Data Types Collected

First name, email address, use data, and trackers are some examples of the categories of Personal Data that this Application may gather independently or with the assistance of third parties.

Each type of Personal Data collected is fully described in the sections of this privacy statement or by a particular explanation text presented before the Data collection.

When using this Application, personal data may be voluntarily submitted by the User or automatically gathered in the case of use data.

Unless otherwise stated, any Data sought by this Application must be provided; otherwise, this Application may be unable to deliver its services. Users are free not to transmit this data if this Application specifies that some Data is not required, and there will be no impact on the Service’s availability or functionality.

Users are invited to contact the owner if they have any questions concerning which Personal Data is required.

In addition to any other purposes mentioned in this document and in the Cookie Policy, if one is available, any use of Cookies or other tracking tools by this Application or by the owners of third-party services used by this Application serves the purpose of providing the Service required by the User.

Users affirm that they have the permission of the third party to supply the owner with any third-party Personal Data they receive, publish, or distribute using this Application. Users are responsible for any third-party Personal Data.

Mode and location of Data Processing

Techniques for processing

The owner implements the necessary security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or unlawful destruction of the data.

Utilizing computers and/or IT-enabled instruments, the data processing is completed in a manner directly tied to the stated purposes. In some circumstances, in addition to the owner, the Data may be accessible to specific types of responsible parties engaged in the operation of this Application (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as mail carriers, hosting companies, IT firms, communications agencies, and third-party technical service providers) designated, as necessary, as Data Processors by the owner. You can ask the owner for the most recent list of these parties at any time.

The logic behind the processing

If one of the following situations occurs, the owner may process the Users’ data:

Users have granted permission for a single or several particular objectives. Note: In accordance with various laws, the owner may be permitted to handle Personal Data until the User objects to it (“opt-out”), without relying on permission or any of the following legal basis. However, when the processing of Personal Data is covered by European data protection legislation, this does not apply;

Data must be provided for an agreement with the User to be fulfilled, as well as any pre-contractual requirements;

Processing is required to fulfill a legal duty the owner is bound by;

Processing is connected to a work carried out in the public interest or during the course of the owner’s official authority;

Processing is required to further the owner’s or another party’s legal interests.

In any situation, the owner will be happy to assist in determining the precise legal basis that applies to the processing, including whether providing Personal Data is required by law, contract, or to enter into a contract.

Place

The owner’s operational offices and other locations where the parties participating in the processing are based are where the data is processed.

Data transfers could require sending the User’s Data to a nation other than their own, depending on the User’s location. Users can check the section containing information about the processing of Personal Data to learn more about the processing location for such transmitted data.

Users are also entitled to know the legal basis for Data transfers to nations outside the European Union, to any international organization governed by public international law or established by two or more countries, such as the UN, and about the security precautions the owner has taken to protect their data, if broader protection standards are applicable.

Users can learn more about such transfers by reading the pertinent portions of this agreement or contacting the owner using the contact details given in the contact section.

Retaining period

For as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes they were gathered, personal data must be handled and maintained.

Therefore:

Personal information gathered in connection with the fulfillment of a contract between the owner, and the User must be kept on file until the completion of that contract.

Personal data obtained for the owner’s legitimate interests will be kept for as long as is required to achieve those goals. Users can obtain detailed details about the owner’s legal pursuits in the pertinent areas of this document or by getting in touch with the owner.

When the User has granted an agreement to process Personal Data and has not withdrawn that consent, the owner may be permitted to keep the Personal Data for a longer time. Additionally, where necessary, to fulfill a legal requirement or per an authority’s directive, the owner may be forced to keep Personal Data on file for longer.

The deletion of Personal Data is required when the retention term has passed. Because of this, the rights to access, deletion, correction, and data portability cannot be enforced when the retention time has passed.

The objectives of the processing

The information pertaining to the User is gathered to enable the owner to

  • deliver the Service;
  • carry out its obligations under law;
  • respond to subpoenas from law enforcement;
  • safeguard its rights and interests and those of its users and third parties;
  • identify any suspicious or fraudulent activity; and
  • do the following.

Types of personal data that are gathered, shared or sold.

Here, we list the kinds of Personal data we’ve gathered, shared, or sold along with their respective uses. The part of this paper labeled “Detailed information on the processing of Personal Data” contains a detailed description of these operations.

Information we gather is the kind of Personal Data we collect.

Identifiers and internet information are two types of personal data we have gathered about you.

Without informing you, we won’t gather any new types of personal data.

How do we get information? Where do we get the Personal data we have?

When you use our Application, we may get the aforementioned types of personal information directly or indirectly from you.

For instance, when you submit requests using any of the forms on this Application, you immediately supply your personal information. While using this Application, you may indirectly provide personal information because it is automatically seen and gathered. Finally, we may get your personal information from third parties collaborating with us for the Service or this Application’s features to operate.

Sharing and exchanging your personal information with third parties for commercial purposes is one way we use the data we gather.

We could provide third-party access to the Personal data we have on you if it’s necessary for our business operations. In this instance, we engage in a formal contract with the third party, which obligates the receiver to maintain the privacy of the personal information and to use it only as required to carry out the terms of the contract.

To serve you with our Service, we may also release your personal information to third parties if you request or permit us to do so.

Please see the appropriate part of this paper for further information on the processing goals.

Sale of your personal information

The term “sale” refers to any “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to another business or a third party, for monetary or other valuable consideration.”

This implies that a sale may occur, for instance, if a program displays advertisements, analyzes the traffic or page views, or even uses tools like social network plugins and similar items.

Your right to refuse to let your personal information be sold

You have the choice not to allow your personal information to be sold. This means that anytime you ask us to cease selling your information, we will comply.

In these circumstances, processing your data will be tightly constrained to compatible operational needs and will be required and reasonable to the business purpose for which it was gathered.

As stated in the section of this document titled “Detailed Information on the Processing of Personal Data,” we may also use your personal information for business purposes, as well as to comply with the law and defend our rights in front of the appropriate authorities in cases where our rights and interests are at risk, or we suffer harm.

Your consent is required before we use your personal information for additional, irrelevant, or incompatible purposes.

Your rights to privacy in California and how to exercise them

The types of personal information that each type of buyer has acquired for sales; and

The types of personal data acquired by each kind of recipient for disclosures made for commercial purposes.

The above-described disclosure will only apply to personal data gathered or utilized during the last 12 months.

If we provide you our response electronically, the material within will be “portable” or transmitted in a way that makes it simple for you to send it to another party without difficulty – assuming it’s technically possible.
