.
Requests & Responses:
We may request You provide Us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to your request. In the case of access and correction requests, please provide as much detail as You can about the particular personal data You seek, in order to help us locate it.
We will consider all requests and provide our response within the time period stated by applicable law.
Where We decide not to make a requested correction to your personal data and You disagree, You may ask us to make a note of your requested correction with the personal information we hold.
Our Commitment To Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important.
For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 18, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 18.
If You have reason to believe that any personal information has been submitted to Us by a child under thirteen, contact Us and upon verification of each claim, We will delete that personal information as soon as possible.
Third party links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website.
These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.
California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance
Because we value your privacy we have taken the necessary precautions to be in compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act.
We therefore will not distribute your personal information to outside parties without your consent.

You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by contacting us via email at info@joytree.io.
We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.
You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows error.
To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
Change of Control or Sale
We may share your personal information in the event our business or Service is sold, as part of a merger or change in control, or in preparation for these events. Any successor entity will have the right to continue to use your personal information.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change or amend our Privacy Policies at any time in order to address new issues relating to privacy and information security, and will immediately post those changes to our website.
Any such change will become effective immediately upon being posted, unless stated otherwise.
