For purposes included but not limited to developing, manufacturing, and/or marketing goods or the Mecha Platform, Mecha may use the content of any interactions or communications submitted by you on Mecha Platform, including any concepts, inventions, ideas, techniques, or know-how disclosed therein.
Mecha will keep your name confidential and will not publicize or advertise the fact that you submitted materials or other information to us unless:
Mecha uses your data under several legal bases, including for performing our contract with you, for Mecha’s legitimate business interests, for complying with our legal obligations, or otherwise we use it with your consent.
The collected and stored data may be used:
If you are located in the European Countries (as defined above in Section 1), our legal basis for collecting and using the data described above depends on what the data is and the context in which we collect it.
However, we will normally collect data from you only where we need it to perform our contract with you (i.e., our Terms of Service), where the processing is in our legitimate interests (provided that these aren’t overridden by your interests or rights), or if we otherwise have your consent.
In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation or need to collect data from you or may otherwise need the personal data to protect your vital interests or those of another person (for example, another user).
If we ask you to provide data to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, this will be clear from the context in which we are asking you to provide your data (for example, when we ask you to provide a username to access our Platform, this will be to create an account for you in accordance with our Terms of Service), and, if not, we will provide an explanation to you at the relevant time. We will also make clear whether providing data is mandatory.
Similarly, if we collect and use your data in connection with our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), it will be made clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are (such as personalizing our services and marketing, etc.).
If you are located in the European Countries (defined above in Section 1), you have the following data protection rights:
To exercise your rights to access or deletion, please submit a request to us at undefined. If you have any other problems or would like to exercise any of your other rights, you can contact us at undefined. We respond to all data protection requests we receive in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
To review and update personal data associated with your Mecha user profile. Visit the ‘Account Settings’ page in the Console.
If you want to review or delete personal data associated with your account data, please submit a request to us at undefined.
For deletion requests, we will take reasonable measures to delete your personal data from our records. If you have sent content through or posted content on the Platform, we may not be able to delete it. We will keep certain records (e.g., personal data relating to payments or customer service matters) where we need (and have rights) to, such as for legal or accounting purposes. We will also keep data in order to exercise, defend, or establish our rights.
If you want to stop receiving promotional e-mails from Mecha, click on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any promotional email from Mecha or visit our Email Settings page. Your unsubscribe request or e-mail preferences change will be processed promptly, and in no event longer than ten business days. During that processing period, you may receive additional promotional emails from us.
Please note that if you opt out of receiving promotional communications from us, we may still communicate with you from time to time if we need to provide you with data about the Platform you are using from us, if we need to request data from you with respect to a transaction initiated by you, or for other legitimate non-marketing reasons, for example, if we update this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service.
Most of our Platform are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or under 16 for children located in the European Countries) (collectively, “Children”). Children are not permitted to use these Platform, and we do not knowingly collect any personal data from Children.
Though our Platform do not target Children as the primary audience, we may collect age data before allowing a user to proceed for certain Platform. For users who identify themselves as Children in our age-gate on such Platform, if we allow Children to use the Platform, we will either provide a version of that Service that does not collect, use, or disclose “personal data” (as defined in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”)), except as permitted by COPPA, or obtain legally valid parental consent.
If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal data that is not subject to a COPPA exception from a Child, we will take reasonable measures to promptly remove that data from our records.
IMPORTANT: When you use our Platform, your personal data may be sent to the United States and possibly other countries.
As part of our international operations, we may transfer personal data to our “Affiliated Entities,” which are any other corporate entities under common ownership with Mecha, or to our business partners and service providers from time to time for our legitimate business purposes. For example, Mecha provides certain services to its Affiliated Entities.
We store personal data about you and visitors to our sites on servers located in the United States, and we may also store this data on servers and equipment in other countries. Personal data collected in the European Countries may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the European Countries. The data we hold may also be processed by employees operating outside of the European Countries who work for us, one of our Affiliated Entities, or one of our business partners or service providers. This staff may be engaged in, among other things, (i) the processing of transactions and your payment details, or (ii) the provision of support services.
When we transfer your personal data internationally we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is treated securely, lawfully, and in the manner, we describe here. Please note that laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so the privacy laws applicable to the places where your data is transferred to or stored, used, or processed in, may be different from the privacy laws applicable to the place where you are resident.
How long we retain your personal data depends on why we collected it and how we use it, but we will not retain your personal data for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements.
We will retain personal data about you and connected with your account and/or the Platform you use from us for as long as you have an active account with us. We will take reasonable measures to delete this personal data if you delete your account. However, you acknowledge that we may retain some data after you have closed, or we have deleted, your account with us where necessary to enable us to meet our legal obligations or to exercise, defend, or establish our rights.
We implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to help protect the security of your data both online and offline and to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These measures vary based upon the sensitivity of your data.
If you have an account registered directly with Mecha, your profile data is protected by the password you use to access your Mecha account. It is important that you protect and maintain your Mecha account’s security and that you immediately tell us of any unauthorized use of your account. If you forget the password to your Mecha account, the Platform allow you to request that instructions be sent to you that explain how to reset your password. If you access our Platform through a social network and your social network account is hacked or otherwise compromised, this may lead to someone accessing or deleting your Mecha accounts without your permission. So, be careful to keep your social network account data, including your social network account password, secure as well. We urge you to log out of your Mecha account and any social network account you have used to access our Platform when you are finished using them.
When you sign into your Mecha account or enter payment data, we and our third-party payment processor use encryption to transmit that data.
While we take precautions against possible security breaches of our Platform and our customer databases and records, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur, and we cannot guarantee the security of your data while it is being transmitted to our Service. Any transmission is at your own risk.
If you have questions about data protection, or if you have any requests for resolving issues with your personal data, we request you to contact us so that we can reply to you more swiftly and efficiently.
