3. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents (“third parties”) who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. These third parties may include payment processors, cloud hosting providers, analytics providers, customer support tools, and any other service providers necessary to operate the Services. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct.
4. WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES?
The Services may link to third-party websites, online services, or mobile applications and/or contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, services, or applications. Accordingly, we do not make any guarantee regarding any such third parties, and we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the use of such third-party websites, services, or applications. The inclusion of a link towards a third-party website, service, or application does not imply an endorsement by us. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this privacy notice. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the Services. You should review the policies of such third parties and contact them directly to respond to your questions.
5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information.
6. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS AND NOSTR AUTHENTICATION?
Our Services may offer you the ability to register and log in using your Nostr cryptographic key pair or third-party social media account details. When you authenticate via your Nostr key, we receive your public key (npub) and can access your publicly available Nostr profile information and follow list. We do not have access to your private key, and we cannot recover or reset it if lost. Where you choose to log in using a third-party social media account, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such a platform.
We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this privacy notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider or the Nostr protocol. We recommend that you review any applicable third-party privacy notices to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information.
7. PUBLICLY AVAILABLE NOSTR DATA AND THIRD-PARTY DATA
The Brainstorm Service processes publicly available data from the Nostr decentralized protocol to generate Trust Scores. This data is published by Nostr users to public relays and is freely accessible to anyone on the network. Company does not “collect” this data from individuals in the traditional sense; rather, we read and analyze it from public sources.
Trust Scores generated by the Service may relate to individuals who are not users of our Services and who have not agreed to this privacy notice. Because this data is publicly available on the Nostr network, our processing of it does not require the consent of the individuals to whom it relates.
If you are a Nostr user and you have questions or concerns about how your publicly available data is processed by the Service, you may contact us using the information provided in Section 14 below.
8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at support@nosfabrica.com.
10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
11. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Services. Nostr protocol data is processed in real time and may be cached temporarily to improve Service performance. Payment records are retained as required by applicable law and our accounting obligations. If you request deletion of your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within thirty (30) days, except where we are required to retain it by law.
12. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS (CALIFORNIA AND OTHER STATES)
If you are a resident of California or another state with applicable privacy legislation, you may have the right to: (a) request access to the personal information we have collected about you; (b) request deletion of your personal information; (c) request correction of inaccurate personal information; and (d) opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@nosfabrica.com. We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
13. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?
We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification.
