Purpose and legal basis of processing Personal Data

Your Personal Data will be used for the purposes of the Service:

The Controller has made all reasonable technical means to protect the Personal Data. Only authorized persons can access the Personal Data.

Third parties which can gain access to the Personal Data when necessary are:

  • Persons which are contracted for technical assurance of the service.
  • If you purchase a service from us, a payment processor gets essential access to your Personal Data, limited to the bare minimum needed to process your payment.

Disclosure of the Personal Data

The Personal Data might be disclosed to third parties in limited circumstances when the Controller has a good faith belief it is required by law, such as under a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order.

If the User does not challenge the disclosure request, the Controller may be legally required to turn over the Personal Data.
