BlackTerminal Privacy Policy

Black Terminal LLC provides an online and mobile service accessible through the blackterminal.com website (the "Site") and the BlackTerminal App (the "App"). The service is operated by Black Terminal LLC ("Company", "we"). This Privacy Policy sets forth our policies regarding information we receive from visitors to the Site and users of the Application and/or the Service. Under applicable law, Black Terminal LLC is the "operator of personal data" obtained through the Services.

What information we collect

We collect your information when you knowingly provide it, such as when you register to access the Service. The information we collect may include, but is not limited to, your user name, email address, and any messages, images, temporary VOIP data (for messaging purposes only), or other content that you submit to the Service yourself.

Other information we collect

Data we collect automatically. When you interact with us through the Service, we receive and store certain information, such as your IP address, device ID and activity on the Service. We may store such information, or such information may be included in databases owned and operated by affiliates, agents or service providers. The Services may use such information in conjunction with other data, such as to track the number of visitors to the Site, the number of messages sent by users, and the sites through which users are directed to BlackTerminal.

Aggregated Information. In order to continually improve the Service, we may conduct research to analyze user demographics, interests and behaviors based on the information we collect. Such research uses aggregated information, and we may share such aggregated data with our affiliates, agents and business partners. We may also disclose aggregate statistics by describing our services to current and prospective business associates and third parties for other lawful purposes.

Information collected through other Services. You may give us permission to collect information through other services. For example, by logging into BlackTerminal through social networking sites such as Facebook or VK, which allow us to obtain information about those networks' accounts (such as a list of friends or contacts).

Cookies. We use cookies and similar technologies to track your computer preferences, such as which accounts you have logged into or your notification settings. Cookies are small pieces of data that websites and services place on your browser or device to read when you visit them again. We may extend the use of cookies to store additional data as new features are added to the Services.

On our website, we may use third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, which use cookies to collect certain information about how you use our Service. However, you can disable cookies in your browser settings. For more information on how to disable cookies, please visit your browser's developer's website through the help screen.

Advertising. You may see advertisements for our Service in other applications or on the website. By clicking on one of these ads and installing our Service, you will become a user of our Service. Advertising platforms, which include VK and Facebook and Instagram, can collect information to optimize advertising campaigns in addition to our Service.

If you do not want to receive personalized advertising delivered by third parties not affiliated with the BlackTerminal Service, you can opt-out through unsubscribe programs administered by third parties, including the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). Our Services do not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals and act as described in this Privacy Policy, whether or not a DNT signal is received, as there are no industry-wide standards.

Where the information is processed

The company is located in Russia. Regardless of your location, you consent to the transfer of your data to Russia and other countries and to its processing in Russia and in other countries.

How we use the information we receive from you

We use the information we receive from you in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide information for a specific reason, we may use that information in connection with the reason it was provided. For example, if you contact us by email, we will use the information you provide to answer your question or solve your problem. Also, if you submit information to gain access to the Service, we will use that information to give you access to such service and to monitor your activity. The Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates ("Related Companies") may also use your information collected through the Service to help us improve the content and functionality of the Service to better understand our users and improve the Service. The Company and its affiliates may use this information to contact you in the future to let you know about features of the Service that we think may be of interest to you. If so, we will include instructions in each marketing message we send you about how to "unsubscribe" from such marketing messages. In addition, if at any time you would like to stop receiving marketing messages or would like to have your name removed from our mailing lists, please email us at support@blackterminal.com.

The legal basis for our processing of your personal data

The laws of some jurisdictions require companies to state the legal basis for using or disclosing your personal information. To the extent that these laws apply, our legal basis is as follows:
Fulfilling our contractual obligations to you. For the most part, we process your personal data in order to fulfill our contractual obligations to our users or to take steps to enter into a contract with users at their request. For example, on this basis, we process personal data in order to create your accounts and provide you with our Service.

Legitimate Interests. In many cases, we process personal data in order to pursue our legitimate interests, as long as these do not conflict with the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the persons concerned. The following cases belong to this:

Disclosure of your data by us

We are not in the business of selling your data. We believe that this information is essential to our relationship with you. However, there are certain instances in which we may share your data with certain third parties, as set forth below:
Business Transfers. As our business develops, we may sell or acquire businesses or assets. In the event of a sale, merger, reorganization, bankruptcy, dissolution or similar event, your information may become part of the transferred assets.
Consent. We may share your information with your consent.
Related Companies. We may also share your information with our Related Companies for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Developers. Developers using our API may access their end-user data, including messages and message metadata. Developers may only use such information to provide API functionality within their applications and/or services.
Agents, consultants and related third parties. Like many companies, we sometimes hire other companies or individuals to perform certain tasks related to our business. Examples of such tasks include messaging, database maintenance and payment processing.
Legal Requirements. We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or if we have reasonable grounds to believe that it is necessary to (i) comply with legal obligations, (ii) protect the rights or property of Company or Related Companies, (iii) ensure the personal safety of users of the Services or public safety, or (iv) protect against prosecution.
Aggregated and non-personally identifiable data. We may also share aggregated and non-personally identifiable data with our affiliates or others for business purposes.

Unrequested information

You may provide us with ideas for new products or modifications to existing products or other ideas (collectively, "Unsolicited Information"). Unsolicited Information is considered non-confidential and we may reproduce, use, disclose and distribute such Unsolicited Information to others without limitation or attribution.

Links to other sites

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Service. The Service may contain links to other websites not maintained or operated by us ("Third Party Sites"). The policies and procedures described herein do not apply to Third Party Sites. Links in the Services do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed the Third Party Sites. We encourage you to contact those sites directly and review their privacy policies.

Data retention time

In general, we keep data for as long as it may be necessary for the relevant purposes. When disposing of it, we may anonymize it, delete it, or take other measures. Data may be retained for an additional period of time in the form of backups and for business continuity purposes.

Security

We take all reasonable steps necessary to protect the information provided through the Service from loss, misuse and improper access, disclosure, alteration or deletion. However, no Internet connection or e-mail transmission is completely secure and error-free. In particular, e-mail transmissions from or to the Service may not be secure. You should therefore take particular care in deciding what data you send to us. Please take this into account when transmitting any data over the Internet.

Your rights with respect to the data

We believe that all users should be treated as equals regardless of their location, so we make the following options for controlling your data available to all users.

You can update some of the information on your profile. You can also unsubscribe from certain emails by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in those emails. You can unsubscribe from some data processing through cookies by following the instructions in the "Other Information" section above.

In addition to the functionality available on your profile page, where you can correct, update or delete certain personal information, you may also request other direct modifications from us. Send us an email at support@blackterminal.com with the words "request personal data" in the header or body of the email, as well as an explanation of what data rights you wish to exercise. Before we respond to your request, we may take steps to identify you for your protection.
