The Site and Services are hosted in the United States. If you access the Site or Services from any other region, please be advised that through your continued use of the Site or Services, you are transferring your Personal Information to the United States and, where the laws of your country allow you to do so, you consent to that transfer and authorize us to store and use your data in the United States.

We participate in the EU-U.S. and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce to ensure an adequate level of protection for certain Personal Information received on the Site in the U.S. from European Union member countries and Switzerland.

We do not knowingly share, sell, trade, or rent Users' Personal Information to others, except as described in this Privacy Policy or on the Site. For example, we may share Personal Information as follows:

-
with service providers ("Service Providers") such as contractors, vendors and consultants who work with us for the operation of the Site or other service we offer and who need access to such information to carry out their work for us (subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and other appropriate confidentiality and security measures);

when a User gives consent to do so including, and not limited to, if we notify a User through the Site that the information provided will be shared in a manner and a User provides such information;
-
when we are lawfully authorized or required to do so, or we believe in good faith that doing so is reasonably necessary or appropriate to comply with the law or legal processes or respond to lawful requests or legal authorities, including responding to lawful subpoenas, warrants, or court orders;

We may also share the information we have collected when a User agrees to receive information from third parties (e.g., by choosing to "opt-in" to such communications). If a User is presented with an opportunity to receive information and/or marketing offers from one or more third parties, and consents to receiving such information, Heybeta is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of such third parties and, therefore, a User should review those privacy policies and practices prior to agreeing to share their Personal Information. If the User later decides that they no longer want to receive communication from a third party, they will need to contact that third party directly. Nothing herein restricts the sharing of aggregated or anonymized information, which may be shared with third parties without User consent.
Our Site and Services contain links to, and allow you to share content on, third party websites and services. The fact that we link to a website or service or allow you to share content on them is not an endorsement, authorization or representation that we are affiliated with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. This privacy policy applies only as provided in the scope section above. Other websites and services follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the Personal Information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.

You control the personal data you share with us and you can access or rectify this data at any time. If you have registered an account on Heybeta, you can submit a request to support@heybeta.com to access, correct, delete, or modify the personal data you provided to us and associated with your account. We also provide you the opportunity to object, restrict or withdraw consent where applicable for the use of data you have provided to us by submitting a request to support@heybeta.com. We will export the data you shared through our services to a third party at any time upon your request. You can also cancel your account by submitting a request to support@heybeta.com.

We will retain de-personalized information after your account has been closed.
We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have lawful bases. Lawful bases include consent (where you have given consent), contract (where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you), and "legitimate interests". Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw or decline your consent at any time and where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object.
