What About Links to Third Party Sites?
For your convenience, our website might contain links to third party websites (e.g., Twitter) whose information practices might be different from ours and which are governed by their own privacy procedures, policies, and security measures.

How Can You Change or Remove Your Information?
We want to be sure that the contact details and other information you provide to us are as up to date as possible, and we hope you will help us in that effort.

If you wish to unsubscribe to any of our newsletters, bulletins, or other online services, wish to remove your contact details from our lists, or request that we delete your personal information, you can do so by sending an email to support@moniwar.com . Please help us by being as specific as possible about the types of communications, publications, or other information that you no longer wish to receive.

It might take up to ten business days for us to process any change, unsubscribe or delete requests. It is possible that you will receive another email communication during the change period.

What are Your Rights in European Economic Area?
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, the “GDPR”) give you certain additional rights. If the personal information we collect from you indicates that you are in the EU, we will maintain and process your personal information in accordance with the GDPR. However, some of your information, including personal information collected through our website, likely will be transferred and will be maintained, at least for some period of time, in our data centers in the United States, whose privacy and data protection laws are, generally speaking, not as robust as the laws in the European Union. We make those transfers under intrafirm agreements that contain clauses consistent with those mandated by the GDPR. While that data are located in the United States, the Firm will endeavor to provide a level of data protection level equal to that which it provides in the EU.

If you do not wish to have your personal information made available to Firm personnel outside your home jurisdiction, please do not provide it to us via this website.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your access or deletion request rights, please submit a verifiable consumer request to support@moniwar.com.

We will contact you to confirm receipt of your request under the CCPA and request any additional information necessary to verify your request. We verify requests by matching information provided in connection with your request to information contained in our records. Depending on the sensitivity of the request and the varying levels of risk in responding to such requests (for example, the risk of responding to fraudulent or malicious requests), we may request that you use your access credentials in order to verify your request. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf, provided that you provide a signed agreement verifying such authorized agent’s authority to make requests on your behalf, and we may verify such authorized person’s identity using the procedures above.

The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We will not be able to respond to your request or provide you with specific pieces of personal information if we cannot verify your identity and authority to make the request.
Our goal is to respond to any verifiable consumer request within 45 days of our receipt of such request. We will inform you in writing if we cannot meet that timeline. Please contact us at support@moniwar.com with any questions about this Privacy Notice.
