9. INFORMATION FOR RESIDENTS OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland (the “European Countries”), you have certain rights and protections under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation) and The United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK-GDPR) regarding the processing of your “personal data” as defined under applicable law. Some of the information that iMonetizeit collects from you through its operation of the Site may constitute “personal data” under these laws.
Where we decide the purpose or means for which personal information we collect is processed, we are the “Controller.” As a Controller by the classification of GDPR and UK-GDPR, we have the appropriate technical and organizational measures in place ensuring that data processing is performed in accordance with GDPRs. Such measures will be reviewed and updated if necessary and in accordance with the specifics of the gathered data.
Notice that iMonetizeit will not be held responsible for the data collected by affiliates or advertisers who contract the services of iMonetizeit, being responsible for the processing of data.
As a Processor by the classifications of GDPRs, we cooperate with our partners (Data Controllers and other Data Processors) to make sure any kind of user data is handled under the agreed terms and in compliance with the pertinent regulations and laws.
What Data Protection Rights Do You Have
As available and except as limited under applicable law, the rights afforded to residents of European Countries are:
- Right of access – the right to be informed of, and request access to, the personal data we process about you;
- Right to rectification – the right to request that we amend or update your personal data where it is inaccurate or incomplete;
- Right to erasure – the right to request that we delete your personal data;
- Right to restrict – the right to request that we temporarily or permanently stop processing all or some of your personal data;
- Right to object – the right, at any time, to object to us processing your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation; the right to object to your personal data being processed for direct marketing purposes;
- Right to data portability – the right to request a copy of your personal data in electronic format and the right to transmit that personal data for use in another party’s service; and
- Right not to be subject to automated decision-making – the right to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated decision-making, including profiling, where the decision would have a legal effect on you or produce a similarly significant effect.
Exercising Your Rights
How to exercise your rights please read in the Section 12 “REQUEST FOR EXERCISE OF RIGHTS” below.
We will process your requests to us within 30 days. We will also notify a relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours from a breach related to your personal information that we hold.
We have assigned a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who may be reached via dpo@imonetizeit.com. Our DPO is tasked with ensuring that we acknowledge and abide by our data protection responsibilities.
Data retention
We keep personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the personal information was collected, for example during the period during which you are registered on our Site or Platform, to attend to any legal claims, for example, if we believe that you have violated our rights, or for as long as required by applicable law.
When the personal information that we have collected is no longer required, we will delete it securely. We may further process data for statistical purposes, but in such cases, data will be anonymized.
Transfer
In the course of business, we may transfer personal information to our related entities. We also may transmit your data to our (sub)contracted service providers, both in and out of the European Countries.
Where we transfer the personal information of users to our related entities or service providers in countries that have not been deemed to have an adequate level of protection under an adequacy decision of the EU Commission or The UK Adequacy Decision, we have put in place specific contracts containing the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses or standard data protection clauses to be issued by the Commissioner under S119A(1) Data Protection Act 2018, which is incorporated into DPAs concluded with our partners, who should be considered “data importers”, in order to ensure that your personal information is treated by all parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects laws on data protection, in particular the GDPR and UK-GDPR.
10. CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY RIGHTS
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) (as augmented and amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, or “CPRA” (California Civil Code Section 1798.100 et seq.)) gives California residents certain rights with respect to the processing of personal data. Under CCPA, “Personal Information” is defined as information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with California consumers or households. This supplement provides additional privacy disclosures and details additional rights and should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.
The California Code of Regulations defines a “resident” as:
(1) every individual who is in the State of California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose, and
(2) every individual who is domiciled in the State of California who is outside the State of California for a temporary or transitory purpose.
All other individuals are defined as “non-residents.”
For employee-related personal data-related requests, such as requests regarding job applications, benefits, and HR, please direct your requests to the iMonetizeit HR Department.
Please note that if you wish to exercise any of your rights with any of iMonetizeit’s clients, you must make your request directly to those iMonetizeit clients, based on information and procedures that they supply.
The categories of personal information the iMonetizeit collects as well as the Purposes and Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information are described in Section 2 “WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED” above.
What Data Protection Rights Do You Have

You have the right to request that iMonetizeit delete any personal information it has collected or maintains about you, subject to certain exceptions for business purposes outlined in the applicable law.

Sensitive Personal Data Processing
The CPRA requires data controllers to obtain a consumer’s consent before processing their sensitive personal data. Please note that iMonetizeit does not generally collect sensitive personal data from California residents who visit our Site and will not process such data if it is inadvertently collected. Therefore, we will not request consent for processing of such sensitive personal data collected from the Site.
Exercising Your Rights
How to exercise your rights please read in Section 12 “REQUEST FOR EXERCISE OF RIGHTS” below.
11. VIRGINIA, COLORADO AND CONNECTICUT CONSUMER PRIVACY RIGHTS
If you are a resident of the State of Virginia, Colorado, or Connecticut subject to certain exceptions, you have certain data protection rights as defined by the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”) or The Connecticut Data Privacy Act (“CTDPA”) respectively. iMonetizeit aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your personal information.
Upon the request you may realize your following rights:
- To confirm whether or not iMonetizeit is processing your personal data and to access such personal data;

Sensitive Personal Data Processing
The VCDPA and CTDPA require data controllers to obtain a consumer’s consent before processing their sensitive personal data. Please note that iMonetizeit does not generally collect sensitive personal data from Virginia or Connecticut consumers who visit our website and will not process such data if it is inadvertently collected. Therefore, we will not request consent for processing of such sensitive personal data collected from the Site.

In addition to the general procedure, Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut consumers have the right to appeal the decision if iMonetizeit declines to take action regarding the consumer’s request.

IMONETIZEIT LIMITED
1202 Emperor Group Centre,
288 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person whose information we have in our system. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with the information you have previously provided us. For instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain information so that we can match the information you provide with the information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a communication method that you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.
NOTE: We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
REQUESTS MADE THROUGH AGENTS – You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof you have authorized it to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.
HOUSEHOLD REQUESTS – We currently do not collect household data. If all the members of a household make a Right to Know or Right to Delete request, we will respond as if the requests are individual requests.
WARNING! Please exercise your rights wisely and note that abuse of rights may entail your liability.
13. SECURITY
We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process which include:
- using secure shell protocol (SSH);
- multi-factor authentication;
- access control (physical and technical);
- link encryption.
The protection of your personal data is important to us. We maintain appropriate safeguards and current security standards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse, such as using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for all supplied sensitive/credit information. However, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. While we take meaningful steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information will always remain secure. We do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure.
However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our Site or Platform is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.
We are not responsible for the safety of any information that you share with third-party providers who advertise but are not affiliated with our Site.
14. AGE OF CONSENT AND CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from individuals under the age of consent (18 years of age). If you have reason to believe that anyone under the age of consent has provided us with personal information, you may contact us immediately. If we become aware that we have collected any personal information from individuals under the age of consent we will promptly take steps to remove and permanently delete such information.
iMonetizeit adheres to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. We do not create nor use any behavioral advertising segments of children under 18 as part of our Services. Our Site is not directed at children under the age of 18. If we are made aware that we have received personally identifiable information from someone under 18, we will use reasonable efforts to remove that information from our records.
15. ACCEPTANCE OF THE PRIVACY POLICY
By visiting or registering to become an affiliate, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We may at any time revise or amend any of these terms and conditions with or without notice to you depending on the type of changes. You are bound by any such revisions and should therefore periodically visit this page to review the then-current terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy to which you are bound. To the extent that any of the third-party sites accessible through our Site (such as our advertisers) have different privacy practices from those stated in this Privacy Policy, those third-party privacy practices govern the collection and use of information you provide when visiting those sites. We are not responsible for the policies, content, and practices of other companies that may collect personal information as a third-party web service provider that has an advertising banner or link on the Site.
16. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time based on changes to applicable laws and regulations or other requirements applicable to us, changes in technology, or changes to our business. Any changes we make to the Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this page, and where we change this Privacy Policy in ways that also affect how we process personal information about you, where appropriate, we will notify you via email or other contact with you, and we also may post a notice on our home page that this Privacy Policy has changed.
