CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS
Depending on where you are located, sometimes your information may be subject to cross-border transfers. DateRanker is intended for use by US residents. But, if you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), your personal information will be transferred outside of the EEA, for instance, to the United States of America and other jurisdictions. IF YOU ARE AN EU RESIDENT AND YOU PROVIDE INFORMATION TO DateRanker, THEN YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE TRANSFER OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE UNITED STATES AND TO OTHER JURISDICTIONS AROUND THE WORLD. YOU ARE ALSO CONSENTING TO OUR USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT DateRanker PROVIDES AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS
For EU residents, Chapter 3 of the GDPR provides states you have eight rights. These are:
- The right to be informed; This means anyone processing your personal data must make clear what they are processing, why, and who else the data may be passed to.
- The right of access; this is your right to see what data is held about you by a Data Controller.
- The right to rectification; the right to have your data corrected or amended if what is held is incorrect in some way.
- The right to erasure; under certain circumstances, you can ask for your personal data to be deleted. This is also called ‘the Right to be Forgotten. This would apply if the personal data is no longer required for the purposes it was collected for, or your consent for the processing of that data has been withdrawn, or the personal data has been unlawfully processed.
- The right to restrict processing; this gives the Data Subject the right to ask for a temporary halt to the processing of personal data, such as in the case where a dispute or legal case has to be concluded, or the data is being corrected.
- The right to data portability; a Data Subject has the right to ask for any data supplied directly to the Data Controller by him or her, to be provided in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
- The right to object; the Data Subject has the right to object to the further processing of their data that is inconsistent with the primary purpose for which it was collected, including profiling, automation, and direct marketing.
- Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling; Data Subjects have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing.
DateRanker IS INTENDED FOR USE BY US OR NORTH AMERICAN RESIDENTS. THEREFORE, ALTHOUGH WE MAY USE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO PROVIDE THE EIGHT RIGHTS LISTED ABOVE, WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL DO SO.
