We will display your Personal Information in your profile page and elsewhere on the site according to the preferences you set in your account. Any information you choose to provide should reflect how much you want others to know about you. Please consider carefully what information you disclose in your profile page and your desired level of anonymity. You can review and revise your profile information at any time. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may also share or disclose your information with your consent, for example if you use a third party application to access your account (see below). Through certain features of the site, you may also have the ability to make some of your information public. Public information may be broadly and quickly disseminated.

Your personal data may also be shared with companies, organizations in the RebelBase Platform or to third parties as described below:

If you are an organization: The RebelBase Platform allows the Organization Administrator of an Organization the ability to set certain settings in the profile of the members of the Organization. Thus, for each Organization, the Administrator decides which information is available for access or review by entrepreneurs and/or other Organizations, and which information is not to be disclosed, or is disclosed to selected entrepreneurs and/or other Organizations, according to the policies of the Organization. Please note that (1) the default settings that are set by an Organization Administrator may change from time to time; (2) each Organization may opt for different default settings. While the RebelBase Platform includes initial defaults, RebelBase has no control over the choice of a setting or the change in a default setting by an Organization’s Administrator.

If you are an entrepreneur: If you are an entrepreneur and you have posted or uploaded information about you and/or your team, this information is disclosed to the Organizations to whom you have chosen to disclose the information. Additionally, if you join a competition, your Basic Application Information will be disclosed to such organizations, regardless of your designation, unless you opt out. The disclosure of Basic Application Information will occur regardless of whether you complete the application.

Legally Required Disclosure: Under certain circumstances, disclosure of your personal data may be required by law. RebelBase may disclose your personal data (1) if, in its own best judgment, it is required by law to do so in order to comply with a facially valid judicial or governmental subpoena, warrant, bankruptcy proceedings, or other order, or (2) to a government institution that has asserted its lawful authority to obtain the information, or (3) when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud.

Change of Ownership: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will notify you (for example, via email and/or a prominent notice on our website) of any change in control or use of your Personal Information or Files, or if either become subject to a different Privacy Policy. We will also notify you of choices you may have regarding the information.

Non-private or Non-Personal Information:We may disclose your non-private, aggregated, or otherwise non-personal information, such as usage statistics of our site.

External Links and Content: Our Site includes links to other Web sites whose privacy practices may differ from those of RebelBase. If you submit personal information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy statements. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy statement of any website you visit.

Can I access or change my personal data?

If you are a registered user, you may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information provided in your registration or account profile by changing your “account settings.” If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may update or delete it by making the change on your account settings. In some cases we may retain copies of your information if required by law. If you wish to delete/remove/deactivate your profile, remove your testimonial from our site, or opt out of sharing Basic Application Information, of any questions about your Personal Information on our site, please contact privacy@rebelbase.co. We will respond to your inquiry within 30 days. Please note, however, that there might be a delay in deleting information from our servers and backed-up versions might exist after deletion.

Data Retention

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services, you may email us at privacy@rebelbase.co. Please note, however, that there might be latency in deleting information from our servers and backed-up versions might exist after deletion. In addition, we do not delete from our servers files that you have in common with other users.

How do we protect your information?

We do not use vulnerability scanning and/or scanning to PCI standards. We only provide articles and information. We never ask for credit card numbers. We use regular malware Scanning.

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

What about Uploaded Documents?

Documents that are uploaded to the RebelBase Platform for sharing are stored at a third party data-storage service. All uploads and downloads are transmitted through the web between users and the data storage service using the same encryption techniques as those that are used with personal data. However, uploaded media or documents are neither stored redundantly, nor backed up. Therefore, we recommend that RebelBase users keep back-up copies of their documents if they upload them to the rebelbase.co website.

When will RebelBase contact me?

RebelBase will communicate with you in response to your requests for service or customer support. We will contact you by phone or by email, according to your preference. RebelBase will send you service-related emails if it becomes necessary to do so. RebelBase may send you an email in order to notify you of updates to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, or other agreement that you have with RebelBase. We may also send you an email in order to notify you of new products, or services or features. If you no longer wish to receive these emails, you may opt out of them by emailing us. For system generated emails (in response to you or other RebelBase users actions) the majority of them are configurable under settings. If you do not want to receive any emails from RebelBase, you can opt out by deactivating your account by contacting privacy@rebelbase.co.

Third-party disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when it’s release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following: Users can visit our site anonymously. Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website. Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on the page specified above.

You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:

1. On our Privacy Policy Page
2. Email

Can change your personal information:

1. By emailing us
2. By logging in to your account
3. By sending us a support ticket

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?

It’s also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

We will notify you via email within 72 hours. We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

En Europe, according art 33 (GDRP) “notification of a personal data breach to the supervisory authority”, in case of a personal data breach, our controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority competent.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. We collect your email address in order to:

1. Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
2. Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.
3. Send you additional information related to your product and/or service.
4. Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after they join to our site or if they sign up to our newsletter.

To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:

1. Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
2. Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
3. Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
4. Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
5. Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
6. Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email or reach out to us through email.
