Unitstake does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We share personal data only to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this Policy and only with trusted parties who are contractually bound to process it in accordance with applicable data protection law.

• analytics providers (for usage analysis and Aggregator optimisation);
• email and marketing Aggregator providers (for newsletter and communications management);

All service providers are engaged under a written data processing agreement that requires them to: process personal data only on Unitstake’s documented instructions; implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures; not engage sub-processors without prior authorisation; and assist Unitstake in meeting its data protection obligations.

Legal Disclosures. We may disclose personal data where required by law, court order, or binding regulatory requirement, including in response to lawful requests from law enforcement or governmental authorities, to protect the rights, property, or safety of Unitstake, its users, or others; or in connection with legal proceedings or dispute resolution.

We will notify affected users of any material change in the identity of the data controller through a prominent notice on the Aggregator.

International Transfers. Some of the uses and disclosures mentioned in this Privacy Policy may involve the transfer and processing of your personal data to and in various countries that may have different levels of privacy protection than your country. Personal data may be accessed by our offices and service providers worldwide, including in countries outside the United Kingdom and European Economic Area (EEA). By using our Aggregator, you acknowledge and agree to such transfers and processing of your data in various other countries. We implement appropriate safeguards to protect such personal data, which may include, but are not limited to, ICO's International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or European Commission-approved standard contractual clauses.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal data. In the EU and UK, you have the following rights:

• Right of access. You have the right to confirm with us whether your personal data is processed, and if it is, to request access to that personal data.
• Right to rectification. You have the right to rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning you.
• Right to erasure. You have the right to ask us to erase personal data concerning you if it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or in other circumstances provided under applicable law.
• Right to restriction of processing. You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain situations (e.g. if you contest the accuracy of your data).
• Right to data portability. You have the right to receive personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit that data to another entity where technically feasible.
• Right to object.

If you believe your rights have been violated, you can file a complaint with your local data protection authority, including, in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Data Security

Any personal data you provide to Unitstake is stored on secure servers. Unitstake uses reasonable technical and organisational measures (a) that are designed to safeguard personal data against loss, theft, unauthorised use, disclosure, or modification; and (b) to ensure the integrity of the personal data. In certain circumstances, we hash your personal data, which transforms it into an unrecognisable string of characters. Please be aware that no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. To help us protect your privacy, you should maintain the secrecy of your credentials (username and password), which you may have in connection with the Aggregator.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as may be required by applicable law. As a general rule, we keep your personal data while you continue to access or use this Aggregator. Following a period of inactivity, we will retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfil any outstanding legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations.

Links to Third-Party Websites

Unitstake may provide links to third-party websites. Since we do not control such websites and are not responsible for any information you may provide on them, we encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any of your personal data.

Children’s Policy

Our Aggregator is not intended for individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from an individual under 18, we will promptly delete such data.
