We want to send you emails and other communications according to you preferences or that display content that we think will interest you. This means, as permitted by applicable law, we may use Your Data for marketing purposes, such as informing you about our products and services that could be useful, relevant, valuable, or otherwise of interest to you.

Where required under applicable law, we will obtain your prior opt-in consent to send you electronic marketing communications. For information on how to opt-out of such electronic marketing communications, please see Section V.2 (“Marketing Communications”) below.

We may collect information about your online activities on our Services to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your individual interests. We also may obtain information for this purpose from External Sites on which our advertisements are served.

You may see certain advertisements on External Sites because we work with advertising partners (including advertising networks) to engage in remarketing and retargeting activities. Our advertising partners allow us to target our messaging to users through demographic, interest-based and contextual means. These partners track your online activities over time and across websites and online services, including our Services, by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of Cookies and other tracking technologies. They use this information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information our advertising partners may collect includes data about your visits to External Sites that participate in the relevant advertising networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the External Sites. This data collection takes place both on our Services, including our Websites and online services, and on External Sites that participate in the advertisement networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. For example, we utilize certain of our advertising partners’ targeted advertising services to show you our advertisements on External Sites based on your prior visits to our Website and Services and other online activity.

Provided that a company participates in industry-developed programs designed to provide consumers choices about whether to receive targeted advertising, you may opt out of interest-based advertising generally through the Network Advertising Initiative website or by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (web-based advertising) or http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices (for mobile advertising). To learn more, please visit the websites operated by the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance at www.networkadvertising.org/choices. Opting-out does not mean that you will stop receiving advertisements from us. It means that you still stop receiving advertisements from us that have been targeted to you based on your visits and browsing activity across websites and online services over time.

Please note that we do not disclose Your Data to third parties for such third parties' direct marketing purposes.

5. Developers

If you are an end user of our Services and are accessing our Services through a third-party mobile application or online service, we may disclose Your Data to the developers of such mobile application or online service that integrates our Services so that you may complete your transaction on such mobile application or online service.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

Typically, accounts associated with an email address will require verification of the email address, as well as a description of the requested user rights or regulations invoked. Magic also values those who are not covered by specific regulations, and offers to extend a good will effort towards requests originating from other jurisdictions.

ii) How you will hear back from us

We will confirm receipt of a verifiable consumer request within ten (10) business days of its receipt. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will notify you of the extension and provide an explanation of the reason for the extension in writing, and we will provide you with a response no later than ninety (90) calendar days of receipt of the request. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Data that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We may charge a reasonable fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer requests if they are excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will inform you of the reasons for this decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

h. Right to Designate an Authorized Agent

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf by providing the agent with signed written permission to do so.

Addendum II -- Privacy Notice to European Residents

Effective as of: October 1, 2024

If you are a resident of the European Union ("EU"), United Kingdom, Lichtenstein, Norway, Iceland, or Switzerland, you may have additional rights under European Data Protection Laws with respect to your Personal Data, as outlined in this Privacy Notice to European Residents (the "European Addendum").

For this European Addendum, we use the terms "Personal Data" and "processing" as they are defined under European Data Protection Laws, but "Personal Data" generally means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, and "processing" generally refers to any operation or set of operations which is performed on Personal Data or on sets of Personal Data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Magic will usually be the controller of your Personal Data processed in connection with the Services. Note that we may also process Personal Data of our customers' end users or employees in connection with our provision of certain services to customers, in which case we may be the processor of Personal Data. If we are the processor of your Personal Data (i.e., not the controller), please contact the controller party in the first instance to address your rights with respect to such data.

Where applicable, this European Addendum is intended to supplement, and not replace, our Privacy Policy. If there are any conflicts between this European Addendum and the other parts of the Privacy Policy, and you are a resident of the EU, United Kingdom, Lichtenstein, Norway, Iceland, or Switzerland, the provision that is more protective of Personal Data shall control to the extent of such conflict. If you have any questions about this section or whether any of the following rights apply to you, please contact us at privacy@magic.link.

We will only process your Personal Data if we have a lawful basis for doing so. Under European Data Protection Laws, the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:

In some cases, we process Personal Data based on the consent you expressly grant to us at the time we collect such data. When we process Personal Data based on your consent, it will be expressly indicated to you at the point and time of collection. You can remove your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting us via email at privacy@magic.link with the subject line "European Data Protection Request." Please note that a withdrawal of consent will not affect processing that has been completed during the time in which the consent was valid.

b) We Have a Contractual Obligation

We process certain categories of Personal Data as a matter of "contractual necessity", meaning that we need to process the data to perform under our agreements with you, including but not limited to our Terms of Use, which enables us to provide you with the Services.

3. How we Share Your Personal Data

Section I ("Personal Data We Collect and Share") and Section IV ("Why we Collect, Use and Share Your Data") of the Privacy Policy explain how we share your Personal Data with third parties.

4. How we Store and Protect Your Personal Data

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your Personal Data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, for which we take into account the nature of the Personal Data, its processing, and the threats posed to it. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be secure at all times. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us via email at privacy@magic.link.

We retain your Personal Data for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes for which we obtained it, as further described in this Privacy Policy. We will also keep your Personal Data for as long as allowed or required by law.

5. Your Data Protection Rights

You have certain rights with respect to your Personal Data, including those set forth below. For more information about these rights, or to submit a request, please email us at privacy@magic.link. You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights. If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. Please note that in some circumstances, we may not be able to fully comply with your request, such as if it is frivolous or extremely impractical, if it jeopardizes the rights of others, or if it is not required by law, but in those circumstances, we will still respond to notify you of such a decision. In some cases, we may also need you to provide us with additional information, which may include Personal Data, if necessary to verify your identity and the nature of your request.

  • Right of access: You can request more information about the Personal Data we process about you and request a copy of such Personal Data. Users of Magic's dashboard can also access certain of your Personal Data by logging on to your account.
  • Right to rectification: If you believe that any Personal Data we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that we correct or supplement such data. Users of Magic's dashboard can also correct some of this information (for example, email address) directly by logging on to your account.
  • Right to erasure: You can request that we erase some or all of your Personal Data from our systems under certain circumstances.
  • Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your Personal Data under certain circumstances.
  • Right to object to processing: You have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data, which is based on public interest or our legitimate interests, including the profiling of data. In this case, we will stop processing your data, except for where we have compelling legal grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the exercise or defense of possible legal claims. You also have a right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You may object at any time to processing of your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes by clicking "Unsubscribe" within an automated marketing email or by submitting your request to privacy@magic.link with the subject line "European Data Protection Request." In such case, your Personal Data will no longer be used for that purpose.
  • Right to data portability: You can ask for a copy of your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You can also request that we transmit the data to another controller where technically feasible without hindrance from us.
  • Right to withdraw consent: If we are processing your Personal Data based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note, however, that if you exercise this right, you may have to then provide express consent on a case-by-case basis for the use or disclosure of certain of your Personal Data, if such use or disclosure is necessary to enable you to utilize some or all of our Services.

6. How to Complain

If you have any concerns about our use of your Personal Data, you can make a complaint to us at privacy@magic.link with the subject line "European Data Protection Request."

7. Transfers of Personal Data

The Services are hosted and operated in the United States ("U.S.") through Magic and its service providers, and if you do not reside in the U.S., laws in the U.S. may differ from the laws where you reside. By using the Services, you acknowledge that any Personal Data about you, regardless of whether provided by you or obtained from a third party, is being provided to Magic in the U.S. and will be hosted on U.S. servers, and you authorize Magic to transfer, store and process your information to and in the U.S., and possibly other countries. In these cases, we transfer your Personal Data through the use of appropriate safeguards as required by European Data Protection Laws..

8. Updates to this European Addendum

If, in the future, we intend to process your Personal Data for a purpose other than that which it was collected, we will provide you with information on that purpose and any other relevant information at a reasonable time prior to such processing. After such time, the relevant information relating to such processing activity will be revised or added appropriately within this European Addendum, and the "Effective Date" at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.
