European Union Data Subject Rights EU Residents

If you are a resident of the European Union (“EU”), United Kingdom, Lichtenstein, Norway, or Iceland, you have additional rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) regarding your Personal Data, as detailed below.

In this section, “Personal Data” and “processing” are used as defined in the GDPR. Generally, “Personal Data” refers to information that can be used to identify a person individually, and “processing” broadly encompasses actions performed with data such as collection, use, storage, and disclosure. Aqtos will be the controller of your Personal Data processed in connection with the Services.

Should there be any discrepancies between this section and other parts of this Privacy Policy, the section or part that provides greater protection of Personal Data will prevail. If you have questions about this section or its applicability to you, please contact us at [email protected]. Note that we may process Personal Data of our customers’ end users or employees when providing certain services to customers, in which case we act as the processor of Personal Data. If we are processing your Personal Data as a processor (not the controller), please contact the controller party first to address your rights regarding such data.

We process your Personal Data only on a lawful basis. Lawful bases for processing include consent, contractual necessity, and our “legitimate interests” or those of third parties, as further explained below.

Contractual Necessity: We process certain categories of Personal Data as a matter of “contractual necessity,” meaning we need to process the data to fulfill our Terms of Use with you, enabling us to provide you with the Services. Without this data, you may not be able to use all or parts of the Services.

Examples include:

  • Profile or Contact Data
  • Web Analytics or other network activity information
  • Payment Data
  • Social Network Data
  • Device Data
  • Other Identifying Information you voluntarily provide

Legitimate Interest: We process certain categories of Personal Data when it aligns with the legitimate interest of us or third parties. We may de-identify or anonymize Personal Data to further these legitimate interests. Examples of these interests include:

  • Providing, customizing, and improving the Services
  • Marketing the Services
  • Communicating with you
  • Fulfilling legal requirements and enforcing legal terms
  • Completing corporate transactions

Consent: In some cases, we process Personal Data based on your explicit consent at the time of data collection. When processing is based on consent, it will be clearly indicated at the point and time of collection.

Other Processing Grounds: Occasionally, we may need to process Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation, protect your or others’ vital interests, or perform a task in the public interest.

Sharing Personal Data

EU Data Subject Rights

You have rights regarding your Personal Data, including the ones listed below. For more information or to make a request, please email us at [email protected].

Please note that in some cases, we may not be able to fully comply with your request, for example, if it is frivolous or extremely impractical, infringes on the rights of others, or is not legally required. In such cases, we will still respond to inform you of our decision. We may also require additional information, which may include Personal Data, to verify your identity and the nature of your request.

Access: You can request information about the Personal Data we hold about you and receive a copy of such data. You can also access some of your Personal Data by logging into your account.

Rectification: If you believe any Personal Data we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that we correct or supplement it. Some of this information can also be corrected directly by logging into your account.

Erasure: You can request that we erase some or all of your Personal Data from our systems.

Withdrawal of Consent: If we process your Personal Data based on consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. However, withdrawing consent may require you to provide express consent on a case-by-case basis for certain uses or disclosures of Personal Data necessary for the utilization of our Services.

Portability: You can request a copy of your Personal Data in a machine-readable format and ask us to transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.

Objection: You can inform us of your objection to further use or disclosure of your Personal Data for certain purposes, such as direct marketing.

Restriction of Processing: You can request us to limit further processing of your Personal Data.

Right to File Complaint: You have the right to complain about Aqtos’s practices regarding your Personal Data to the supervisory authority in your country or EU Member State. A list of Supervisory Authorities is available here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en.
