MESSAGING SERVICES

By initiating a conversation with PrimeFreebies through our Facebook messenger service, as per Art. 6 Abs.1 lit. a GDPR, I acknowledge that Sender is permitted to use my personal data (such as first and last name, phone number, messenger ID, profile picture, messages) for direct communication and necessary data processing, as per the respective messenger. An existing account with the respective provider is necessary to use this service.

The possible messenger service provider is:
Facebook Messenger – Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA

I understand that the respective provider may receive personal data (including communication meta data) that may be processed on servers located outside the EU (e.g., USA) that do not provide the same data protection level as in the EU. Whatsapp Inc and Facebook Inc are certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus ensure adherence to European data protection regulations. Further information is available in the privacy policies of the respective messengers. Sender does not have extensive knowledge or control over the respective providers’ data handling.

You can revoke your consent to this data processing at any point by sending “stop” in the respective messenger. To erase all data stored by our technical service provider, please send a message with “delete all data” through your messenger.

For this messenger service, Sender employs the technical service provider WhatsBroadcast, Schwanthalerstraße 32, 80336 Munich, Germany.

EMAIL MONITORING TECHNOLOGY

We employ Mailchimp for sending emails. This platform gathers email analytics on an individual basis, including (but not limited to) who was sent specific emails, opens, clicks, bounces & unsubscribes, using industry-standard technologies like clear gifs.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) may not always provide the same protection level for your personal data. Hence, European law has restricted personal data transfers outside the EEA unless specific criteria are met.

Many of our third-party service providers are based outside the EEA, implying that your personal data processing will involve a data transfer outside the EEA.

When transferring your personal data out of the EEA, we strive to ensure a similar security level for your data.

To safeguard the information collected online, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.

In addition, we restrict access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who need to know the data for business purposes. They will process your personal data only on our instructions and are bound by confidentiality.

We have established procedures to handle any suspected personal data breach and will inform you and any relevant regulator of a breach when legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To ascertain the appropriate retention period for personal data, we take into account the data’s amount, nature, and sensitivity, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the processing purposes, and whether these purposes can be achieved through other means, along with the applicable legal requirements.

By law, we are required to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes. Under certain circumstances, you can request us to delete your data.

We may anonymise your personal data (so that it cannot be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes. In this case, we may use this information indefinitely without further notifying you.
