Tracking and Cookies Data

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier. They are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. We also use tags and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyse our Service. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to tell you when a cookie is being sent. If you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some parts of our Service. Examples of cookies we use:

  • Preference Cookies. To remember your preferences and settings.

  • Security Cookies. For security purposes.

​

Storage and Transfer of Your Information

We use the following third-party Service Providers to run our Service. Each processes your data under its own privacy policy, and only for the purposes described here.

Emails you send us are stored by our email provider. Where any of these providers store or process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the transfer is covered by the section below.

​

Newsletter, legal basis and consent

When you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address. Legal basis for processing: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation). Consent: you give your consent by signing up to receive it using the steps described above. You can withdraw your consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter.

Transfer of Information Outside the EEA

Some of our Service Providers store or process data outside the EEA, including in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards approved under the GDPR, including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. We will also transfer your information outside the EEA to comply with a legal obligation (for example, a court order). We will make sure appropriate safeguards are in place before any such transfer.

Note: the EU-US Data Privacy Framework is currently valid but is under legal challenge at the Court of Justice of the European Union. We will update this policy if the legal position changes.

​

Use of Data

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

  • To provide and maintain our Service

  • To notify you about changes to our Service

  • To let you take part in interactive features of our Service when you choose to

  • To provide customer support

  • To gather analysis or useful information so we can improve our Service

  • To monitor the usage of our Service

  • To detect, prevent and address technical issues

  • To send you news, special offers and general information about goods, services and events we offer that are similar to those you have already bought or asked about, unless you have opted out

​

Legal Basis for Processing Under GDPR

If you are in the EEA, our legal basis for collecting and using your Personal Data depends on the data and the context in which we collect it. We may process your Personal Data because:

  • We need to perform a contract with you

  • To provide services or products to you

  • You have given us permission to do so

  • The processing is in our legitimate interests and is not overridden by your rights

  • For payment processing purposes

  • To comply with the law

​

Retention of Data

We will keep your Personal Data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. We will keep and use your Personal Data to the extent needed to comply with our legal, revenue and accounting obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements and policies. We will also keep Usage Data for internal analysis. Usage Data is generally kept for a shorter period, unless it is used to strengthen security or improve our Service, or we are legally required to keep it longer.

​

Transfer of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to and kept on computers located outside your state, country or other jurisdiction, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. If you are outside Ireland and choose to give us information, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to Ireland and process it there. Your consent to this policy, followed by your submission of such information, represents your agreement to that transfer. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to make sure your data is treated securely and in line with this policy. No transfer will take place to an organisation or a country unless there are adequate controls in place, including the security of your data.

​

Disclosure of Data

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation

  • Protect and defend the rights or property of Built.Over.45

  • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service

  • Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public

  • Protect against legal liability

​

Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

​

"Do Not Track" Signals

We do not support Do Not Track ("DNT"). Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to tell websites you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable Do Not Track in the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.

​

Your Data Protection Rights Under GDPR

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have certain data protection rights. We aim to take reasonable steps to let you correct, amend, delete or limit the use of your Personal Data. If you want to know what Personal Data we hold about you, or want it removed from our systems, please contact us. In certain circumstances, you have the following rights:

  • The right to access, update or delete the information we have on you.

Stripe adheres to the standards set by PCI-DSS, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort of brands such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.
