We explain these categories of data here.

We also collect, use, and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Services feature. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data) or information about your criminal convictions and offences. We do not require this information and it is for you to decide whether you want to share such information in the contents you create/generate through the Services and share with others. This information is subject to special protections under EU law.

3. HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED

We also log when you are using and have last used our Services, and the particular content you access or use.

When you consent to providing us with your personal data, we will also ask you for your consent to share your personal data when required with the third parties set out below and for the purposes set out in the table Purposes for which we will use your personal data:
‍

• External Third Parties as set out in the GLOSSARY.

If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
  

6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Many of our External Third Parties and service providers are based in Ireland but sometimes we will need to store and process your personal data outside of Ireland and the European Union.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the European Union, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
‍

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data. 
  
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in the European Union. 
  

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of Ireland.

7. DATA SECURITY

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions carried out by us or our chosen third-party provider of payment processing services will be encrypted using appropriate encryption technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of the Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict and appropriate procedures and security features to try to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way.

Certain Services include social networking features. Ensure when using these features that you do not submit any personal data that you do not want to be seen, collected, or used by other users.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are legally required to do so.

8. DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

In the event that you do not use the Services for a period of 12 months then we will treat the account as expired and your personal data may be deleted.

9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. 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.
  
• 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. 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. 
  
• 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. 
  

You also have the right to ask us not to continue to process your personal data for marketing purposes. 

You can exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting us at support@volograms.com.
