VII. Your Data Protection Rights

Know Your Rights

Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, you may have the following data protection rights:

• To access; correct; update; port; delete; restrict; or object to our processing of Your Personal Information, including to at any time opt-out of receiving marketing by email or SMS.
• You may have the right to lodge a complaint with Your applicable data protection authority regarding our collection and use of Your Personal Information. Please contact Your local data protection authority for more information.
• If Personal Information is collected or processed on the basis of consent, or if you have, for example, consented to receiving marketing emails from Second Catch, you have the right to withdraw Your consent at any time. Withdrawing Your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing We conducted prior to Your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of Your Personal Information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Please note that the above rights may be subject to exceptions and limitations. We cannot, for example, provide Personal Information if it would violate our duty of confidentiality or if We have a legal obligation to retain such data. Second Catch will respond to Your request to exercise Your data protection rights consistent with applicable law.

Exercise Your Rights

To exercise Your rights pursuant to applicable data protection law, you may contact Us via email at support@secondcatch.com. We respond to all requests We receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection law. We may ask you to verify Your identity to help Us respond efficiently to Your request. Note that you can manage Your individual account and profile settings through Your Second Catch account, including contact information, payment details, and preferences.

VIII. Protections for Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from those under 13, without parental notice and consent. We use commercially reasonable efforts to protect the safety and privacy of any child participating in the Services, in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

We use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain verifiable parental consent prior to collecting or using any personal information from those under the age of 13. How We verify this consent can vary according to how the child wishes to participate or based on how the parental authority provides consent. For example, this consent could include, but is not limited to, online methods such as email, a secure portal, text, or offline methods such as fax or mail. Children accounts are associated with the parental authority and thus parents can review any personal information collected from their children after verifying parental consent. Parents can revoke their consent and delete information collected from their children at their discretion.

De-Identified or Aggregated Information

Personal information can be de-identified and / or aggregated where We remove all personally identifiable aspects of the information and thus it is not treated as personal information. This information is often used to provide third parties with insights into improving Our Services, for marketing, investment research or for other legally permissible purposes. These third parties may use and disclose this information for their own business purposes.

Do Not Track Signals

We currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals received from internet browsers.

IX. How to Access and Control Your Personal Data

You can also make choices about the collection and use of Your data by Second Catch. You can control Your Personal Information that Second Catch has obtained, and exercise Your data protection rights, by contacting Second Catch or using the various tools We provide. In some cases, Your ability to access or control Your personal data will be limited, as required or permitted by applicable law. How you can access or control Your personal data will also depend on which services you use. For example, you can choose whether you wish to receive promotional emails, SMS messages, telephone calls, and postal mail from Second Catch, affiliates, or partners.

Not all personal data processed by Second Catch can be accessed or controlled via the tools above. If you want to access or control personal data processed by Second Catch that is not available via the tools above or directly through Second Catch, you can always contact Second Catch at support@secondcatch.com.

X. Retention of Personal Information

We do not retain Personal Information longer than necessary for the purposes for which Personal Information was collected. We retain Personal Information where We have an ongoing legitimate business or legal obligation to do so. Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, We refer to these criteria in order to determine retention period:

• Whether We have a legal or contractual need to retain the data;
• Whether the data is necessary to provide our Service;
• Whether our Users have the ability to access and delete the data within their Second Catch accounts; and
• Whether our Users would reasonably expect that We would retain the data until they remove it or until their Second Catch accounts are closed or terminated.

When We have no ongoing legitimate business need to process Your Personal Information, it will be deleted or anonymized as soon as possible and in accordance with applicable law.

XI. International Transfers

We collect information globally and may transfer, process and store Your information outside of Your country of residence, to wherever We or our third-party service providers operate for the purpose of providing you the Services. This may involve countries where the data protection, privacy rights and other laws may not be as comprehensive as in Your country. Whenever We transfer Your information, We take steps, including preventive measures, designed to protect Your Personal Information.

For all international transfers, We ensure that the recipient of Your Personal Information offers an adequate level of protection by entering into appropriate agreements. All international transfers to a Third Country are made based on an appropriate legal basis, including to a country who has received a finding of adequacy by the European Commission under Article 45 of the GDPR, or on the basis of executed standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (“SCCs”).

Second Catch maintains strict organizational and technical measures to protect Personal Information stored on our, and our trusted third parties’, servers. Access to any Personal Information We process in order to provision the Services is limited through login credentials, multi-factor authentication, access on a need-to-know basis and restricted access to administrative accounts for the employees who require access in order to perform their duties towards you, such as providing support services.

If you want to know more about Second Catch’s international transfers and the measures We take to keep Your Personal Information safe, please reach out to Us via email at support@secondcatch.com.
