We may also share it with our current and future affiliated companies and business partners, and if we are involved in a merger, asset sale, or other business reorganization, we may also share or transfer your personal and non-personal information to our successors in interest.
We may engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions and provide services to us, such as hosting and maintaining our servers and the platform, database storage and management, email management, storage marketing, credit card processing, customer service, and fulfilling orders for products and services you may purchase through the platform. We are likely to share your personal information, and possibly some non-personal information, with these third parties to enable them to perform these services for us and for you.
We may share portions of our log file data, including IP addresses, for analytics purposes with third parties such as web analytics partners, application developers, and advertising networks.

COULD MY INFORMATION BE TRANSFERRED TO OTHER COUNTRIES?
Machupicchu Global is incorporated in Peru. Information collected through our website, through direct interactions with you, or from the use of our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located worldwide, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have general laws regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the cross-border transfer and hosting of such information.
IS THE INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH THE MACHUPICCHU GLOBAL SERVICE SECURE?
We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and administrative procedures in place to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are infallible, including encryption systems. Additionally, people may intentionally commit crimes, make mistakes, or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we make all reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-waivable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.
CAN I UPDATE OR CORRECT MY INFORMATION?
The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information Machupicchu Global collects depend on your relationship with Machupicchu Global. Personnel may update or correct their information as detailed in our internal company employment policies. Clients have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information as follows. You may contact us to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences regarding communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information held about you in our system (subject to the following paragraph), by canceling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes, and deletions will have no effect on other information we maintain or information we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change, or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your profile or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times. You should be aware that it is technologically impossible to remove every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a form that cannot be erased and that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal information stored in the databases we actively use and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed, or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically possible. If you are an end user and wish to update, delete, or receive any information we have about you, you may do so by contacting the organization of which you are a client.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order, enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information supplied is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and they must keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, finances, etc.) is never kept on file. However, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of the information you transmit to Machupicchu Global or guarantee that your information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)
We may collect and use information about you if you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), and in this section of our Privacy Policy, we will explain exactly how and why this data is collected, and how we keep it protected against replication or misuse.
WHAT IS GDPR?
GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how companies protect EU residents’ data and enhances the control EU residents have over their personal data.
WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?
Any data that relates to an identifiable or identifiable individual. The GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own or in combination with other pieces of information to identify a person. Personal data goes beyond a person’s name or email address. Examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.
Data protection principles include requirements such as:
- Personal data collected must be processed fairly, lawfully, and transparently and should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
- Personal data should only be collected to fulfill a specific purpose and should only be used for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need the personal data when they collect it.
- Personal data should not be kept longer than necessary to fulfill its purpose.
Individuals covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They can also request a copy of their data, and that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.
WHY IS GDPR IMPORTANT?
GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies must protect the personal data of the individuals they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing larger fines for non-compliance. Beyond these facts, it is simply the right thing to do. At Machupicchu Global, we firmly believe that your data privacy is very important and we already have robust security and privacy practices that go beyond the requirements of this new regulation.
INDIVIDUAL DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS: ACCESS, PORTABILITY, AND DELETION OF DATA
We are committed to helping our clients comply with the data subject rights requirements of the GDPR. Machupicchu Global processes or stores all personal data in DPA-compliant providers that have been thoroughly vetted. We store all conversations and personal data for up to 6 years, unless your account is deleted. In which case, we delete all data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not keep it for more than 60 days.
We are aware that if you work with EU clients, you need to be able to provide them with the ability to access, update, retrieve, and delete personal data. We have been set up as self-service from the start and have always given you access to your data and your clients’ data. Our customer service team is here to answer any questions you may have about working with the API.
