2. Information We Collect
At PEDES Studios, we believe in the importance of clarity when it comes to the data we collect. Our collection of data is aimed at ensuring we can provide the best possible services and experiences to our users. We categorize the information we collect into two broad categories: personal and non-personal information.
Personal Information
Personal information refers to any information that can identify you directly or in combination with other data. We collect this data when you interact with our services, such as signing up for an account, subscribing to a newsletter, making purchases, or engaging with other services provided by PEDES Studios. The types of personal information we collect include, but are not limited to:
• Identification details: This includes your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and other identifiers that allow us to contact you or provide our services to you.
• Account information: When you create an account with any of our services, we collect username and password details. We also gather your account preferences, such as privacy settings, language preferences, and other customizable features.
• Payment data: For services that require payment, we collect payment information such as credit card details, billing address, and transaction history.
• Demographic details: We collect data related to your age, gender, location, and preferences, which helps us tailor our content and services to your needs.
Non-Personal Information
In addition to personal information, we also collect non-personal information to analyze trends, enhance user experience, and improve our services. Non-personal information does not identify you individually and typically includes:
• Device and technical information: This includes the type of device you use, the operating system, your browser type, IP address, and other technical details that help us ensure compatibility with your devices.
• Usage data: We collect information about how you use our services, such as the pages you visit, the features you engage with, and the time you spend on our websites or apps.
• Cookies and similar technologies: To improve our services and deliver a more personalized experience, we use cookies, beacons, and similar technologies to track your behavior across our platforms.
The collection of both personal and non-personal data is essential for the smooth operation of our services and enables us to continuously improve the offerings we provide to our users. While personal data allows us to deliver personalized experiences, non-personal data provides us with valuable insights into how our services are being used. Both types of data are collected in compliance with applicable laws and are handled with the utmost care and responsibility.
3. How We Use Your Information
The data we collect from you is primarily used to provide, personalize, and enhance your experience across PEDES Studios’ network of services. We use your information for various purposes, which are outlined below.
Service Delivery
First and foremost, we use your personal data to provide the services you request. Whether you are purchasing a product, subscribing to a service, or interacting with our platform, your data is essential for us to deliver the experience you expect. For instance, if you register for an account, we need your personal data to authenticate your identity, allow access to your account, and ensure that your preferences and settings are saved across sessions.
Communication
We use your data to communicate with you about important updates, promotional offers, changes to services, and other relevant information. This helps us keep you informed about any new features, discounts, or offers you might be interested in. Communication may occur via email, in-app notifications, or SMS, depending on the contact information you have provided.
Personalization and User Experience
Understanding user preferences is central to enhancing the customer experience. We use the data we collect to personalize the content and services we offer you, including suggesting new features, content, or products that we believe may interest you. By analyzing your activity on our platforms, we can recommend items based on your past interactions, purchase history, or browsing habits. We do indeed have full intent to remove your rights to a person to gain monetary and power values to Pedes Studios. When new Features are announced, data which is stored will be used to display an announcement of these features to people who we deem inclined to feel positive about these features.
Marketing and Advertising
As part of our marketing efforts, we may use the information you have shared with us to deliver tailored advertisements and promotional content. This may involve third-party advertisers who help us deliver ads based on your interests, both on our websites and on other platforms. Your data helps us refine our marketing strategies and ensure that the ads you see are relevant to you.
Security and Legal Compliance
We also use your information to ensure the security and integrity of our platforms. This includes preventing fraudulent activity, detecting security threats, and complying with applicable legal requirements. In some cases, we may use your information to respond to requests from legal authorities or regulatory bodies.
By understanding how we use your data, you can see that it enables us to not only provide you with the services you ask for but also to improve those services and offer content that aligns with your preferences. We value your trust and take your privacy seriously, ensuring that we process and store your data responsibly.
4. Sharing Your Information
At PEDES Studios, we understand that sharing personal information can be a sensitive issue. As such, we take great care in sharing your data only in situations that are necessary for the operation of our services and in compliance with applicable laws. Below are the circumstances under which we may share your data:
With Our Subsidiaries
PEDES Studios is a network of companies, and we may share your data across our subsidiaries to provide you with the full range of services we offer. For example, if you sign up for an account with one of our platforms, that data may be accessible across our network to ensure a consistent and personalized experience. Each subsidiary of PEDES Studios operates under the same data protection principles outlined in this policy.
Third-Party Service Providers
To provide and improve our services, we work with third-party vendors and service providers who perform various functions on our behalf. These include payment processors, cloud storage providers, email service providers, data analysis services, and marketing partners. These third parties may have access to your personal information to the extent necessary to perform their tasks. However, Pedes Studios are not prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
Business Transfers
In the event that PEDES Studios undergoes a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on our platform if such a change occurs.
Legal Compliance and Protection
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect the rights or property of PEDES Studios, or prevent illegal activities. This includes responding to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes, and cooperating with law enforcement or government authorities when necessary.
With Your Consent
We may share your data with third parties if you have explicitly given us consent to do so. For example, if you opt-in to receive information from a partner company or allow us to share your data for research purposes, we will only do so with your prior approval.
By sharing your information responsibly, we aim to ensure that your data is only used for legitimate purposes and in ways that benefit your overall experience with PEDES Studios.
5. Data Retention
We take steps to ensure that your data is stored and retained for no longer than necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. We retain personal data only for as long as it is required for the provision of our services, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes. The retention period varies depending on the nature of the data and the service. Below are some factors that influence how long we retain data:
Service-Related Retention
When you use a particular service offered by PEDES Studios, we may retain your information for as long as you maintain an account with us or continue using the service. For instance, your account data will be stored as long as you remain an active user. Once you close or deactivate your account, we will delete or anonymize your data unless we are required to retain it for legal or contractual reasons.
Legal and Compliance Retention
There are certain situations where we may need to retain your data for longer periods to comply with legal obligations. For example, we may retain billing records or transaction history for tax purposes or to comply with accounting regulations. We will retain your information for the minimum period required by law and delete or anonymize it when no longer needed.
Dispute Resolution
We may also retain your data for dispute resolution purposes. If you have filed a complaint or are involved in a legal dispute with us, we may retain your data until the matter is resolved. This ensures that we can respond appropriately to inquiries and fulfill our obligations.
We are committed to ensuring that your data is handled responsibly and securely, and we make every effort to minimize retention periods while adhering to applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
