Brave continually monitors the circumstances surrounding such transfers to ensure that these maintain, in practice, a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to the level of protection guaranteed by the GDPR.

6. Cookies and other Data Collection Technologies

Representatives and Prospects:

We and our service providers utilize third-party software development kits (SDKs), cookies, pixels and similar technologies (collectively “Cookies”) in order for us to provide our Business, to ensure its proper functions, to analyse our performance and marketing activities, and to personalize your experience. Cookies are packets of information sent to and from your web browser each time it accesses the server that sent the Cookie and may store Personal Data, such as IP address and Device Unique Identifiers, previously indicated by you. Some cookies are removed when you close your browser session. These are the “Session Cookies”. Some last for longer periods and are called “Persistent Cookies”. 

We use both types to facilitate the use of the Business. We may also use HTML5 local storage or other techniques for the above-mentioned purposes. These technologies differ from browser Cookies in the amount and type of data they store, and how they store it.

Whilst we do not change our practices in response to a “Do Not Track” signal in the HTTP header from a browser or mobile application, you can manage your Cookie preferences, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them, through your browser settings. Please bear in mind that disabling cookies may complicate or even prevent you from using the Business.

Please note that if you get a new computer, install a new browser, erase or otherwise alter your browser’s cookie file (including upgrading certain browsers), you may also clear the opt-out cookies installed once you opt-out, so an additional opt-out will be necessary to prevent additional tracking.

For more information on our cookie and data collection technologies practices, you may also use the “Your Privacy Choices” feature available in our Business depending on your location and activity, as applicable.

End-Users:

The Personal Data collected by our Business Partners to help facilitate our Services is defined above. 

Note that this Notice does not address the point of End-User Data collection. Any End-User Data collected is subject, at the point of collection, to the privacy practices of our Business Partners which the End-User interacted with, including that Business Partner’s cookie practices. If you have any question, please refer to the applicable Business Partner with whom you interact with. We recommend you review the Business Partner’s privacy policy and terms of use. 

7. Communications with Business Partners and Prospects

We engage in service and promotional communications, through e-mail, phone, and notifications. 

Service Communications: We may contact you with important information regarding our Services such as changes or updates to our Services, billing issues, log-in attempts or password reset notices, etc. Please note that you will not be able to opt-out of receiving certain service communications which are integral to your use of some of our Services (like password resets or billing notices).

You can opt-out of such promotional communications by sending an e-mail to: privacy@thebrave.io or by following the instructions contained in the promotional communications you receive.

8. Data Security

We have implemented industry-standard physical, administrative and technical security measures, designed to secure your Personal Data, to minimize the risks of theft, damage, loss of information, or unauthorized access or use of information. However, we cannot guarantee that our Business and Services will be immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unlawful interceptions or access, or other kinds of abuse and misuse as a result of unauthorized penetration to our servers. As the security of information depends in part on the security of the computer, device or network you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect your user IDs and passwords, please make sure to take appropriate measures to protect this information. If there is any unexpected activity or inaccurate information or if you have reason to believe that your information is no longer secure, or if you have any questions about our security, please contact us by e-mail at privacy@thebrave.io

9. Your Data Subject Rights

Individuals have rights concerning their Personal Data. Please contact us by e-mail at privacy@thebrave.io if you wish to exercise your privacy rights (each to the extent applicable to you under the laws which apply to you). Subject to legal and other permissible considerations, we will make every reasonable effort to honor your request promptly in accordance with applicable law or inform you if we require further information in order to fulfil your request. 

See below a list of data subject rights, which may be available to you under your jurisdiction:

  • The right to request that we rectify any Personal Data we hold that is inaccurate or misleading;
  • The right to request the erasure/deletion of your Personal Data (e.g. from our records). Please note that there may be circumstances in which we are required to retain your Personal Data, for example for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
  • The right to object, to or to request restriction, of the processing;

  • The right to object to profiling;
  • The right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that there may be circumstances in which we are entitled to continue processing your data, in particular if the processing is required to meet our legal and regulatory obligations. Also, please note that the withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal;

These rights are also subject to various exclusions and exceptions under applicable laws. We will not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable privacy request, unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in such circumstances. To the extent applicable to you, you may also designate an authorized agent, in writing or through a power of attorney, to request to exercise your privacy rights on your behalf. The authorized agent may submit a request to exercise these rights by emailing us.

Please note that when you or an authorized agent ask us to exercise any of your rights under this Privacy Notice or applicable law, we may need to ask you to provide us with certain credentials to make sure that you are who you claim you are, to avoid disclosure to you of Personal Data related to others and to ask you to provide further information to better understand the nature and scope of data regarding which you request to exercise your rights. Such additional data may be then retained by us for legal, compliance and auditing purposes (e.g., as proof of the identity of the person submitting the request or proof of request fulfillment). We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information that enables us to reasonably verify that you are the individual about whom we collected the Personal Data. 

We may redact from the data that we will make available to the requesting data subject any Personal Data related to others.

11. Roles and Responsibilities

Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, and other applicable US laws, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing personal data: the “data controller” (or under other applicable US laws, “business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “data processor” (or under other applicable US laws, “service provider”), who processes the data on behalf of the data controller (or business). Below, we explain how these roles apply to our processing activities, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.

  • Brave is the “data controller” of Representatives and Prospects Data. With respect to such data, we assume the responsibilities of a data controller (to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Notice. In such instances, our service providers processing such data will assume the role of “data processor.” 
  • Our business partners are solely responsible for determining whether and how they wish to use our Services, and for ensuring that any End-User Personal Data they provide us with meets any and all applicable privacy laws and regulations. Specifically, at the point of collection, this includes the Business Partner’s responsibility to collect/allow the End-User’s privacy preferences, obtaining (when required) consent, to show a privacy policy to the End User, all as required by applicable laws and regulations.
