SECTION 2: USERS


This section describes what information is collected by Macro People from Users, and how that information is used by Macro People.


What information we collect from Users

When an account is set up for the User to access and use their pygrail.com Account, we collect and store certain pieces of Personal Data and other information, including:

  • Full name of the User 
  • Email address


We also collect and store the following information:

  • When and how the User uses the Website, including (but not limited to) activity data, location data, weblogs and other communication data, and the resources and functions of the pygrail.com Account that the User uses. 
  • Advertising and other data from different sources, including data from feeds which are integrated into the Website, as well as content and other data which is posted or otherwise provided by Users.  

We do not knowingly collect any Personal Data as part of these activities, but due to the automated nature of the operation of the pygrail.com Accounts we are unable to prevent the collection of any Personal Data uploaded by Users. 


Where and how we store your Personal Data

The information that we collect from you (including any Personal Data) may be transferred to, and stored at, various destinations, but only within the European Economic Area ("EEA").  It may also be processed by staff operating at various locations within the EEA who work for us or for one of our hosting, connectivity or telecommunications service providers.  By providing us with your information (including Personal Data), you agree to this transfer, storing and processing.  We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.


Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.  Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data (including the use of HTTPS protocol on the web application), we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our Website; any transmission is at your own risk.  Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.


How we use information collected from Users

We use information collected from Users to provide the functionality of the Website and the pygrail.com Account in accordance with the Terms of Use.  We also use the information:

  • To contact Users to help them with their use of their pygrail.com Account.
  • To communicate with Users on matters related to the Website or their pygrail.com Accounts.
  • To help us improve the Website and the pygrail.com Accounts.  Again, Users can not be identified from these activities.


Updating User information

Users can edit any of their information within their pygrail.com Account. It is the User’s responsibility:

  • To protect against unauthorised access to their pygrail.com Account and the Website.
  • To log-off from their pygrail.com Account when not using it.
  • To keep their log-in details secret.


What we share with third parties

We may disclose your Personal Data to our third party service providers (including without limitation our email management services provider) to help us provide the pygrail.com Account.


We may disclose your Personal Data to any member of our group of companies.


We may disclose your Personal Data to third parties:

  • In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your Personal Data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
  • If Macro People or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case Personal Data held by us will be one of the transferred assets.
  • If we are under a duty to disclose or share your Personal Data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce our contractual rights; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Macro People, our stakeholders, or others.  This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.


Except as set out above, we do not share your Personal Data with any third parties.
