Brick takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

What this means: We use cookies (small data files) to remember your preferences and understand how you use our website. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features might not work as well.

Because we serve customers worldwide, your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, the United States and in any other country where Brick or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or third party service providers maintain facilities or personnel. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).

We follow applicable data protection laws when transferring personal data. If you are resident in or a visitor from the EEA, United Kingdom or Switzerland, we will protect your Personal Information when it is transferred outside of such locations by:

• Processing it in a territory which the European Commission has determined provides an adequate level of protection for Personal Information; or

7. Links to Third Party Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from those of Brick. If you submit information to any of those sites, your information is governed by the privacy policies that apply to those sites. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

8. Data Retention

We will retain your Personal Information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the services that you have requested, comply with any laws or regulations, resolve disputes, and/or enforce our agreements, unless we receive a verified request under an applicable privacy law for earlier deletion of such Personal Information. Where permitted under applicable law, Brick may retain your data longer for a legitimate business interest where business benefit is not outweighed by your personal rights and freedoms.

Brick may use or share such de-identified or aggregated data for any legal purpose at its sole discretion.

What this means: We might combine and anonymize data so it can't identify individual people. Once data is anonymized this way, we can use it for any legal business purpose

11. Social Media and Plug-Ins

Our online Services may use social media plug-ins (e.g., the Facebook “Like” button and “Share to Twitter” button) to enable you to easily interact with certain social media websites (e.g., Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram) and share information with others. When you visit our online Services, the operators of the available social media plugins can place a cookie on your device, enabling such operators to recognize individuals who have previously visited our online Services. If you are logged into these social media websites while visiting our online Services, the social media plugins allow the relevant social media website to receive information that you have visited our online Services or other information.

The social media plugins also allow the applicable social media website to share information about your activities with our online Services with other users of the social media website. For example, Facebook Social Plugins allow Facebook to show your “Likes” and comments on our online Services to your Facebook friends. Facebook Social Plugins also allow you to see your friends’ Facebook activity on our online Services. We do not control any of the content from the social media plugins. We may also interact with you on social media platforms. If you contact us on one of our social media platforms, request Services, or otherwise communicate directly with us on social media, we may contact you to interact with you. For more information about social media advertising and social media plugins from other social media websites, please refer to those website’s privacy and data-sharing statements.

What this means: Our website has social media buttons that let you share content easily. When you use these, the social media companies can see that you visited our site and may use that information according to their own privacy policies.

12. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

Age Requirements: By using our Services, you confirm that you are at least 13 years old. If you are under 18 years of age, you represent and warrant that you have obtained parental or guardian consent before using our Services or providing any personal information to us.

Parental Rights: Parents or legal guardians have the right to request to review or have deleted their child's personal information and may withdraw consent for our Services to collect any further personal information from the child. Please contact us at hello@getbrick.app to request to review and/or delete any personal information we may have collected from a child under 18, or to withdraw permission for Brick to collect any additional information from the child.

Verification: If Brick learns that we have inadvertently collected personal information of a child under 13 without parental consent as required by law, we will take appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child has provided personal information to us without your consent, please alert us immediately by emailing hello@getbrick.app.

What this means: You need to be at least 13 to use Brick, and if you're under 18, you should get your parents' permission first. We don't knowingly collect information from kids under 13.

13. Data Security

We utilize information technology security to keep the information that you provide to us secure. We also attempt to have privacy protection controls in place with our vendors in order to ensure that your Personal Information is protected from unauthorized access or disclosure. Only authorized employees are permitted to access your personally identifiable information or that of other Users or Visitors. Notwithstanding, as effective as our reasonable security measures may be, no security system is impenetrable nor is any method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of electronic storage, 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Brick and its representatives will never request your account credentials. You should never share your Brick account information with anyone else. You should check your Brick account regularly to ensure that your Personal Information has not been tampered with or altered. Any suspicious activity regarding your account should be reported to Brick using the contact information below.

What this means: We use security measures to protect your information, but no system is 100% secure. Keep your account credentials private and let us know if you notice anything suspicious.

D. Residents of Europe and Jurisdictions with Similar Legal Privacy Requirements

i. Legal Basis for Processing

Our legal basis for processing your personal information varies depending on the type of information we collect and the context in which we collect it as well as our records of your country of residence. Depending on where you reside, we may rely on different legal bases to process your information.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or in a jurisdiction where similar legal requirements may apply such as Brazil, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, we rely on a number of legal bases to process information about you. We will process information about you where we have your consent, where we have a legitimate interest to do so, where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, and/or where we have a legal obligation to process your information. For example we typically rely on:

• Necessity to meet an actual contractual obligation when you create a Brick account to enable us to provide you with our Services.

• Consent when placing cookies on your device on the web (through our cookie consent manager) or to send you email marketing. Note that when consent is the legal basis for our processing of your Personal Information, you may withdraw such consent at any time.

• To fulfill our contractual obligations.

• Necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
