Notice to Users and Customers Outside of the United States

mCloud also respects individual rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”).

For personal information pertaining to residents in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, our legal bases for collecting and using your personal information include:

The performance of your contract or to enter into the contract and to take action on your requests. For example, the processing of your account registration, providing our services, events, and products to you, providing customer service to you.

Our legitimate business interests. For example, fraud prevention, maintaining the security of our network and services, direct marketing to you, and maintaining, analyzing, and improving our products and services.

Compliance with a mandatory legal obligation. For example, maintaining administrative records which are subject to mandatory retention periods. We may also collect your personal information to record your requests to exercise your rights and to verify your identity for such requests.

Consent you provide where we do not rely on another legal basis. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Any data that you provide to us may be accessed, shared or processed by our offices, located in the United States, and service providers located in the United States, if such data transfer is necessary for the specific purpose for which you submitted your data (such as the provision of goods or services under a written contract).

We maintain appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law for any personal information transferred internationally, including, where applicable, standard contractual clauses. For a copy of these clauses, please contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.

If you have any issues with our compliance, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to first address your concerns and would welcome you directing an inquiry first to us per the “Contact Us” section below.

Notice to California Residents

Under California law, California residents may request a list of categories of personal information that has been disclosed to third-parties for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year and the third-parties that were provided this information. Individuals may also request that their personal information be deleted.

Users, Customers, and Attendees may make such a request or direct any question to:

mCloud
Attn: Privacy Inquiries
580 California Street, 12th Floor
San Francisco, California 94104
Email: info@mcloudcorp.com

Direct marketing includes marketing directly to individuals by mail, phone, or e-mail for personal purposes. mCloud does not sell any personal information to third-parties for their own direct marketing purposes, but we recognize that some state privacy laws define “personal information” in such a way that some sharing of personal information necessary to provide you with personalized ads may be considered a “sale,” even if no money is exchanged.

How are Do Not Track Requests Handled?

Various browsers offer users an option known as a Do Not Track header that allows users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites. Each browser handles DNT trackers differently.

mCloud currently does not respond to Do Not Track requests because no DNT standard has been adopted and we cannot promise we will be able to receive or honor browser DNT signals.

mCloud’s online presence and services are not directed to children under the age of 16. mCloud does not knowingly request or collect personal data from any individual under 16 years of age. If an individual suspects a child under the age of 16 has submitted personal information to mCloud, please contact mCloud as follows:
