At ProdataKey, our mission is to provide secure solutions that you love to use.  Our security solutions are designed to protect your most valuable assets.  We believe this extends to our handling and treatment of your personal information. 


Scope of This Policy

ProdataKey, Inc. (“ProdataKey,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) respects your privacy and values your trust. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information that we may learn about you when you use https://www.prodatakey.com/ and any other website controlled or owned by ProdataKey that links to this Privacy Policy (the “Site”), our ProdataKey mobile application (the “App”) (available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store), purchase products and services from us, engage with our content, or otherwise use any of our services, whether online or offline (collectively, the “Service”). If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us using the methods set out in the How to Contact Us section at the end of this Privacy Policy.


Agreement to Terms

If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, then you should immediately discontinue use of the Service without providing us with any personal information. 


Personal Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information (a) directly from you, such as when you create an account, contact us, fill out forms, or respond to surveys; (b) from third parties, such as the dealer and administrator of the Service; (c) from the device and browser that you use to access the Service; and (d) through cookies and similar technologies.

​

Cookies

We store certain personal information that is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies. A cookie is a small string of information that a website you visit transfers to your browser for identification purposes. Cookies can be used to follow your activity while using a website or across websites, and that information helps companies understand your preferences and tendencies, as well as improve and personalize your website experience. Some cookies are necessary to operate a website, while others may be functional, analytical, or used for marketing purposes, including targeted advertising, as discussed in more detail below. Cookies on the Site are generally divided into the following categories:

​

 

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are required for the operation of the Site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into password-protected portions of the Site. These cookies are session cookies that are erased when you close your browser.

  • Analytical/Performance Cookies. These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to the Site and understand how such users navigate through the Site (e.g., when and which pages are visited, in what order the pages are visited, and where a user is located).  
    We also use Google Analytics for part of this process. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. Google provides users with the ability to prevent their data from being used by Google Analytics—learn more by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. 

  • Targeting Cookies. These record your visit to the Site and the pages you have visited and the links you have followed, to recognize you as a previous visitor, and to track your activity on the Site and other websites you visit. These cookies are used to display ads on other websites based on your visits to our Site and other online activity. These cookies qualify as persistent cookies because they remain on your device. 


Third-Party Cookies
We may also supplement the personal information we collect from you with information received from third parties, including third parties that have placed their own cookies on your browser or device. These third-party cookies include:

​

 

  1. Wix. We use Wix to provide analytics and security. For more information, visit https://www.wix.com/about/privacy.

  2. Google. We use Google to analyze the use of the Site and App and for marketing purposes. For more information, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US. 


You can also prevent the use of certain cookies by modifying your Internet browser settings, typically under the sections “Help,” “Internet Options,” or “Settings.” If you disable or delete certain cookies in your Internet browser settings, you may still access our Site, however, you might not be able to access or use important functions or features of our Site, and you may, for example, be required to re-enter your log-in details.


Do-Not-Track Signals
At this time, we do not recognize automated “do-not-track” browser signals.


Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for users under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If you are aware of, or suspect that, someone under the age of 13 is using the Service without permission, please notify us immediately by contacting us as detailed in the How to Contact Us section below. If you have questions or concerns about the Internet and privacy for your child, we encourage you to check out the FTC Guidelines for protecting your child’s privacy online.

Our Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information with the following third parties:

​

  • Service providers, including IT outsourcing, contingent workers, and payment processors. In some instances, service providers will be directly responsible to you for their use of your personal information. They may be obliged by law to provide you with additional information regarding the personal information that they hold about you and how and why they process that information. Further information may be provided to you in a separate notice or may be obtained from such service providers directly, for example, via their websites. 

  • Other users, such as other users on the primary account.

  • Business collaborator, such as your landlord, property management, or sales dealer. 

  • Advertising networks to provide you with relevant marketing.

  • Advisers and financial institutions, including auditors, notaries, business continuity support service providers, and legal, tax, and risk and compliance advisors.

  • With third parties in connection with a change to the control or financial status of the company, including a corporate restructuring, sale, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, transfer, assignment of assets, or business merger or divestiture. Personal information and other information may be disclosed in the diligence process with counterparties and others assisting with the transaction and transferred to a successor or affiliate as part of that transaction.

  • Government bodies, dispute resolution organizations, law enforcement agencies, or third parties in connection with (a) responding to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request for personal information that we receive; (b) cooperating in a law enforcement or similar investigation; or (c) otherwise protecting our rights, as applicable.

Security

We maintain reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information. We have implemented various security measures designed to protect the personal information we receive from you through the Service. Whenever you give out personal information online, there is a risk that third parties may intercept and use that information. Although we seek to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information you disclose online. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we assume no liability or responsibility for disclosure of your personal information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized access by third parties, or other causes beyond our control.


You play an important role in keeping your personal information secure. You should not share your username or password with anyone. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, please contact us immediately at privacy@prodatakey.com or using the contact information in the How to Contact Us section below.
 

Links to Other Websites

 For your convenience, we may link to third-party sites and services, or otherwise display third-party content through our Site and/or App to provide increased value to our users. We have no control over these linked sites, each of which has separate privacy and data collection policies and practices independent from us. As such, we have no responsibility or liability for these third parties, independent policies, and actions and are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any such websites. Please note that these other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information, and we encourage you to review their policies before engaging with these third-party sites.


Effective Date and Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is effective as of the date at the top of this policy. ProdataKey has the discretion to update this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage users to check this page periodically for any changes and to stay informed about how we protect the personal information we collect, especially before providing personal information to us through the Service. In the event of a material change to this Privacy Policy, we will provide notice through our Site, App, or by email.


International Personal Information Transfers


We are located in the United States, and the personal information that we collect is stored on servers located in the United States. This means that your personal information will be collected, processed, and stored in the United States, which may have data protection laws that are different from (and sometimes less protective than) the laws of your country or region, such as the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) in the European Union. 


By sending us personal information, you agree and consent to the processing of your personal information in the United States, which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in other countries (particularly the European Economic Area).


We have implemented safeguards designed to ensure that the personal information we process remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy, including when processed internationally or by our third-party service providers and partners. The safeguards we may take at our discretion include, for instance, entering into specific agreements in connection with any onward transfers of personal information. We may implement other mechanisms and adopt similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners. Further details can be provided upon request.


Users in Other Jurisdictions


PDK operates its Service globally. Users from various countries may access our Service. This Privacy Policy addresses our primary privacy commitments where we have a significant user base or where local laws require specific disclosures. If you are a resident of a country, region, or other jurisdiction not specifically covered by this Privacy Policy and you believe you have specific rights under your local data protection laws that are not addressed, please reach out to us at privacy@prodatakey.com with the subject line “International Privacy Inquiry” and specify your country of residence and the nature of your inquiry.
 

Additional Disclosures for Residents of California


For residents of California, this section describes how we collect, use, disclose, “sell” and/or “share” (as defined under California law) the personal information of California residents, and the rights you may have under California law. These disclosures are intended to supplement this Privacy Policy with information required by California law.


To understand what personal information we may have collected about you in the past 12 months, and from where we collected it, please see the Personal Information We Collect section above.


We collect this personal information, as further described in the Our Use of Personal Information section above, to operate, manage, and maintain our business, to provide our products and services, and to accomplish our business purposes and objectives.


We may disclose personal information to the third parties listed above in the Our Disclosure of Personal Information section. Below, we have provided more detail regarding the three ways we disclose your personal information: (a) “sales” of information, (b) “sharing” personal information for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising, and (c) general disclosures of personal information for a business purpose.


“Sale” or “Sharing” of Personal Information
We have marked “sales” in quotation marks because a “sale” under California law broadly includes any disclosure of information in return for any form of value. This value does not need to be monetary, like in a traditional sale. For example, a “sale” can be when a business provides information collected through cookies to an advertising network that it has hired to promote its own ads—but then the advertising network is able to use the cookie data provided for its own purposes, outside of this particular business relationship. Under California law, we are also required to disclose how we “share” personal information with third parties for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising.

​

In the past 12 months, we may have “sold” or “shared” the following categories of personal information to the following third parties:

Device Information

  • Analytics Providers

  • Advertising Networks

Internet Activity

  • Analytics Providers

  • Advertising Networks

We do not sell, or have actual knowledge of any sale of, the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.


Disclosure of Information for a Business Purpose
To manage our business and provide services to you, we sometimes share personal information with third parties. These third parties cannot further collect, sell, share, or use the personal information we share with them except as necessary to perform our purposes, as instructed by us.


In the past 12 months, we may have disclosed the following categories of personal information to the following categories of third parties for our operational business purposes:

Identifiers

  • Service Providers

  • Advisers and Financial Institutions

Financial and Transactional Information

  • Service Providers

  • Advisers and Financial Institutions

Device Information

  • Service Providers

  • Advisers and Financial Institutions

Internet Activity

  • Service Providers

  • Advisers and Financial Institutions

Precise Geolocation

  • Service Providers

  • Advisers and Financial Institutions

Children’s Information

  • Service Providers

  • Advisers and Financial Institutions

Your Rights
Under California law, you have a right to notice, upon collection, of the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for which the information will be used. You have the right to access a copy of the categories and specific pieces of personal information about you that we collect, use, disclose, sell and/or share, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to ask us to delete your personal information, subject to some exceptions. You also have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. Finally, you have the right to be free from discrimination for exercising your rights.


You may exercise your right to opt-out of “sales” or “sharing” by clicking this link and following the instructions: Your Privacy Choices. We also recognize the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) as a valid consumer request to opt out of marketing cookies for the browser that you use to access the Site.


Exercise Your Rights
California residents can exercise their rights to access, correction, or deletion, as discussed above, by submitting a verifiable consumer request to us:

​

​

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.


You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The request must:

​

 

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

​

Responding to Your Verifiable Consumer Requests
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.


We ordinarily respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Unless otherwise requested, any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. Under the CCPA, you may request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information beyond the past 12 months. However, we may decline to provide you that information if doing so would require a disproportionate effort on our part. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. As necessary, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.


We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. Please note, however, before we are able to process your request for access or deletion of personal information, we will need to properly verify your identity for security purposes. If we possess appropriate personal information about you (e.g., name, email, address), we will attempt to verify your identity using that information. If it is not reasonably possible to identify you, we may not be able to respond to your request. 


To use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, we may need the authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the authorized agent signed permission to submit the request on your behalf. We may also require you to verify your identity directly with us.

“Sales” of Personal Information and Targeted Advertising

​

You may exercise your right to opt-out of “sales” or targeted advertising by using the “Your Privacy Choices” link here or in the footer of our homepage. We also process the GPC in a frictionless manner.  We treat such signals as a valid request to opt-out of the “sale” or processing of your personal information for targeted advertising for the browser or device from which the signal is sent. 


Sensitive Personal Information
We will not process your sensitive personal information (as defined by Applicable State Laws) without your prior consent, or as otherwise permitted by law. You may revoke your consent for the processing of sensitive personal information at any time by emailing us at privacy@prodatakey.com.

We will respond to your request consistent with Applicable State Laws. Before we are able to process your request for access, correction, or deletion of personal information, we will need to verify your identity. We may also require an authorized agent to provide proof of your signed permission to submit the request on your behalf. 


If we decline to take action on your request, we will inform you of the reason. You may appeal our decision by contacting us at privacy@prodatakey.com and clearly titling your communication with the subject line “Appeal of Consumer Rights Decision.” We will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decision. If your appeal is denied, we will provide you with a method to contact your state’s Attorney General so that you may submit a complaint.
