Your European Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of the European Union or the United Kingdom, you are entitled to certain information and have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) or the United Kingdom’s version of the GDPR (collectively, the “GDPR”). Those rights include:

The right of access to your information.
The right to rectify your information if it is incorrect or incomplete.
The right to have your information erased (“right to be forgotten”) if certain grounds are met.
The right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your information at any time (if our processing is based on consent).
The right to object to our processing of your information (if processing is based on legitimate interests).
The right to object to our processing of your information for direct marketing purposes.
The right to receive your information from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and the right to transmit your information to another controller without hindrance from us (data portability).

If you are located in the European Union or the United Kingdom and you are or have been a user of our 4DMT Website, we may send you marketing communications based on our legitimate interests, subject always to your right to opt out of such communications. Further, if you are located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, we will never share your information with a third party for such third party’s marketing purposes, unless you have specifically consented to us doing so.

You may contact us at privacy@4dmt.com to exercise any of the above rights. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity, and in some circumstances, we may charge a reasonable fee for access to your information.

Furthermore, if you believe that our processing of your information is inconsistent with your data protection rights under the GDPR and we have not adequately addressed your concerns, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority of your country.

For purposes of the GDPR, we are a “controller” and you are a “data subject.”

Visitors Outside the United States

4DMT is a U.S.-based company. If you are a non-U.S. resident and provide us with your personal information, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where the laws regarding processing of personal information may be less stringent than the laws in your country. By providing your information, you consent to such transfer and processing.

The 4DMT Website are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13 years of age. 4DMT does not knowingly collect personal information as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) in a manner that is not permitted by COPPA. If you are a parent or guardian and believe 4DMT has collected such information in a manner not permitted by COPPA, please contact us as at privacy@4dmt.com and we will remove such information to the extent required by COPPA.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the 4DMT Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the 4DMT Website.
