The following privacy policy explains how NetHunter collects and processes your personal data (hereinafter also referred to as "data"), the purposes for which we process it, and the extent of the processing. This privacy policy applies to all processing of personal data carried out by us, both in the context of providing our services and, in particular, on our websites, in mobile applications, and within external online presences, such as our social media profiles (collectively referred to as "online offer"). The terms used are not gender-specific.
​
​
PRIVACY POLICY
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it within the framework of this privacy policy ("policy"). This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide to us ("personal information"), as well as our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that personal information. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information.
This policy is a legally binding agreement between you ("user", "you", or "your") and NetHunter ("NetHunter", "we", "us", or "our"). If you are entering into this agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to this agreement, in which case the terms "user", "you", or "your" shall refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority or do not agree with the terms of this agreement, you must not accept this agreement and may not use the website and services. By accessing the website and using the services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this policy. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.
​
AUTOMATIC INFORMATION COLLECTION
When you open the website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This data may include information such as your device's IP address, browser type and version, operating system type and version, preferred language settings, or the webpage you visited before coming to the website. Additionally, it includes the pages of the website and services you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on the website, access times and dates, and other statistics.
​
The automatically collected information is used solely to identify potential cases of abuse and to establish statistical information regarding the use and traffic of the website and services. This statistical information is not aggregated in a way that would identify any particular user of the system.
​
​
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
You can access and use the website and services without telling us who you are or revealing any information that would allow someone to identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. However, if you wish to use some of the features offered on the website, you may be asked to provide certain personal information (e.g., your name and email address)6.
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us when you create an account, make a purchase, or fill out online forms on the website.
When required, this information may include:
-
Account details: Username, unique user ID, password, etc.
-
Contact information: Email address, phone number, etc.
-
Basic personal information: Name, country of residence, etc.
​
Some of the information we collect directly from you through the website and services. Additionally, we may collect personal information about you from other sources such as public databases and joint marketing partners8.
You can choose not to provide us with your personal information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some of the features on the website. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us at any time.
​
​
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not submit any personal information through the website and services. If you believe that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information through the website and services, please contact us to request that we delete that information from our services.
​
We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's internet usage and to help enforce this policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information through the website and services without their permission. We also ask all parents and guardians overseeing the care of children to take the necessary precautions to ensure that their children do not share personal information online without their permission.
​
​
USE AND PROCESSING OF COLLECTED INFORMATION
We act as both a data controller and a data processor under the GDPR when processing personal information, unless we have entered into a data processing agreement with you. In that case, you would be the data controller and we would be the data processor.
​
Our role may vary depending on the specific situation involving personal information. We act as a data controller when we ask you to provide personal information necessary to ensure your access to the website and services. In such cases, we determine the purposes and means of processing and comply with the obligations of a data controller under the GDPR13.
In cases where you submit personal information through the website and services, we act as a data processor. We do not own, control, or make decisions about the submitted personal information. Such information is processed only according to your instructions. The user providing the information acts as a data controller under the GDPR.
​
To enable you to use the website and services or to comply with legal obligations, we may need to collect and use certain personal information. If you do not provide the requested information, we may not be able to provide you with the requested products or services.
​
All information you provide to us may be used for the following purposes:
-
Creating and managing user accounts

Processing and managing orders

Providing products or services

Improving products and services

Operating and managing the website and services
​
The processing of your personal information depends on how you interact with the website and services, where you are located in the world, and whether any of the following applies:
-
You have given your consent for one or more specific purposes (this does not apply, however, when the processing of personal information is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act or European data protection laws).
-
The provision of the information is necessary for the performance of a contract with you and/or for any pre-contractual obligations.
-
The processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which you are subject.

​

Performance of a contract
-
Our legitimate interest
​
Please note that we may process information until you object to such processing, without relying on consent or any of the above legal bases, under certain laws. In any case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, particularly whether the provision of personal information is a statutory or contractual requirement or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract
​
​
PAYMENT PROCESSING
For services that require payment, you may need to provide your credit card details or other payment information, which will be used solely to process payments. We use third-party payment processors ("payment providers") to process your payment information securely.
​
The payment providers adhere to the latest security standards of the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. The transmission of sensitive and private data occurs over an SSL-secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures. The website and services also comply with strict security standards to create a secure environment for users.
​
We share payment data only to the extent necessary to process payments, handle refunds, and address complaints or inquiries related to such payments and refunds.
​
Please note that the payment providers may collect some of your personal information to process your payments (e.g., your email address, address, credit card details, and bank account number). The use of your personal information by the payment providers is subject to their respective privacy policies, which may not provide the same level of privacy protection as this policy. We recommend that you review their privacy policies.
​
​
MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION
You can delete certain personal information that we have about you. The information you can delete may change as the website and services change. When you delete personal information, we may retain a copy of the unrevised information in our records for the duration necessary to comply with our obligations to partners and for the purposes described in this policy. If you wish to permanently delete your personal information or your account, you can contact us.
​
​
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Depending on the requested services or as necessary to complete a transaction or provide a service you requested, we may share your information with our affiliates, contracted companies, and service providers ("service providers") on whom we rely to operate the website and services. These service providers are committed to adhering to our privacy policies or agreeing to terms that are consistent with these policies.
​
The service providers are not authorized to use or disclose your information except as necessary to provide services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.
​
We may also disclose personal information that we collect, use, or receive if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, ensure your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
​
​
RETENTION OF INFORMATION
We will retain and use your personal information for as long as your user account is active or as long as necessary to enforce our agreements, resolve disputes, or as required or permitted by law (up to a maximum of 36 months). Aggregated data derived from your personal information may continue to be used after its update or deletion, but not in a way that would identify you personally. Once the retention period expires, the personal information will be deleted.
​
​
TRANSFER OF INFORMATION
Depending on your location, data transfers may involve transferring your information to a country other than your own. However, this will not include countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). If such a transfer occurs, you can find more information in the relevant sections of this policy or contact us using the provided contact information.

COOKIES
Our website and services use "cookies" to personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file placed on your hard drive by a web server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer43.
We may use cookies to collect, store, and track information for security and personalization purposes, to operate the website and services, and for statistical purposes.

DATA ANALYTICS
Our website and services may use third-party analytics tools that use cookies or similar technologies to collect standard internet activity and usage information.

We use this data to monitor and improve the performance of the website and services.
​
​
DO-NOT-TRACK FUNCTION
Some browsers include a Do Not Track feature that signals that you do not want your online activities tracked. However, tracking is not the same as using or collecting information in connection with a website. In this context, tracking refers to collecting personally identifiable information from consumers who use or visit a website or online service as they move across different websites over time.
​
How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. Therefore, the website and services are not currently set up to interpret or respond to Do Not Track signals transmitted by your browser. Nevertheless, we limit the use and collection of your personal information as described in this policy.
​
​
SOCIAL MEDIA
Our website and services may include social media features, such as the Facebook, Twitter, and "Share" buttons (collectively "social media features"). These social media features may collect your IP address, the page you are visiting on our website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features are either hosted by their respective providers or directly on our website and services. Your interactions with these social media features are governed by the privacy policies of the respective providers.
​
​
EMAIL MARKETING
We offer electronic newsletters to which you can voluntarily subscribe at any time. We are committed to keeping your email address confidential and will not disclose it to third parties, except as allowed in this policy or for the use of a third-party provider to send such emails. We will maintain the information sent via email in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, all emails sent from us will clearly state who the email is from and provide clear information on how to contact the sender. You can unsubscribe from newsletters or marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in these emails or by contacting us. Transactional emails necessary for the use of the services will continue to be sent.
