We provide a cloud-native enterprise data catalog and discovery and collaboration platform (the “Services”). We value our relationships with our community members, enterprise customers, users, and site visitors and know that data privacy is important. This privacy policy explains how and why we handle information collected through data.world, associated sites, forums, channels and any other app we provide (collectively, our “Site”). This privacy policy is part of our Terms of Use and our enterprise software agreements.

If you are located anywhere outside of the United States, please be aware that information collected, including any category of personal information (“Personal Data”), will be accessed from, transferred to, processed in, and stored in the United States. The laws in the United States regarding Personal Data may be different from the laws of other countries.  By accessing or using data.world, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your information, including Personal Data, in the United States.

We support your ability to work and post datasets on the private or open side of our Site. A dataset, data project or organization may be designated as either: (i) private, which is only accessible by you and other invited Members or Users, or (ii) open, in which case it is available to the public who access the Site and other Visitors, Members and Users. 

If you are a Member or User, please pay special attention to whether you are uploading a Submission with Personal Data to the OPEN or the PRIVATE side of our Site. We do not monitor your Submissions to determine whether or not they contain any Personal Data.

We collect information about you directly from you, from third-parties, and automatically through your use of the data.world Site and Services. 

We store the information that we receive from social networks with other information that we collect from you or receive about you. We do not collect or access your third-party social network passwords nor post content on your behalf. Any third-party social networking site controls the information it collects from you. For information about how they may use and disclose your information, including any information you make public, please consult their respective privacy policies. We have no control over how any third-party site uses or discloses the Personal Data it collects, discloses, or retains about you.

Children’s Privacy. Our Site is intended for use by general audiences and is not directed to or intended for use by children. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Data from children younger than the age of 13. If you believe that we have unintentionally received Personal Data about a minor under the age of 13 years old, please contact us at the numbers below.

E. Purpose and Use of Personal Data

We use the information collected to fulfill the Services you have requested and to provide a more personalized user experience. The type of information collected, used, or processed may depend on the type of Service you have selected.

F. Information Retention & Accuracy

We rely on the accuracy of the information provided directly to us and encourage you to ensure that the information you provide is accurate, complete and reliable based upon its intended use. 

We will retain your information for a period of time consistent with us providing the Services as described in this privacy policy. We retain your information for as long as needed to continue the ongoing business relationship to provide the Services to you. We also retain information as long as necessary to comply with legal obligations; resolve disputes; or to enforce our agreements. We maintain procedures designed for the secure disposal or destruction of Personal Data. You may contact us at any time at privacy@data.world to delete your account and data.

Company affiliates may act for us for any of the purposes contained in this privacy policy, including our current and future parent company, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and ownership with data.world.

We only share or disclose information with third-party service providers to the extent necessary to provide the requested Services. For example, these providers may be assisting us in such functions as:

When you submit your payment information, you are authorizing Stripe and Braintree, our third-party payment processors, to collect, retain, process, and disclose the financial information you provide as part of that subscription process as well as the information Stripe and Braintree collect from you using cookies or other similar means. Stripe agrees to use that information in accordance with its privacy policy located at https://stripe.com/us/privacy, and Braintree in accordance with its privacy policy located at https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/braintree-privacy-policy. 

These companies are prohibited from retaining, sharing, storing, or using the Personal Data for any secondary purposes. By contract, we require our sub-processors to maintain appropriate security and privacy measures with respect to  PersonalData in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, 

We may also share your information in the following ways:

H. Cookies and Similar Technologies

When you use our Site, we and our service providers use cookies and other mechanisms to track information about your use, navigation, and access of our Site and store it in log files.

Users, Visitors, and Members in the United States may opt out of many third-party ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by NAI members.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Site or on other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be effective. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at www.networkadvertising.org.
