We collect information in two ways: when you provide information to us or automatically through
operating our Services.

such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring

• Information from Cookies & Other Technologies: A cookie
is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s
browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web
beacons) are small blocks of code placed on websites and emails. padurus.io uses cookies and other technologies like pixel
tags to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our Services, as
well as track and understand email campaign effectiveness.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out
in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as
tax, accounting or other legal requirements).
Purposes for Using Information
We use information about you as mentioned above and for the purposes listed below:
- • To provide our Services, to set up and maintain your account or charge
you for any of our paid Services;
- • To further develop and improve our Services, by adding new features that
we think our users will enjoy or will help them to create and manage their monitors more
efficiently;
- • To monitor and analyze trends and better understand how users interact
with our Services, which helps us improve our Services and make them easier to use;
- • To measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising, and
better understand user retention. We may analyze how many individuals purchased a plan after
receiving a marketing message or the features used by those who continue to use our Services
after a certain length of time;
- • To monitor and prevent any problems with our Services, protect the
security of our Services, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal
activities, fight spam, and protect the rights and property of Padurus and others, which may
result in us declining a transaction or the use of our Services;
- • To communicate with you through your email, about offers and promotions
offered by Padurus and others

recommendations, target our marketing messages to groups of our users (those who have a
particular plan with us or have been our user for a certain length of time), and serve relevant
advertisements.
Legal Basis for Collecting and Using Information
Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the
personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
However, we will normally collect personal information from you only:
- • Where we need personal information to perform a contract with you.
- • Where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights.
or
- • Where we have your consent to do so.
We have a legitimate interest in operating our Services and communicating with you as necessary to
provide these Services, for example when responding to your queries, improving our platform,
undertaking marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities.
In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may
otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a
contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision
of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do
not provide your personal information).
Sharing Information
We do not sell our users’ private personal information.
We share information about you in the limited circumstances spelled out below and with appropriate
safeguards on your privacy:
-
• Subsidiaries, Employees, and Independent Contractors:
We may disclose information about you to our subsidiaries, our employees, and individuals who
are our independent contractors that need to know the information to help us provide our
Services or to process the information on our behalf. We require our subsidiaries, employees,
and independent contractors to follow this Privacy Policy for personal information that we share
with them.
-
• Third Party Vendors: We may share information about you
with third party vendors who need to know information about you to provide their services to us,
or to provide their services to you. This group includes vendors that help us provide our
Services to you (like payment providers that process your credit and debit card information,
fraud prevention services that allow us to analyze fraudulent payment transactions, SMS and
email delivery services that help us stay in touch with you), those that assist us with our
marketing efforts (e.g. by providing tools for identifying a specific marketing target group or
improving our marketing campaigns), those that help us understand and enhance our Services (like
analytics providers) who may need information about you in order to, for example, provide
technical or other support services to you. We require vendors to agree to privacy commitments
to share information with them. These vendors are listed in the "List of data sub-processors"
section below.
-
• Legal Requests: We may disclose information about you
in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
-
• To Protect Rights, Property, and Others: We may
disclose information about you when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably
necessary to protect the property or rights of Padurus, third parties, or the
public at large. If we have a good faith belief that there is an imminent danger of death or
serious physical injury, we may disclose information related to the emergency without delay.
-
• Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale
of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in
the unlikely event that Padurus goes out of business or
enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or
acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would
continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to
use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.
-
• With Your Consent: We may share and disclose
information with your consent or at your direction. We may share your information with third
parties with which you authorize us to do so, such as the social media services that you connect
to our site.
-
• Aggregated or De-Identified Information: We may share
information that has been aggregated or reasonably de-identified, so that the information could
not reasonably be used to identify you. For instance, we may publish aggregate statistics about
the use of our Services.
Security
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against
unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so, such as
monitoring our Services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
To enhance the security of your account, we encourage you to enable our advanced security settings,
like Two Step Authentication.
Choices
You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:
- • Limit the Information that You Provide:
If you have an account with us, you can choose not to provide the optional account
information, profile information, and transaction and billing information. Please keep in mind
that if you do not provide this information, certain features of our Services–for example, paid
ones, may not be accessible.
- • Opt-Out of Electronic Communications:
You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us. Just follow the instructions
in those messages. If you opt out of promotional messages, we may still send you other messages,
like those about your account, monitoring alerts and legal notices.
- • Set Your Browser to Reject Cookies:
At this time, Padurus
does not respond to “do not track” signals across all of our Services. However, you can usually
choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using Padurus's website, with the
drawback that certain features of Padurus’s website may not
function properly without the aid of cookies.
- • Close Your Account: If you no
longer want to use our Services, you can close your Padurus account. Please keep in
mind that we may continue to retain your information after closing your account, as described in
Information We Collect, when that information is reasonably needed to comply with (or
demonstrate our compliance with) legal obligations such as law enforcement requests, or
reasonably needed for our legitimate business interests.
