Such marketing messages may be sent to you in various modes including but not limited to electronic messages through your LoveChain account, electronic mail, direct mailers, short message service, telephone calls, facsimile and other mobile messaging services.

When does the LoveChain disclose your personal information and data? 

The LoveChain may from time to time and in compliance withy all applicable laws on data privacy, disclose your personal information to related LoveChain service entities or third party service providers and contractors who assist in our internal business and administrative operations.

Some examples of how the LoveChain may disclose your personal information and data are: 

• With the exception of the initial User Feed on the Platform that the LoveChain will use during the initial community building phase, when you submit a post or comment onto the Platform, visitors to and users of the Platform (if you elect for them to do so) will be able to see the content of your posts and comments, the username associated with your posts or comments, and the date and time you originally submitted the post or comment. Although some parts of the Platform may be private or quarantined, they may become public and you should take that into consideration before posting to onto the Platform. 

 

• When you send private messages or messages via the chat application, the recipients of those messages will be able to see the content of your message, your username, and the date and time the message was sent. 

 

• When other users view your profile, they will be able to see information about your activities on the Platform, such as your username, prior posts and comments. 

Please note that, even when you delete your account, the posts, comments and messages you submit through the Platform may still be viewable or available on our servers or on a blockchain. For more information, see “How do I protect and limit my personal information collected?”. 

The LoveChain does not sell, trade, or rent users personal identification information to others. The LoveChain may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with the LoveChain’s business partners, merchant partners, trusted affiliates and advertisers for the purposes outlined above. The LoveChain will only share, sell or give away users’ personal information in the following circumstances: 

• Except as it relates to products and services offered by our merchant partners, we may share information with our merchant partners who need access to such information to provide products and services to users of the Platform;  
• Except as it relates to advertisers and the LoveChain’s advertising partners, the LoveChain may share information with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work for the LoveChain; 
• If you participate in contests, sweepstakes, promotions, special offers, or other events or activities in connection with the LoveChain, we may share information with entities that partner with the LoveChain to provide these offerings; 
• The LoveChain may share information (and will attempt to provide you with prior notice, to the extent legally permissible) in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, including, but not limited to, meeting national security or law enforcement requirements; 
• The LoveChain may share information in response to an emergency if we believe it’s necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm to a person;

What should I be aware of when visiting the websites of third parties, partners or those of the LoveChain’s merchant partners? 

Users may find advertising or other content on the LoveChain Platform that link to the sites and services of our partners, merchant partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Platform. In addition, these sites or services, including their content and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service terms of use and policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link to our Platform, is subject to that website’s own terms and policies and you should read those terms and policies to satisfy yourself as to how your interaction with that website is being monitored, what information is being collected and how the information collected is being used. 

The LoveChain may partner with third-party advertisers, ad networks, and analytics providers to deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests and to better understand your use of the Platform and all that the Platform offers. These third parties may collect information sent by your computer, browser, or mobile device in response to a request for content, such as unique identifiers, your IP address, or other information about your computer or device. For example: 

Advertisers and Advertisement networks: Our advertising partners and advertising networks may use cookies and use related technologies to collect information when advertisements are delivered to you on our Platform, but the LoveChain does not link to or provide them with your actual LoveChain account details. This means that the LoveChain does not share your individual account browsing habits with advertisers. The LoveChain cannot see advertisers’ cookies and advertisers will not see LoveChain cookies. 

Analytics partners: The LoveChain uses analytics partners (such as Google Analytics or Mixpanel) to help analyse usage and traffic on our Platform. As an example, we may use analytics partners to analyse and measure, in the aggregate, the number of unique visitors to our Platform. 

For more information about how you may control the collection and/or use of information for advertising and analytics purposes, please see “How do I protect and limit my personal information collected?”

How do I protect and limit my personal information collected? 

As a LoveChain user, you have choices about how to protect and limit the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information and data. 

The LoveChain stores data until it is no longer necessary to provide the services of the LoveChain Platform to you or until your account is deleted – whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things such as the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, when you search for something on the LoveChain, you can access and delete that query from within your search history at any time, but the log of that search is deleted after six months.

Some ways in which you can protect and limit the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information and data includes: 

Account Settings The LoveChain may provide you with tools and preference settings that allow you to access, correct, delete, and modify information associated with your account.

When you delete your account, the LoveChain deletes things that you have posted, such as your photos and status updates, and you won’t be able to recover this information later. Information that others have shared about you isn’t part of your account and won’t be deleted. If you don’t want to delete your account but want to temporarily stop using the Products, you can deactivate your account instead.

 

In summary, when you choose to delete something you shared on the LoveChain, we remove it from the Platform. Some of this information is permanently deleted from our servers; however, some things can only be deleted when you permanently delete your account.  

To delete your account at any time, please visit the LoveChain settings page.  

Account Information You may delete your account information at any time by logging into your account and following the steps under “Settings”.
When you delete your account, your profile is no longer visible to other users and disassociated from content you posted under that account. Please note, however, that the posts, comments, and messages you submitted prior to deleting your account will still be visible to others, unless you delete such content. Your account information may be retained on our servers or on a blockchain after you delete your account. We may also retain certain information about you as required by law or for legitimate business purposes after you delete your account. 

Analytics In the Settings section, you can opt-in to allow the LoveChain to collect anonymised user data to improve our Platform and the services the LoveChain offers through the Platform. 

Some analytics providers we may partner with may provide specific opt-out mechanisms and we may provide, as needed and as available, additional tools and third-party services that allow you to better understand cookies and how you can opt- out. 

You may also generally opt-out of receiving personalised advertisements from certain third-party advertisers and advertisement networks. 

Promotional Communications You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from the LoveChain by following the instructions in those communications. If you opt out, the LoveChain may still send you non- promotional communications, such as information about your account or your use of our Platform. 

Mobile Notifications With your consent, the LoveChain may send promotional and non-promotional push notifications or alerts to your mobile device. You can deactivate these messages at any time by changing the notification settings on your mobile device. 

Where does the LoveChain store the personal information collected? 

Safeguarding the privacy of your information and data is important to the LoveChain, whether you interact with us personally, through the Platform, by phone, mail, over the internet or any other electronic medium.

To operate our global service, we need to store and distribute content and data in our data centres and systems around the world, including outside your country of residence. This infrastructure may be operated or controlled by the LoveChain or its affiliates. 

 

The LoveChain stores its documents and personal information collected from those sources on: 

 

• secure computer storage facilities; 

• on a blockchain;

• paper-based files and other records;

• servers located in jurisdictions such as Australia, Singapore, USA, South Korea and Japan that are managed by either us or third party service providers;

• a single cloud platform operated by third party providers located in jurisdictions such as that stores our emails and manages our email system. 

 

The LoveChain engages IT specialists located in Australia, India and South Korea to provide us with IT services. These IT specialists have remote access to our servers located in Australia, Singapore, USA, South Korea and Japan in which they can access your personal information. In these circumstances personal information or data may be transferred overseas. 

For more information on the transfer of your information and data from one country to another, please see “How does the LoveChain handle the transborder and international transfer of personal information and data?”. 

The LoveChain may need to maintain records for a significant period of time. However, when we consider information is no longer needed, we will remove any details that will identify you or we will securely destroy the records.

How does the LoveChain ensure your personal information is correct? 

The LoveChain takes all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information and data is accurate, complete and up to date.  To assist, please update the details in your profile and account on the Platform or contact the LoveChain if any of the details you have provided are incorrect or have changed. 

How does the LoveChain keep your personal information secure? 

The LoveChain is committed to keeping your personal information and data secure. The LoveChain takes reasonable steps to protect your personal information and data from misuse, loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. 

While the LoveChain uses all reasonable endeavours to ensure that you provide personal information and data in a secure environment, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as totally secure.  The LoveChain does not accept responsibility of information transmitted to us over the internet. 

The LoveChain Platform may contain links or plug-ins to other sites. The LoveChain is not responsible for the content of, the privacy practice or policies of, those sites. 

 

How can you access your personal information?

You have the right to access your personal information and data held by the LoveChain. The LoveChain provides you with the ability to access, rectify, port and delete your data. This can be done by accessing your account on the Platform and updating, rectifying or deleting your data. 

 

The LoveChain stores information and data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services through the LoveChain Platform or until your account is deleted – whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things such as the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs. 

You can also make a request for us to correct any inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date personal information.

In some regions, such as Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Canada, United States of America and the European Economic Area (“EEA”), you may have certain rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information. The LoveChain takes reasonable steps to ensure that the data we collect is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and up to date. You also can manage your profile and settings within our Platform. However, if you are not a user of our Platform and you want to contact us directly about accessing, correcting, updating, or deleting your personal information, or altering your data or marketing preferences, you can do so at any time by contacting the LoveChain as set out in the Contact us about privacy section of this Privacy Policy. The LoveChain will consider your request in accordance with applicable laws. 

You can object to processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing of your personal information, or request portability of your personal information. Again, you can exercise these rights by contacting the LoveChain as set out in the Contact us about privacy section of this Privacy Policy. You also can deactivate your profile and account and obtain a copy of your information through your settings. 

Similarly, if the LoveChain has collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing the LoveChain conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent. 

The LoveChain responds to all requests it receives from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. For security reasons, a written request may be required to access your information verifying your identity and specifying what information you require.

We may charge a small fee for the retrieval of your information. We are committed to granting you access to your personal information within a reasonable time frame if it is reasonable and practicable to do so. There may be some circumstances where we are not required to give you access to or correct your personal information.  There may also be legal reasons for not granting you access. In such circumstances, we will explain those reasons to you. 

How does the LoveChain respond to legal requests or prevent harm? 

The LoveChain accesses, preserves and shares your information with regulators, law enforcement or others: 

 

• In response to a legal request (e.g. a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good-faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of Australia or Singapore when we have a good-faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction and is consistent with internationally recognised standards.
• When we have a good-faith belief that it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud, unauthorised use of the Platform, breaches of our Terms of Use – General, Terms of Service – Image Content or any other of LoveChain’s terms or policies, or other harmful or illegal activity; to protect ourselves (including our rights, property, products or services, or Platform), you or others, including as part of investigations or regulatory enquiries; or to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. For example, if relevant, we provide information to and receive information from third-party partners about the reliability of your account to prevent fraud, abuse and other harmful activity on and off our Platform.

 

Information we receive about you (including financial transaction data related to purchases made through the Platform) can be accessed and preserved for an extended period when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation or investigations of possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm. The LoveChain also retains information from accounts disabled for term breaches for at least a year to prevent repeat abuse or other term breaches.

How does the LoveChain handle the transborder and international transfer of personal information and data? 

The LoveChain shares information globally, both internally within its related entities and businesses, and externally with our merchant partners and other partners and with those you connect and share with around the world in accordance with this Policy. In order to provide you with the services you sign up for by creating a LoveChain account or visiting the LoveChain website, your personal information will be transferred to and processed in Australia, Singapore (or any other country where we, our corporate affiliates, agents, and service providers operate). Your information may, for example, be transferred or transmitted to, or stored and processed in Australia, Singapore USA, South Korea and Japan or other countries outside of where you live for the purposes as described in this Privacy Policy. These data transfers are necessary to provide the services set forth in the LoveChain Terms of Use – General, and to globally operate and provide our Platform to you. The LoveChain utilises standard contract clauses as directed by the European Commission Directive 95/46/EC, rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decisions about certain countries, as applicable, and obtain your consent for these data transfers to Australia, Singapore and other countries.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information (European Economic Area) 

Data protection laws differ among jurisdictions, and Australia and Singapore and these other jurisdictions may not provide the same level of protection for personal information as your jurisdiction of residence. If you are from the European Economic Area (“EEA“) our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. The LoveChain collects and uses your information for a variety of business purposes that are in our legitimate interests, to allow to use the Platform or to comply with our legal obligations. The LoveChain transfers your personal information to countries outside of the EEA such as Australia or Singapore, the LoveChain will take appropriate steps to ensure your personal information is afforded the same level of protection as described in this Privacy Policy. 

Updates to the LoveChain’s Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy will be reviewed and updated by Hunt & Hunt from time to time.  Updated versions of this policy will be published on this website.

The updated Privacy Policy will apply whether or not specific notice of any change has been given. However, if the LoveChain makes a change to this Privacy Policy that, in our sole discretion, is material, the LoveChain will provide you with additional notice. The LoveChain encourages all users of the Platform to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access or use the Platform or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy. If you continue to use the Platform after Privacy Policy changes go into effect, you consent to the revised policy. 

How does the LoveChain deal with privacy complaints? 

Your privacy is important to the LoveChain and we will make every effort to resolve your concerns. To assist us in helping you, we ask you to follow a simple three-step process. 

1. Gather all supporting documents about the matter of complaint, think about the questions you want answered and decide on what you want us to do.
