This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes the collection, protection, and use of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") that may be provided in the "Exocus" software, the Exocus official website https://byland.work/exocus, and other related websites and services (collectively, the "Services"). It also outlines your choices regarding the use of your Personal Information and how you can access and update this information. This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "You," or "Your") and the operator of Exocus ("Operator," "We," or "Us"). By accessing and using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Policy. This Policy does not apply to practices of companies we do not own or control, or to individuals we do not employ or manage.

Automatic Information Collection

When you open the website or use the application, our servers automatically record information sent by your software, browser, or device. This data may include the IP address and location of your device, browser and device name and version, operating system type and version, language preferences, web pages visited before coming to the Service, pages you visit on the Service, time spent on these pages, information you search for on the Service, access time and date, and other statistics.

The automatically collected information is used only to identify potential abuse and to compile statistical information about the use and traffic of the service. This statistical information will not be aggregated in a way that identifies any specific user of the system.

Collection of Personal Information

You can access and use the Services without telling us who you are or revealing any information that can identify you as a specific, identifiable person. However, if you wish to use certain features of the Services, you may be required to provide certain personal information (for example, if you register in the form of an email, you need to provide your email address). We receive and store any information you intentionally provide to us when creating an account or filling out any online forms on the Service. This information may include but is not limited to:

Personal details such as nickname
Contact information such as email address
Account details such as username, password, etc.
Features on the device, such as reading, storing files, etc.

Some of the information we collect is provided directly to you through the service. However, we may also collect personal information about you from other sources, such as public databases and our joint marketing partners. You may choose not to provide us with your personal information, but doing so may prevent you from using certain features of the service. If you are unsure about which information is mandatory, feel free to contact us.

Use and Processing of Collected Information

In order to provide services to you or to fulfill legal obligations, we may need to collect and use certain personal information. If you do not provide the information we request, we may not be able to provide you with the requested product or service. Any information we collect from you may be used for the following purposes:

Create and manage user accounts
Improve user experience
Operate and provide services

The processing of your personal information depends on how you interact with the service, the legal requirements corresponding to your geographical location, and whether any of the following conditions apply:

You have given consent for one or more specific purposes
Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party
Processing is required to comply with a legal obligation to which you are subject
Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party
Other circumstances as provided by law and regulations

Please note that under some laws, we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing (by opting out), without relying on consent or any other legal basis mentioned above. In any case, we are happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, especially whether the provision of personal information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Management of Information

You have the right to request the deletion of specific personal information we hold about you, unless we need to comply with legal or regulatory retention periods. You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, and if temporarily unfeasible due to technical difficulties, adequate security protection should be provided before deletion.

Disclosure of Information

Depending on the specific service or the necessary circumstances to complete any transaction or provide any service you request, we may share your information with trusted third parties, any other affiliated companies, and subsidiaries we rely on, with your consent. We will not share personal information with unrelated third parties. These service providers are not allowed to use or disclose your information unless it is on our behalf or complies with legal requirements. We only share your personal information with third parties who agree to comply with our privacy policies regarding personal information. The personal information obtained by these third parties is only for the purpose of performing their specified functions, and we have not authorized them to use or disclose personal information for their own marketing or other purposes.

In cases where required or permitted by law, we will disclose any personal information we collect, use, or receive, such as complying with subpoenas or similar legal processes, and when we sincerely believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your or others' safety, investigate fraud, or respond to government requests.

Retention of Information

We will retain and use your personal information for the time required to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. After you update or delete your personal information, we may use any aggregate data derived from or containing your personal information, but we will not use it in a way that identifies you personally. Once the retention period expires, personal information should be deleted. Therefore, the right of access, deletion, correction, and data portability cannot be enforced after the retention period.

Right to Object to Processing

If the processing of personal information is for the public interest, the exercise of the official authority given to us, or for the legitimate interests we pursue, you may object to such processing by providing reasons specific to your situation.

We implement reasonable managerial, technical, and physical protection measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of personal information under our control and custody.

In the event of a data breach, if we believe there is a reasonable risk of harm to users or legal requirements necessitate notification, we will make reasonable efforts to notify the affected individuals. When we do so, we will post a notice on the service.
