We may also use Your information as described below.


• Registration Information
  We ask for Registration Information in order to verify Your identity and to enable Your use of the Service. We use third party vendors to host and manage Our API management and log-in processes, Our accounts and marketing systems, and for billing services. Your Registration Information, including billing data, is stored by these vendors, and We have access to this information through Our vendor accounts. We rely on the protection measures and certifications offered by these vendors to protect Your Registration Information. Upon written request, Basis will provide You with the names of these vendors.
  
  We respect the privacy of personal e-mail accounts and will restrict access to Your e-mail addresses (within Our applicable vendor accounts) to those who have a need to know for the purposes permitted in this Privacy Policy. We will not send You unwanted e-mail messages or junk mail, and Your details will not be passed to third parties for their marketing purposes without Your explicit permission. However, we will use e-mail to send You messages about faults and service issues. We may also use e-mail to keep You up to date with news about the Service.
  If You do not want to be kept informed in this way by e-mail, please contact us at support@rosette.com. Further, we reserve the right to use e-mail to notify You of any claims related to Your use of the Service, including without limitation claims of violation of third party rights.
• Content
  Your Content is processed through virtual machines hosted via Amazon Web Services (“AWS”). Basis relies on the data protection measures and certification offered by AWS to protect Your Content. In general, except for access by AWS, we will not use, review or provide third parties access to Your Content except as specifically authorized by You. In particular, Our AWS hosted virtual machines normally process the Content submitted by an Authorized User and return the results of Our processing to the Authorized User that submitted the Content. We do not retain any of Your Content after it has been processed. However, if required by law, we reserve the right to pre-screen, review, flag, filter, modify, refuse or remove any or all Content from the Service.
  
  We will also collect and use metadata related to Your use of the Service, such as anonymized Content and account metrics based on or generated by (i) Your use of the Service and/or (ii) Your Content (“Metadata”). Metadata will be used to generate anonymized and aggregated reports for analysis purposes. These reports will not contain personally identifiable information.
• Reviews and Comments
  We use Reviews and Comments, such as comments posted on Our users’ forum, for the purpose of providing content to other users of the Site, and for improving Our products and services. In addition, as noted in Our Terms of Use, we have the right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, perform, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display Reviews and Comments throughout the world in any media. However, if required by law, we reserve the right to pre-screen, review, flag, filter, modify, refuse or remove any or all Reviews and Comments from the Site.

We reserve the right to utilize anonymous information for marketing purposes, for instance by displaying selected comments on the Service or in other communications or fora.

To whom do we transfer Your personal information?

Except as provided below, we shall not sell, rent, trade or otherwise transfer any Registration Information or Content to any third party without Your explicit permission, unless we are obliged to do so under applicable laws or by order of the competent authorities. As noted above, if You are using the Service via a third party application provider (“ Application Provider”), the Application Provider will normally have the right to control the transfer of information You provide via the applicable Application.

We may share Your information with Our affiliates and other service providers that We utilize to provide the Service. As noted above, when registering for the Service, You may provide Your Registration Information directly to one of Our service providers, who may send us, or provide access to that information in order for Us to operate the Service. We may also offer some of Our services in connection with other service providers. Registration Information that You provide to us may be sent to those providers in order to deliver the service provided by them; similarly, personal information that You provide to those sites may be sent to us in order to operate the Service.

Information collected by us may be stored and processed in any country in which We, Our affiliates, and Our third party service providers maintain facilities. We reserve the right to transfer information outside of the country where You reside and/or from which You use the Service. By using the Service You consent to any such transfer of information.

As we continue to develop Our business, we might sell or buy subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions as well as in the event all or substantially all of Our assets are acquired by a third party, personal information of Our users will generally be one of the transferred business assets. We reserve the right to include Your personal information, collected as an asset, in any such transfer to a third party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use, we may access, use, preserve or disclose any information we have access to if we have a good faith belief that such access, use, preservation or disclosure of any information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce the Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of us, Our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

How do we protect Your personal information?

As noted above, Your Registration Information and Content are stored by, and processed by virtual machines hosted by Our third party vendors. We rely on the data protection measures and certifications offered by these third party vendors. We also take other appropriate organizational and technical measures to protect the data provided to us or collected by us, and do not retain it any longer than permitted in order to provide the Service or as required under relevant legislation, with due observance of the applicable obligations and exceptions under the relevant legislation. You should be aware that internet communications are not always secure. Although we or Our third party vendors do take what we consider appropriate steps to protect Your data, protection of information available over the internet is subject to attack from third parties, and accordingly we cannot promise You that third parties cannot access Your Content; in this regard, You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of Your account passwords and Your API Key. It is a condition of Your use that You agree we are not liable for any such disclosure.
The security of Your account relies on Your protection of Your password and Your API Key. You are responsible for maintaining the security of Your password and Your API Key. You are solely responsible for any and all activities that occur under Your account. You may not share Your password with anyone. We will never ask You to send Your password or other sensitive information to us in an email, though we may ask You to enter this type of information on the Site. Any email or other communication requesting Your password, asking You to provide sensitive account information via email, or linking to a website with a URL that does not begin with http://www.developer.rosette should be treated as unauthorized and suspicious and should be reported to Us immediately at support@rosette.com. If You do share Your password with a third party for any reason, the third party will have access to Your account and Your personal information, and You may be responsible for actions taken using Your password.

If You believe someone else has obtained access to Your password, please change it immediately by logging in to Your account at http://www.developer.rosette.com and changing Your account settings..

We reserve the right to terminate any link or linking program at any time.
