Grounds for Processing

We promise that we use the personal data we’ve obtained from you or on your behalf in a way that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms.

Despite this, we must comply with the GDPR requirements for the legal grounds for processing. The GDPR allows us to collect and process your personal data on the grounds as follows:

The processing is necessary to provide you with the Services and features available through our Site

To achieve this purpose, we may need Your account setup information (such as name, business email, and cell phone number), the data about your device, data obtained through the live chat, and from other free access sources.

  • ways we process your personal data in;
  • our ability to keep the confidentiality of your data and avoid their disclosure;
  • duration of the planned retention, etc.

Where the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of individuals or public policy, we cannot refuse to provide the copies of your personal data we have collected or may have access to within the functionality of the Site to the authorities and enforcement agencies in case of receipt of their legitimate decision or demand to do so.

Also, we may be obliged to provide the aggregated information to the state statistics bodies or to state historical archives.

The processing is necessary to secure our or third parties legitimate interests

Also, we will report to the police or other competent enforcement agencies in case we discover fraud, threats to other users, or any other violations of the applicable law or suspicious behavior or actions committed on behalf of your account.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Third-Party Integration Partners

We may grant access to your personal data, in full or in part, to our integration partners such as CRM-system which serves as a place of storing your information to enable us to maintain your customer account.

State authorities, enforcement agencies, courts

We may be legally obliged to disclose your personal data to the competent state authority, enforcement agency, or a court in case we receive a mandatory request for such disclosure from them.

Your consent

We will notify you of the purposes and scope of the disclosure and ask for your permission in case your personal data is to be shared with a third party not mentioned in this Policy.

Please remember that we do not charge any fees in relation to exercising your rights protected by the GDPR. We typically do our best to answer you as soon as possible or within a reasonable period taking into account the complexity of the request, but in case we are processing a large number of requests the answer may take us longer than you might expect.
