Apify is committed to transparency in our processing of information. This is where we describe how we handle your personal data. “**Personal data**” is any information that is directly linked or can be linked to you. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy will have the meaning outlined in the [Apify General Terms and Conditions](../terms/general-terms-and-conditions.md).

## When the Privacy Policy applies
### When the Privacy Policy applies

Please note that this Privacy Policy applies where Apify is a “data controller” of your personal data. This includes when we collect information from and about visitors to our websites, prospective users and customers, and users of the Platform, collectively referred to herein as “**you**.”

## When the Privacy Policy does not apply
### When the Privacy Policy does not apply

You may collect and manage personal data when using Platform or other Services. In such a scenario, Apify is a “**data processor**", not a “**data controller**” (as defined by applicable privacy laws) of personal data that we process under your instructions and on your behalf. For clarity, this Privacy Policy does not apply to where Apify processes personal data as a data processor. Such processing activities are governed by a separately executed data processing agreement(s) between Apify and you. We are not responsible for your privacy or data security practices. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, consents, or other legal basis for processing such personal data and instructing us to process them on your behalf.

This Privacy Policy also does not apply to personal data about current and former Apify employees, job candidates, or contractors and agents acting in similar roles.

**PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL DATA. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.**

## Third-Party Links and Features

The Website and Platform may contain links to third-party websites and features (such as the share and/or "like" button or interactive mini-programs). These features may collect your IP address, and which page you are visiting on our sites and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. These features and widgets are hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these features. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy and other policies of the companies providing them. Those websites may have their own privacy policies or no privacy policies at all. Apify is not responsible for those websites, and we provide the links solely for your convenience.

## Children and Privacy

Our Website, Platform, and Services are not directed to children, and we will not request personal data from anyone who we know to be under the age of 18 unless we have obtained verifiable parental consent from a parent or legal guardian. If we become aware that a user under the age of 18 has registered with our Website, Platform, or Services, provided personal data, and Apify has not obtained prior verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian, we will immediately remove the user’s personal data from our files.

Apify uses aggregate information to provide its Services, determine the use of our Website (Platform), and monitor, audit, and analyze information pertaining to our business metrics.
We may use aggregate information to improve the Website and Services, to monitor traffic and general usage patterns, and for other general business purposes.

#### International Transfers of Personal Data

Due to the global nature of our operations, some of the recipients mentioned in Section 2 of the Notice may be located in countries outside the EEA, or the U.K., which do not provide an adequate level of data protection as defined by data protection laws in the EEA, and the U.K. Transfers to third parties located in such third countries take place using a valid data transfer mechanism, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the U.K. Addendum to such clauses, on the basis of permissible statutory derogations, or any other valid data transfer mechanism issued or approved by the EEA, or U.K. authorities. Certain third countries have been officially recognized by the EEA, and U.K. authorities as providing an adequate level of protection and no further safeguards are necessary. Please reach out to us using the contact information in Section “Contact Us” below, if you wish to receive further information about how we transfer personal data or, where available, a copy of the relevant data transfer mechanism.
