References to "We," "Us," and "Our" pertain to Piacoin. You can find more information about us in the "Details" section at the end of this Policy.

This Privacy Policy is an integral part of our Terms and Conditions and is applicable to information collected online through the Website. It pertains to instances where we act as a data controller for the Personal Data of visitors, users, clients, and customers ("You" or "Your"), wherein we determine the purposes and methods of processing that Personal Data.

Please carefully review this Privacy Policy as it impacts your rights under the law. By using the Website, you confirm that you have read and agreed to abide by this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with any aspect of this Privacy Policy, you are not permitted to use, access, create, or publish on the Website. Please note that this Privacy Policy may undergo changes as we continuously enhance the Website, so we advise checking it periodically.

We retain the right to amend or modify the Privacy Policy periodically without prior notice. Your ongoing use of the Website subsequent to the posting of any changes to these terms implies your acceptance of those changes. In the event that we intend to apply retroactive modifications or amendments to this Privacy Policy or to Personal Data already in our possession, we will notify you of such changes or amendments.


Data

Piacoin aims to deliver optimal service to you. In order to achieve this, there may be occasions when we require information from you. We make a concerted effort to only collect necessary information for specific functions or activities, and we adhere to the guidelines outlined in this privacy policy when utilizing it. From your usage of the Website, we gather two primary types of information: Personal Data and Non-Personal Data.


Secure Data

We adhere to widely accepted industry standards to safeguard the information transmitted to us and upon receipt. Utilizing appropriate administrative, technical, and physical measures, we ensure the protection of Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, unauthorized alteration, disclosure, access, misuse, or any other illicit forms of processing. This encompasses employing firewalls, password protection, and other access and authentication controls.

We implement HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure), an internet communication protocol, to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data exchanged between your computer and www.piacoin.com. HTTPS guarantees that your interaction with us is:

  • Encrypted: Data exchanged with us remains secure from unauthorized interception. Browsing www.piacoin.com ensures that your activities cannot be tracked across multiple pages, nor can data exchanges between your computer and www.piacoin.com be compromised.
  • Integral: HTTPS maintains the integrity of data, preventing any modification or corruption during transfer.
  • Authenticated: The HTTPS protocol verifies your communication with us, ensuring continuous interaction with our servers.
  • However, it's important to note that no internet transmission method or electronic storage system is entirely foolproof. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information you transmit to us or store on the Website, and you do so at your own risk. While we implement rigorous physical, technical, and managerial safeguards, we cannot rule out the possibility of unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of such information. If you suspect a compromise of your Personal Data, please reach out to us at [email protected].

    In the event of a security breach, we make every effort to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective measures. Additionally, we may issue a notice through the Website to inform users of any security breaches.

    Cookie Policy

    A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

    Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

    Open Spaces

    Please keep in mind that any information you share in publicly accessible areas, such as forums or comment sections, becomes publicly available, and can be accessed and used by anyone. Exercise caution when disclosing information, and refrain from posting any Personal Data that you wish to keep confidential. Refer to the relevant guidelines, if available, regarding the use of our chat rooms and other community spaces for further details.


    Advertising

    To ensure that the advertisements you encounter on the Website, as well as those from our advertisers' services and across the internet, are relevant to your interests, third parties such as service providers, advertisers, and advertising companies may collect data regarding your online activities across various sites, applications, and devices over time. This aggregated information helps in understanding audience segments, enabling advertisers to target specific audience groups for particular ads. It's important to clarify that we do not utilize personally identifiable information in this process.

    Opting Out: You have the option to opt-out of receiving interest-based advertising on your computer or laptop from select companies, including us and our service providers.

    For those who wish to opt-out of receiving interest-based advertising on their mobile devices, please refer to the advertising preferences information provided on support.apple.com for iOS devices or support.google.com for Android devices.

    Opting out does not mean that you will stop receiving advertising altogether. Rather, it means that the specific company or companies from which you have opted out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your web preferences and browsing patterns.

    In the course of providing the Website and Services, we reserve the right to undergo changes in ownership or corporate structure. This may entail selling certain assets associated with the Website. Consequently, it's important to acknowledge that in such instances, we may transfer some or all of your information to a company that acquires all or part of our assets, or to another entity with which we merge. In such cases, we will endeavor to ensure that the acquiring party adheres, to the extent feasible, to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy, as it may be updated periodically. However, we cannot guarantee that the acquiring company or the merged entity will maintain identical privacy practices or handle your information in the same manner as described in this Privacy Policy.
