If you provide us with such information, we may collect publicly available information from the social media websites that you have indicated. You can control the amount of information that social media websites make public by visiting these websites and changing your privacy settings.
We receive information from third parties when you communicate with us. For example, when you submit your email address to show interest in becoming a Flash Donors customer, we receive information from a third party that provides automated fraud detection services to Flash Donors.

We may hire trusted third-party service providers to perform functions and provide services to us, such as hosting and maintaining our servers and platform, database storage and administration, email management, storage marketing, processing of credit cards, service and order fulfillment for products and services that you can purchase through the platform. We may share your personal information, and possibly some non-personal information, with these third parties to enable them to perform these services for us and for you.
We may share parts of the data in our log file, including IP addresses, for analytical purposes with third parties, such as web analytics partners, application developers, and ad networks. If your IP address is shared, it can be used to estimate the general location and other technological data, such as connection speed, if you have visited the platform in a shared location, and the type of device used to visit the platform. They can add information about our advertising and what you see on the platform and then provide audits, investigations and reports for us and our advertisers.
We may also disclose personal and non-personal information about you to government, law enforcement officials, or private third parties, as we deem, in our sole discretion, necessary or appropriate to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas), to protect our rights and interests or those of a third party, the safety of the public or any person, to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity, or to comply with applicable court orders, laws, rules and regulations.

By submitting your email address, you also agree to allow us to use your email address for customer audience targeting on sites such as Facebook, where we show personalized advertising to specific people who have chosen to receive our communications. Email addresses submitted only through the order processing page will be used for the sole purpose of sending you information and updates related to your order. However, if you have provided us with the same email via another method, we may use it for any of the purposes set out in this Policy. Note: If at any time you wish to unsubscribe from future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.

We retain your information only for as long as we need it to provide you with Flash Donors and to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. This is also the case for anyone with whom we share your information and who performs services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and it is no longer necessary for us to retain it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we will remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we cannot identify you.
We implement a variety of security measures to keep your personal information safe when you order, enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All confidential / credit information supplied is transmitted through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted in our database of payment gateway providers only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to said systems, and must keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, finances, etc.) is never archived. However,
Flash Donors is incorporated in the United States. Information collected through our website, through direct interactions with you or the use of our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or staff, or to third parties, located around the world, and can be viewed and stay anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have generally applicable laws governing the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily agree to the cross-border transfer and hosting of such information.
We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and administrative procedures in place to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and use your information correctly. However, neither people nor security systems are infallible, including encryption systems. Also, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes, or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we make all reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes an inalienable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that willful misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.
The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information Flash Donors collects depend on your relationship with Flash Donors. Staff may update or correct your information as detailed in our internal company employment policies.
Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information as follows. You may contact us to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences regarding communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete personally identifiable information that is held about you in our system (subject to the next paragraph), canceling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, We may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your profile or making corrections. You are responsible for keeping your unique password and account information secret at all times.
You must bear in mind that technologically it is not possible to delete each and every one of the records of the information that you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a form that cannot be erased and that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Immediately after receiving your request, all personal information stored in databases that we actively use and other easily searchable means will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent that it is reasonably and technically possible.
If you are an end user and you want to update, delete or receive any information we have about you, you can do so by contacting the organization of which you are a customer.

We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Flash Donors or any of its corporate affiliates (as defined herein), or portion of Flash Donors or any of its corporate Affiliates with whom the Service relates, or in the event that we discontinue our business or file a petition or have filed a petition against us in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We may collect and use information from you if it belongs to the European Economic Area (EEA), and in this section of our Privacy Policy we will explain exactly how and why this data is collected, and how we keep it under protection against replication or improper use.
GDPR is an EU-wide data protection and privacy law that regulates how companies protect the data of EU residents and improves the control that EU residents have over their personal data.
The GDPR is relevant for any company operating globally and not just for EU-based companies and EU residents. Our customer data is important no matter where it is located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our reference standard for all of our operations around the world.
Any data that relates to an identifiable or identifiable individual. The GDPR covers a wide spectrum of information that could be used on its own or in combination with other pieces of information to identify a person. Personal data goes beyond a person’s name or email address. Some examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometrics, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnic origin.
The data protection principles include requirements such as:
GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies must protect the personal data of the people they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing higher penalties for non-compliance. Beyond these facts, it is simply the right thing to do. At Flash Donors we firmly believe that the privacy of your data is very important and we already have strong security and privacy practices that go beyond the requirements of this new regulation.
We are committed to helping our clients comply with the GDPR data subject rights requirements. Flash Donors processes or stores all personal data at providers that are DPA compliant and have been fully vetted. We store all conversations and personal data for up to 6 years, unless your account is deleted. In which case, we delete all data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not keep it for more than 60 days.
We understand that if you work with clients from the EU, you must be able to provide them with the ability to access, update, retrieve and delete personal data. We have been set up as self-service from the beginning and have always given you access to your data and your customer data. Our customer support team is here to answer any questions you may have about working with the API.
