How We Use Information We Collect and Our Legal Bases for Processing It
We use your information under several legal bases, including to establish and perform our contract with you, for our legitimate interests, to comply with our legal obligations, to establish, use and protect Earthmetry’s rights, or otherwise with your consent.
The main use of the information we collect and store is to provide you with the Services you request from us and to improve your user experience, but there are other uses as well. The uses for which we collect and store your information include:
- to improve and optimize our Services and our users’ experiences;
- to create your accounts and allow you to use our Services;
- to personalize our Services to you;
- to communicate with you about the Services you’re using, new Services, and promotional offers that we think might be of interest to you;
- to provide technical support and respond to user inquiries;
- to protect the safety and well-being of our users and employees;
- to protect Earthmetry’s rights and property in connection with our Services;
- to prevent fraud or potentially illegal activities, and to enforce our Terms of Service;
- to administer rewards, surveys, contests, or other promotional activities or events sponsored or managed by us or our business partners;
- to comply with our legal obligations, resolve any disputes we may have with you, and to enforce our agreements with third parties; and/or
- to conduct research.
However, we’ll normally collect information from you only where we need it to perform our contract with you (i.e., our Terms of Service), where the processing is in our legitimate interests (provided that these aren’t overridden by your interests or rights), or if we otherwise have your consent.
In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation or need to collect information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person (for example, another user).
If we ask you to provide information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, this will normally be clear from the context in which we are asking you to provide your information (for example, when we ask you to provide a username to access our Services, this will be to create an account for you in accordance with our Terms of Service), and, if not, we will provide an explanation to you at the relevant time. We will also make clear whether providing information is mandatory.
Similarly, if we collect and use your information in reliance on legitimate interests (or those of any third party) which are not listed above, it will be made clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are (such as personalizing our services and marketing, for example).
If you have questions or need further information about the legal bases on which we collect and use your personal information, please Contact Us.
How We Share Information
We may share your information, including personal information, with third parties or allow third parties to collect this information from our Services in the following circumstances:

Your information, and the contents of all of your online communications in our Services and between you and Earthmetry may be accessed and monitored as needed to provide our Service and may be disclosed:
- to satisfy any laws or regulations that apply;
- when we have a good faith belief that we have to disclose the information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including for national security, law enforcement, or legal process purposes (for example, a court order, search warrant, or subpoena);
- when we believe in our sole discretion that our Services are being used in committing a crime, including to report such criminal activity or to share information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection, credit risk reduction, and other security precautions;

Third-Party Service Providers
We’ll share your information with the third-party service providers and business partners that we work with to bring you our Services.
We will share your information with third-party companies who perform services on our behalf, like payment processing, analytics, analysis, hosting services, customer service, marketing, and advertising optimization. Where we share your information with third-party service providers and business partners, we ensure that we have appropriate agreements in place to protect your information (as required by applicable data protection laws).
Sale or Merger
We may share your information with the interested party if we undergo or evaluate undergoing a sale or merger.
In the event that Earthmetry undergoes or evaluates undergoing a business transition, like a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or part of its assets (one or more Services), we may disclose or transfer all of your information, including personal information, to the successor organization in the transition. We will make reasonable efforts to let you know (in the way described in Changes to Our Privacy Policy) of any such business transitions when they occur.

Opting Out of Third-Party Behavioral Advertising
We do not display any third-party advertising at present on any of our websites.
Our Policies Concerning Children
We seek to ensure that we do not collect information from children.
Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or under 16 for children located in the European Countries) (collectively, “Children”). Children are not permitted to use these Services, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from Children.
If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal information from a Child, we will take reasonable measures to promptly remove that information from our records.
Transfers Out of Country
When you use our Services, your personal information may be sent to the United States and possibly other countries. When we process personal information collected in the European Countries outside of the European Countries, we comply with our legal obligations and ensure that your personal information is subject to suitable safeguards or transferred to “approved” territories.
We may transfer personal information to our “Affiliated Entities,” which are any other corporate entities under common ownership with Earthmetry, or to our business partners and service providers from time to time for our legitimate business purposes.
We store personal information about visitors to our sites on servers located in the United States, India and other countries, and we may also process this information in other countries where our Affiliated Entities, business partners and service providers have their operations. Personal information collected in the European Countries may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the European Countries for purposes such as: (i) the processing of transactions and your payment details, or (ii) the provision of support services. When we transfer your personal information internationally we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is treated securely, lawfully, and in the manner we describe here. Please note that laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so the privacy laws applicable to the places where your information is transferred to or stored, used, or processed in, may be different from the privacy laws applicable to the place where you are resident.

You may exercise any rights you have to correct, amend, or delete information about you as described in Your Rights and How to Access, Update, and Manage Your Personal Information.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We’ll keep your information for as long as necessary to provide you with the Services, maintain our legitimate business operations, and/or exercise, defend or establish our rights.
How long we retain your personal information depends on why we collected it and how we use it, but we will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements.
We will retain personal information about you and connected with your account and/or the Services you use from us for as long as you have an active account with us. We will take reasonable measures to delete this personal information if you delete your account. However, you acknowledge that we may retain some information after you have closed, or we have deleted, your account with us where necessary to enable us to meet our legal obligations or to exercise, defend, or establish our rights.
Security of Your Information
We work hard to protect your information but you also have a role to play.
We implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to help protect the security of your information both online and offline and to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These measures vary based upon the sensitivity of your information.
If you have an account registered directly with Earthmetry, your profile information is protected by the password you use to access your Earthmetry account. It is important that you protect and maintain your Earthmetry account’s security and that you immediately tell us of any unauthorized use of your account. If you forget the password to your Earthmetry account, the Services allow you to request that instructions be sent to you that explain how to reset your password. If you access our Services through another account which is hacked or otherwise compromised, this may lead to someone accessing or deleting your Earthmetry accounts without your permission. So, be careful to keep your account information, including your account password, secure as well. We urge you to log out of your Earthmetry account and any other account you have used to access our Services when you are finished using them.
When you sign into your Earthmetry account or enter payment information, we and our third-party payment processor use encryption to transmit that information.
While we take precautions against possible security breaches of our Services and our customer databases and records, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information while it is being transmitted to our Service. Any transmission is at your own risk. If you have questions about the security of our websites, please Contact Us.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We’ll let you know about any material changes to this Privacy Policy.
If we decide to make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will tell you and other users by placing a notice in our Services or on www.earthmetry.com, or by sending you a notice to the e-mail address we have on file for you before the change becomes effective (and we will ask for your consent where required by law). You should periodically check www.earthmetry.com and this Privacy Policy for updates.
