Pixelrights also engages third-party software service providers who, for example, provide data analysis services (but do not access personal data regarding you in providing these services). These software service providers may be located anywhere in the world. Where this is the case, we will take appropriate measures to protect your personal data regarding you in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may also provide our partners, such as travel service providers (including airlines and rail operators) with aggregated data about the users of the Pixelrights Services via an online platform on which Pixelrights operates, for example, auction performance metrics, bidding characteristics and behavioural data.

5. Where we store personal data

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure.

Although We will do our best to protect your personal data, We cannot guarantee the security of such data transmitted to Our Sites; any transmission is at your own risk. Once We have received personal data regarding you, We use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

All information you provide to Pixelrights is stored on secure cloud servers.

Any payment transactions carried out by us or Stripe our chosen third-party provider of payment processing services will be encrypted by industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring or receiving personal data, such as SSL technology.

The safety and security of your information also depend on you. Where We have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of the Pixelrights Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

The security of your personal data is a high priority. We take such steps as are reasonable to securely store personal data regarding you so that it is protected from unauthorised use or access, misuse, loss, modification or unauthorised disclosure.

This includes both physical and electronic security measures. Examples include the use of passwords, locked storage cabinets and secured storage rooms. Other features include:
  1. storing information on secured networks consistent with industry standards, which are only accessible by those employees who have special access rights to such systems;
  2. using industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring or receiving personal data, such as SSL technology;
  3. restrictions are placed on the electronic transfer of files; and
  4. our IT networks undergo necessary vulnerability testing to continually identify and remediate potential opportunities for unauthorised data access.
The safety and security of information about you also depend on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Pixelrights takes steps to destroy or de-identify personal data when the information is no longer required for any purpose for which it may be used or disclosed by Pixelrights and Pixelrights is no longer required by law to retain the information.

The data that We collect from you will be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA). It will also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. These staff may be engaged in the fulfilment of your request, order or reservation, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services.

By submitting personal data regarding you, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. Pixelrights will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that personal data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

6. Your rights

You have the right to ask us not to process personal data regarding you for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting personal data regarding you) if We intend to use such data for such purposes or if We intend to disclose personal data regarding you to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by contacting the Help Desk 

Our Sites may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates (including, but not limited too, websites on which the App or the Pixelrights Services are advertised). If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites and any services that may be accessible through them have their own privacy policies and that We do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies or for any personal data that may be collected through these websites or services, such as contact and location data. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites or use these services.

7. Access to information

The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to access personal data held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with that Act. To protect your privacy, we may take steps to verify your identity before taking any action in response to any request. Any access request may be subject to a fee of £10.00 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the personal data that We hold about you.
