Consent

We will store your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to achieve the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of meeting any legal requirements, accounting requirements or internal reporting.

To determine the appropriate period of retention of personal data, we take into account the scope, nature and confidentiality of personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, and the purposes for which we process your personal data.

Thus, the information provided (received by us) for the purpose of providing services under the Agreement is stored for the duration of the Agreement concluded with you (at least for the duration of your account on our Service). We keep data collected for marketing mailings until you revoke your consent to such mailings being sent to you.

However, in certain cases due to legal reasons, we are obliged to keep your information longer than the above period, namely:

  • When we review and resolve incoming communications. For example, we generally retain correspondence relating to data subject requests sent in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation for one year, in case these requests are not resolved and this correspondence is needed to deal with any complaints that arise. In such cases, the correspondence is kept until such time as these complaints are resolved.
  • For purposes of responding to formal requests or complying with a provision of applicable law, if we have a statutory duty to retain information.
  • In connection with matters relating to legal or regulatory proceedings. In particular, if we are being investigated by a regulator or need to defend ourselves in a lawsuit related to your information, or respond to a regulator in connection with a complaint filed by you or another person.
  • In connection with issues related to the safety, integrity of our Service, as well as the protection of rights, property and users. For example, we store information if it is necessary to investigate the misuse of our Service. If we disable a user's account due to a violation of the Agreement, we also store information about this user for safety, integrity purposes.

Security measures in the processing of personal information

We use procedural and technological security measures that are reasonably designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure.   

However, data transmission over the Internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized parties will not be able to circumvent these measures. Also, in the case of service providers based outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), transmitted data may not be processed or protected in the manner set forth in this Privacy Policy. You should be aware that if your information is transferred to a country outside the EEA, that country may not have appropriate data protection laws or security measures in place.

However, when we transfer your personal information outside of the EEA, we strive to provide a similar degree of protection by implementing, for example, one of the following measures:

  • By transferring personal data to countries that, in the opinion of the European Commission, provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
  • When we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission that ensure the same level of personal data protection as in Europe.
  • Interact with service providers who participate in the Privacy Shield program, which requires them to provide similar protection for personal data transferred between Europe and the United States.

Please note the need for you to take preventive measures to protect your data, in particular against unauthorized access to your password, phone and computer, among other things, to log out of the Service after using a shared computer, choose a strong password that no one else knows or cannot easily guess.

Rights of the data subject

We want you to remain in control of your personal data. You can contact our support team at any time by e-mail (support@fanclaws.com) if you want to exercise the rights guaranteed to you.

In particular, according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data. This allows you to obtain a copy of your personal data that we hold and to make sure that we process it lawfully.

To assist us in processing your request, you will need to provide detailed information about the information requested. Please provide as much detail as possible about the information you wish to access and, if applicable, any dates relevant to the information requested.

  • Request confirmation as to whether your personal data is being processed.
  • Request a correction of your personal data that you think is inaccurate. This allows you to correct any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you.  You may exercise this right either by making your own corrections to your profile on the Service or by contacting us. Please note, however, that we may need to verify your identity and the accuracy of any new information you provide to us.
  • Request the deletion of your personal data in the following cases, (a) if we have no compelling reason to continue processing it, (b) if you have successfully exercised your right to object to the processing (see below), (c) if we may have processed your information illegally or when we are required to delete your personal data by local laws. Please note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for deletion for specific legal reasons of which you will be notified.
  • Object to the processing of your personal data . This includes the right to object to us processing your information for direct marketing purposes, as well as the right to object to us processing your information in cases where we are pursuing our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party. In evaluating objections, we will consider several factors, including: your reasonable expectations; the benefits and risks to you, us, other users or third parties; and the availability of other available means to achieve the same goal with less intrusive, non-disproportionate effort. Your objection will be granted and we will stop processing your information unless we have a compelling legal reason to do so or need to do so for legal reasons.
  • Request a restriction on the processing of your personal information in the following cases: (a) if you want us to establish the accuracy of the data; (b) if our use of the data is illegal but you do not want us to delete it; (c) when you need us to keep the data even if we no longer need it because you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you objected to our use of your data, but we need to see if we have a superior legitimate reason for using it.
  • Request a transfer of your personal data to you or a third party you designate. We will provide you or a third party of your choosing with your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Please note that this right only applies to automated information that you originally provided us with consent to use, or when we used that information to fulfill our Agreement with you.
  • Withdraw your consent to the processing of your data.  If the information you provide is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, which will not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent before it is withdrawn.

You also have the right to file a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority at any time. However, we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns prior to filing such an appeal, so please email us first at support@fanclaws.com.

Please note that we need to confirm your identity and request with the degree of certainty required by law before taking further action on your request.

All inquiries we receive regarding the exercise of personal data protection rights will be resolved as quickly as possible within 30 days of receiving your request. Sometimes it may take longer than 30 days if your request is particularly complex or if you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and will be sure to keep you informed.
