Changes to this Privacy Policy are published on the Site and come into effect after publication.

Agreement and Collection, Use of Information
​When you join us as a user of our Services, we request personal data that will be used to activate your account, provide you with Services, communicate with you about the status of your account, as well as other purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We may ask for your name, company name, address, phone number, email address, credit card details, and certain other information about you to provide our Services, or these details may be revealed during your use of the Services. You may also be asked to create a personal user ID and password, which will become part of your account information.
By providing us with personal data and requesting services from us, you voluntarily consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of such personal data as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Without the aforementioned limitations, we may sometimes request your consent when we collect, use, or disclose your personal data under certain circumstances. Sometimes your consent may be implied through your actions with us, if the expected use or disclosure of data by us is obvious and you voluntarily provide the data. Please ensure that all collection, use, and disclosure of personal data will be done in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may use your personal data and other information collected from you for the following purposes: to provide you with Services and improve the quality of the Website and Services; to provide you with news, RSS feeds, or other communications or services which you subscribe to or use in any other way; to provide information that enables you to use the Website and Services more effectively; to create, manage, and control your account information; as well as to establish login rights to Services and software, inform about changes or additions to the Services, or any other Service availability; to assess service levels, monitor traffic patterns and gauge popularity of different service options; to communicate with you about our or third parties' products or services which may interest you; to enforce this Privacy Policy; to respond to claims of any violation of our or third parties' rights; to cooperate with legal, criminal, or regulatory investigations or proceedings; to respond to your customer service requests; and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of you, us, our users, and the public as required or permitted by law.
We may occasionally communicate with you regarding our products, services, news, or events. You have the option to not receive marketing emails from us. In such cases, we provide an opt-out function or cease communicating with you for this purpose if you contact us and inform us not to send such information. The only type of communications that you cannot 'opt-out' of are mandatory communications relating to the Services, including certain information relating to your account (e.g., confirmation emails), planned service suspensions, and outages. We will try to minimize such communication with you.
Distribution
We will distribute your data to third parties in accordance with your instructions or, as necessary, to provide you with certain Services or in any other manner according to applicable privacy laws. For example, if you express interest in a particular startup by providing us with your email address, we will provide your email address to that website's owner, who may use it to contact you. In addition, we may disclose your personal and non-personal data to our agents, contractors, and service providers involved in performing services on our behalf (such as processing payments, providing data storage, maintaining our website, marketing our products and services, conducting audits, and web analytics). These third-party agents and service providers (i) are permitted to receive only the personal data necessary for their service provision, and (ii) must protect personal data the same way as theoffice.art, including not using it for inappropriate purposes.
​
We may also disclose your personal data to third parties if we believe, in good faith and exclusively at our discretion, that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) execute or apply our Terms of Service, including investigating potential violations thereof, (b) comply with legal or regulatory requirements or cooperate with law enforcement or regulatory investigations, (c) protect the rights, property, or safety of theoffice.art, our users, or other third parties, (d) prevent crime or protect national security, or (e) detect, prevent, or otherwise respond to fraud, security, or technical issues.
​
Information about our users, including personal data, may be disclosed in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of theoffice.art and/or its assets, as well as in the rare cases of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, in which personal data would be transferred as one of the business assets of the company.
We may also disclose non-personally identifiable aggregated, anonymous data to our business partners, vendors, advertisers, investors, potential buyers, and other third parties if we deem, in our sole discretion, that such disclosure has rational business reasons or justifications.

Your Publications
