This privacy commitment (“Privacy Commitment”)
outlines [Optival LTD] (“Entity”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) methods of collecting and handling Personal Data (defined
below).
This Privacy Commitment pertains to all domains managed
and run by us (including auxiliary digital resources such as
microsites, advertisements, etc., collectively referred to as
“platform(s)”), which offer evaluations and overviews
of various third-party products and services, in addition to allowing
users to effortlessly navigate and link to the sites of our affiliated
third-party vendors offering such products and services (collectively,
“Affiliates” and “Affiliate Portals”) (together known as “Solutions”).
This Privacy Commitment
outlines the details and transparency concerning categories of
Personal Data obtained from visitors interacting with, navigating, or
otherwise utilizing our platform and Solutions, including digital
content found therein and additional digital resources we administer
(like ads, microsites, etc.) (collectively
“platforms”), covering methods of interaction,
reasons for collecting Personal Data and its intended use, third
parties we may disclose it to and the motives for doing so, along with
your legal rights and available preferences regarding your Personal
Data.
This Privacy Commitment is an essential component of our
Terms & Conditions
(“Terms”). Any capitalized phrases not otherwise
defined shall have the definitions found in our Terms.
You
understand that there is no legal requirement for you to provide us
with Personal Data. Yet, failing to do so may prevent us from offering
some aspects of our Solutions. For instance, we require your email
address to respond to direct inquiries, and additionally, specific
cookies are crucial for the proper operation of our platform, while
others aimed at enhancing Solutions or marketing may be opted out of.
All in line with this Privacy Commitment. Should you decline data that
is necessary for features within our Solution, you are free not to use
those features or to refrain from visiting our platforms.
You are
not under a statutory duty to share Personal Data, nor must you engage
with the Site at all. By navigating the Site or engaging with the
Solutions, you express agreement with this Privacy Commitment and our
outlined data practices. If this Privacy Commitment is not acceptable
to you, do not continue to access or otherwise engage with the Site or
Solutions.
Residents of the EU/UK:
This Privacy Commitment
also outlines mandatory information as per the General Data Protection
Regulation (“GDPR”) including lawful justification
for Personal Data handling,
Data Privacy Contact, your entitlements under the GDPR and how you can invoke those
rights.
We maintain the discretion to revise this Privacy Commitment periodically, as we deem necessary. The latest Privacy Commitment will consistently be available on the platform. The updated date will be indicated by the “Last Modified” section. If mandated by applicable data rules, and in case of substantial changes, we will notify you and acquire necessary consent. Any modifications to our practices regarding Personal Data will be applicable within 7 days following the publication of the revised Commitment. We suggest you revisit this document regularly to stay informed about our privacy approach.
We take your privacy and legal rights as a data subject seriously and have assigned Prighter Group along with its regional associates to act as our privacy liaison and your official contact across these areas:
a. European Economic Area (EEA)
b. Great Britain
Prighter provides a streamlined way for you to carry out privacy requests (e.g., to retrieve or remove personal details). If you'd like to communicate with us via our designated agent, Prighter, or utilize your rights as a data subject, visit the following link: Prighter | Compliance Gateway for Optival LTD
Here you'll find insight into the categories of Personal Data we
acquire, the reasons for which it's utilized, the legal reasoning for
processing (under GDPR), and the definitions for both “personal” and
“non-personal” data, as well as the technical treatment of each.
Types
of Data Captured and Definition of Personal Data
As stipulated
under applicable regulations, “Personal Data” generally includes
details that point to an identifiable individual or could reasonably
do so. Examples include online markers like IP addresses, cookie
identifiers, names, email addresses, etc. Also included are analytical
insights based on behavioral patterns, profiling, or other associated
data points.
We may also obtain “Non-Personal Data”, which refers
to data not linked to any specific human subject and cannot be
reasonably traced back, such as consolidated usage data from our
platform and Solutions, including user volume, navigation behaviors,
regional statistics, visit timestamps, and technical signals from
devices and browsers like operating system, device make, and browser
type. This is considered Non-Personal if kept in aggregate or unlinked
from any digital identifier.
When we integrate Personal with
Non-Personal Data, we treat the entire dataset as Personal Data.
Source
of Data
Depending on your actions on our platform and Solutions,
certain data types are acquired, as clarified below. Our methods of
data gathering include:
(i) automated systems and tracking methods (like cookies, tracking pixels, and tags – refer to the “Cookies and Related Tech” Section of this Commitment), either deployed by us or external entities like vendors, Affiliates, and advertising associates using third-party tools (also see table below and “Data Distribution – Types Of Third Parties Receiving Personal Data” Section of this Commitment). This also encompasses “tracking links” we embed within Affiliate assets on our platform, enabling both us and Affiliates to verify if a user (by a designated unique ID) moved from our platform to the Affiliate Portal (explained further in the below table);
(ii) user-submitted information, such as when you reach out to us directly; and
(iii) data from our Affiliates, primarily when you interact with them after being linked from our platforms).
Collected Data Types, Their Usage & Lawful Justification
The table below outlines the gathered Personal Data categories, how we
process it, the specific objectives, legal reasons, and types of
handling operations:
Online Tags When you visit our platform and
interact with our Solutions, we gather online tags, including IP
address, browser agent, and Cookie identifiers. We might also allocate
a distinct user ID (a randomized alphanumeric sequence) to each
visitor accessing our platform, or such identifier may be triggered
upon engaging with features that redirect you to our Affiliate Portals
through tracking URLs (described in the “Source of Data” section
above). (together referred to as “Online Tags”).
o Geolocation Information We may also process your estimated geographic data (e.g., at the country level) derived from your IP address.
o Hardware Details We gather data sent from your device like its make and version, the browser software used to access our platform, operating system details, etc.
o Interaction Metrics We track your behavior and interaction with our platform and Solutions. This can include the pages you browsed and specific content you engaged with (like clicked items), navigation paths, timestamps for visits and activities, session duration, and more. This usage data may be archived alongside Online Tags in system logs. (collectively “Interaction Metrics”)
o ***If the information types noted above – i.e., location, device details and usage data – are connected to online tags, they will be classified and handled as Personal Data, although we may also accumulate such data in bulk for statistical purposes, which is not treated as Personal Data.
These data groups are used for the following intentions: To maintain
platform functionality, ensure security, identify and prevent fraud,
debug, and resolve technical faults. For analytical insights,
marketing strategies, and promotional effectiveness. For instance, we
use this data to understand user behavior on our platform, and to
evaluate content and ad campaign performance. We also use it to
personalize and enhance Solutions (such as detecting your preferred
language) and to assess promotional outcomes, including retargeting
strategies tied to your platform visits. Your unique ID or other
Online Tags help us track user flow from our platform to our Affiliate
Portals. This supports operational tracking, business performance
reviews, transaction monitoring, and conversion attribution.
We
handle these data sets via our internal or external cookies and
tracking tools (refer to the Cookies and Related Technologies
Section). We use strictly essential cookies to process data based on
our business interests. We also employ additional cookies for
analytical and marketing reasons contingent on your given consent
through cookie settings. You may revoke your consent anytime using
cookie controls on our platform.
Affiliate Engagement Insights
As earlier noted, when you engage with an Affiliate’s offer via our
platform and land on their website, a tracking link will attribute a
unique ID to you. We log this interaction (i.e., that you clicked and
visited an Affiliate Portal) and in some arrangements, depending on
our agreement with the Affiliate, the Affiliate may share back your
engagement outcomes with their offer (e.g., account creation, product
purchase, transaction amount, etc.)
We utilize this data for our
business operations. As stated in our Terms, we are compensated by our
Affiliates for directing users to their sites or generating further
user actions. Thus, we analyze this data to assess earned advertising
fees and for auditing purposes.
We might also process this data
in aggregated form to improve our content and ad campaigns, and gain
insight into user satisfaction and affiliate effectiveness (e.g., if a
large number of users interact with a particular Affiliate, it may
reflect quality offers). This analysis is conducted based on our
legitimate interests.
Ad Campaign Response Data
When promoting our platform and Solutions, we rely on third-party
services and tools for campaign management. These tools collect
behavioral data such as user pathways, click timestamps, referring
URLs and campaigns, and post-click engagements with Affiliates.
We
gather and process this data to execute, monitor, and optimize ad
performance and manage our Solutions effectively.
These data sets
are used with your consent, given via the cookie preference manager.
Consent may be withdrawn any time through our platform’s cookie
settings.
Contact Info & User Inquiries
If you proactively reach out to us with questions about the platform,
require assistance, or have other inquiries, whether via email or
other communication channels, you may need to provide certain personal
info such as full name, email address, and any details you choose to
share. We also keep records of these communications. (collectively
“User Messages”).
We use User Messages data to reply to your
messages, provide requested support, or fulfill your information
requests. These communications may be reviewed or stored for service
improvement, internal references, or if deemed helpful for future
assistance or dispute resolution.
When you initiate contact, we
use User Messages data with your permission. For internal purposes,
including archiving, data is processed in line with our legitimate
interests.
Please be advised that the actual steps involved in
processing for each purpose and lawful basis described above may vary.
These typically involve automated activities such as gathering,
storage, usage, transmission, deletion, or disposal. Cross-border
transfers of Personal Data, as outlined in the “International
Transfers” section, are done using the same legal grounds listed
above.
Furthermore, certain Personal Data may be used to detect
and prevent prohibited or unlawful behavior, fraud, impersonation,
copyright breaches, and any other misuse of Solutions, to uphold our
Terms, ensure database security, and defend against legal threats.
This processing is justified by our legitimate interests.
We utilize cookies (and related technologies like pixels, tags, tracking beacons, etc.) when you visit our platform or use our Solutions. Cookie usage is standard across the web. These technologies involve storing small text fragments or code on your browser or device while viewing online content. They serve many roles, including supporting page navigation, collecting analytics, and enabling ad personalization. Learn more about our cookie practices at:www.allaboutcookies.org.
Also refer to our Cookie Preferences pop-up for specific cookies used
on our platform.
Cookie Management and Opt-Out Options
Aside
from essential or core-function cookies, you may modify your cookie
choices and opt-out of selective or all cookies at any time through
our platform’s cookie manager or browser settings. Disabling some
cookies may affect availability or performance of specific features
and tools.
We share Personal Data with third parties, including reliable partners and service entities aiding in delivery and enhancement of our Solutions:
• Affiliates – Unique ID, Online Tags – If you visit an Affiliate Portal, we will share your unique ID and may, if needed for fraud defense, share IP or similar details. Such data is shared strictly for operational and conversion tracking purposes.
• Authorized agents and third-party providers – All data, as required and appropriate to the service provided – We may provide Personal Data to vetted professionals (e.g., legal or advisory teams) and service vendors (like hosting services, CRM platforms, cybersecurity vendors, etc.) who act on our behalf. These vendors are barred from using the data for anything beyond the specified services. We restrict their access to the minimum information necessary and enforce strict security obligations in line with all relevant data regulations (although vendors may use anonymized, non-personal insights independently).
• Subsidiaries, affiliates, or any acquiring entity – All data – We may share data internally within our company structure or during business transitions (such as asset sales, mergers, takeovers). In such events, data obligations and rights under this Commitment are transferred to the new controlling entity.
• Ad Technology Vendors – Online Tags, Device, Geolocation and Interaction Metrics – When we work with ad providers (e.g., Google, social networks), those providers may independently gather Personal Data via their tracking tools, merge it with other user data from across the internet, and use it for targeted ads and performance analytics. These vendors operate under their own privacy rules.
• Public authorities or legal compliance – Upon official legal demand – We may be compelled to reveal data to meet legal duties (e.g., court mandates), protect against claims, or fulfill law enforcement requirements.
Due to our worldwide business model and service infrastructure (e.g., cloud computing), Personal Data may be stored or processed in countries different from where the user accessed the Solutions. We move data in accordance with international privacy laws, applying protective measures (e.g., legal contracts or certified frameworks like Standard Contractual Clauses) to safeguard the data during transit. If user permission is necessary under local law, using our platform implies your acceptance of such international data transfers as described herein.
As a general policy, we retain Personal Data only for the duration
necessary to fulfill the intended reasons for its collection, which
includes fulfilling legal, administrative, accounting, or compliance
requirements. We use the following considerations to determine how
long we keep the Personal Data we gather:
(i) nature of the
Personal Data and its intended use: we evaluate the retention need
based on the original collection purpose, the data's sensitivity, and
the potential risk in the event of unauthorized access or usage;
(ii)
applicable legal frameworks: the data retention period is also
influenced by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction, as some laws
require data retention for a fixed period. Additionally, we may keep
certain types of Personal Data when legally compelled to do so, for
example, via a court mandate;
(iii) disputes or legal actions:
certain Personal Data may be kept if deemed reasonably necessary for
defending our legal rights, managing ongoing legal threats or claims,
or to enforce our terms and policies. If a dispute arises, including
legal proceedings, we retain the related Personal Data until the
matter is resolved.
In line with these factors – we assess when
we no longer have a lawful or necessary reason to retain the data, and
accordingly, once the retention period ends, the Personal Data will be
erased or anonymized so that it can no longer be reasonably linked to
you.
Unless bound by applicable law, we are not obligated to
store your Personal Data for any specific time frame, and we reserve
the right to delete it at any time, without advance notice.
We enforce security protocols to minimize the risk of information loss, breaches, or improper access to Personal Data, in line with legal standards. Note that no security solution is completely impervious, and some risk always exists when handling digital Personal Data. Consequently, we cannot promise our Solutions or databases are immune from abuse, system failures, data interception, malware, or unauthorized usage. Part of information safety relies on your own device, network, and behavior, so please act accordingly to keep your data safe.
You are entitled to various choices, rights, and authority over your
Personal Data gathered or held by us. Depending on your legal
jurisdiction and relationship with us, these rights may include one or
more of the key rights outlined below and steps for invoking them.
