4. NOTICE ON EU-US PRIVACY SHIELD AND SWISS-US PRIVACY SHIELD

Maritime Solar complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal data transferred from the EU and the United Kingdom and Switzerland to the United States. We have certified to the Department of Commerce that we adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles will take precedence. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov. While Maritime Solar is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, based upon the European Commission’s Decision 2016/1250 of 12 July 2016, we no longer rely on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as a basis for transferring data from the European Union to the United States and instead rely on alternative cross-border transfer mechanisms and safeguards. If you have a question about a particular mechanism or safeguard used by Maritime Solar, please contact us using the contact details listed in Section 17 below.

As described in the Privacy Shield Principles (https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=Requirements-of-Participation), Maritime Solar is accountable for personal data that it receives and subsequently transfers to third parties. If third parties that process personal data on our behalf do so in a manner that does not comply with the Privacy Shield Principles, we are accountable, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. The types of third parties with which we may share your personal data are set out in the section of this Policy entitled “HOW MARITIME SOLAR MAY SHARE YOUR INFORMATION.” The categories of personal data Maritime Solar may receive, as well as the purposes for which Maritime Solar collects and uses the personal data, are set out in other sections of this Policy, including in those entitled “HOW WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION” and “HOW MARITIME SOLAR USES YOUR INFORMATION.”

With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Framework, Maritime Solar is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, Maritime Solar may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

You may have the right to access your personal data and request that we correct, amend, delete it if it is inaccurate or processed in violation of the Privacy Shield Framework. These access rights may not apply in some cases, including where providing access is unreasonably burdensome or expensive under the circumstances or where it would violate the rights of a third party. To request access to, correction, amendment, or deletion of your personal data, submit a written request to the contact information provided below. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity.

You may also choose to change personal data or deactivate your account by contacting us using the contact details below. You can also unsubscribe from our marketing communications by following the instructions or unsubscribe mechanism in our marketing e-mails.

In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, Maritime Solar commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of your personal data. EU and Swiss users with inquiries or complaints regarding this Policy should first contact us by email at legal@Maritime Solar.ca

Maritime Solar further commits to refer unresolved Privacy Shield complaints to our alternative dispute resolution provider located in the United States. If you have an unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third party dispute resolution provider (free of charge) at https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request. Additionally, under certain conditions, you may be entitled to invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted. These conditions are more fully described on the Privacy Shield website, https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=How-to-Submit-a-Complaint.

We may amend this Notice on EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield from time to time consistent with Privacy Shield requirements.

5. HOW WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION

Information You Provide.

We collect personal data from Direct Users when they register to use the Maritime Solar Service, post content on the Maritime Solar Service (such as in forums), or communicate with us (e.g., through the “Contact” page on our site, or when requesting customer service or technical support), make purchases through the Maritime Solar Service, or provide us with feedback about the Maritime Solar Service.

We may also collect personal data at other points in the Maritime Solar Service when clearly identified.

We do not collect personal data directly from End Users unless they contact us (i.e., through the “Contact” page on our site or to provide feedback about the Maritime Solar Service). Each individual operator of a Maritime Solar Site determines what End User information is required to operate their Maritime Solar Site, is required to comply with all applicable laws respecting the treatment of such information and is responsible for all use of such information. However, because Maritime Solar Sites run on our infrastructure, the “Information Collected via Technology” section below applies equally to End Users and Direct Users.

Registration. To create an account, Direct Users need to provide an email address and password. Direct Users may provide other optional information, such as profile photos, their location, or job title, and, if signing up for a paid account, will have to provide payment information to our third party payment provider, subject to the terms below. Direct Users may always go to the “My account” section of the Maritime Solar Service to update, change, or remove their information.
Forum Use. To post on our Forum, Direct Users need to provide their email address, password, a username and may provide other optional information, such as profile photos. Direct Users may always go to their “Account Preferences” page to update or change their information.
Maritime Solar Sites. We do not collect or use End User personal data, except to provide customer support, respond to direct requests, or as automatically collected through technical means as set forth below. As noted above, the operators of Maritime Solar Sites may collect and use the information of End Users of their sites, including personal data and content posted to Maritime Solar Sites. Maritime Solar does not control or monitor such collection and usage.

Maritime Solar Marketplace. We do not collect any personal data in the course of operating the Maritime Solar Marketplace, but in order to make available or license User Components on the Maritime Solar Marketplace, you must be a Direct User who has submitted payment information to our third party payment processor. Certain Direct User account information (including account name or other personal data) may be made available to the buyer and seller involved in a Maritime Solar Marketplace transaction. Maritime Solar does not control or monitor the use of such information by participants in a Maritime Solar Marketplace transaction.

Information Collected via Technology

Information Collected by Our Servers. To make the Maritime Solar Service more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect information from you, which may include your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.

Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, data typed into the site, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Maritime Solar Service, track users’ movements around the Maritime Solar Service, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor the Maritime Solar Service to our users’ needs. For example, certain information may be collected so that when you visit the Maritime Solar Service again, it will recognize you and remember preferences (such as previous User Components viewed or licensed from the Maritime Solar Marketplace). Except as noted in this Policy, we do not link this automatically-collected data to personal data.

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals.  We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that might enable you to opt out of tracking on our site. To find out more about “do not track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Mobile Services. We may also collect non-personal data from your mobile device if you access the Maritime Solar Service from your mobile device. This information is generally used to help us deliver the most relevant information to you. Examples of information that may be collected and used include your geographic location and information about the type of device you use. In addition, if the Maritime Solar Service crashes on your mobile device, we may receive information about your mobile device model software version and device carrier, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise improve the performance of the service. This information is sent to us as aggregated information and cannot be used to identify an individual.

Analytics Services. In addition to the tracking technologies we place, other companies may set their own Cookies or similar tools when you use the Maritime Solar Service. This includes third party analytics services, such as Google Analytics (“Analytics Services”), that we engage to help analyze how users use the Maritime Solar Service, as well as third parties that deliver content or offers. We may receive reports based on these parties’ use of these tools on an individual or aggregate basis. We use the information we get from Analytics Services only to improve the Maritime Solar Service. The information generated by the Cookies or other technologies about your use of the service (the “Analytics Information”) is transmitted to the Analytics Services. The Analytics Services use Analytics Information to compile reports on user activity. The Analytics Services may also transfer information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process Analytics Information on their behalf. Each Analytics Services’ ability to use and share Analytics Information is restricted by such Analytics Services’ Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By using the Maritime Solar Service, you consent to the processing of data about you by Analytics Services in the manner and for the purposes set out above. See https://Maritime Solar.io/subprocessors for a full list of Analytics Services. We may also partner with ad companies to support our marketing efforts, including by serving you ads better tailored to your likely interests. If you don’t want to take advantage of these services, you can opt-out by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/ or http://networkadvertising.org/choices/, or if you are located in the EU, http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.

SNS Log In. Direct Users may use certain social media site (“SNS”) credentials to log into the Maritime Solar Service. In such case, we collect personal data from the social media website. For example, when you log in with your Google credentials, we may collect the personal data you have made publicly available in Google, such as your email address, name, and profile picture or logo. You agree that you are solely responsible for your use of an SNS and that it is your responsibility to review the terms of use and privacy policy of such SNS. Any information that we collect from an SNS account will depend on the privacy settings you have with that SNS, so please consult the SNS’ privacy and data practices. We will not be responsible or liable for: (a) the availability or accuracy of such SNS; (b) the content, products or services on or availability of such SNS; or (c) your use of any such SNS. You can revoke our access to this information anytime by amending the appropriate settings from within your account settings on the applicable SNS.

Cookies

Like many online services, we use Cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them).

We use two broad categories of Cookies: (1) first party Cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which are used only by us to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits the Maritime Solar Service; and (2) third party Cookies, which are served by service providers on the Maritime Solar Service, and can be used by such service providers to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites.

Maritime Solar uses Cookies to verify that you are properly signed in, to display information for your primary location, and to provide information about your Maritime Solar Sites (if applicable). We may also use Cookies from time to time to measure your response to new aspects of the Maritime Solar Service and/or emails in an effort to continually improve customer service and the Maritime Solar Service. Please be aware that a Cookie cannot spread computer viruses, retrieve any other data from your hard drive, or capture your email address.

Cookies we use. The Maritime Solar Service uses the following types of Cookies for the purposes set out below.

a. Essential Cookies. These Cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Services and to enable you to use some of its features. For example, they allow you to log in to secure areas of our Services and help the content of the pages you request load quickly. Without these Cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these Cookies to provide you with those services.

b. Functionality Cookies. These Cookies allow our Services to remember choices you make when you use our Services, such as remembering your language preferences, remembering your login details and remembering the changes you make to other parts of Services which you can customize. The purpose of these Cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit our Services.

c. Analytics and Performance Cookies. These Cookies are used to collect information about traffic to Services and how users use our Services. The information gathered does not identify any individual visitor. The information is aggregated and anonymous. It includes the number of visitors to our Services, the websites that referred them to our Services, the pages they visited on our Services, what time of day they visited our Services, whether they have visited our Services before, and other similar information. We use this information to help operate our Services more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our Services.
We use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and other third party analytics services for this purpose. Google Analytics and Mixpanel use their own cookies. They are only used to improve how our Services works. You can find out more information about Google Analytics Cookies here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/resources/concepts/gaConceptsCookies. You can find out more about how Google protects your data here: www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.
You can find out more information about Mixpanel cookies and how they protect your data here: https://mixpanel.com/legal/privacy-policy/.
You can prevent the use of Google Analytics relating to your use of our Services by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via this link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.
You can prevent the use of Mixpanel Cookies relating to your use of our Services by filling out the Mixpanel opt-out form via this link: https://mixpanel.com/optout/.

d. Social Media Cookies. These Cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or “like” button on our Services or you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social networking website such as Facebook, Twitter, or Google+. The social network will record that you have done this.

Disabling Cookies. You can typically remove or reject Cookies via your browser settings. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “settings,” “help” “tools” or “edit” facility). Many browsers are set to accept Cookies until you change your settings.
Further information about Cookies, including how to see what Cookies have been set on your computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.com.uk.

Direct Users must accept Cookies in order to access certain features of the Maritime Solar Service. You can erase or block Cookies from your computer if you wish to do so (your internet browser help screen or manual will thoroughly explain this process), but certain parts of the Maritime Solar Service will not work correctly or at all if your browser is set to not to accept Cookies.

Pixels

We may also use pixel tags (which are also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) on the Maritime Solar Service to track the actions of users on our Services. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages. Pixel tags measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the Maritime Solar Service, so that we can manage our content more effectively. With the exception of the Facebook Pixel (see below), the information we collect using pixel tags is not linked to our users’ personal data.
Maritime Solar may use the Facebook Pixel to gather information about your activities on the Maritime Solar Service in order to provide you with tailored Maritime Solar ads. For example, if you sign up for Maritime Solar, you may see a Maritime Solar ad on your Facebook newsfeed. Facebook’s use of information collected is set forth in its Privacy Policy (https://www.facebook.com/policy.php). You may opt out of Facebook’s interest-based ads here (https://www.facebook.com/about/ads/#568137493302217).

Automated decision-making or profiling

We do not use your personal data for the purposes of automated decision-making. However, we may do so in order to fulfill obligations imposed by law, in which case we will inform you of any such processing and provide you with an opportunity to object.
