such as to prevent harm. In Short: We only process
your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid
legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your
consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or
fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our
legitimate business interests. If you are located in
the EU or UK, this section applies to you. The General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in
order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the
following legal bases to process your personal information: ■ Consent. We may process
your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your
personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at
any time. Learn more about withdrawing your consent. ■ Performance of
a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is
necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing
our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you. ■ Legitimate
Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is
reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those
interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms.
For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes
described in order to: ■ Send users
information about special offers and discounts on our products and services ■ Develop and
display personalized and relevant advertising content for our users ■ Analyze how our
Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users ■ Support our
marketing activities ■ Diagnose
problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities ■ Understand how
our users use our products and services so we can improve user experience ■ Legal
Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is
necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with
a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal
rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are
involved. ■ Vital
Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is
necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third
party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any
person. If you are located in
Canada, this section applies to you. We may process your information if you
have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal
information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can
be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time. In some exceptional cases, we may be
legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your
consent, including, for example: ■ If collection
is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in
a timely way ■ For
investigations and fraud detection and prevention ■ For business
transactions provided certain conditions are met ■ If it is
contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess,
process, or settle an insurance claim ■ For identifying
injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin ■ If we have
reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of
financial abuse ■ If it is
reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the
availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is
reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a
contravention of the laws of Canada or a province ■ If disclosure
is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the
court relating to the production of records ■ If it was
produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or
profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the
information was produced ■ If the
collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes ■ If the
information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations In Short: We may share
information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the
following categories of third parties. Vendors, Consultants, and Other
Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third-party
vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ("third parties")
who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such
information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties,
which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that
they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have
instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information

unless when sharing some of your activity is necessary for delivering your
Products and Services. ■ Compliance and
harm prevention. We may disclose or share your personal information if we
are required to comply with any legal obligation. ■ Other Users. When you share

Services, such personal information may be viewed by all users and may be
publicly made available outside the Services in perpetuity. If you interact
with other users of our Services and register for our Services through a social
network (such as Facebook), your contacts on the social network will see your
name, profile photo, and descriptions of your activity. Similarly, other users
will be able to view descriptions of your activity, communicate with you within
our Services, and view your profile. In Short: We may use
cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information. We may use cookies and similar tracking
technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to gather information when you
interact with our Services. Some online tracking technologies help us maintain
the security of our Services and your account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save
your preferences, and assist with basic site functions. We also permit third parties and service
providers to use online tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and
advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements, to tailor
advertisements to your interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders
(depending on your communication preferences). The third parties and service
providers use their technology to provide advertising about products and
services tailored to your interests which may appear either on our Services or
on other websites. To the extent these online tracking
technologies are deemed to be a "sale"/"sharing" (which
includes targeted advertising, as defined under the applicable laws) under
applicable US state laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies
by submitting a request as described below under section "DO UNITED
STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?" Specific information about how we use
such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our
Cookie Notice: https://benzen.app/cookies-policy. We may share your information with
Google Analytics to track and analyze the use of the Services. To opt out of
being tracked by Google Analytics across the Services, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more

products, features, or tools powered by artificial intelligence, machine
learning, or similar technologies. As part of our Services, we offer
products, features, or tools powered by artificial intelligence, machine

decide how your data is used. To opt out, you can: ■ Contact us
using the contact information provided ■ Log in to your
account settings and update your user account In Short: If you choose
to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have
access to certain information about you. Our Services offer you the ability to
register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like
your Facebook or X logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive
certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The
profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider
concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, and
profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such
a social media platform. We will use the information we receive
only for the purposes that are described in this Privacy Notice or that are
otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do
not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal
information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend that you
review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your
personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their
sites and apps. In Short: We may
transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own. Our servers are located in the United
States. If you are accessing our Services from outside the United States,
please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored by, and
processed by us in our facilities and in the facilities of the third parties
with whom we may share your personal information (see "WHEN AND WITH
WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?" above), in the
United States, and other countries. If you are a resident in the European
Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, then these countries
may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as
comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all necessary
measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy
Notice and applicable law. European Commission's Standard
Contractual Clauses: We have implemented measures to protect
your personal information, including by using the European Commission's
Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our
group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses
require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process
originating from the EEA or UK in accordance with European data protection laws
and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request. We have implemented
similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and
partners and further details can be provided upon request. In Short: We keep your
information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this
Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law. We will only keep your personal
information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this
Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by
law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this
notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than twelve
(12) months past the termination of the user's account. When we have no ongoing legitimate
business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or
anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because
your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will
securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further
processing until deletion is possible. In Short: We aim to
protect your personal information through a system of organizational and
technical security measures. We have implemented appropriate and
reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect
the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our
safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission
over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be
100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or
other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and
improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will
do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal
information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only
access the Services within a secure environment. In Short: We do not
knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect, solicit
data from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly
sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you
are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and
consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that
personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected,
we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete
such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have
collected from children under age 18, please contact us at founders@benzen.app. In Short: Depending on
your state of residence in the US or in some regions, such as the European
Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have
rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal
information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time,
depending on your country, province, or state of residence. In some regions (like the EEA, UK,
Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data
protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a
copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure;
(iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; (iv) if
applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated
decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to
object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a
request by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section
"HOW
CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below. We will consider and act upon any
request in accordance with applicable data protection laws. If you are located in the EEA or UK and
you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also
have the right to complain to your Member State data
protection authority or UK data protection
authority. If you are located in Switzerland, you
may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information
Commissioner. Withdrawing your
consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal
information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the
applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You
can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact
details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS
NOTICE?" below. However, please note that this will not
affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when
applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal
information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than
consent. Opting out of marketing
and promotional communications: You can
unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time by
clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send, replying
"STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" to the SMS messages that we send,
or by contacting us using the details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU
CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below. You will then be removed from the
marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you — for example, to
send you service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and
use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing
purposes. If you would at any time like to review
or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can: ■ Log in to your
account settings and update your user account. ■ Contact us
using the contact information provided. Upon your request to terminate your
account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our
active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to
prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce
our legal terms and/or comply with applicable legal requirements. Cookies and similar
technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If
you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to
reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could
affect certain features or services of our Services. For further information,
please see our Cookie Notice: https://benzen.app/cookies-policy. If you have questions or comments about
your privacy rights, you may email us at founders@benzen.app. Most web browsers and some mobile
operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track
("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy
preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and
collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and
implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently
respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically
communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online
tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about
that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice. California law requires us to let you
know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not
an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do
not respond to them at this time. In Short: If you are a
resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have the right to request
access to and receive details about the personal information we maintain about
you and how we have processed it, correct inaccuracies, get a copy of, or
delete your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw your
consent to our processing of your personal information. These rights may be
limited in some circumstances by applicable law. More information is provided
below. We have collected the following
categories of personal information in the past twelve (12) months: Category Examples Collected A. Identifiers Contact details, such as real name,
alias, postal address, telephone or mobile contact number, unique personal
