This Global Privacy Notice outlines the fundamental privacy practices applicable to all Simba Space entities and extends to all individuals regardless of their place of residence.

Data Covered by this Global Privacy Notice
This global privacy notice pertains to personally identifiable information (PII) when we act as the data controller.
PII refers to information that identifies or can be used to identify a specific individual, including any data associated with that person. Examples of PII include names, addresses, and payment details.
We act as a data controller when processing PII for our internal use. For instance, we assume the role of a data controller when you provide your PII to open an account.
This notice does not apply when you process PII for your own purposes. For instance, if you send emails containing PII for business-related reasons, you are considered the “controller.” In such cases, we function as the “processor” and handle PII solely in accordance with your instructions or as required by law.
Furthermore, this notice does not cover third-party applications offered through our services or linked to our website, such as Microsoft 365 and similar offerings. We advise reviewing the privacy notice of any third-party service or website before utilizing it.
Fundamental Privacy Rights
We acknowledge several core privacy rights:
– The right to know what PII we hold about you.
– The right to access, correct, or delete your PII.
– The right to transfer your PII (data portability).
– The right to set your marketing and advertising preferences.
We promptly review requests pertaining to privacy rights. If additional information is required to process your request, we will contact you via email or by the same method through which you made your request if we do not have your email address on file.
If we are unable to honor your request due to legal or other reasons, we will provide an explanation for the denial, inform you of your right to appeal, and specify your right to file a complaint (if available in your jurisdiction).

Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Tools
We employ three primary “identifiers” on our website and in our services: cookies, web beacons, and scripts.
Cookies are text files placed on your device when you visit our webpages or view messages from us. Some cookies are “session cookies” that expire at the end of your browsing session, while others are “persistent cookies” that enable us to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits and websites.
Web beacons are image files embedded in our web pages and emails.
Scripts are small snippets of code that power customer service tools, deliver video content, and provide interactive experiences. We also utilize scripts for measuring service usage.
We manage certain identifiers directly, while others are managed by third parties. For instance, we utilize Google Analytics to monitor site performance and visitor engagement.
We employ identifiers to provide customized services, measure website performance, deliver customer support, and offer personalized advertising. Examples of how we use identifiers include:
– Setting your service preferences.
– Managing your shopping cart.
– Preventing fraud.
– Delivering relevant advertisements.
– Analyzing website usage.
– Conducting research to improve our services.
Identifier Management
You can manage identifier settings by visiting the Manage Privacy Settings page through the link provided in this notice. Customers can also manage identifier settings for our website and services via their customer accounts. We utilize both optional and mandatory cookies and other identifiers. Optional identifiers are employed for support, website performance, and advertising, while mandatory identifiers are essential for account management, verification, service continuity, security, and other functions necessary for providing our website and services.
In addition to the Manage Privacy Settings options, many web browsers allow users to block cookies directly or through plugins and extensions. However, please note that certain cookies are indispensable for our website and services to function properly. Blocking all cookies in your browser may hinder your ability to use our services.
“Do Not Track” and other Preference Signals
Certain web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature. However, as there are no universally accepted standards for this feature, we do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
We also do not recognize any universal opt-out mechanism, including the Global Privacy Control, which is still under development.
Marketing and Advertising Preferences
You can manage your marketing and advertising preferences, including whether you wish to receive customized marketing and advertising:
– Through this notice by clicking on Manage Privacy Settings.
– If you are a customer, through your Account Settings.
Storage
We store PII on our own systems and with
trusted service providers, including Amazon Web Services.
International Transfers
To operate our business and provide services, we may transfer PII internationally. We comply with applicable laws regarding international transfers. Additionally, we participate in the EU-US and Switzerland-US Privacy Shield Programs administered by the US Department of Commerce. For more information on transfers from the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the UK, please refer to our European Data Protection Disclosures.
Length of Retention
We retain PII for our business needs and to comply with legal obligations. If we no longer require PII, we may delete or de-identify it to remove any association with a specific individual. Factors considered when determining the retention or de-identification of your PII include: (1) whether you still maintain an account, (2) legal retention requirements, and (3) the necessity of the PII for tax or other business purposes.
Security
We employ risk-based measures to safeguard PII, including appropriate security controls and employee training. We also ensure that our service providers, business partners, and advertisers implement suitable risk-based controls to protect PII.
No Collection of PII about Children
We do not knowingly collect PII from anyone under 18 without permission from their legal guardian. If you believe that we have collected information from a child without parental consent, please contact us at [email protected].
Legal Basis for Processing
We process PII upon your request, with your consent, to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, based on our legitimate interests, or other lawful bases. The specific basis for processing depends on the services used, the data being processed, the location of the processing, and your country of residence. If you have questions regarding the legal basis for processing your PII, please reach out to us at [email protected].
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
No Financial Incentives
We do not offer any financial incentives for providing PII to us.
