TEN Habitat, Inc. (collectively referred to herein as “TEN Habitat,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is committed to keeping any and all personal information collected of individuals that visit our website and make use of our online facilities and services confidential, secure and private. This Privacy Policy Agreement (“Policy”) describes how TEN Habitat collects, uses, and shares personal information of consumer users of our website located at www.tenhabitat.com (the “Site”) and online services (“Services”). This Policy also applies to any of our co-working applications. We encourage you to read this Policy and our Terms and Conditions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Who We Are. For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, TEN Habitat, Inc. is the controller of the personal data/information you provide to us (“Data Controller”). As a Data Controller, we process the personal information we maintain about you in accordance with this Policy.
Must-Read Sections. We draw your attention in particular to the sections entitled “Legal Basis for Processing,” “International Data Transfer,” and “Information Choices and Changes.”
Changes to This Policy. We reserve the right to update and/or change the terms of this Policy, and as such we will post those change to our Site homepage at www.tenhabitat.com, so that our users and/or visitors are always aware of the type of information we collect, how it will be used, and under what circumstances, if any, we may disclose such information. If at any point in time TEN Habitat decides to make use of any personally identifiable information on file, in a manner vastly different from that which was stated and consented to when this information was initially collected, the user or users shall be promptly notified by email. Users at that time shall have the option as to whether or not to permit the use of their information in this separate manner.
WHAT WE COLLECT
There’s a range of information we need to collect about you so that we can operate TEN Habitat. This information may include:
• Voluntary Information. We may collect your name, address, business information, birth date, email address, billing and/or credit card information, as well as other information you directly give us on TEN Habitat, which may be used when you purchase products and/or services and to deliver the Services you have requested. This site shall only collect personal information that you knowingly and willingly provide consent for by way of completed membership forms, surveys, purchases, and emails.
• Information Automatically Collected. We automatically log information about you and your device. For example, when visiting our Site, automatically collected information may include third party tracking technologies and server logs. We may also gather information about your computer hardware and/or software. Such collected information may include, but may not be limited to your IP address, browser type, domain name, access time and various website addresses.
• Cookies. We may log information using “cookies.” Cookies are small data files stored on your device by a website. We may use both session cookies (used to store data for the session) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on TEN Habitat. See below for the specific types of cookies we use and their respective purposes.
WHAT WE DO WITH THIS INFORMATION
We use the information we collect in the following ways:
• To assist in the operation of our Site and to ensure delivery of the Services you need and request.
• To maintain and improve our Services.
• To send you promotional communications. These may include emails to inform you of other possible products and/or services that may be available to you on the Site, surveys and/or research questionnaires related to your opinion of current or possible new services that are offered or may be offered, social notifications, or other newsletters depending on your settings. You may opt-out of receiving such information at any time: such marketing emails tell you how to “opt-out.”
• To send you administrative communications. These may include administrative emails, confirmations, technical notices, updates, and security alerts.
• To respond to your comments and questions and provide you with user support.
• To process payments you make via TEN Habitat.

• Our Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your personal information with our third-party service providers (i.e. third party processors) who provide services such as data analysis, payment processing, information technology and related infrastructure, email delivery, coworking software, and other similar services. We require that our third-party service providers use your personal information only to provide the services we’ve requested. These third party service providers may be located outside the European Union. TEN Habitat does not now, nor will it in the future, sell, rent, or lease any of its customer lists and/or names to any third parties.
• Corporate Restructuring. We may share personal information when we do a business deal, or negotiate a business deal, involving the sale or transfer of all or a part of our business or assets. These deals can include any merger, financing, acquisition, or bankruptcy transaction or proceeding.
• Other Disclosures. We may share personal information as we believe necessary or appropriate (a) to comply with applicable laws; (b) to comply with lawful requests and legal process, including to respond to requests from public and government authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; (c) to enforce our Policy; and (d) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of you or others.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
This section addresses the legal basis for processing your information if you reside outside Barbados (within Barbados, you typically provide consent when you receive notice of this Policy in a website link). Some processing is addressed in multiple sections because more than one legal basis may apply depending on the circumstances or service.
We collect and process your personal information for a variety of purposes outlined in this Policy. In certain cases, separate consent is not required, including:
• For Performance of a Contract. To perform our contractual obligations to you, including but not limited to fulfilling membership orders or purchases you have made (including processing of payment), contacting you in relation to any issues with your purchase and provision of the Services, where we need to provide your personal information to our service providers, where we need to collect personal information from third party sources and when you access third party products and services, where we collect data from third parties, or to aggregate and centralize data for the performance of the Services.
• To Meet Legal Obligations. To comply with laws, regulations, court orders, or other legal obligations or to assist in an investigation.
• For Legitimate Interests. To operate our business and provide the Services, other than in performing our contractual obligations to you for TEN Habitat’s “legitimate interests” for the purposes of applicable law – except where overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms that require protection of personal data.
• Consent As a Basis For Processing. In some cases, we will ask for your consent to process your personal information. You may indicate your consent in a number of ways, including, as permitted by law, ticking a box (or equivalent action) to indicate your consent when (i) providing us with your personal information through our Services or a form; or (ii) registering or creating an account with us.
ANONYMOUS DATA
When we use the term “anonymous data,” we’re referring to data and information that doesn’t permit you to be identified or identifiable, either alone or when combined with any other information available to a third party.
We may create anonymous data from the personal data we receive about you and other individuals whose personal data we collect. Anonymous data might include analytics information and information collected by us using cookies. We make personal data into anonymous data by excluding information, such as your name, that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We use this anonymous data to analyze usage patterns in order to make improvements to TEN Habitat.
INFORMATION THAT MAY BE VISIBLE TO OTHER USERS
If you have a member profile on the Site, then certain information may be visible to other TEN Habitat members, including your name, business information, personal bio, photo, membership location, and links to your professional and personal online sites. If you haven’t created a member profile, then we may have created one for you using the information you have previously provided, or information contained on your LinkedIn online profile, to facilitate interacting with features on the Site. You can control the information that is visible on the Site by adjusting the information and settings in your TEN Habitat Membership Profile under “My Account”. We urge you to be very careful when deciding to disclose your personal information, or any other information, on the Site.
Cobot. We use Cobot, a third party coworking software, to manage our coworking booking site and related mobile application. To learn more about the information collected by Cobot, please visit: https://www.cobot.me/en/privacy-policy.

We use several types of cookies on TEN Habitat:
• Essential/Required Cookies. These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Site. These enable the navigation and basic functionality of the Site.
• Functionality Cookies. These cookies are used to remember choices you make when you use the Site and Services. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience on TEN Habitat.
• Analytics and Performance Cookies. These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to TEN Habitat and how users use the Site. The information is aggregated and anonymous and does not identify any individual visitor. It includes the number of visitors to our site, the pages they visited, and other similar information. We use this information to help operate, maintain, and improve TEN Habitat.
• Social Media Cookies. These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button on the site or engage with our content on or through a social network such as Facebook or Twitter. The social network will record that you have done this.
You can typically remove and reject cookies from TEN Habitat with your browser settings. For step-by-step instructions, please check your browser’s help section. Here are links for popular browsers: Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. If you remove or reject our cookies, it could affect how TEN Habitat works for you.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We use Google Analytics, a service which collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. Google Analytics uses its own cookie to track visitor interactions. To learn more about the information collected by Google Analytics, please visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS
Currently, various internet browsers (including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari) offer a Do Not Track (DNT) option. This DNT option is usually accessed in your browser’s preferences or settings, and when enabled, sends a signal about your DNT preference to websites you visit with that browser. A DNT standard has not been adopted to this day. Therefore, while TEN Habitat takes privacy and security very seriously, we do not currently recognize or respond to DNT signals.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER
Your information, including personal data that we collect from you, may be transferred to, stored at and processed by us and other third parties outside the country in which you reside, including, but not limited to Barbados, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world. By using TEN Habitat, you agree to this transfer, storing, or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy.
We will only process your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws. We need certain personal information in order to provide you with access to TEN Habitat. If you do not agree to our use of your personal information in line with this Policy, please do not use TEN Habitat.

Subject to the next paragraph, we ask that you not send us, and you do not disclose, any sensitive personal data (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through TEN Habitat or otherwise to us. For example, do not send us or insert sensitive personal data in your TEN Habitat online membership profile or any other TEN Habitat application process, such as TEN Habitat’s “Coworking application processes.
