  We, at Superluminal, respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. 

   

  We believe that you have a right to know our practices regarding the data we may collect and use about you when you use our service. 

   

  Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and regarding how we treat it.

   

  In summary, when using the service, we may collect some personal data, all in order to provide you with the services and to improve it. We may also send you out questionnaires to improve the services; you are not obligated to answer those questionnaires.  

   

  We may use third party services to run the service; they have access to some of your personal data under a confidentiality obligation. 

   

  We use industry standard practices to ensure that your data is kept secure, and we allow you to exercise your personal data rights granted under the GDPR even if you live outside the EU.

   

  As an Israeli entity, we are GDPR compliant. You may exercise your legal rights under the GDPR even if you are not a European national; meaning you have the right to review all data relating to you, amend it if it is inaccurate, request that we stop processing it, request that we delete it, and seek remedies for any breach.

   

  Also, we never sell your data or use it for direct marketing purposes.

   

  And now for the full legal text:

   

  About this Privacy Policy

  This privacy policy was set up to let you know what personal data is collected. When we say Personal Data we mean personal data as defined in the GDPR, which is the EU Directive for data protection. While we are not based in the EU, we decided to grant all our users the best protections available under law, which provide them equal rights to the persons residing in the EU, even if they are not residents of the EU. Also, we’ve done our best to adhere to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, and therefore we do not sell your data; and we give you Californian rights even if you do not reside in California.

   

  Who Are We?

  Superluminal LTD is the legal entity operating the service. It is located at 20 Amos St., Tel-Aviv.

  We can only collect personal data when you are connected to the internet. If you do not want us to collect personal data, please use the software and services on a machine which is not connected.

   

  You have the right to withdraw from this consent at any time, and in such case request that we either cease processing your personal data, or that we delete whatever personal data is no longer required to retain under law. However, in such a case we will need to terminate your license.

This includes your product ID and version, your license status, your approximate geolocation, your host data (software that you use), your host version, whether it is a full version or just a rendering node, and the number of nodes.

   

  Technical Data that might be de-anonymized. Technical information is also collected. This includes your operating system type and version, your CPU type, speed and the number of processors, your RAM size, electricity consumption and list of GPUs.  While it is not specifically personally identifiable, it may be reverse-engineered to be identifiable and therefore is considered personal data.

   

  Usage Data. Usage data that may include your search queries performed in the Superluminal preset browser and the presets used, and your activities on the services and additional information of a similar nature. This data is not stored in a manner that relates to your user ID or other identifier, but is attached to a random identifier that is reset at every run of the service. 

   

  Personally Identifiable Data. The other type of data we collect is individually identifiable data. To put it simply, this data identifies an individual or is of a private and/or sensitive nature, such as your contact information, including: (i) Personal Data that is provided by you voluntarily, such as your username, email address and other data you filled when signing up or when answering our questionnaires; and (ii) Personal Data we learn from your use of the services; including your IP address, your hashed computer ID and MAC, your license number and type.
