Your privacy is important to us. It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website, http://www.purestreams.io, and other sites we own and operate.
In this privacy policy, we seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it and what rights you have in relation to it. If there are any terms in this privacy policy that you do not agree with, please discontinue use of our site and our services.
1. Information we collect
We collect information through various methods which tell us how and when you use our site. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of PureStreams, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
Non-personal identification information
Log data: When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log the standard data provided by your web browser. It may include your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on each page, referring URLs, and other details.
Device data: We may also collect data about the device you’re using to access our website. This data may include the device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, device settings, and geo-location data. What we collect can depend on the individual settings of your device and software. We recommend checking the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider to learn what information they make available to us.
Personal identification information
Personal information: We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us at registration or when updating your profile. We may also obtain information about you when you contact us for any reason. The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the choices you make and the products and features you use.
Registration is not required to use basic services of the website but registration allows you make full use of the features on the site. When you create a user profile, we will collect and process the following personal data as the minimum information required:
· Your email address;
· Your user name;
· Your password.
Once you have created a user profile, you will have the option to add additional personal data to your profile on a voluntary basis. You can amend or delete your personal data in your user profile at any time.
If you are a broadcaster or advertiser, then we may collect additional information to verify your identity or render services to you. These can include but not limited to a work email, phone and payment information.
Payment information is securely stored and processed by Stripe. PureStreams does not have any access to your payment details.
2. Legal bases for processing
We will process your personal information lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. We collect and process information about you only where we have legal bases for doing so. These legal bases depend on the services you use and how you use them, meaning we collect and use your information only where:
· it’s necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract (for example, when we provide a service you request from us);
· it satisfies a legitimate business interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote our services, and to protect our legal rights and interests;
· you give us consent to do so for a specific purpose (for example, you might consent to us sending you our newsletter);
· or we need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.
Where you consent to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time (but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place).
We don’t keep personal information for longer than is necessary. While we retain this information, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. That said, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and cannot guarantee absolute data security. If necessary, we may retain your personal information for our compliance with a legal obligation or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.
3. Collection and use of information

5. International transfers of personal information
The personal information we collect is stored and processed in United States, or where we or our partners, affiliates and third-party providers maintain facilities. By providing us with your personal information, you consent to the disclosure to these overseas third parties.
We will ensure that any transfer of personal information from countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries outside the EEA will be protected by appropriate safeguards, for example by using standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission, or the use of binding corporate rules or other legally accepted means.
Where we transfer personal information from a non-EEA country to another country, you acknowledge that third parties in other jurisdictions may not be subject to similar data protection laws to the ones in our jurisdiction. There are risks if any such third party engages in any act or practice that would contravene the data privacy laws in our jurisdiction and this might mean that you will not be able to seek redress under our jurisdiction’s privacy laws.
6. How long do you keep your information
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). Generally, this means as long as you have an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

By using PureStreams, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the site. If we learn that unauthorized personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records.
