<h1>PRIVACY POLICY</h1>
|
|
<p>Last updated 2024-11-11</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This Privacy Policy for Real Microsoft, LLC ("Real Microsoft", "we", "us", or "our"), describes how
|
|
and why we might access, collect, store, and/or use your personal information when you use the askLyphe software (the "Service").
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Reading this Privacy Policy will help you understand your privacy rights and choices. We are responsible
|
|
for making decisions about how your personal information is processed.
|
|
If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Service.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>
|
|
This summary provides key points from our Privacy Policy, but you can find out more details about
|
|
any of these topics by using the table of contents below to find the section you are looking for.
|
|
</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>What personal information do we process?</strong>
|
|
Usage of the Service in its current form requires the collection and processing of only the data
|
|
you explicitly provide (such as but not limited to your username and email address), as well as your
|
|
IP address which may be used for additional account safety. You may read more about this below.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>Do we process any sensitive personal information?</strong>
|
|
Some of the information may be considered "special" or "sensitive" in certain jurisdictions, for
|
|
example your racial or ethnic origins, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs. We do not collect or
|
|
process any information of this kind.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>Do we collect any information from third parties?</strong>
|
|
We do not collect any information from third parties.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>How do we process your information?</strong>
|
|
Your information is used to provide you our Service, as well as to verify account ownership.
|
|
We may use your provided information to communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and
|
|
to comply with law. We process your information only when we have a valid legal reason to do so.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>In what situations and with which parties do we share personal information?</strong>
|
|
Searches are sent to the third-party search-engines which you have enabled on your account or
|
|
per-search. Otherwise, your information will only be shared with a third party in the event that we
|
|
are legally required to do so in order to comply with law.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>How do we keep your information safe?</strong>
|
|
We take information security seriously, and to the best of our efforts follow industry-standard practices
|
|
and procedures to protect your information from both malicious third parties and malicious actors
|
|
within Real Microsoft. However, no electronic transmission or information storage technology can be
|
|
guaranteed to be 100% secure, and as such we cannot promise or guarantee that unauthorized parties
|
|
will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>What are your rights?</strong>
|
|
Depending on where you are located geographically, the applicable privacy law may mean you have
|
|
certain rights regarding your personal information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>How do you exercise your rights?</strong>
|
|
The easiest way to exercise your rights is to contact us at devnull@voremicrocomputers.com via email.
|
|
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

<h2 id="howprocess">2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We process your information in order to provide you with the Service, and to protect your private
|
|
information and security.
|
|
</p>
|
|

We may also use the email address associated with your account in order to notify you of important

|

</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="whatlegal">3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>This paragraph applies to you if you are located in the EU or UK.</strong>
|
|
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases
|
|
we rely on in order to process your information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases
|
|
to process your personal information:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Consent.</strong> We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent)
|
|
to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You have the right to withdraw your consent
|
|
at any time, and may do so by contacting us at devnull@voremicrocomputers.com</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Legal Obligations.</strong> We may process your information where we believe it is necessary
|
|
for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency,
|
|
exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which
|
|
we are involved.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Vital Interests.</strong> We may process your information where we believe it is necessary
|
|
to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving
|
|
potential threats to the safety of any person.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>This paragraph applies to you if you are located in Canada.</strong>
|
|
We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent)
|
|
to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission
|
|
can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time, and may do so by
|
|
contacting us at devnull@voremicrocomputers.com. In some exceptional cases, we may be legally
|
|
permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way.</li>
|
|
<li>For investigations and fraud detection and prevention.</li>
|
|
<li>For business transactions provided certain conditions are met.</li>
|
|
<li>If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process,
|
|
or settle an insurance claim.</li>
|
|
<li>For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin.</li>
|
|
<li>If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse.</li>
|
|
<li>If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or
|
|
accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach
|
|
of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province.</li>
|
|
<li>If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court
|
|
relating to the production of records.</li>
|
|
<li>If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession
|
|
and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="thirdparties">4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As one or more Third-Party search engine "backends" may be used for queries, these third-party
|
|
services will receive only the necessary information to provide you with their results. This
|
|
information should not consist of more than your search query.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Otherwise, we will only share your personal information with third parties in the event that we must do so to
|
|
comply with law. In the event of a business transfer, merger, or acquisition, your data may be
|
|
deleted from our databases unless consent for the transfer is given.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="international">5. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Our servers are located in the United States. If you are accessing our Service from outside the United States,
|
|
please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored by, and processed by us in our facilities.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, then
|
|
the countries in which your data is stored may not necessarily have data protection laws or other
|
|
similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all necessary measures
|
|
to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="howlong">6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in
|
|
this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax,
|
|
accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require us keeping your
|
|
personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either
|
|
delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal
|
|
information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information
|
|
and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="safety">7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We take information security seriously, and to the best of our efforts follow industry-standard practices
|
|
and procedures to protect your information from both malicious third parties and malicious actors
|
|
within Real Microsoft. However, no electronic transmission or information storage technology can be
|
|
guaranteed to be 100% secure, and as such we cannot promise or guarantee that unauthorized parties
|
|
will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information
|
|
to and from our Service is at your own risk. You should only access the Service within a secure environment.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="rights">8. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable
|
|
data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request, access, and obtain a copy of personal
|
|
information; (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your
|
|
personal information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated
|
|
decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing
|
|
of your personal information. You can make such a request by contacting us at devnull@voremicrocomputers.com
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information,
|
|
you also have the right to complain to your
|
|
<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm">Member State data protection authority</a>
|
|
or <a href="https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/data-protection-complaints/data-protection-complaints/">UK data protection authority</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the
|
|
<a href="https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html">Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>Withdrawing your consent:</strong>
|
|
If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied
|
|
consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
|
|
You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us via email at devnull@voremicrocomputers.com.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of processing before its withdrawal nor,
|
|
when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in
|
|
reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your
|
|
account, please contact us at devnull@voremicrocomputers.com.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information
|
|
from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud,
|
|
troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or comply with
|
|
applicable legal requirements.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="dnt">9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We currently do not respond to DNT signals, as we feel that there is nothing extra that we could do
|
|
to facilitate this request. We do not automatically monitor or collect any information from your
|
|
usage of the Service except that which is required or deemed necessary to provide you with the Service,
|
|
and any information that is required to be collected for normal functionality is not shared with
|
|
any third-parties except in the rare cases specified in <a href="#thirdparties">Section 4.</a>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="updates">10. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS POLICY?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, such as but not limited to the introduction of new features
|
|
to our Service.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
|
|
If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice
|
|
of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy
|
|
frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="contact">11. HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you have any questions or comments about this policy, you may email us at devnull@voremicrocomputers.com
|

</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="data">12. HOW CAN YOU REVIEW, UPDATE, OR DELETE THE DATA WE COLLECT FROM YOU?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You have the right to request access to the personal information we collect from you, details about
|
|
how we have processed it, correct inaccuracies, or delete your personal information. You may also
|
|
have the right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information. These rights
