6.2. Your Privacy Rights

In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you. Please note, that we do not use automated decision-making and profiling.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
1. if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
2. where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it;
3. where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
4. you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party (commonly known as a “right to data portability”). We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in case you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you is an infringement of the applicable laws.
Receive compensation in case you have suffered material or non-material damage as a result of an infringement of the applicable laws by the entities and individuals processing your personal data.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

6.3. How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us as set forth in Section 16 (Contact Us) below. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable laws and provide information on actions taken on your request within one (1) month following the receipt of your request. The general response period may be extended by two (2) additional months if unboring is overwhelmed by the number of user requests, or the request is complicated and requires additional resources on our side. We will inform you of such an extension within one (1) month following the receipt of the request specifying reasonably detailed reasons for such delay.

7. Security Of Your Information

We take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice by implementing and regularly updating our organisational and technical security measures to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification. Unfortunately, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept liability for unauthorized disclosure.

By using our Services or providing personal information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of our Services. If we learn of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a respective notice on our Platform, your account, by email or via any other appropriate notification method.

8. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to our group companies that are located outside the EEA and/or to third-party service providers which unboring engages in other regions (including without limitation Ukraine and the USA), which may have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live.

If you are from the EEA, it is important for you to know that the transfer of your data to the recipients in third countries under the GDPR is secured either by the participation of the contractors from these countries on the basis of a data processing agreement with implemented standard contractual clauses for data transfers between EEA and non-EEA countries adopted by the European Commission and only after the performance of the transfer impact assessment of such third country’s legislation; or another basis compliant with the EEA data protection laws, including your explicit consent. By using our Services, you agree to such transfer and processing within the purposes set in this Privacy Notice.

In all cases we pass the information to other persons, we ensure that your information is being protected and used only within the purposes specified in this Privacy Notice. This is achieved by using only certified services and products, signing data processing agreements and non-disclosure agreements with contractors, as well as taking technical measures to ensure the information is protected when stored, used and while being transferred.

You also have to be aware of the fact that unboring may disclose your personal information to enforce and comply with the law. In other words, we may disclose to officials the information necessary for the investigation or legal process on official request or the official bodies acting within their powers.

Please contact us via any available means if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us for international transfers of your personal data.

9. Retention Of Personal Information

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may store biometric data for three (3) years.

Personal information which you provide us with during the Platform usage (namely, photos, pictures. videos or GIFs you share us with) and your generated content will be shown in your personal account on the Platform and stored on Google Cloud Storage servers during the period you have a valid and activated plan for our Services (for example, for one (1) month if you have purchased a monthly subscription) unless you delete such data manually using the Platform functionality, or via “Request user data removal” button on the Platform. We will also delete your data in case you suspend using our Services, namely do not renew your plan or delete your account on the Platform upon request.

Please note that you also may also request us to delete your personal data by sending us an email at [email protected] by contacting us via any other available means.
