The following website visitor's privacy (the "Privacy Policy") govern the use of www.negate.io or any of its subdomains ("Negate") by you, a non-subscribing website visitor to www.negate.io ("User") or a subscriber to any Negate's services (“Subscriber”). Negate is a web application for subscription-based services that are designed to protect a subscriber from unwanted bot visits to a subscriber desired website.

Purpose

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform users of Negate of the following:
  • The personal data we will collect;
  • Use of collected data;
  • Who has access to the data collected;
  • The rights of website visitors to prohibit use of their information; and
  • Negate's cookie policy.

This Privacy Policy applies in addition to the Terms and Conditions of Use of Negate's bot protection subscription packages offered through www.negate.io or any of its subdomains.

GDPR

For users in the European Union, Negate adheres to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"). For users in the United Kingdom, we adhere to the GDPR as enshrined in the Data Protection Act 2018. We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer as we do not fall within the categories of controllers and processors required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under Article 37 of the GDPR.

Consent

By using Negate users agree that they consent to the conditions set out in this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Service.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by transmitting a written communication (i.e., mail, email, fax, text message) via Negate.io or information provided therein as of the date of transmission.

Legal Basis for Processing

We collect and process personal data about users in the EU only when we have a legal basis for doing so under Article 6 of the GDPR. We rely on the following legal bases to collect and process the personal data of users in the EU:
  • Users have provided their consent to the processing of their data for one or more specific purposes; and
  • Processing of user personal data is necessary for us to take, at the request of a user, steps before entering a contract or for the performance of a contract to which a user is a party. If a user does not provide the personal data necessary to perform a contract, Negate.io will not be able to fulfill the services specified in any of its packages that are offered.

Personal Data We Collect

We only collect data that helps us achieve the purpose set out in this Privacy Policy. We will not collect any additional data beyond the data listed below without notifying you first.

Data Collected Automatically

When you visit and use Negate, we may automatically collect and store the following information:

  • IP address;
  • Location;
  • Hardware and software details;
  • Clicked links;
  • Content viewed; and
  • Timezone
Data Collected When Subscribing to Service

We may also collect the following data when you subscribe to one of the bot protection packages:

  • First and last name;
  • Email address;
  • Payment and billing information; and
  • Website URL to protect against illicit bot visits.

This data may be collected when subscribing to a package and completing the check out function, including when a user creates a trial account.

How We Use Personal Data

Data collected on Negate will only be used for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy or indicated on Terms and Conditions of Use or the subscription pages at www.negate.io. We will not use your data beyond what we disclose in this Privacy Policy.

The data we collect automatically is generally used for marketing, communications, display and statistics.

The data we collect when the user performs certain functions may be used to implement Negate's proprietary and copyright protected bot protection code that provides its customer with the ability to install and monitor uninvited and unauthorized visits identified by Negate's code as non-human (i.e., bots.).

Who We Share Personal Data With

We may disclose user data to any member of our organization who reasonably needs access to user data to achieve the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions of Use.

Third Parties

Negate may share user data with the following third parties:

  • Google
  • Social Media Sites; and
  • Third Party Vendors for Administering Services.

We may share the following user data with third parties:

  • Links clicked while visiting the website and information related to providing bot protection services.

Negate may share user data with third parties to provide the best service to clients of Negate in eliminating unwanted bot visits to their website, driving up advertising expenses, and slowing down web servers due to non-human interaction.

THIRD PARTIES WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS USER DATA BEYOND WHAT IS REASONABLY NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE GIVEN PURPOSE.

Other Disclosures

We will not sell or share your data with other third parties, except in the following cases:

  • If the law requires it or if required for any legal proceeding;
  • To prove or protect our legal rights; and
  • To buyers or potential buyers of this company in the event that we seek to sell the company.

If you follow hyperlinks from Negate to another website, please note that we are not responsible for and have no control over their privacy policies and practices.

How Long We Store Personal Data

User data will be stored until the purpose the data was collected for has been achieved. You will be notified if your data is kept for longer than this period.

How Long We Store Personal Data

In order to protect your security, we use the strongest available browser encryption and store all of our data on servers in secure facilities. All data is only accessible to our employees. Our employees are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and a breach of this agreement would result in the employee's termination.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be insecure at times and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

You have a right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. You can object to your personal data being used in this way or require a manual review of an automated decision by contacting our privacy officer.

We only use automated decision-making and profiling if the decision:
  • Is necessary to enter into or perform a contract between you and us;
  • Is authorized by EU or member state law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  • Is based on your explicit consent.

The decision(s) we make using automated decision-making via the script provided by Negate.io relate to whether visits to a customer's website are human or non-human (bots). In doing so, the decision(s) made are based on variables relating to the time, speed, and information communicated by a unique website visitor to a client's website where a unique code provided by Negate.io for subscribed users is installed. Clients of Negate will benefit from the code and the information collected to eliminate or reduce unwanted bot visits to their website.

Your Rights as a User

You, the User or Subscriber, have the following rights:
  • Right to be informed;
  • Right of access;
  • Right to rectification;
  • Right to erasure;
  • Right to restrict processing;
  • Right to data portability; and
  • Right to object.

Minors

We do not knowingly collect or use personal data from children under 16 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 16 years of age, the personal data will be deleted as soon as possible. If a child under 16 years of age has provided us with personal data their parent or guardian may contact our privacy officer.

Do Not Track Notice

Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that you can set in certain web browsers. We do not track the users of Negate over time and across third party websites and therefore do not respond to browser initiated DNT signals.
