Article 6.1(b): performance of a contract

When you provide us with personal data through the available options in our Product, this may constitute a request to form or perform a contract between you and us. However, we may ask you for clear consent in case of doubt.

SHARING YOUR DATA WITH OTHER ENTITIES

We may share your personal data with other entities in accordance with the provisions specified hereafter.

Sharing data with data (sub-)processors

There are many features necessary to provide you with our services that we cannot complete ourselves; thus, we seek help from third parties. We may grant some service providers access to your personal data, in whole or in part, to provide the necessary services.

Therefore, we may share and disclose your personal data to other data processors, namely, to:

App Store (Apple Inc., USA): for processing in-app purchases and subscriptions. You may read its Privacy Policy here.

Google Play (Google LLC, USA): for processing in-app purchases and subscriptions. You may read its Privacy Policy here.

As part of our business operations, we may engage various specialists who may receive your personal data, including technical, sales, legal and marketing professionals, to provide you with better client service. Collectively, these specialists are referred to in this Policy as Contractors.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

We may transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) that are not deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection under Article 45 of GDPR (adequacy decision).

In such cases, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are implemented in accordance with the GDPR to protect your personal data, in particular, the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission. Where possible, we always enter into Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) with these third parties to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected.

We put supplementary technical and organisational measures in place when transferring data outside the EU and the EEA. e.g. prior assessment of the service supplier’s reliability and personal data protection practices, encryption of the transferred personal data, prompt reacting to any threats to confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal data, conducting transfer impact assessments (TIA) when necessary, etc.
