As part of this service and based on your consent, we store and process additional information, whether you open push notifications, your type of end device, operating system, browser and, if applicable, other device settings that you use.

Please bear in mind that provisions of this Section do not apply to your pseudonymized Personal Data.

Access, modification, correction and erasure. You can send us an email indicated in Section 14 "How to contact us"  to request access to, modification, correction, update, erasure or deletion of any Personal Data that you have provided to us and that we have about you. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

EEA residents. Individuals residing in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) have certain statutory rights in relation to their Personal Data, such as introduced by the General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”). You can exercise them by contacting us (for contact information, please, see How to contact us Section).

a. Right to be informed under Article 13 and 14 EU GDPR: you have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your Personal Data;

b. Right to access under Article 15 EU GDPR: the right to obtain access to your information (if we’re processing it), and certain other information (like that provided in this Privacy Policy);

c. Right to rectification under Article 16 EU GDPR: if your Personal Data is inaccurate or incomplete you have the right to have your Personal Data rectified;

d. Right to erasure under Article 17 EU GDPR: this is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your information where there’s no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions. For example, we have the right to continue using your personal data if such use is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;

e. Right to restrict our use of your information under Article 18 EU GDPR: the right to suspend the usage of your Personal Data or limit the way in which we can use it. Please note that this right is limited in certain situations: When we are processing your Personal Data that we collected from you with your consent you can only request restriction on the basis of: (a) inaccuracy of data; (b) where our processing is unlawful and you don’t want your Personal Data to be erased; (c) you need it for a legal claim; or (d) if we no longer need to use the data for the purposes for which we hold it. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further;

f. Right to data portability under Article 20 EU GDPR: the right to request that we move, copy or transfer (where technically feasible) your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, for your own purposes across different services;

g. Right to withdraw consent under Article 7 (3) EU GDPR: if you have given your consent to anything we do with your Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your Personal Data with your consent up to that point is unlawful);

h. Notification requirements. We commit to notify you promptly and your data protection authority within the timeframe specified in applicable law (72 hours) about any Personal Data breaches in relation to you;

i. Notice about automated decision-making. We use automated decision-making tools (e.g. neural networks) that process your Personal Data in order to provide you better services through the Service;

j. Data Protection Authorities. Subject to the EU GDPR, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority about any of our activities that you deem are not compliant with the EU GDPR.

Please keep in mind that in case of a vague access, erasure, objection request or any other request in exercise of the mentioned rights we may engage you in a dialogue to better understand the motivation for the request and to locate responsive information. In case this is impossible, we reserve the right to refuse granting your request.

Following the provisions of the EU GDPR, we might also ask you to prove your identity (for example, by requesting an ID or other proof) in order for you to invoke the mentioned rights. This is made to ensure that no right of third parties is violated by your request, and the mentioned rights are exercised by an actual Personal Data subject or an authorized person.

Please note that we will grant your request within 30 days after receiving it, but it may take up to 90 days in some cases, for example for full erasure of your Personal Data stored in our backup systems – this is due to the size and complexity of the systems we use to store data.

Gurtam may transfer data for processing to sub-processors as described in Section 9.

What happens in the event of a change of control.

The buyer or transferee will have to honor the commitments we have made in this Privacy Policy.

Responding to legal requests and preventing harm.
