To create anonymous data. We may create aggregated and other anonymous data from our users’ information.

Service providers. We may share your personal information with third party companies and individuals as needed for them to provide us with services that help us with our business activities and to provide the Service (such as customer support, hosting and storage, website analytics and legal and other professional advice). These third parties will be given limited access to your personal information that is reasonably necessary for them to provide their services.

Business partners. We may share your personal information with our business partners who jointly offer a service or co-sponsor promotions or events. We do not control how these business partners handle your personal information, which is governed by their own privacy policies. If you have questions about our business partners’ privacy practices, we encourage you to contact them.

For legal reasons. We may disclose your personal information as we believe appropriate to government or law enforcement officials or private parties for the purposes described above under the following sections: For compliance, fraud prevention, and safety and for compliance with law.

Other Important Privacy Information

Third party sites and services. The Service may contain links to other websites and services operated by third parties.

Other websites and services follow different rules regarding their collection, use and sharing of your personal information. We encourage you to read their privacy policies to learn more.

Security. The security of your personal information is important to us. We employ a number of organizational, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

International data use. We are headquartered in the United States and have affiliates and service providers in other countries, and your personal information may be collected, used and stored in the United States or other locations outside of your home country. Privacy laws in the locations where we handle your personal information may not be as protective as the privacy laws in your home country.

Children. The Service is not directed at, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under the age of 16. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 16, we will attempt to delete that information as soon as possible.

Controller. Penguin Solutions, Inc. is the controller of your personal information covered by this Privacy Policy for purposes of European and UK data protection legislation.

Legal bases for processing. Our legal basis for processing the personal information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the type of personal information and the specific context in which we process it. We process your personal information based on:

• Necessity to perform a contract or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract: we process certain personal information, such as what is described in Contact Details, Correspondence and Event information, in connection with transactions or the sale of our products and services to our customers and performing our contractual obligations;
• Legitimate Interest: we process certain personal information such as Event Information, Correspondence, Contact Details and Product Interests for our legitimate interest such as to market our products and services, or develop and improve our products and services, or in connection with a business transfer. We rely on our legitimate interests except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data; and
• Consent: we may process certain personal information based on your consent. If we rely on consent, we will only process the personal information in accordance with the consent. In addition, you can withdraw you consent at any time by contacting us at legalnotices@smartm.com.

Retention

We retain personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested; to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements; to establish or defend legal claims; or for fraud prevention). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it 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.

You may submit these requests by email to legalnotices@smartm.com or our postal address provided above. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions. If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal information or our response to your requests regarding your personal information, you may email us at legalnotices@smartm.com or submit a complaint to the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction.

Cross-Border Data Transfer

If we transfer your personal information from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom to a country outside of it and are required to apply additional safeguards to your personal information under European or UK data protection legislation, we will do so, for instance by entering into standard contractual clauses for the transfer of data as approved by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
