What Happens To Your Community Users Data?

In Short: At Vewmet, we prioritize the sovereignty and privacy of your community/communities users. Here's how we handle user data of your community/communities:

• Ownership of User Data: At Vewmet, we recognize and respect the autonomy and rights of our clients who use our services to create or manage online communities. Consequently, all user data generated within these communities is considered the exclusive property of the community administrators, not Vewmet.
• Privacy and Non-interference: Vewmet is committed to maintaining a stringent policy of non-interference with user data. This means we do not read, modify, share, or access user data for third-party purposes without explicit authorization. Our role is limited to providing the platform and tools necessary for community administration and engagement.
• Data Storage and Authorization: With explicit authorization from our clients, Vewmet may store user data on behalf of the community. This process will be conducted under strict compliance with data protection laws and best practices to ensure the security and confidentiality of user data. Authorized storage of data is contingent upon the agreement of the community administrators and may be used for purposes such as backup, recovery, and ensuring the smooth operation of the community platform.
• Notification to Users: When user data is stored with Vewmet, community administrators are required to notify their community members about this arrangement. It is essential that users are informed about where and how their data is being stored, and the purposes for which it may be used.
• Privacy Policy Responsibility: The responsibility for drafting, maintaining, and enforcing a privacy policy for the community lies solely with the community administrators. It is imperative that such policies are comprehensive, transparent, and in compliance with applicable data protection laws. Community administrators must ensure that their users are well-informed about their privacy rights and the measures in place to protect their personal information.

What Legal Bases Do We Rely On To Process Your Information?

In Short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to enter into or fulfil our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfil our legitimate business interests.

If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

• Consent: We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
• Legal Obligations: We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
• Vital Interests: We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.

We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:

• If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way.
• For investigations and fraud detection and prevention.
• For business transactions provided certain conditions are met.
• If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim.
• For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin.
• If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse.
• If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province.
• If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records.
• If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced.
• If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes.
• If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations.

• Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

How Do We Handle Your Social Logins?

In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or Twitter logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this privacy notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise 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.

How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
