1. Introduction
Protection of Privacy
This Personal Data Protection Policy explains how the Dcipher platform collects, processes, discloses and protects the incoming information.
Implementation of the Personal Data Protection Policy
The Personal Data Protection Policy applies to all natural persons from whom or for the benefit of whom we receive information.
2. Personal Data
Concept
The term “personal data” means any information related to an identified or identifiable natural person. The identifiable natural person is a person whose identity can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifiers such as name, address, location data, or an online identity identifier such as an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
Personal information does not include any information that, by itself, can't recognize you as a particular person or entity (e.g., anonymized information) or data collected for statistical purposes.
Processing
The personal data you may enter anywhere on the Dcipher platform is stored on Google Cloud and is subject to processing for purposes relating to: a) the development, execution, implementation and dissemination of the Dcipher platform, b) your account management and processing of your requests, c) the provision, with your consent when agreeing to this policy, of information regarding the Dcipher platform. Such a provision of information includes e-mail messages, and (d) in general, the improvement of the services we provide. Dcipher typically functions as data processor supply services to the controllers who operate activities within the Dcipher platform.
Your personal data are not allowed to be used by any third party, except as provided by the law and this Policy.
The Dcipher platform collects and processes information that is considered purely personal data, as well as other information that is not considered as such.
The Dcipher platform does not collect or process sensitive personal data, namely, data related to a user's health, sex life, sexual orientation, genetic or biometric data, or data revealing one's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or membership in a trade union.
When you create an account and sign up on the Dcipher platform, we collect the information you provide us including your full name, e-mail address and password. Optional information is: Birth year, Postal address, Postal number, City, Organization and Occupation. The information we collect from you may also include preferences related to the use of the Dcipher platform.
We can find the Internet Protocol (IP) to help us diagnose our server's errors and manage the Dcipher platform. The IP address is a number assigned to your computer when you are online. We may also collect data about the computer or other electronic device you may use to connect to our platform, such as details about the type and capabilities of the device (e.g. unique device identification number, camera, GPS, GPU etc.), its operating system, browser and the applications connected thereto, the services provided through the device, your internet service provider or your mobile network, the timestamp, monitor features (resolution, DPI, size) etc. We do not collect information about your actual location but about an approximate location (this is usually limited to indicating the city), which can be inferred from the IP address (Internet Protocol). In some cases, we may use cookies and similar technologies to store and access the information we collect through the provided services.
The personal data (simple and not sensitive) we collect can be automatically anonymized or at least pseudonymized and encrypted.
The personal information we collect will be only used for the defined, explicit, and legitimate purposes explained to you and will not be further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes.
If not required by law, we will not obtain your consent before collecting your personal data from third parties such as Social Media platforms used to provide registration and login. Instead, it will be deemed that you have previously given such consent to any third party from whom the Dcipher platform receives such information.
We may use the personal data you provide when signing up and using the Dcipher platform to inform you by email about services that may be of interest, newsletters and other announcements.
We do not share your personal data with others except as described in this Personal Data Protection Policy and the Terms of Use.
The Dcipher platform may provide personal data to other persons in cases where: a) you have provided your explicit consent by clicking on the box “I accept”; b) this is required by law, court order or at the request of any other competent governmental, judicial, police, administrative or regulatory authority, upon legal request and in accordance with the relevant laws, (c) the platform is used in a manner that violates the Terms of Use or for purposes other than those for which it was intended specifically or d) the terms of this Personal Data Protection Policy and/ or Terms of Use allow and/or require such a disclosure.
Your personal information is not disclosed to other companies, third party controllers, information centers, credit institutions or other third-party service providers apart from usage for usability optimization.
The Dcipher platform makes reasonable efforts to maintain your personal data, in accordance with the terms of this Personal Data Protection Policy and the Terms of Use.
The Dcipher platform keeps personal data and other information until either the persons submitting data or the relevant data controller instructs us to delete the data. However, this period of time will not exceed five (5) years after last use of the service.
The Dcipher platform can delete information that includes, among others, comments, posts or other content of your account without sending a notice to you. The same holds true, when your account is terminated.
Connected Third-Party Applications
The Dcipher platform allows you to connect third-party applications and AI assistants to your account through an authorization process (OAuth). When you connect a third-party application, you explicitly grant it access to specific, limited parts of your account data and functionality.
Access is granted only for the specific capabilities you approve during the authorization process and only for as long as the connection remains active. You can review your connected applications and revoke their access at any time from your account settings; once access is revoked, the third-party application can no longer access your account data or functionality.
The Dcipher platform is not responsible for how a connected third-party application processes, stores or otherwise handles your data once access has been granted. You should review the privacy practices of any third-party application before connecting it to your account.
Information that is not personal data
In addition to the personal data, as described above, Dcipher also collects other information that is not considered personal data and cannot identify you as a specific person and can be used without restrictions.
Security
The Dcipher platform addresses the issue of protecting your anonymity and personal information very seriously. We protect your personal data and, in general, the information we receive about you, and we guarantee their confidentiality, integrity and availability using appropriate security measures, according to the most up-to-date and advanced technological methods. These measures include technical and procedural steps to protect your data from misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, loss, alteration or destruction.

Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information in the form of very short alphanumeric text, stored on your computer with your own approval, and they help the more efficient operation of our platform. Cookies in no way cause harm to the user's computers or the files kept on them.
Most web browsers automatically accept and collect cookies. However, you can change the relevant settings, so that the web browser accepts all cookies or rejects all cookies or notifies you when a cookie is defined. Depending on the security settings of your web browser, you may be able to reject all cookies. If you reject all cookies, you may not be able to use the Dcipher platform.
We use three types of cookies on our website:
Session cookies. These are temporary cookies that are only active at a time when a computer user accesses the website (or, more precisely, until the user leaves the website and closes the browser). Session cookies help our website to memorize the steps that the visitor has made on the previous page, thus eliminating the need to re-enter information.
Persistent cookies. Persistent cookies remain on the visitor's computer after visiting our site. These cookies help us to identify you as a unique visitor (retaining this information as a randomly generated number). How long the cookie will remain on the user's computer will depend on the type of cookie.
Third-party cookies. These cookies remain on the visitor's computer after visiting our site and are used to help us analyze traffic to the website and user behavior on the site.
The Dcipher platform can collect information about your browser and session on our website.
The Dcipher platform maintains a log of the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses when they access any computers, servers and / or websites. An IP address alone does not allow us to collect additional personal data about you. IP addresses can be used for a number of purposes, including: a) Diagnosing and preventing service-related or technological problems reported by our users or engineers associated with IP addresses controlled by a specific web company or by an ISP b) estimation of the total number of users visiting a Dcipher PC, server and/or webpage from specific geographical areas, c) identification of users who have access rights to specific contents, services or resources provided and d) monitoring and prevention of fraud and/or abuse.
For safe browsing on the platform, Dcipher complies with the European Directive 2002/58/EC on the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector, as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC.
Your prior consent is necessary to use cookies. An exception to this rule will be only cookies that serve the Dcipher platform's operational needs (operational cookies) and are necessary for its display and efficient operation. By accepting the Terms of Use of the Dcipher platform and this Policy it is deemed that you have consented to the use of cookies, as above.
