STOR Management LLC (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. Your privacy is important to us. It is our policy to respect your privacy and comply with any applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including across our website { // eslint-disable-next-line react/jsx-no-target-blank storpartners.com } and other sites we own and operate (collectively, the “Platform”). This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, process, and share your personal information, and to help you understand and exercise your privacy rights.
In the event our Platform contains links to third-party sites and services, please be aware that those sites and services have their own privacy policies. After following a link to any third-party content, you should read their posted privacy policy information about how they collect and use personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after you leave our Platform.
The categories of personal information we collect depend on how you interact with us, our Platform, and the requirements of applicable law. We collect information that you provide to us, information we obtain automatically when you use our Platform, and information from other sources such as third-party services and organizations, as described below.
We may ask for personal information — for example, when you register an account, make a listing, or when you contact us — which may include one or more of the following:
We use different methods to collect information from and about you, including through:
Direct interactions. You may give us your identity data, contact data, financial data, account data and marketing and communications data by directly interacting with us, including by filling in forms, by email or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:
Automated technologies or interactions. As you interact with us via our Platform, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including but not limited to, your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, mobile device ID, blockchain address, wallet type, and date/time stamps
Third parties or publicly available sources. We also obtain information about you from third parties or publicly available sources. These sources may include:
Like most websites, when you visit the Platform we may store some information (commonly known as a “cookie”) on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device. Cookies are small text files of information that use a unique identification tag and are stored on your device as a result of accessing the Platform or other services we provide to you. We use cookies to track site usage and trends, to improve the quality of the Platform, and to customize, personalize and enhance your experience on the Platform. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined time. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or always provide a hint appearing before a new cookie is created. However, disabling cookies completely may mean that you cannot use all features of the Platform.
Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s User. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to browser DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. You also can typically remove and reject Cookies or Local Storage from the Platform with your browser settings. Many browsers are set to accept Cookies and Local Storage until you change your settings. If you remove or reject Cookies or Local Storage, it could affect how we provide services to you. In all circumstances, we may perform the foregoing information collection practices directly or use a third-party vendor to perform these functions on our behalf. Also, if you access the Platform from a social networking service, we may share information with such social networking service in accordance with this Privacy Policy and to the extent permitted by your agreement with such social networking service and its privacy settings.
In addition to the tracking technologies we place, other companies may set their own cookies or similar tools when you visit our Platform. This includes third party analytics services, including, but not limited to, Google Analytics (“Analytics Services”), that we may engage to help analyze how users use the Platform. 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 our Platform. The information generated by the Cookies or other technologies about your use of our website (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 our website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Analytics Services in the manner and for the purposes set out above. For a full list of Analytics Services, please contact us at martin@storpartners.com .
We only collect and use your personal information when we have a legitimate reason for doing so. In this instance, we only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to provide you access to our Platform and our services to you.
Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
We may collect, hold, use, and disclose information for the following purposes, and personal information will not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with these purposes:
We may combine voluntarily provided and automatically collected personal information with general information or research data we receive from other trusted sources. For example, our marketing and market research activities may uncover data and insights, which we may combine with information about how visitors use our site to improve our site and your experience on it.
Information you post publicly on our Platform may be accessed, collected, or used by others and it may result in unsolicited messages or contact from others. We strongly encourage you to use caution and discretion when sharing information publicly.
When we collect and process personal information, and while we retain this information, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. Although we will do our best to protect the personal information you provide to us, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and no one can guarantee absolute data security. You are responsible for selecting any password and its overall security strength, ensuring the security of your own information within the bounds of our Platform. For example, ensuring any passwords associated with accessing your personal information and accounts are secure and confidential.
While there is an inherent risk in any data being shared over the internet, we have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, damaged, or accessed in an unauthorized or unlawful way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a legitimate business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Depending on the nature of the risks presented by the proposed processing of your personal data, we will have in place the following appropriate security measures:
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any relevant regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
We keep your personal information only for as long as we need to. This time period may depend on what we are using your information for, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If your personal information is no longer required for this purpose, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.
Here are some exemplary factors which we usually consider when determining how long we need to retain your personal data:
