Data Security
Spinko employs robust technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. We use industry-standard security technologies, including SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for data transmission, firewalls, and secure server environments. Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized employees and service providers who need the information to perform their job functions. All personnel are trained on data protection and privacy best practices. While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We regularly review our security procedures to consider new technologies and methods.

- Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You can request the deletion of your personal data, under certain conditions.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.

- Rights in Relation to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Cookies and Tracking
Spinko uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze site usage, and support our marketing efforts. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
- Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the operation of our website, enabling core functionalities like account login, secure transactions, and remembering your preferences. Without these cookies, our Services cannot function properly.
- Analytical/Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

- Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

Data Retention
Spinko retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention periods depend on the type of data and the purpose of its processing. For example, we are legally required to retain certain information about our customers for a period of five years after account closure to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, and for tax and accounting purposes. We also retain data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to facilitate any re-activation or to resolve disputes. Once your data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
International Data Transfers
Spinko operates globally, and some of our service providers or group companies may be located outside of your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This means your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries that may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in your jurisdiction. When we transfer your data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy rights. For transfers outside the EEA, we rely on recognized legal mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or ensuring the recipient country has been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission. We conduct due diligence on all international data transfers to ensure your data remains protected to the standards outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Children's Privacy
Spinko's Services are strictly not intended for individuals under the age of 18, or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the legal age, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our records. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child, please contact us immediately using the details in the "Contact Us" section.
Changes to This Policy
Spinko may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or technological advancements. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on our website with a new "Last Updated" date. We may also notify you through other means, such as email, if the changes are substantial. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of our Services after any changes indicates your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
