3- Cookies and Related Technologies
Like many websites, we remember certain information through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that are saved by your browser when you access our Website or Service. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to recognize you when you’ve logged in to the Site and to tell us how and when you interact with our Site. We may also use cookies to ensure that our services do not get overloaded, i.e. we may monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Site. When you visit the Site, we request your permission to use cookies. When you sign up for an account, you agree to the use of cookies in your browser and HTML based emails. This helps us greatly in giving you the best experience possible.
3.1- Session Cookies
“Session cookies” remember certain information from your current visit, i.e. login information. This is done to allow you to move easily within the Deliverect platform. Without these session cookies, we wouldn’t be able to properly provide our Service to you. These session cookies have limited functionalities and expirations, and you will be required to re-enter your Deliverect login information after a certain period of time has elapsed to protect you against others accidentally accessing your account contents and related personal information. Other examples of our use of session cookies include to track the number of visits by a particular visitor to a page or a feature of the Service.
3.2- Performance and Remarketing Cookies
We use third-party vendors, like Facebook Ads and Google Ads, to help deliver ads for relevant Deliverect services when you visit certain pages on our Site. We may share a cryptographic hash of a common account identifier (such as an email address) with third-party to help us tailor ads and services offered to you. Most browsers allow you to choose whether to accept cookies. If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, please set your browser preferences to reject all cookies, before accessing the Site. Please note that by doing so, some features of the Site and the Service may become unavailable.

4- How is your information kept secure?
The security of your personal information is important to us.
Deliverect has implemented various measures to ensure that the information is adequately protected against unauthorised access, use, disclosure and destruction. You should bear in mind, however, that submission of information over the internet is never entirely secure. Thus, risk can never be eliminated, however, it can definitely be significantly mitigated and reduced.
Security measures adopted by Deliverect include:
Access to the information stored within Deliverect’s servers is restricted to a limited number of Deliverect employees;
We use industry best practices to keep any information collected and/or transmitted to the Supported Platforms secure. The website and Service are all secured by SSL protocol, which provides encryption to all data transmitted;
Deliverect’s servers are protected by a) firewalls establishing a barrier between our trusted, secure internal network and the Internet and b) IP restrictions, limiting access to whitelisted IPs;
Each Customer may only access information pertaining to its specific Supported Platforms and to the specific End Users interacting with such Supported Platforms;
Deliverect uses third-party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology to run the Services. These vendors all offer best-in-class security;
When payments to Deliverect are processed via credit card, Deliverect uses a third party vendor that is PCI_DSS compliant;
Deliverect reviews its information collection and processing practices periodically and will review and amend this Privacy Policy accordingly.
Deliverect uses third party vendors to prevent attacks on the Site or the Service and destruction or theft of its data. Such vendors also monitor potential attacks to allow Deliverect to inform its Customers in the event their Customer Content and/or Deliverect Data has been compromised.
5- Children
Because the nature of our Service does not appeal to children under the age of 13, Deliverect does not knowingly acquire, seek or receive requests to open accounts from children under 13. If we later learn that any user of our Service is under the age of 13, we will take appropriate steps to remove that user’s information from our account database and will restrict that individual from future access to the Service.
6- Your rights: Access, change, deletion, disclosure
You have the right to object to the processing and collection of your personal data, and to withdraw your consent at any time, except where otherwise determined by applicable law.
When you withdraw consent, you acknowledge and accept that this will (most likely) terminate your access to the use of our Service. To be certain, please request modification or deletion of your information at any time by sending an email to [email protected], with your first and last name and your company name and VAT number. Such a request will have to be sent from your gmail or facebook account used to create your account on the Service.
Please note that certain personal information may need to be retained by Deliverect for a period of time following cancellation of your account where this is necessary for our legitimate business purposes or required or authorized by applicable law.
You should be aware that Deliverect acts as a conduit between our Customers and the various Supported Platforms we support. In several instances, the content published via Deliverect will not be in Deliverect’s custody or control, and any content that has been shared by you through any Supported Platform via the Services may continue to be available to third parties and the public at large, as this content is now under the control of the operators of the Supported Platforms.

We will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that those requirements or obligations are in accordance with applicable law;
We reserve the right to disclose your information to any third party if we have reasonable information to believe that the disclosure is necessary for the purpose of an investigation and/or for the enforcement of any breaches of the Terms of Service (if applicable), to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security, technical issues or other irregularities or illegalities, protect the rights and interests as well as the property of Deliverect;
We reserve the right to disclose your information to parent companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with Deliverect;
We reserve the right to disclose your information if we are acquired by or merged with another entity (in which case we will require such entity to assume our obligations under this Privacy Policy or inform you that you are covered by a new privacy policy);
