This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics. Additionally, we may use third-party services such as Google Analytics that collect, monitor and analyze this type of information in order to increase the functionality of our Service. These third-party service providers have their own privacy policies that describe how they use such information. These third-party service providers have limited access to only your Personal Data necessary to perform the tasks they have been engaged to perform on our behalf and are contractually obligated to protect it and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

2. Service providers

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties have access to your personal information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

3. Respect for laws

We will disclose your personal data where required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement or to protect data as set forth in the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation. Residents of the European Union, the European Economic Area and Switzerland who visit the Site or use the Service have the following legal data protection rights under the relevant legal conditions: right to information, right to erasure, right to rectification, right of access of the data subject (Article 15 of the GDPR), right to deletion (Article 17 of the GDPR), right to rectification (Article 16 of the GDPR), right to restriction of processing (Article 18 of the GDPR), right to data portability (Article 20 of the GDPR), right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77 of the GDPR), right to withdraw consent (Article 7 (3) of the GDPR) as well as the right to object to particular data processing measures (Article 21 of the GDPR). These users have a right of access to their Personal Data and can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time.

4. Information security

PinnacleStrategies has adopted data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures that are reasonably designed and appropriate for the industry, as well as physical security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal data, username, password, transaction information and data stored in your user account. Our employees are not authorized to access user names and email addresses on a need-to-know basis. The security of personal data is important to us, but we remind users that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Although we strive to use effective measures and tools to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee 100% security and protection of such information.

5. International data transfers

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers and systems located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to such transfers. We will protect the confidentiality and security of the personal data we collect in accordance with this Privacy Policy regardless of where it is processed or stored.

6. Links to other sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. PinnacleStrategies has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party sites or services.

7. Children's Privacy

The Site is not intended for individuals under the age of eighteen (18). In general, and with certain exceptions, privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation, generally require that the collection of Personal Data from individuals under the age of sixteen (16) (“Children”) requires parental consent. In addition, if the European Union Member State has not provided a lower age limit (provided that such lower age is not less than 13 years), the General Data Protection Regulation requires parental consent. 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 discover that someone under the age of 16 has provided us with Personal Data, we will immediately delete that information from our servers.

8. Changes to your personal data

If we decide to use your personal data for purposes other than those set out in this Privacy Statement, we will provide you with an effective way to opt-out of the use of your personal data for these other purposes. From time to time, we may send you emails about new services, releases, and upcoming events (“Newsletters”). You may opt-out of receiving newsletters and other secondary PinnacleStrategies messages by selecting the “unsubscribe” function in each email we send. However, users of the Service will continue to receive essential Service-related emails.

9. Will my data be deleted?

We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy and to comply with our contractual and legal obligations. We may also retain your personal data for other purposes if or for as long as the law permits us to retain it for a particular purpose, including for the defence against legal claims.

10. Newsletter

Users can subscribe to our newsletter via the Site to receive information about the Service and new service offers. To receive our newsletter, users must provide a valid email address and will, in turn, receive a confirmation email so that the user can verify and authorize the use of the email address as a newsletter recipient. We will store the IP address and the date and time of each newsletter subscription to identify when an unauthorized third party's email address has subscribed to our newsletter. We will not collect any other data or pass this information on to third parties, except where required by law for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. You can cancel your newsletter subscription at any time. You will find further details in the subscription confirmation that we will send to your email address as well as in each newsletter.
