In addition to the other rights or remedies available to us, we may (i) immediately, temporarily suspend Services where continued use of Services (a) breaches applicable legal requirements, (b) will have an adverse impact on our network or systems, or (c) we reasonably believe suspension is necessary to mitigate any damage or liability resulting from breach of this Acceptable Use Policy; and (ii) notify the appropriate law-enforcement agencies of any breach of this Acceptable Use Policy.

Under data protection laws, iProov is a processor of the personal data of users of the Services; the controller of that personal data (which determines the purpose and means of the processing of the user’s personal data) is the business, governmental or other entity that provides the user with its interface to the Services (whether discretely or in combination with another offering or service). This Acceptable Use Policy is intended to protect the controller and its users, as well as the Services.

We reserve the right to modify or replace this Acceptable Use Policy at any time and at our sole discretion. We will indicate at the top of this Acceptable Use Policy the date such document was last updated. Any changes to or new versions of this Acceptable Use Policy will be effective immediately upon posting the revised version on https://www.iproov.com/legal/acceptable-use-policy or a successor website.
