MYNE PRIVACY POLICY
MYNE Together, Inc. (“MYNE,” “we,” or “us”) wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose information. This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information that we collect.
DATA COLLECTION PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES
The privacy, safety and trust of our users is top priority for MYNE, and we take seriously the responsibility to safeguard and steward our users’ data. This Policy aims to ensure compliance with the
European General Data Protection Regulation as the current highest standard of data protection and privacy in the world. This Regulation sets out the principles with which any party handling personal data must comply in Europe and provides equal or higher standards of privacy and protection than are required in other parts of the world. As global data protection and privacy standards evolve, MYNE will continue to strive to the highest standards and to implement those standards internationally to the best of our ability. At minimum, we will always meet local standards of data and privacy protection to ensure compliance.
MYNE adheres to the following principles of data protection:
● Data processing must be fair to the data subject;
● Data must only be processed for specific and legitimate purposes as outlined in this Privacy Policy;
● Our applications don’t collect more data than is needed to provide specific value to our users;
● We make commercially reasonable effort to ensure that the data collected through our
technologies is accurate;
● We don’t store personal data longer than needed for the specified purpose;
● We process data in a way that ensures security, integrity, and confidentiality; and
● We can demonstrate compliance with these principles.
Our practices ensure, in compliance with GDPR, that all personal data will be:
● Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to individuals;
● Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public
interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall not be incompatible with the initial purposes;
● Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed;
● Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every commercially reasonable step is taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased, or rectified without delay;
● Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
● Stored for longer periods only insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes
subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organizational measures required by the GDPR to safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals; and
● Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction
or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.
Please keep in mind that when you provide information to us on a third-party site or platform (for example, via our applications), the information you provide may be separately collected by the
third-party site or platform. The information we collect is covered by this privacy policy, and the information the third-party site or platform collects is subject to the third-party site or platform’s privacy practices. Privacy choices you have made on the third-party site or platform will not apply to our use of the information we have collected directly through our applications. Please also keep in mind that our sites and applications may contain links to other sites not owned or controlled by us and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our sites or applications and to read the privacy policies of other sites that may collect your personal information.
WHO RECEIVES YOUR DATA
Data collected by the Myne system is shared with authorized personnel within the organization and, when necessary, the Poverty Stoplight API for processing purposes. Data may also be shared with third-party service providers, such as Heroku and Amazon Web Services, for storage and hosting.
COUNTRIES WHERE DATA IS TRANSFERRED
Myne stores data in Heroku Postgres, which has data centers in the United States and Europe, and Amazon S3, which has data centers globally. Data may be transferred between these locations for storage, processing, or backup purposes.
TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect two basic types of information – personal information and anonymous information – and we may use personal and anonymous information to create a third type of information, aggregate information (also defined in this policy).
“Personal information” means information that identifies (whether directly or indirectly) a particular individual, such as the individual’s name, postal address, email address, and telephone number. When anonymous information is directly or indirectly associated
with personal information, the resulting information is also treated as personal information.
“Anonymous information” means information that does not directly or indirectly identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, an individual. “Aggregate information” means information about groups or categories of individuals, which does not identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual.
In particular, we collect:
● Registration information you provide when you create an account, such as your first name and surname, postal address, email address, phone number, unique personal identifier, username, and password;
● Demographic information, such as date of birth and country of residence;
● Characteristics of protected classifications, such as racial or ethnic origin, color, sex, gender identity and expression, age, and data concerning health including health insurance provider (if
elected);
● Psychographic information and inferences drawn, such as behavioral characteristics, preferences, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities and aptitudes;
● Education information that is not publicly available, such as school name and grades and student identification codes (if elected)
● Information you provide in public forums on our sites and applications, such as your public posts;
● Information sent either one-to-one or within a limited group using our message, chat, post, or
similar functionality, where we are permitted by applicable law to collect this information;
● Information we obtain from a third party, such as a site or platform provider, about use of our
applications on third-party platforms or devices;
● Location information, including precise or approximate location information provided by a mobile or other device interacting with one of our sites or applications, or associated with your
IP address or other online or device identifier, where we are permitted by law to process this information;
● Activity information about your use, and the use by any person(s) you authorize through your account, of our sites and applications, such as the content you view or post, how often you use
our services, and your preferences; and
● Usage, viewing, technical, and device data when you visit our sites, use our applications on third-party sites or platforms, or open emails we send, including your browser or device type,
unique device identifier, and IP address.
HOW WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION
● We collect information you provide to us when you request or purchase services or information
from us, register with us, participate in public forums or other activities on our sites and
applications, or otherwise interact with us using one or more devices.
● We collect information through a variety of technologies, such as cookies, Flash cookies, pixels,
tags, software development kits, and application program interfaces, including when you visit
our sites and applications using one or more devices. Please see Your Controls and Choices for
further information on how to make choices with respect to such data collection.
● We collect information using analytics tools when you visit our sites and applications.
● We acquire information from other trusted sources to update or supplement the information
you provided, or we collected automatically, such as when we validate postal address
information using third-party services. Applicable law may require that you authorize the third
party to share your information with us before we can acquire it.

By doing so, youauthorize us to facilitate this sharing of information, and you understand that the use of shared information will be governed by the social media provider’s privacy policy.
Other Uses and Disclosures
We may also use and disclose Personal Information as we believe to be necessary or appropriate:

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third-party operating any website or service to which the Website links. The inclusion of a link on the Website does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
We recognize the need to provide further privacy protections with respect to information we may collect from children on our sites and applications. Some of the features on our sites and applications are age-gated so that they are not available for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children in connection with those features. When we intend to collect personal information from children, we take additional steps to protect children’s privacy, including:
● Notifying parents about our information practices with regard to children, including the types of personal information we may collect from children, the uses to which we may put that information, and whether and with whom we may share that information;
● In accordance with applicable law, and our practices, obtaining consent from parents for the collection of personal information from their children, or for sending information about our products and services directly to their children;
● Limiting our collection of personal information from children to no more than is reasonably necessary to participate in an online activity; and
● Giving parents access or the ability to request access to personal information we have collected from their children and the ability to request that the personal information be changed or
deleted.
DATA SECURITY, INTEGRITY, AND RETENTION
The security, integrity, and confidentiality of your information are extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures that are designed to protect guest information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification. We regularly review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be aware that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We will retain your information for
the length of time needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
DATA TRANSFER, STORAGE, AND PROCESSING GLOBALLY
We operate globally and may transfer your information to affiliates or third parties in locations around the world for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Wherever your information is transferred, stored, or processed by us, we will take reasonable steps to safeguard the privacy of your information.
These steps may include implementing standard contractual clauses where recognized by law, obtaining your consent, or other lawful means of transferring information.
UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
The “LAST UPDATED” legend at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised. From time to time, we may change this Privacy Policy to accommodate new technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements or for other purposes. We will provide notice to you if these
changes are material and, where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent. Notice may be by email to you at the last email address you provided us, by posting notice of such changes on our sites and applications, or by other means, consistent with applicable law.
