This Privacy Policy, effective as of February 22, 2022, is intended to make clear what sorts of data we (Dinar Media) collect from you, what we do with it, and how our users (“you”) can control what happens to it.

II. What We Do With It
We use your Payment Information in order to bill you for the Services. We do this on the basis of your consent and our legitimate interest in getting paid for Services.
On the basis of your consent, we may use your Account Information to contact you about your use of our Services, for instance to let you know a task has completed, or to otherwise inform you about our Services, for instance by letting you know about changes or improvements to our offerings. In addition, if your email address is associated with a Gravatar, we may pull that Gravatar for display on our platform. Your Account Information may be stored on our behalf on third-party cloud infrastructure provider Amazon Web Services (AWS), a service provided by Amazon Web Services Inc.
We may use User Activity Information, Account Information and Other User Provided Personal Information to maintain, improve and better understand usage of our Service, on the basis of our legitimate interest in ensuring your data, our other clients’ data, and our systems are secure, in developing our Service to better serve you and other clients, and in managing and developing our business. In some cases, we may also be required to retain this information in order to meet our legal obligations.
We store and process Submitted Data and Submitted Metadata on your behalf, for instance when you run a pipeline on your data. If you consent, we may also access and process your Submitted Data and Submitted Metadata in order to provide support to you, for instance by running a few tests on your data for debugging purposes if your task fails. Your data is processed on your selected cloud infrastructure provider, either AWS or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), a service provided by Google LLC,and stored on their servers in encrypted form. You can find more information about Amazon Web Services’ security practices and Google Cloud Platform’s security online.
If you explicitly so choose (see “Controlling Your Data” below), we may share your Submitted Data and some elements of your Account Information with other users to whom you have granted permission to participate in your project. Your name and institutional affiliation may also be shared automatically with users who have granted you project permissions.
Dinar Media may disclose your data if disclosure of your data to third parties is necessary to respond to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, or if, at our sole discretion, we believe this is necessary in order to meet any legal requirement or enforceable governmental request or to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may (either intentionally or unintentionally) be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, users of our Service, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities.
We will not use your data in ways that go beyond those laid out in this Privacy Policy without your consent.
