GDPR Privacy

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process Personal Data based on several legal grounds. These include: Consent, where you have agreed to the processing for specific purposes; Performance of a Contract, where the data is necessary to fulfill an agreement or pre-contractual obligations with you; Legal Obligations, where processing is needed to comply with applicable laws; Vital Interests, where it is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person; Public Interests, where it involves a task carried out in the public interest or in exercising official authority; and Legitimate Interests, where processing is needed to pursue our legitimate business interests. We are always available to clarify the legal basis that applies to your specific situation, especially regarding whether providing your data is a statutory, contractual, or contractual necessity.

Your Rights under the GDPR

We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring you can exercise your rights under the GDPR if you are within the EU. These rights include the ability to access, update, or delete your Personal Data through your account settings or by contacting us directly. You also have the right to request the correction of incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you, and to object to the processing of your data when we rely on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

You may also request the erasure of your Personal Data when there is no valid reason for us to continue processing it, or ask for the transfer of your data to yourself or a third party in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. This right applies only to data processed by automated means and initially provided based on your consent or in the context of a contract with us. Lastly, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, although this may affect your access to certain features of our Service.

Exercising Your GDPR Data Protection Rights

To exercise your rights to access, rectification, cancellation, or opposition, please contact us. We may need to verify your identity before responding to any requests to ensure your data is protected. We strive to respond to all legitimate requests promptly and transparently.
