Privacy Policy

I. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII)

Ripe OS may gather two distinct categories of information: Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII). PII refers to data that can identify you as an individual, such as your name, address, phone number, email address, credit card details, billing address, and shipping information. Non-PII, on the other hand, includes aggregated data, demographic information, IP addresses, user behavior metrics from web analytics tools, and other details that do not directly reveal your identity. Both PII and Non-PII may be collected when you access or use any Ripe OS website. Additionally, Ripe OS may collect this information during in-person interactions, phone conversations, and electronic or written communications. Ripe OS also utilizes cookies to gather data; please note that disabling cookies may restrict your access to certain Ripe OS products, services, or websites.Ripe OS uses PII to address your inquiries, fulfill your service requests, inform you about services that may interest you, personalize your experience with Ripe OS, and for other related purposes. Ripe OS does not sell or lease your PII to third parties. However, Ripe OS may share PII with its affiliates and third-party service providers contracted to deliver services to you, such as financial institutions. PII may also be disclosed when required by law or when you explicitly authorize Ripe OS to do so. Ripe OS reserves the right to disclose and use your PII if it believes such action is necessary to: (a) comply with legal processes, such as a subpoena; (b) respond to requests from law enforcement agencies; (c) enforce its terms and conditions; or (d) protect the rights, privacy, safety, property, or operations of Ripe OS or third parties. Since Non-PII does not personally identify you, Ripe OS reserves the right to use and share Non-PII with third parties for any purpose. Ripe OS implements reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to protect PII from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Compliance with this Privacy Policy is ensured through self-assessment. Ripe OS reserves the right to modify this privacy notice at any time. Changes will take effect upon posting the revised notice on Ripe OS/privacy, emailing the updates to the address you provided, or as required by law.

II. Links to or From Other Websites

Unless expressly stated by Ripe OS, Ripe OS is not affiliated with or associated with operators of third-party websites that link to or from any Ripe OS website. Ripe OS disclaims responsibility for the accuracy or content of information on such third-party websites. Additionally, Ripe OS is not responsible for the security of any information, including credit card or personally identifiable information, that you provide to third parties. Ripe OS reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to block links to its websites through technological or other means without prior notice.
