Cloud Nine Web 3 Technologies is building an ecosystem of products that leverage the interconnectivity of a peer-to-peer or decentralized infrastructure which is sometimes referred to as the ‘decentralized web’ or ‘Web 3.0’. Currently, only a relatively small number of corporations control a disproportionate amount of online functioning including control over personal data and online activities. It is our driving belief that in a decentralized ecosystem, content creators and users will have more power, control, and revenue channels at their disposal than ever before.
As a company, we strive to be at the forefront of this new interconnected era by establishing an environmental digital synergy which bridges the gap between user knowledge, online education, and emerging Web 3.0 blockchain technology.

Cloud Nine may further disclose personal information if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order legally requires or authorizes us to do so. We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that any third party to whom personal information is disclosed provides a comparable level of protection for your personal information, as provided in this Privacy Policy.
We also share some of your personal information with third parties in order to offer the Services to you, including:
Cloud Nine also reserves the right to aggregate and/or anonymize personal information (or other information) stored on its system and use such aggregated and/or anonymized personal information (or other information) as it sees fit, including for promotional presentations of our Services to possible partners, reviewers, advertisers, distributors and other third parties.
3. Consent
It is important to us that we collect, use or disclose your personal information only where we have your consent to do so or as provided in this Privacy Policy. Depending on the sensitivity of the personal information, your consent may be expressed, implied or deemed. Express consent can be given orally, electronically or in writing. Implied consent is consent that can reasonably be inferred from your action or inaction. For example, when you access the Services or use our Services, we will assume your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for purposes identified to you at the relevant time. Deemed consent is consent we assume in the event that you do not exercise an opt-out mechanism offered to you.
By submitting your personal information to us or otherwise creating a user account, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. To the extent that we are required by applicable laws to obtain your explicit consent for the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, such consent will be requested at the appropriate time. Further, if we plan to use or disclose your personal information for a purpose not previously identified (either in this Privacy Policy or separately), we will endeavor to advise you of that purpose before such use or disclosure. However, we may collect, use or disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required to do so by applicable law or regulatory requirements.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, by contacting our privacy officer using the contact information set out below. In some circumstances, a change or withdrawal of consent may limit our ability to provide Services to you or your ability to access certain areas of our Services.
We assume, unless you advise us otherwise, that by receiving a copy of this Privacy Policy or by continuing to deal with us, you have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as explained in this Privacy Policy.
4. Retention of personal information
We routinely destroy personal information that is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, in accordance with applicable laws. We will delete your personal information when it is no longer required to retain the personal information as set out in this Privacy Policy or when you request us to do in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
5. Accuracy of personal information
Cloud Nine takes reasonable steps to ensure that any personal information in our custody is accurate and up-to-date for the purposes for which the personal information is to be used by Cloud Nine.

6. How we Protect your personal information
Cloud Nine uses reasonable and appropriate physical, administrative and technical measures, including encryption methods, designed to help you secure your personal information against accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure. Only staff and service providers who have a legitimate business purpose for accessing the personal information collected by us are authorized to do so. Unauthorized use of personal information by anyone affiliated with Cloud Nine is prohibited and constitutes grounds for disciplinary action. Even though we take steps to protect your personal information, security breaches cannot be eliminated and we cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be disclosed or used contrary to this Privacy Policy.
You and you alone are responsible for ensuring that sufficient security software is installed and running on your device and that your network firewall is of sufficient quality and that your wireless connection is encrypted to a degree that will prevent third party access. Cloud Nine is not responsible for any failure by you to secure your own device and its access to the Internet or your use of public, unsecured networks. Cloud Nine also is not responsible for any failure by you to eliminate malware. These failures and others can make you vulnerable to privacy breaches and would put you and your data at risk.

Personal information we collect is stored and processed by us and our third party service providers primarily in Canada regardless of where you are located.
For Users located in the European Economic Area, we take steps to ensure that adequate protections and appropriate safeguards are in place for your personal information. This may include reliance on the adequacy status of the country’s data protection laws (in the case of personal information processed in Canada) or the incorporation of standard data protection clauses in our agreements with third parties.
