3. PUBLIC INFORMATION
The Internet's Richest is a public ranking. Information intentionally submitted for an entry, such as its name, message, ranking position, accumulated contribution total and promotional URL, may therefore be publicly visible.
Registered users should not submit personal information that they do not want to make public in fields intended for public display.
4. WHY WE USE YOUR DATA
We may process personal data in order to:
- Create and manage user accounts.
- Authenticate users and maintain secure sessions.
- Operate the public ranking and user profiles.
- Process and record contributions.
- Provide features such as contribution history, rankings and achievements.
- Understand how visitors use the website and improve the service where analytics consent has been provided.
- Measure advertising performance and conversions where consent to optional advertising measurement has been provided.
- Prevent abuse, fraud and unauthorized use of the service.
- Respond to support, privacy or legal requests.
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
5. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING
Depending on the circumstances, personal data may be processed because it is necessary to provide the service requested by the user, to comply with legal obligations, or because of legitimate interests such as protecting the platform against fraud, abuse and security threats.
Optional Google Analytics and optional X Pixel advertising measurement are activated on the website on the basis of the visitor's consent.
Where applicable law requires consent for other types of processing, consent will be requested as required.
6. PAYMENTS AND STRIPE
Payments on The Internet's Richest are processed using Stripe.
When you make a payment, payment and transaction information may be provided directly to Stripe and other entities involved in processing the transaction.
The Internet's Richest does not need to store your full payment card number in order to operate the ranking.
Stripe processes personal data according to its own privacy practices and may process information for payment processing, fraud prevention, security, dispute management and compliance purposes.

7. COOKIES, ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING MEASUREMENT
The website may use cookies or similar technical mechanisms that are necessary for essential functionality, such as maintaining a logged-in session and protecting the security of the service.
The Internet's Richest also uses Google Analytics as an optional analytics service to understand how visitors use the website.
Google Analytics may process information such as pages visited, interactions with the website, approximate location, device and browser information, and information about how a visitor reached the website.
The Internet's Richest also uses the X Pixel as an optional advertising measurement technology to help measure advertising performance and conversions associated with campaigns on X.
The X Pixel may process information relating to website visits, interactions, device or browser information, referral information and events associated with advertising measurement and conversions.
Google Analytics and the X Pixel are only activated by The Internet's Richest after the visitor selects ACCEPT in the consent banner.
If the visitor selects REJECT, Google Analytics and the X Pixel are not activated by The Internet's Richest for that browser while that preference remains stored.
The visitor's preference is stored locally in the browser so that the website can remember the selected choice.
More information is available in our Cookie Policy .

8. WHO MAY RECEIVE YOUR DATA?
Personal data is not sold by The Internet's Richest.
Data may be processed or disclosed when necessary to service providers involved in operating the website, including payment, analytics, advertising measurement and infrastructure providers, or when disclosure is required by law.
Where optional tracking consent has been provided, information associated with website analytics may be processed by Google and information associated with advertising measurement and conversions may be processed by X.
Payment information may be processed by Stripe, financial institutions, payment networks and other entities required to complete or protect a transaction.
9. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Some service providers, including providers used for analytics, advertising measurement or payment processing, may process information in countries other than the country in which you live.
Where applicable, international transfers of personal data will be handled using the safeguards required by applicable data protection law.
10. HOW LONG WE KEEP DATA
Personal data will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for any additional period required to comply with legal, accounting, security or dispute-resolution obligations.
Different categories of information may therefore have different retention periods.
11. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
Depending on the applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, portability or objection to certain processing.
Where processing is based on consent, you may also have the right to withdraw that consent.
To exercise a privacy right, contact:
contact@theinternetsrichest.com
We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
12. COMPLAINTS
If you believe that your personal data has been processed unlawfully, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.
In Spain, the supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD).

13. SECURITY
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.
