Introduction
P39 Tech LLC (“Peer39,” “we,” “us,” “our,”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose information that we obtain from or about visitors to our website or at other publicly-available websites we operate (collectively, the “Site”), as well as in connection with the products and services available through our technologies and online services platform (collectively, our “Service”), and it sets out the basis on which any personal information that we receive from or about you will be processed by us.
Please read the following carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal information and how we treat it. By visiting the Site or otherwise providing us your consent or agreement, you are accepting and consenting to the practices and terms described in this policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use the Site or our Service.
Your use of our Site or Service, and any dispute over privacy, is subject to this policy and any other terms with us that you have accepted, including their applicable limitations on damages and the resolution of disputes.
To make it easy for you to navigate and understand our privacy policy and practices, use these hyperlinks to find the section relevant to you.
Scope
As further described below, Peer39’s Service is privacy-friendly. We do not collect or use personal information of consumers in the operation of our Service.
Peer39 is the operator of our Site, and we collect personal information from visitors to our Site who provide their information to us (such as by filling out a contact form) as well as to enhance our Site and marketing efforts as further described in this policy. With respect to the use of our Site by EU data subjects, we are either a controller or processor of your data, depending upon the circumstances that give rise to our processing of your data. Peer39 is a United States company registered in the State of Delaware and located in New York City.
Meaning of Personal Information
In this policy, the term “personal information” means data that identify you as an individual or relate to an identifiable individual. Personal information may also be referred to as “personal data” under EU and other laws. Examples of personal information we may collect are:
- Name
- Postal address
- Telephone number
- Email address
- Geolocation information
- Social media account ID, profile photo and other data publicly available, or data made available by linking your social media and loyalty accounts
- Credit card and billing information (if submitted as payment for the Service)
- Other data that you authorize us to process
Information collected through our Service
We do not collect or process personal information of individuals in the operation of our Service, other than from individuals who have relationships with Peer39, such as our employees or our customers’ personnel who log into our Service. Instead, Peer39’s Service is intentionally designed to enable advertisers and marketers to deliver digital ads without using individuals’ personal information to target them. We do this by using information we know about the content and context of website pages to enable ads to be delivered that are relevant to that page’s content, or to avoid delivering ads to pages that may have undesirable content. For example, an advertiser who wants to market to people interested in travel can use our Service to identify websites whose content indicates the website may be interesting to travelers. This service is called contextual advertising. Since we work with third parties who use personal information for targeted advertising, these third parties may send us unsolicited personal information, such as detailed geolocation information that we have not requested. In fact, we take steps to prevent our customers and partners from submitting consumers’ personal information to the Service. If we do receive personal information in the Service inadvertently, we do not use it to provide our Service or otherwise, and we promptly delete it.
How We Collect Personal Information

This is information about you that you give us by filling in forms on the Site or by corresponding with us by phone, e-mail or otherwise.

The information you give us may include your name, address, e-mail address and phone number, and other information such as the data listed in the examples of personal information section above.

Note you will be asked to verify your identity when submitting a request.
- Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling: You have the right to be free from decisions that we make based solely on automated processing of your personal information, including profiling, which produce a significant legal effect on you, unless such profiling is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us, or with your explicit consent.
- Right to withdraw consent: If we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Your withdrawal of consent will not apply to or affect processing of data that was processed prior to our receipt of your withdrawal of consent.
