Confidentiality and Security


MonetizeAd commits to taking all the necessary measures to prevent and secure the data that’s collected and treated, preventing them from being damaged, destroyed or even stolen. However, we don’t control every risk associated with Internet usage, so there’re always risks associated with the usage of Internet and data sharing online.
No data transmission over the Internet or website can be guaranteed to be secure from intrusion; any transmission is at your own risk. However, we maintain commercially reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information in accordance with data protection legislative requirements.

Third parties access


Your data may be transferred to third parties for compliance with legal obligations to which the Company is subject based on its activity, or as may be required in order to provide the services that those third parties were hired for. Providers with whom MonadPlug has subscribed will need to enter into confidentiality and data processing agreements that are necessary and mandatory under any applicable privacy legislation. We may permit selected third parties such as business partners, suppliers, service providers, agents and contractors who will be subject to obligations to process such information in compliance with the same safeguards that we deploy, to use your personal information.
We may also use third party applications and software for the purposes of creation and maintenance of mailing lists, webform collection, and transmission of social media links. We are not responsible for the privacy practices and policies of such third-party service providers and you are strongly encouraged to review such policies in order to ensure you agree to the processing of your personal data by third parties in the manner described therein. We will however, to such extent as reasonably possible, ensure that third parties we use keep your information secure and agree not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes.
In addition, we may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of a sale of some, or all, of our business and assets or as part of any business restructuring or reorganization, or if we are under a duty to disclose or share your Personal Data in order to comply with any legal obligation. However, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
Finally, as described in the previous section, relevant authorities including credit reference agencies and fraud prevention agencies may be given access to your personal data in connection with our relevant KYC and AML/CFT obligations.

Existance of Automated Decision-making


We do not use automatic decision-making or profiling when processing personal data. This means decisions are not made by robots or computers, and therefore not ‘automated’. However, certain third parties may use certain automated decision-making tools or software. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of others and will take reasonable steps to bring such automated decision-making to your attention, but you are encouraged to become familiar with the privacy practices of any third parties you enter into any agreements with.

Storage limits and retention


We will retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which it was collected and any other permitted linked purpose (for example certain transaction details and correspondence may be retained until the time limit for claims in respect of the transaction has expired or in order to comply with regulatory requirements regarding the retention of such data). So, if information is used for two purposes, we will retain it until the purpose with the latest period expires, but we will stop using it for the purpose with a shorter period one that period expires.
We restrict access to your personal information to those persons who need to use it for the relevant purpose(s). Our retention periods are based on business needs and your information that is no longer needed is either irreversibly anonymized (and the anonymized information may be retained) or securely destroyed.
