We have no control over or responsibility regarding the information collected from you by others, such as third-party websites that you access through links on our Website. Instead, such information practices are governed by those entities’ privacy policies. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party websites for information on how those entities collect and use your information.
Personal information means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could be reasonably associated or linked with a particular person or household.

These communications may include telemarketing messages, through the use of email, landline phone, fax, cellular phone, and text messages (including SMS and MMS). We may use an automatic telephone dialing system (or “auto-dialer”), which may employ artificial or pre-recorded voice, artificial intelligence generated communications, or “robotexts.” Your carrier’s standard rates and charges may apply. How often we send you communications will vary based on the services you request and how we provide such services. You have the right to opt-out of further communications at any time either by responding “STOP” to a text message, orally communicating your preference to no longer receive calls on a telephone call, or by [responding to an email message indicating your intention to unsubscribe/clicking the “Unsubscribe” link on an email message].

How We Use Your Information
3Cloud may use the information it collects in a variety of ways for its business or commercial purposes, such as to:
How We Disclose Your Information
We may disclose your personal information to third parties to help provide our Services to you. For instance, we may disclose your information with our service providers to respond to your requests or to provide customer service. We may also provide your personal information to third parties who assist us in providing certain services. For example, we may provide the information we collect from you to our cloud hosting service providers, or our payment card processing providers. We may also disclose your information to our affiliates.
We may also disclose your information for the following purposes:
We may disclose your information to the following types of entities and third parties:
Over the last 12 months, we have disclosed for a business purpose the following categories of personal information:

Categories of Personal Information Sold or Shared
We have not “sold” or “shared”, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), personal information (including sensitive personal information) to third parties over the last 12 months. Please note that “sale” of personal information does not include those instances when such information is part of a merger, acquisition, or other transaction involving all or part of our business. If we sell all or part of our business, make a sale or transfer of assets, or are otherwise involved in a merger or other business transaction, we may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of that transaction. If such transaction materially affects the manner in which your personal information is processed, we will notify you of such change prior to its implementation.
How Your Information is Stored, Transferred, and Secured
Data Transfers
3Cloud’s operations are headquartered in the United States. If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and you use our Services, this may involve transferring your personal information outside of the EEA and to the United States. Many of our external resources are based outside of the EEA, so processing of your personal information may involve a transfer of information outside of the EEA.
Retention and Deletion of Personal Information
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our Services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Retention periods will be determined taking into account the type of information that is collected and the purpose for which it is collected. Under applicable regulations, we will keep records containing client personal information, account opening documents, communications and anything else as required by applicable laws and regulations. We will not retain your personal information longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes for which the information was collected.
We may rectify or remove incomplete or inaccurate information, at any time and at our own discretion.
Securing Your Information
3Cloud takes the privacy and security of your information seriously, and uses reasonable, appropriate and customary procedures and technologies to help protect the confidentiality of any personal information we collect. 3Cloud employs reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect the information we collect, process, and store. However, no website, network, or system can be absolutely protected against intentional or malicious intrusion attempts despite taking appropriate and reasonable precautions. Furthermore, 3Cloud does not control the devices, computer or network through which you access the Website or over which you may choose to send personal information or other information to us, and therefore cannot prevent potential interceptions or compromises to your information while in transit. 3Cloud makes no guarantee as to the security, integrity or confidentiality of any information transmitted to or from us. 3Cloud is committed to safeguarding your information to the best of its ability but cannot guarantee the security of electronic communications or transmission made over the Internet.
Cookies
The Website uses cookies – small data files stored by your web browser on your device’s hard drive – to track which areas of our Website are used the most and to help us make our Website more informative and user-friendly, and other purposes as described in this Policy.
3Cloud may receive, store and use the information you enter on our Website or which is collected during your visit to our Services. Information collected via cookies or similar technologies will generally not personally identify you, but may include the date and time of your visit, pages accessed, the web browser you use, your IP address, the internet address of any website from which you linked directly to our Website and related types of information.
Our Website uses the following types of cookies:
Your Cookie Choices
You are in control of how you want to allow cookies to be used on your devices. Most internet browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You may set your browser to block or otherwise control what cookies your browser or device accepts via your settings. Additionally, you can choose to modify your settings and delete cookies that are otherwise stored on your device. Please note that, if you choose not to accept cookies, some Website features and the personalization of our Services may no longer work for you. Please consult the instructions provided by your browser or your mobile device manufacturer to determine how you can limit the placement of and/or remove cookies or other similarly used technologies.
“Do Not Track” Signals
Our Website is not currently designed to respond to “Do Not Track” signals. “Do Not Track” is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable “Do Not Track” by visiting the “Preferences” or “Settings” page of your web browser. Do Not Track is different from Global Privacy Controls (“GPC”), which may notify websites of consumers’ privacy preferences regarding the sale or sharing of Personal Information, or the use of Sensitive Personal Information.
Third parties may collect data that relates to you. We cannot control third parties’ responses to do-not-track signals or other such mechanisms. Third parties’ use of data relating to you and responsiveness to do-not-track signals is governed by their respective privacy policies.
Children’s Privacy
All of our Services, including our Website, is intended for adult audiences, and is not directed to or meant for individuals under the age of 16 (“Children”). As such, we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16, and Children under 16 may not use our Website or any other Services. If you are under 16, do not attempt to register for or use any of our Services, including our Website, and do not provide us any personal information about yourself.
If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has violated this Privacy Policy and provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from Children without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
Privacy Information for California Residents
3Cloud has in place policies and procedures to facilitate the exercise of privacy rights available to California residents. If you are a California resident, California law requires us to disclose the following information with respect to our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.
Please contact us utilizing the methods listed in the “Contact Us” Section below in relation to exercising these rights. We may ask you to provide information about yourself so that we can verify your identity as part of this process. This information may include your name, email address, and any other information necessary to reasonably verify your identity, to ensure that your information is not shared with anyone impersonating you. We may ask for additional information if we have difficulty confirming your identity. Once we have verified your identity, we will work to fulfill your request in a timely manner. Please note there may be some situations in which we are unable to fulfill your request, such as if we cannot find any information about you within our systems. Additionally, we may not be able to honor a deletion request in some situations, such as if your information is necessary to fulfill the Services you requested or meet a legal obligation. We will inform you whether we can fulfill your rights request. We will not share information or otherwise honor requests unless we can confirm the request is a “verifiable request”.
Under California law a consumer can appoint an “authorized agent” to make certain verifiable requests upon their behalf, such as the right to know what information we collect about the consumer or to request deletion of the consumer’s information. An “authorized agent” may submit a request on behalf of a California resident who has authorized the agent to act on their behalf. Because the security and privacy of your information is paramount, we will ask that you identify such persons and directly confirm that such persons are authorized to act as your agent and exercise your applicable rights under California law in such situations. This may require us to contact you directly and alert you that an individual has claimed to be your agent and is attempting to access or delete your information. We will also independently verify your identity to ensure that an unauthorized person is not attempting to impersonate you and exercise your rights without authorization. We will not share your information or honor any other requests in those situations where you cannot or do not grant permission in writing for an identified authorized agent to act on your behalf, or where we cannot independently verify your identity.
Please also note that, in many circumstances, 3Cloud is a “service provider” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and its customers are the “businesses.” Therefore, 3Cloud customers, and not 3Cloud, determine how and why personal data submitted to the 3Cloud Service is used, either by or at the direction of such customers.
As businesses, 3Cloud’s customers are responsible for disclosing and responding to the rights of individuals with respect to their personal data and other information regarding the collection and use of that personal data in accordance with the CCPA. If we are a service provider and receive your request, we will forward your request to the appropriate business.
If you are a California resident and have any questions about this Privacy Policy, our practices, your personal information, or your rights and choices under applicable laws, please contact us at the information below.
Your California Privacy Rights Regarding Direct Marketing Information
California residents have the right to request information from a company regarding the manner in which it shares certain categories of personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, in addition to the rights set forth above.
Under California law, you have the right to send us a request at the designated address listed below in the “Contact Us” section to receive the following information:
To make such a request, please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, and attest to the fact that you are a California resident. Please also provide a current California address for our response. You may make this request in writing to us at the address provided in the “Contact Us” Section. Any such request must include “California Privacy Rights Direct Marketing Information Request” in the first line of the description, and include your name, street address, city, state and ZIP code. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through the address provided for this purpose below.
Note that responsive information may be provided in a standardized format that is not specific to you.
Privacy Rights Information for European Union Data Subjects
As provided under applicable law and subject to any limitations in such law, you may have the following rights:
Cookies. Opt-out of non-necessary cookies.
Access. You may ask us to provide you with a copy of the personal data we maintain about you, including a machine-readable copy of the personal data that you have directly provided to us, and request certain information about its processing.

Data Portability. You may request that 3Cloud transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
Consent Withdrawal. You may withdraw any consent you previously provided to us regarding the processing of your personal data at any time and free of charge. We will apply your preferences going forward. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before you withdrew your consent.
Right Not to Be Subject to Automated Individual Decision-Making. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit your request by contacting us.
Please provide enough information to identify yourself, including your full name and address and any additional identity information we may reasonably request from you and let us know what right you want to exercise and the information to which your request relates. We reserve the right to verify your identity in connection with any requests regarding personal data to help ensure that we provide the information we maintain to the individuals to whom it pertains and allow only those individuals or their authorized representatives to exercise rights with respect to that information.
If you make a request, we will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Note that applicable laws contain certain exceptions and limitations to each of these rights. We may reject your request, as permitted by applicable law.
Please also note that, in many circumstances, 3Cloud is a “data processor” under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) and its customers are the “data controllers.” Therefore, 3Cloud customers, and not 3Cloud, determine how and why personal data submitted to the 3Cloud Service is used, either by or at the direction of such customers.
As data controllers, 3Cloud’s customers are responsible for disclosing and responding to the rights of individuals with respect to their personal data and other information regarding the collection and use of that personal data in accordance with the GDPR. If we are a data processor and receive your request, we will forward your request to the appropriate data controller.
HOW TO CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY
We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your personal data. If you are an EU data subject and wish to report a complaint or if you feel that 3Cloud has not addressed your concern in a satisfactory manner, you have the right under the GDPR to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, including in your country of residence, place of work, or where you believe an incident took place.
The EU Commission has a list of supervisory authorities here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.htm.
