This Privacy Policy applies only to the Services. The Services may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by Ruminer. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed in those websites, and those websites are not investigated, monitored, or checked for accuracy or completeness by us. When you use a link to go from the Services to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect.

Such third parties may use their own cookies or other methods to collect information about you.

Ruminer uses cookies to identify areas of our website that you have visited. A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser. We use cookies to enhance the performance and functionality of our app, but they are non-essential to its use. Without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable, or you may be required to enter login details every time you visit. Most web browsers can disable cookies, but doing so may prevent website functionality from working correctly. We never place personally identifiable information in cookies.

Wherever you are located, you may set your browser to block cookies and similar technologies. This action may block essential cookies and prevent our website from functioning properly, and you may not be able to fully use all features and services. You may also lose saved information such as login details or site preferences. Different browsers provide different controls. Disabling a cookie or category of cookie does not delete the cookie from your browser; you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

For any credit card or other payment processing details you provide, we commit that this confidential information will be handled in a secure manner. Ruminer may rely on third-party payment processors for subscription checkout, billing, and payment management.

We may change our Service and policies, and we may need to make changes to this Privacy Policy so they accurately reflect our Service and policies. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you, for example through our Service, before we make changes to this Privacy Policy and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect.

If you are from the European Economic Area, this section explains how and why data may be collected and how we maintain this data under protection from being replicated or used in the wrong way.

GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents' data is protected by companies and enhances the control EU residents have over their personal data. GDPR is relevant to globally operating companies, not only EU-based businesses. Customer data is important regardless of location, and we use GDPR controls as a baseline standard for privacy operations worldwide.

Personal data is any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person's name or email address and may include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.

• Personal data collected must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way and should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
• Personal data should only be collected to fulfill a specific purpose and should only be used for that purpose.
• Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfill its purpose.
• People covered by GDPR have the right to access their own personal data and can request that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.

GDPR adds requirements for how companies protect personal data they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance through enforcement and fines. Beyond these requirements, data privacy is the right thing to do, and Ruminer treats your privacy as important.

We are committed to helping customers meet data subject rights requirements under GDPR. Ruminer processes or stores personal data with vetted vendors where applicable. If your account is deleted, we dispose of related data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and will not retain it longer than necessary for legal, security, billing, or operational purposes.

If you work with EU customers, you may need the ability to access, update, retrieve, and remove personal data. Our support channel is available to answer questions about data access, portability, deletion, and related privacy requests.
