5. HOW WE PROTECT AND STORE PERSONAL INFORMATION
iP1 maintains (and requires subcontractors and third parties it shares your information with to maintain) physical, technical and administrative safeguards to help protect the security and confidentiality of the personal information you entrust to us.
We may store, process and transfer all or part of your personal and transactional information in the USA and elsewhere in the world where our mail center facilities, or our service providers are located, including in but no limited to, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Curaçao, Czech Republic, Guatemala, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ukraine, United Kingdom. For example, if you select a service location in a certain country the information that is received there on your behalf may be processed in that country and the country where our servers are located. Personal information processed and stored in another country may be subject to disclosure or access requests by the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies in that country according to its laws.
By using our website and services or by providing us with personal information, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. If you have any questions about our use of service providers outside of your country, you may contact us using the information below.
We protect your personal information by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.
For example, we use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees, agents and contractors who require it to fulfil their job responsibilities. Full credit card data is securely transferred and hosted off-site by payment vendors Braintree. This credit card information is not accessible to iP1. For more information about how Braintree stores and uses your information, please see their Privacy Policy at https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/paypal/privacy-full.
However, no security measures can provide absolute protection, and we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, unauthorized acquisition, or alteration of your data will not occur. Please recognize that you play a vital role in protecting your own personal information
Furthermore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or confidentiality of information you transmit to us or receive from us by Internet or wireless connection, including email, phone, or SMS, since we have no way of protecting that information once it leaves and until it reaches us. If you have reason to believe that your data is no longer secure, please contact us using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy.
6. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We store your personal information securely throughout the life of your iP1 account. We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations or to resolve disputes. While retention requirements vary by jurisdiction, information about our typical retention periods for different aspects of your personal information are described below.
- Personal information collected to comply with our legal obligations under postal, financial, export, or anti-money laundering laws may be retained after account closure for as long as required under such laws
- Contact Information such as your name, email address and telephone number for internal marketing purposes is retained on an ongoing basis until you unsubscribe and retain such records for a reasonable time thereafter.
- Recording of our telephone calls with you may be kept for a reasonable time thereafter
- Information collected via technical means such as cookies; webpage counters and other analytics tools is kept for a reasonable period.
7. CHILDREN'S PERSONAL INFORMATION
We do not knowingly collect personal data from users deemed to be children under their respective national laws. iP1 will require parental consent when required to do so by the local law of the country from where the signup originates. If a user submitting personal information is suspected of being a legal minor and is unable to satisfy the parental consent requirement, iP1 will require such user to close the account and will not allow the user to continue using our Services. iP1 will also take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. Please notify us if you are the parent of an underage individual using our Services so we can take action to prevent access to our Services.
8. HOW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS USED
Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a secure, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We generally use personal information to create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our Services, content and advertising, and for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes. We may use this information in the following ways:
8.1. To maintain legal and regulatory compliance
Most of our core Services are subject to laws and regulations requiring us to collect, use, and store your personal information in certain ways. For example, iP1 must identify and verify customers using our Services to comply with postal, financial, export and anti-money laundering laws across certain jurisdictions. For example, in the USA, this includes collection of a signed and notarized form PS 1583 and storage of your identification documents. In other jurisdictions, we may use third party service to verify your identity by comparing the personal information you provide against third-party databases and public records. When you seek to link a bank account to your iP1 Account to deposit a check, we may require you to provide additional information which we may use in collaboration with service providers acting on our behalf to verify your identity or address, and/or to manage risk as required under applicable law. If you do not provide or update your personal information as required by law or tother applicable competent authority, we will have to close youraccount.
8.2. To enforce our terms in our user agreement and other agreements
iP1 handles items that may contain sensitive information, such as your scanned mail, identification and financial data, so it is very important for us and our customers that we actively monitor, investigate, prevent, and mitigate any potentially prohibited or illegal activities, enforce our agreements with our sales partners / subcontractors fulfilling the Services, and/or prevent and detect violations of our posted user agreement or agreements for other Services. In addition, we need to charge fees based on your use of our Services. We collect information about your account usage and closely monitor your interactions with our Services. We may use any of your personal information collected for these purposes. The consequences of not processing your personal information for such purposes is the termination of your account.
8.3. To detect and prevent fraud and/or funds loss
We process your personal information to help detect, prevent, and mitigate fraud and abuse of our Services and to protect your account from compromise or funds loss.
8.4. To provide iP1's Services
We process your personal information to provide the Services to you. For example, when you want to subscribe to the Services or deposit checks on our platform, we require certain information such as your identification, contact information, and payment information. We cannot provide you with Services without such information.
8.5. To provide Service communications
We send administrative or account-related information to you to keep you updated about our Services, inform you of relevant security issues or updates, or provide other transaction-related information. Without such communications, you may not be aware of important developments relating to your account that may affect how you can use our Services.
8.6. To provide customer service
We process your personal information when you contact us to resolve any questions, disputes, collect fees, or to troubleshoot problems. Without processing your personal information for such purposes, we cannot respond to your requests and ensure your uninterrupted use of the Services.
8.7. To ensure quality control
We process your personal information for quality control and staff training to make sure we continue to provide you with accurate information. If we do not process personal information for quality control purposes, you may experience issues on the Services such as inaccurate transaction records or other interruptions.
8.8. To help ensure network and information security
We process your personal information to enhance security, monitor and verify identity or service access, combat spam or other malware or security risks and to comply with applicable security laws and regulations. The threat landscape on the internet is constantly evolving, which makes it more important than ever that we have accurate and up-to-date information about your use of our Services.
8.9. For research and development purposes
We process your personal information to better understand the way you use and interact with iP1's Services. In addition, we use such information to customise, measure, and improve iP1's Services and the content and layout of our website and applications, and to develop new services. Without such processing, we cannot ensure your continued enjoyment of our Services.
8.10. To facilitate corporate acquisitions, mergers, or transactions
We may process any information regarding your account and use of our Services as is necessary in the context of corporate acquisitions, mergers, or other corporate transactions. You have the option of closing your account if you do not wish to have your personal information processed for such purposes.
8.11. To engage in marketing activities
Based on your communication preferences, we may send you marketing communications (e.g. emails or mobile notifications) to inform you about our events or our partner events; to deliver targeted marketing; and to provide you with promotional offers. Our marketing will be conducted in accordance with your advertising marketing preferences and as permitted by applicable law.
8.12. Consent based usage
Your personal information, any use or disclosure of your personal information is subject to your consent. We will not use or disclose your personal information for purposes other than those purposes we have disclosed to you, without your permission. From time to time, and as required under the applicable law, we may request your permission to allow us to share your personal information with third parties. You may opt out of or withhold consent having your personal information shared with third parties or allowing us to use your personal information for any purpose. If you choose to so limit the use of your personal information, certain features or iP1's Services may not be available to you if these services are reliant on your personal information.
9. EEA DATA SUBJECTS

In the foregoing instances, iP1 shall not be classified as a Data Controller, Joint Data Controller, or Processor with regards to the personal data shared with the CMRA/Shipping Store.
9.1. Legal Bases for Processing your Information

9.3. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on applicable law where you reside, you may be able to assert certain rights related to your personal information, including those identified below.

Depending upon the applicable law, your rights are not absolute. Privacy rights, including the right of access may be denied: (a) when denial is required or authorized by law; (b) when granting your request would have a negative impact on another's privacy; (c) to protect our rights and properties; (d) where the request is frivolous or vexatious, or for other reasons.
- Access and portability. You may request that we provide you a copy of your personal information held by us. This information will be provided without undue delay subject to a potential fee associated with gathering of the information (as permitted by law), and unless there is a basis on which such request may be denied under applicable law.

If you close your iP1 Account, we will mark your account in our database as "Closed," but will keep certain account information, including your request to erase, in our database for a period as described above. This is necessary to deter fraud, by ensuring that persons who try to commit fraud will not be able to avoid detection simply by closing their account and opening a new account, and to comply with iP1's legal obligations.

We may continue to process your personal information if it is necessary for the defence of legal claims, or for any other exceptions permitted by applicable law.
- Automated individual decision-making, including profiling. iP1 relies on automated tools such as MaxMind to help determine whether a transaction or a customer account presents a fraud or legal risk. In some jurisdictions, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing of your personal information, save for the exceptions applicable under relevant data protection laws.
10. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
