Definitions and key terms

When does Dayward use end-user information from third parties?

Dayward will collect end-user data necessary to provide the Dayward Service to our customers.

End users may voluntarily provide us with information they have made available on social media websites. If you provide us with any such information, we may collect publicly available information from the social media websites you have indicated. You can control how much of your information social media websites make public by visiting these websites and changing your privacy settings.

When does Dayward use customer information from third parties?

We may receive some information from third parties when you contact us. For example, when you submit your email address to show interest in becoming a Dayward customer, we may receive information from a third party that provides automated fraud-detection services to Dayward. We also occasionally collect information that is made publicly available on social media websites. You can control how much of your information social media websites make public by adjusting your privacy settings.

Do we share the information we collect with third parties?

We may share the information we collect, both personal and non-personal, with trusted third parties who help us operate and improve the Service. We may also share it with our current and future affiliated companies and business partners, and if we are involved in a merger, asset sale, or other business reorganization, we may share or transfer your personal and non-personal information to our successors-in-interest.

We may engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions and provide services to us, such as hosting and maintaining our servers and the Service, database storage and management, email management, payment processing, customer service, and fulfilling orders for products and services you purchase through the Service. We may share your personal information, and possibly some non-personal information, with these third parties to enable them to perform these services for us and for you.

We may share portions of our log-file data, including IP addresses, for analytics purposes with third parties such as analytics providers and application developers. If your IP address is shared, it may be used to estimate general location and other technical details such as connection speed and the type of device used to visit the Service.

We may also disclose personal and non-personal information about you to government or law-enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including subpoenas), to protect our rights and interests or those of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity, or to otherwise comply with applicable court orders, laws, rules, and regulations.

Where and when is information collected from customers and end users?

Dayward will collect personal information that you submit to us. We may also receive personal information about you from third parties as described above.

How do we use your email address?

By submitting your email address on this Service, you agree to receive emails from us. You can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in every email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them, either directly or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial email. Email addresses submitted through account registration or order processing are used to send you information and updates relating to your account and order, and for the other purposes described in this Policy.

How long do we keep your information?

We keep your information only as long as we need it to provide Dayward to you and to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone we share your information with who carries out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information, and there is no need to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we will either remove it from our systems or de-personalize it so that we can no longer identify you.

How do we protect your information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server, and all supplied sensitive and payment information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and encrypted into our payment-gateway provider's database, accessible only by those authorized with special access rights who are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private payment information is not kept on file. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to Dayward, or guarantee that your information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

Could my information be transferred to other countries?

Dayward is incorporated in the United Arab Emirates. Information collected via our Service, through direct interactions with you, or from use of our support services may from time to time be transferred to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using the Service you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.

Is the information collected through the Dayward Service secure?

We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard your information, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain data security. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. People can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes, or fail to follow policies. While we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standard used to measure our compliance with that duty.

Can I update or correct my information?

The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information Dayward collects depend on your relationship with Dayward. Personnel may update or correct their information as detailed in our internal employment policies.

Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information. You can contact us in order to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you on our systems (subject to the following paragraph) by cancelling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes, and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain or that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such change. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and account information at all times.

You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove every record of the information you have provided to us. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that is difficult or impossible to locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal information stored in databases we actively use, and other readily searchable media, will be updated, corrected, changed, or deleted as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically practicable.

Personnel

If you are a Dayward worker or applicant, we collect information you voluntarily provide to us. We use the information collected for human-resources purposes in order to administer benefits to workers and screen applicants.

You may contact us in order to (1) update or correct your information, (2) change your communication preferences, or (3) receive a record of the information we hold relating to you. Such updates, corrections, changes, and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain or that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such change.

Sale of business

We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Dayward or any of its corporate affiliates, or that portion to which the Service relates, or in the event that we discontinue our business or file (or have filed against us) a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Affiliates

We may disclose information (including personal information) about you to our corporate affiliates. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “corporate affiliate” means any person or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Dayward, whether by ownership or otherwise. Any information relating to you that we provide to our corporate affiliates will be treated by them in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Governing law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in connection with any action or dispute arising between the parties under or in connection with this Privacy Policy.

The laws of the United Arab Emirates, excluding its conflict-of-law rules, shall govern this Privacy Policy and your use of the Service. Your use of the Service may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws.

By using Dayward or contacting us directly, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you should not engage with our website or use our Service. Continued use of the Service following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy that do not significantly affect the use or disclosure of your personal information will mean that you accept those changes.

Your consent

We've updated our Privacy Policy to provide you with complete transparency into what is set when you visit our Service and how it is used. By using our Service, registering an account, or making a purchase, you consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.

Links to other websites

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Service. The Service may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by Dayward. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed on such websites, and such websites are not investigated, monitored, or checked for accuracy or completeness by us. When you use a link to navigate from the Service to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website is subject to that website's own rules and policies.

Cookies

Dayward uses cookies to identify the areas of our Service that you have visited. A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser. We use cookies to enhance the performance and functionality of our Service, but they are non-essential to its use. Without these cookies, however, certain functionality may become unavailable, or you may be required to enter your login details each time you visit, as we would not be able to remember that you had logged in previously. Most web browsers can be set to disable the use of cookies, but if you disable cookies, you may not be able to access functionality on our Service correctly or at all. We never place personally identifiable information in cookies.

Blocking and disabling cookies and similar technologies

Wherever you are located, you may set your browser to block cookies and similar technologies, but this action may block our essential cookies and prevent our Service from functioning properly, and you may not be able to fully use all of its features. You may also lose some saved information (such as saved login details and site preferences) if you block cookies. Different browsers make different controls available; disabling a cookie or category of cookie does not delete the cookie from your browser, and you will need to do this yourself. Visit your browser's help menu for more information.

Tracking technologies

• Cookies. We use cookies to enhance the performance and functionality of our platform, but they are non-essential to its use. Without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable, or you would be required to enter your login details every time you visit.
• Local storage. Local storage (sometimes known as DOM storage) provides web apps with methods for storing client-side data. It supports persistent data storage, similar to cookies but with greatly enhanced capacity and no information stored in the HTTP request header.
• Sessions. We use sessions to identify the areas of our Service that you have visited. A session is a small piece of data stored on your device by your web browser.

Payment details

In respect of any credit-card or other payment-processing details you provide to us, we commit that this confidential information will be stored in the most secure manner possible.

Kids' privacy

We do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We may change our Service and policies, and we may need to make changes to this Privacy Policy so that they accurately reflect our Service and policies. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you (for example, through our Service) before we make changes to this Privacy Policy and give you an opportunity to review them before they take effect. If you continue to use the Service, you will be bound by the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not want to agree to this or any updated Privacy Policy, you can delete your account.

Third-party services

We may display, include, or make available third-party content (including data, information, applications, and other products or services) or provide links to third-party websites or services (“Third-Party Services”).

You acknowledge and agree that Dayward shall not be responsible for any Third-Party Services, including their accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality, or any other aspect. Dayward does not assume and shall not have any liability or responsibility to you or any other person or entity for any Third-Party Services.

Third-Party Services and links to them are provided solely as a convenience to you, and you access and use them entirely at your own risk and subject to those third parties' terms and conditions.

Information about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

We may collect and use information from you if you are from the European Economic Area (EEA). In this section we explain how and why this data is collected and how we keep it protected from being replicated or used improperly.

GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data-protection law that regulates how EU residents' data is protected by companies and enhances the control EU residents have over their personal data. It is relevant to any globally operating company, not just EU-based businesses. Your data is important regardless of where you are located, which is why we apply GDPR controls as a baseline standard across our operations worldwide.

The data-protection principles include requirements such as:

• Personal data must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way, and used only in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
• Personal data should be collected only to fulfil a specific purpose, and used only for that purpose. We will specify why we need personal data when we collect it.
• Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfil its purpose.
• People covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They may also request a copy of their data, and that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.

Individual data subject's rights — access, portability, and deletion

We are committed to helping you exercise your data-subject rights under the GDPR. Dayward processes and stores personal data with vetted, DPA-compliant vendors. You can access, update, retrieve, or delete your personal data at any time from within your account, or by contacting us. We retain your personal data only as long as needed to provide the Service and to meet our legal obligations; when you delete your account, we remove your personal data in accordance with this Policy and our Terms of Service.

California residents

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires us to disclose the categories of personal information we collect and how we use it, the categories of sources from which we collect it, and the third parties with whom we share it, which we have explained above.

We are also required to communicate information about rights California residents have under California law. You may exercise the following rights:

• Right to know and access. You may submit a verifiable request for information regarding the categories of personal information we collect, use, or share; the purposes for which they are collected or used; the categories of sources from which we collect personal information; and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
• Right to equal service. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your privacy rights.
• Right to delete. You may submit a verifiable request to close your account, and we will delete personal information about you that we have collected.
• Right to opt out of sale. You may request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data not sell it.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. We do not sell the personal information of our users. For more information about these rights, please contact us.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA requires us to disclose the categories of personal information we collect and how we use it, the categories of sources from which we collect it, and the third parties with whom we share it, which we have explained above. CalOPPA users have the same rights to know, access, delete, and opt out of sale described in the California Residents section above. If you make a request, we have one month to respond. We do not sell the personal information of our users.
