IPmeetIP Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of IPv4 Superhub Limited (“IPmeetIP,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and describes why and how we collect and use personal data and provides information about individuals’ rights. It applies to personal data provided to us, both by individuals themselves or by others. We may use personal data provided to us for the purposes described in this privacy statement or as made clear before collecting personal data. Capitalised terms used but not defined here shall have the meanings given in the Terms of Service, unless otherwise specified.

This Privacy Policy describes how specific categories of customer personal data are collected, used and protected by IPmeetIP in connection with our Platform. Individuals located in the European Union or in the State of California, USA should be sure to read the important information addressed to their regions. Please be additionally informed that, IPmeetIP shall not further collect, sell (as defined in the CCPA), or use personal data except as necessary to perform the business purpose in the main agreement.

Please note that this Policy does not govern the collection and use of information by companies that IPmeetIP does not control, nor by individuals not employed or managed by us. If you visit a website that we mention or link to, be sure to review its privacy policy before providing the site with information. It is highly recommended and suggested that you review the privacy policies and statements of any website you choose to use or frequent to better understand the way in which websites garner, make use of and share the information collected.

This policy addresses the rights of individuals in the EU, US or elsewhere with regard to their personal information and the means and contacts needed to assure those rights.

Through the use of our Platform you are herein consenting to the following data procedures expressed within this agreement.


What personal data do we collect?

Processing of your data

You provide us with your personal data creating your account at Platform. The personal data you provide to us includes your first and last name, your email address, phone number, address, financial information for payments processing, your IP address, a unique identifier for your computer or other access devices, company information and alike. We maintain personal data as a result of your website usage, for example when you visit our website, login to your account or use our services. We also record and monitor communications with you for our internal compliance requirements.

Information for creating your account at Platform

  • Email address. As part of your registration we ask to provide an email address, which is necessary for establishing a Platform account, retrieving a lost password, and using our services.

Payment related information

  • Payment data. In order to use our Platform, you must submit valid credit card or other payment method information. Our payment processing partners process basic billing information for payment processing and refund requests. We also process some of the same payment information ourselves (e.g., card owner’s full name, last few digits of your credit card) in cases of recurring payments.

  • Country details. For VAT calculation purposes we may ask our users to provide the country where they are registered or have a permanent address.

Communication data

Personal information

References to “personal information” in this Privacy Policy are equivalent to “personal data” as defined by the European Union General Data Protection Regulation 2016/79 (“GDPR”), and any laws or regulations that amend, supplement, supersede, repeal or replace the GDPR or that are intended to ensure the continued application of the GDPR in the United Kingdom once it ceases to be a member state of the European Union (including the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, “UK Privacy Law”). We are the processor of your personal information for GDPR and UK Privacy Law purposes.

Legal bases for processing

We only use your personal information as permitted by law. We are required to inform you of the legal bases of our processing of your personal information which are based on one or more of the following:

  • Consent: The consent you provide to us when you share or submit your personal information with or to us.

  • Legitimate interest: Our “legitimate interest,” as defined by GDPR and UK Privacy Law, or the legitimate interest of a third party, including you. For example, we may use your data for fraud and security monitoring to ensure our networks and websites are secure, to administer and conduct our business with you, and to respond to your requests, inquiries and complaints.

  • Contract: Our performance of a contract, directly or indirectly, between us and you or your employer.

  • Legal Obligation: Our compliance with a legal obligation that we are or may be subject to.

  • to properly administer business communication with users;

  • to operate Platform and ensure its secure, reliable, and robust performance;

  • to receive knowledge of how Platform and applications are being used.

Term for storing personal data

We keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. The data might be kept longer if required for tax, accounting, payment processing purposes, to ensure we would be able to defend or raise a claim, or where we have a specific need – though we will generally not keep personal data for longer than two years following the last date of communication with you, unless the data is necessary in order to provide the service.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

We keep basic information about our customers for the duration of the agreement.

If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the applicable legal basis.
