1. Commitment to Privacy
Sharks Mind is committed to regulating the collection, use, and dissemination of the personal information provided by its users and/or customers.
2. Personal Information
(1) Generally, “personal information” is any information that allows an individual to be identified, including their name, residential and/or business address, email address, information about products and services, and complaints.
(2) SharksMind only collects personally identifiable information when you intentionally and voluntarily offer it, such as when you subscribe to our website. Additionally, we may acquire personal information from our business partners and other third parties, provided that these third parties indicate that they have gained your authorization to transmit your personal information.
(3) The information in a public directory, such as your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, does not constitute personal information.
3. Collection and Use of Personal Data
(1) SharksMind collects and uses your personal information primarily to provide you with the products and services you have requested from us
(2) Your personal information is used to communicate with you about your account and to inform you about other services. If you indicated an interest in receiving offers or information from some sponsors or advertisers, your personal information would also be used to contact you or send you e-mails and other mailings about items and services that may interest you. You always have the option to instruct us not to share your personal information with third parties or to exclude you from receiving offers for other products or services.
(3) SharksMind may also contact you periodically to conduct market research and surveys to enhance our product and service offerings further.

(6) SharksMind will only request necessary information about you and will only do so when required. When we request information from you, we will explain why we need it and what we intend to do with it.
(7) We will obtain your consent before collecting, using, and disclosing your information, as applicable privacy laws require. You may deny permission to our collection, use, or disclosure of information about you, subject to legal and contractual limitations.
