  • 4. Personal data that we collect and process

    We will collect different categories of personal data from you depending on your level

    as identified in this privacy policy.

  • 7. Who we share your personal data with

    It is our policy not to use or share personal data about you in ways unrelated to those described in
    this privacy policy without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out or otherwise object to
    such unrelated uses. However, we may disclose personal data about you, or information regarding your
    use of the services or the Website to third parties for any of the reasons set out hereinabove, or
    if we are legally required to do so, or if we are authorized under our contractual and statutory
    obligations. When we disclose your personal data to service providers, we will ensure that they are
    bound by a contract requiring them to comply with their GDPR obligations. Under the circumstances
    referred to above, recipients of personal data may be, for example:
    1. members of our corporate group which operate partner websites such as xfrenchies.com,
      to the extent this is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy
      policy and to enable you to have access to certain features;
    2. service providers;
    3. governmental and regulatory bodies, including law enforcement authorities, in connection with
      enquiries, proceedings or investigations by such parties or in order to enable the Company to
      comply with its legal and regulatory requirements. We specifically reserve the right to disclose
      any and all information to law enforcement in the event that a crime is committed or suspected
      or if we are compelled to do so by lawful criminal, civil or administrative process, discovery
      requests, subpoenas, court orders or writs;
    4. buyers or other legal successors in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring,
      reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a
      going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding, in which personal
      information held by us about our Website Members and Browsers is among the assets transferred.
      Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the entity
      to which we transfer your personal data uses it in an manner that is consistent with this
      privacy policy; and/or
    5. legal or other professional consultants.
    We may also disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify
    any individual, without restriction. We also may share aggregated information with third-parties for
    conducting general business analysis. This information does not contain any personal data and may be
    used to develop content and services that we hope you and other users will find of interest.
    Please note that we have never sold and will never sell your personal data to third parties.

  • 8. Members' Profile

    Members should be aware that all information directly provided on the Website when they create an
    account is public and can be viewed by all other Members and Browsers of the Website, unless
    otherwise stated. Even if a Member's profile does not contain any personal information, there is a
    possibility of identification by others through other information on the Member's profile.
    Accordingly, Members should understand that they are in control of all of the information they
    upload on the Website and/or display on their profile and are fully responsible for any consequences
    arising out of such information.

  • 9. Security of your personal data

    We take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to
    safeguard your personal data from unauthorized access and disclosure. For instance, only authorized
    employees are permitted to access personal data, and they may do so only for permitted business
    functions. In addition, we use encryption in the transmission of your personal data between your
    system and ours, and we use firewalls to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to
    your personal data. However, please be advised that we cannot fully eliminate security risks
    associated with the storage and transmission of personal data as we cannot guarantee that our
    security measures will prevent third-party hackers from illegally obtaining this information.
    You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at
    all times. We are not responsible for circumventions of any privacy settings or security measures
    contained on the Website.

  • 10. Information we transfer

    Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") so the
    processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
    Whenever we transfer your data outside the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded
    to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
    1. We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an
      adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
    2. Where we use service providers outside the EEA, we may use specific contracts approved by the
      European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in the European Union.
    3. Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the
      Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between
      the European Union and the US.
    We may additionally, in rare occasions, transfer your personal data to a party outside the EEA where
    we have your prior explicit consent to do so or where such transfer is necessary for the provision
    of our services to you.

  • 11. Marketing information

    We may process your personal data so as to inform you about existing and/or future services that may
    be of interest to you by sending you periodic announcements with details on existing and/or new
    services and/or programs.
    You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for marketing
    purposes, by clicking at the opt-out link at the bottom of any marketing emails we send you.
    We can only use your personal data to promote our services to you if we have your explicit consent
    to do so, or in certain cases such as for example when you are a Member of our Website, if we
    consider that it is in our legitimate interest to do so. You may also occasionally receive marketing
    communications from our affiliates, but only provided you have given your explicit consent in
    receiving such communications.
    Even if you inform us that you no longer wish to receive marketing material, you will still receive
    from us system notices and other information specifically related to your account from time to time.

  • 12. How long we keep your personal data for

    We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected
    it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, 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 of 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 unauthorized 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 requirements.
    Where we no longer need to process your personal data for purposes set out in this privacy policy,
    we will delete your personal data from our systems. However, we may keep your data for longer if we
    cannot delete it for legal, regulatory or technical reasons. If we do, we will make sure that your
    privacy is protected and that your data are only used for those purposes.
    If you have questions about our data retention practices, please contact us electronically by
    sending as an email at [email protected].

  • 13. Your data protection rights

    We want to make sure you are aware of your rights in relation to the personal data we process about
    you. We have described those rights and the circumstances in which they apply further below.
    1. Access: This enables you to get access or receive a copy of the personal data
      that we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
    2. Correction: If you believe that any of the information that we hold about you
      is inaccurate or incomplete, you have a right to request that we correct the inaccurate personal
      information.
    3. Erasure: You may request that we delete your personal information if you
      believe that:
      1. we no longer need to process your information for the purposes for which it was
        provided;
      2. we have requested your permission to process your personal information and you wish to
        withdraw your consent; or
      3. we are not using your information in a lawful manner.
      As a result of deleting your personal information, you will lose access to most of our
      services.
      Grace period: There is a 45 day grace period
      before we proceed with erasure. During this Grace Period you will be allowed to restore your
      account. The grace period functionality allows you not to lose any important information and
      options by mistake. After the expiration of the grace period however, your account will be
      deleted.
    4. Right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your
      personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about
      your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. If
      you exercise your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we
      can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your
      interests, rights and freedom or for the establishment, exercise and defense of legal
      claims.
      If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, then we
      shall stop the processing of your personal data for such purposes.
      Depending on the circumstances, we may need to restrict or cease
      processing your personal data altogether or, where requested, delete your personal data.
      Please note that if you object us processing your personal data, we may have to suspend the
      services we provide to you.
    5. Restriction: You have the right to request the restriction of processing of
      your personal data. This enables you to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal
      data if:
      1. it is not accurate; or
      2. it has been used unlawfully but you do not want us to delete it; or
      3. it is not relevant any more, but you want us to keep it for use in possible legal
        claims; or
      4. you have already asked us to stop using your personal data but you are waiting for us to
        confirm if we have legitimate grounds to use your personal data.
      Please note that if you request us to restrict processing of your personal data, we may have
      to suspend the services we provide to you.
    6. Right to portability: Where we have requested your permission to process
      your personal data or you have provided us with information for the purposes of entering
      into a contract with us, you have the right to receive the personal data you provided to us
      in a portable format. You may also request us to provide it directly to a third party, if
      technically feasible. We are not responsible for any such third party's use of your account
      information, which will be governed by their agreement with you and any privacy statement
      they provided to you.
    If we ask for your consent to use your personal data, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
    Please note that in case of a withdrawal of your consent you may no longer be able to use several
    functionalities of our Website and our services.
    Please note that some requests to delete certain personal data will require the deletion of your
    account as a Member as the provision of Member accounts is inextricably linked to the use of certain
    personal data (e.g. your email address). Also note that it is possible that we require additional
    information from you in order to verify your authorization to make the request and to honor your
    request.
    To exercise any of your rights, or if you have any other questions about our use of your personal
    data, please contact us electronically by sending us an email at [email protected].
    We endeavor to address all your requests promptly.
