No liability for User Contents

5.6 By posting any User Contents, the User posting such User Contents accepts full legal and moral responsibility of any and all legal claims that are made by any third parties due to MATTERS and/or its Affiliates publishing and using such User Contents. Neither MATTERS nor any of its Affiliates own or endorse any User Contents that are posted on the Platform.

MATTERS disclaims all responsibility and liability for the User Contents posted to the maximum extent permissible by applicable laws and regulations.

5.7 Before posting of your User Contents, you may be provided with options to make known to other Users regarding your preferences of matters relating to your Intellectual Property Rights of your User Contents. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the availability of any such options, MATTERS and its Affiliates do not assume any liability for any Intellectual Property Rights infringements of your User Contents by any Users or otherwise third parties. MATTERS and/or its Affiliates shall have no duty to attribute authorship of User Content to you, and shall not be obligated to enforce any form of attribution by third parties.

This privacy policy (the Privacy Policy) was last updated on the date above and shall be updated from time to time. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective upon posting of the revised policy hereunder. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform all Users about how the Data Controller treats Personal Information and Non-personal Information. If any User does not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, then the Data Controller cannot provide the Services to such User, and such User should stop accessing the same.

1. DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms shall be as defined in the terms and conditions unless otherwise herein defined:

Data Controller mean Matters, Inc., the company responsible for the collection, holding, processing or use of Personal Information;

GDPR is as defined in clause 9.2 of this Privacy Policy;

Personal Information means information collected from the Users by the Data Controller or otherwise held by the Data Controller, relating to any personal information that can be used to identify such Users as individuals, including among others, names, contact details, email addresses, age, gender, passport or other identification document details, information or Third Party Coins ID or account details in third-party sites, including Facebook, WeChat, Weixin, Google, Weibo and Stripe, other registration, account, bank account information or profile information and any other such personal description provided during registration of the Account, and any information provided by or in relation to such Users pursuant to this Privacy Policy; and

Non-personal Information means any such Personal Information which the Data Controller takes and makes it non-personally identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals (aggregating one User’s information with another User’s information), or by removing characteristics (such as User’s name) that make the information personally identifiable to such User (hence de-personalizing the information).

2. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION BY THE DATA CONTROLLER

2.1 The Data Controller will request all its Users to voluntarily provide it with Personal Information for purposes set out in clause 4.2 of this Privacy Policy.

2.2 In addition, when Users use certain features of the Services, the Data Controller may receive, store and process different types of information about such Users’ location, including specific information (e.g. GPS-based functionality on mobile devices used to access the Services). If Users do not want their devices to provide the Data Controller with location-tracking information, they can disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on their devices.

3. ACCURACY AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION BY THE DATA CONTROLLER

3.1 The Data Controller will receive, store and process Personal Information that the Users make available when assessing or using the Services.

Requests for access and correction of Personal Information are to be addressed in writing and sent to <ask@matters.town>. A reasonable fee shall be charged to offset the Data Controller’s administrative and actual costs incurred in complying with the relevant data access requests. Where there are reasonable grounds for believing that any Personal Information is inaccurate, the Data Controller shall take practicable steps to ensure that the Personal Information shall not be used unless and until those grounds cease to be applicable to such Personal Information or the Personal Information shall be erased.

3.3 Where any Personal Information held by the Data Controller is no longer required for the purposes as stated under clause 4.2 of this Privacy Policy, the Data Controller shall take practicable steps to cease processing such Personal Information as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that the Data Controller may keep copies of such Personal Information as is reasonably required (i) for archival purposes; (ii) for use in relation to any actual or potential dispute; (iii) for compliance with applicable laws and regulations; (iv) for enforcing any agreement the Data Controller has with such User; and (v) for protecting the Data Controller’s and its employees’ rights, property or safety.
