We will only share the personal data you provide online with other entities or business partners who are acting on our behalf for the uses described here. For example, when processing payment for a transaction, SPACES may provide your personal information to a third-party payment processor. If you check the applicable box to consent to disclosing your personally identifiable information to third parties, SPACES may share aggregated user statistics and information with third parties. SPACES does not (and will not) sell or trade your personal information with third parties. We may be required to share your personal information for purposes such as complying with court orders or law enforcement; assisting with identity verification, and to prevent fraud and identity theft; selling SPACES assets or enforcing our agreements and property rights.

ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY FOR CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect personally identifying information from anyone under the age of 13 unless we first obtain permission from the child’s parent or legal guardian. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information provided by a visitor under the age of 13 without permission from a parent or legal guardian, we will delete the information from our records. A child’s parent or legal guardian can also request that the personal information of their child be deleted from our records. For either method described, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete a child’s personal information in a timely manner consistent with applicable law.

SECURITY

We are concerned about ensuring the security of your personal information. Your personal information is collected and stored in a secure cloud database. Information that you submit for your sole personal use through SPACES’s services and applications is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access, and SPACES does not access the unencrypted information without your permission. We use industry-wide, standard, commercially reasonable efforts to protect your personal information from access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction by any unauthorized party. These include physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. We may share information to assist with security operations for scheduled penetration testing, auditing, and continuous improvement of our security practices, including without limitation, exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection. Authorized parties of the information would comply with our current privacy and security policies.

There is no 100% secured platform available in the industry and we cannot guarantee the security of the information, nor can we guarantee that information you supply in connection with use of the website will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet or wireless communication. Any information you transmit to the website is at your own risk. We do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.

If you make an online purchase with us through use of a credit card, we encrypt your credit card number. Where you use a SPACES service or application to store your personally identifiable information for access only by you, and where the information is not submitted to SPACES in order to obtain access to SPACES’s services or applications, such personally identifiable information is encrypted and password-protected, and accessible only by you. If we need to ship something to you, we must share your name and address with a shipping company.

“DO NOT TRACK” PRACTICES

We do not honor do-not-track (“DNT”) signals from browsers or other consumer choice mechanisms regarding the collection of behavioral tracking data, as the Internet industry is still working to determine what DNT means, how to comply with DNT, and how to create a common approach to responding to DNT. For more information on “do not track,” please visit www.allaboutdnt.org.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

We may offer links to sites that are not operated by SPACES. If you visit one of those linked sites, you should review its privacy and other policies. We are not responsible for the policies and practices of other companies.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND PERSONAL INFORMATION

SPACES uses a variety of social media options to communicate and interact with consumers, and has links to certain social media providers available on its website. When interacting with a SPACES presence on those social media websites, you may opt to reveal certain personal information. We may collect the personal information that you make available to us on that page or account, including any information you have made public in connection with that social media service. Any personal information you have chosen to share on any SPACES social media pages will be visible to persons visiting those pages, and privacy on those pages is governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies. Other than to respond to posts or answer questions, SPACES will not use personal information provided on its social media pages without permission from you.

EMAIL AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

SPACES or third parties that it uses may contact you by email or other means at an address that you have provided to us. If you do not want to receive an email from us, please “unsubscribe” through the link that is included in our emails. If you do not want to receive mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information or follow the directions to remove your name from our mailing list.

INFORMATION TRANSFER

Your personally identifiable information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country other than the one in which it was provided, including into the United States. By communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and consent that your personal data is being processed in this way.
