4. YOUR RIGHTS OVER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Some consumers may have rights in relation to their personal information as conferred by local law. Below is a general description of the rights some consumers may hold. In the event you reside in such a jurisdiction and would like to exercise one of your rights, please contact us at [https://riiiver.com/en/contact/]. Please note that we may require additional information from you in order to honor your request.

•Right to access personal information: Users exercising this right may request access to the categories and specific pieces of their personal information we hold. When you ask to access your personal information, we will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request; however, we may not be able to allow you to access certain personal information in certain circumstances, for example, for legal, security or commercial proprietary reasons. Further, we may not be able to provide you with your personal information if collecting the information would prove burdensome (for example, it would be prohibitively costly to provide such personal information). In such cases, we will provide you with a reasonable explanation of why it is not possible to grant access to your personal data;

•Right to data portability: Users exercising this right may receive their personal information, when provided electronically, in a readily-useable format;

•Right to deletion: Users exercising this right can ask us to delete personal information of theirs from our servers. We may decline the request as permitted under applicable law;

•Sale or lease of personal information: As permitted by applicable law, we may sell your personal information, as that term is defined in this Policy;

•Right to be free from discrimination: Users may freely exercise these rights without fear of being denied goods or services. We may, however, provide a different level of service or charge a different rate reasonably relating to the value of your data; and

5. INFORMATION SECURITY

We implement reasonable technological, organizational and administrative security measures designed to safeguard the personal information we process through Riiiver. These measures are aimed at providing on-going integrity and confidentiality for your personal information. However, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

6. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements.

7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER

Your personal information may be transferred to, stored and/or processed outside your jurisdiction of residence and such jurisdiction’s data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. When we collect your personal information, it is collected on servers located in Japan. Your personal information may be transferred to servers located in the United States. We may also disclose your personal information to our affiliates located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan and other Asian countries.
When your personal information is transferred outside your jurisdiction of residence, it may be accessible to law enforcement and government agencies of that jurisdiction.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy when transferred, processed or stored outside of your jurisdiction of residence, including by using appropriate safeguards (such as contractual commitments). Where we have engaged international third parties to perform services in respect of any personal information collected from you, we will use contractual or other means to ensure such third parties offer a comparable level of protection in respect of the personal information. For more information on the appropriate safeguards in place, please contact us at the details below.

8. PRIVACY AND CHILDREN

We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. We do not knowingly collect information from people under the age of 13 without first obtaining the consent of their parent or guardian.
