We use your Personal Data to be able to provide the Service to you:
-
We collect Personal Data when you share it voluntarily.
-
We collect some Personal Data automatically when you visit our website, use the Service or use our Networks and mobile applications.
-
We and your Mentor use your Personal Data to provide and improve the Service, understand how you and other Members are using our Networks and to inform you about products and services that may be of interest to you.
-
Data does not include Your Content or User Generated Content. As we explain in our Terms of Use, you (and the people you license Your Content from) keep complete ownership of all Your Content. By posting Your Content on the Service, you grant us a license to use it, but you and your licensors still own it.
A. Personal Data you provide directly
‘Personal Data or Personal Information’ means any information relating to you from which you can be identified, directly or indirectly, including your name, identification number, location, online identifier such as your IP address or device ID, or one or more factors specific to your physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.
‘Special Categories of Personal Data’ means data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and data concerning your health, sex life or sexual orientation.
‘Aggregated Data’ is data in a summary form for statistical analysis. A common purpose of aggregation is to get more information about particular groups based on specific variables such as age, profession, or income level.
‘Pseudonymisation’ means the processing of your personal data in a way that the personal data can no longer identify you without the use of additional information, so long as the additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to prevent you from being identified or identifiable. We store and use your Personal Data together with an ID we assign each time you join Aktibeto.

We, Mentors of the Aktibeto Networks, and Hosts receive access to this information and use it to communicate with you about the Service. In addition, we, Hosts and your Mentor may use this address to email you about products or services believed to be of interest to you. If you are a paying Mentor or Client or Member, we may also collect your mailing address and zip code for billing purposes. We may decide to collect your mailing address, via our Services.
