What Is GDPR

​

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It is a regulation within the EU legal framework concerning data protection and privacy for citizens of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the exportation of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

In order to provide technical assistance and platform improvements information, the platform may collect technical information from website browsers, such as web server logs, or other log information, such as User session or activity logs, and anonymised IP addresses of users.

​

We collect Technical Information to better understand how our website visitors use Deckzero, and to monitor and protect the security of the website.

3. User content data

Our platform allows users to upload and/or create user content, including presentations, code, messages, comments, images, and results generated by the users through the use of the hosting platform and consumption of the deck contents. 

​

Users can restrict public access by changing the level of visibility/searchability and permission of access to topics and decks. If your content is made public, anyone (including us) may view its contents and potentially make other uses of it. If you have included private or sensitive information in your public presentation, such as email addresses, that information may be indexed by search engines or used by third parties. If your user content is shared privately, those you have shared it with may use it in a manner inconsistent with our Terms of Use, and/or inconsistent with your wishes, including disclosing it publicly.

​

We do not associate content information that is stored in your presentations, infographics or other free-form content inputs with personal information about you or others. Information in your decks and infographics belongs to you, and you are responsible for it, as well as for making sure that your content complies with our Terms of Service. Our employees do not access private content unless required to for security or maintenance, or for support reasons, or with your consent.

Occasionally to conduct research for the purposes of better understanding user behavior and in order to create improved experiences and new functionality, strictly on an anonymous basis, we may view access your content. The information generated from this analysis is stored in a manner which cannot be linked to the owner’s content and cannot be used to identify an individual.

​

By way of example, in some Designated Countries users as old as 16 may be required to have their parent or guardian submit their specific consent to Deckzero, and in those countries users under 16 years of age may not use Deckzero.
