How do we process the collected data?

We use the data we collect from you for the following purposes:
  • We gather Personal Information, such as your name, email address, and phone number, as well as information about your company and its needs via our contact form for the sole purpose of responding to requests and interacting with you as a client and in ways that we communicate with you.

  • We gather Usage Data with cookies and by other methods for analytics purposes in order to provide and manage the Website, improve your experience with it, and monitor its performance in order to prevent, discover, and address any technical problems. We also do this to enhance our marketing activities.
If you send us your Personal Information and consent to this Policy, we may combine it with previously collected website Usage Data. In order to better understand our users and the strength of our marketing strategies, we may additionally associate, store, and analyze any publicly accessible data connected to the email address you shared with us (e.g. your company's name, industry, size).

We use your data in accordance with laws and regulations

For most of our data gathering and processing, as described in our policy, we ask for your explicit consent. In cases when data collection is performed for other reasons, we inform you and explain these reasons along with their legal basis.

What happens if you refuse to share Personal Data?

Most of the content available on our website can be accessed without providing us with any personal information. If we are to provide you with services you have purchased or requested, we will require some personal information from you in order to issue an agreement, as well as to authenticate you and prove your identity.

How we store your data

We will only store your Personal Information for as long as it is required for the reasons outlined in this Policy. We will keep and use your Personal Information only to the extent necessary to maintain our legal responsibilities (for example, if we are obliged to keep your data to comply with local laws), settle disputes, and enforce our agreements and policies. Your Usage Data will be stored by us for internal analytics reasons, as described in this Policy.

Personal Data transferring

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transported to systems located outside of your state, region, country, or any other administrative domain where the data privacy laws may be different from your jurisdiction.

We take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure the secure collection, storage, and processing of your Personal Information in accordance with this Policy. We will not transfer your data to other parties or locations unless they provide sufficient tools and controls for the protection of the data you provide to us and any other personal information.

Please keep in mind that the US has not requested or obtained a determination of "adequacy" from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR. For this reason, we rely on stipulations of Article 49 of the GDPR provided for particular circumstances. For instance, we will collect and transfer Personal Data to the US only for the purposes of maintaining an agreement with you and under your explicit consent.

SiliconMint, as well as our Service Providers, avoid collecting or keeping sensitive information about you and make sure not to put your personal rights and freedoms in danger by any means.

Security of transmitted data

Although we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee 100% security of any data you share with us since data transfer over the internet implies imminent risks that fall out of our area of control.

Therefore, by agreeing with this policy, you confirm you are aware of these risks and will not hold us responsible for data transfer security breaches. After we receive your information, we put maximum effort to ensure its security when stored on our servers.

Personal Information that you transmit while using our Website is protected by applying physical, technical, and administrative measures. We update and test our hardware and software on a regular basis to ensure it contains all relevant security upgrades. Only our authorized personnel responsible for processing your information to provide you with services and benefits are allowed access to it.

Furthermore, we educate our personnel on the importance of confidentiality and enforce the necessary disciplinary measures to make sure they maintain complete privacy of your Personal Data. They are also well-versed in security technologies that we use for data protection.

Accessing, altering, transferring, and deleting your Personal Data

In certain situations, you have the right to:
  • Access and obtain a copy of the Personal Data stored about you
  • Request correction for any inaccurate Personal Data stored about you
  • Request us to delete the Personal Data stored about you
  • Prohibit us from sharing your Personal Data with Service Providers
In accordance with the law, we provide portability for your data. You may ask us to send a copy of your Personal Data in a generally used format so that you can manage and transport it.

You may also inquire about how your personal data is used, the types of personal data stored about you, and whether your data has been transferred to anyone outside of SiliconMint. You can ask where we obtained the information in the case when it wasn't provided to us directly by you. You also have the right to know how long your Personal Data will be stored.

Please keep in mind that we may require you to confirm your identity before we reply to your requests to amend, delete, or restrict the usage of your Personal Data. If we are unable to offer access within a sensible time frame, we will advise you of a date when the information will be made available. We will provide an explanation if access is restricted for any reason.

If you wish to know what Personal Information we store about you or would like it to be removed, please contact us using the methods provided in this Privacy Policy. If you have any concerns about how we process your personal data, we ask that you contact us to resolve the issue.

Who has access to your Personal Information?

Being your Data Controller, we may acquire, store, process, and analyze your Personal Data in the manner and within the constraints set out above.

We do not disclose your information to third parties for personal use unless you authorize it. However, we may share it under special circumstances, including cases when:
