1.5 Purposes of collecting, holding, using and disclosing Personal Data

(a) Collect from you only

Where it is reasonable or practical to do so we will only collect Personal Data about you from you directly.

(b) Purposes of collecting Personal Data

We will only collect Personal Data that is reasonably necessary for:

(i) enabling us to process your application for membership and enabling us to provide services to you (including creating your publicly viewable profile, allowing members to search for suitable members and providing mechanisms for communication between members);

(ii) allowing you to easily port or transfer a profile that you have created on our Website to another website or service that we own, operate or are affiliated with, including another service that is offered by a Dating Group member;

(iii) our internal research and statistical purposes (including market segmentation and customer value analysis);

(iv) enabling us to forward to you other information or material which we believe may be of interest to you;

(v) enabling a payment processor to process payments that you make to us; and

(vi) any other purpose specified in our Website Terms of Use available on our Website

(the "Primary Purpose").

We do not sell Personal Data to any third parties or provide Personal Data to third parties for any business purpose (unless specifically referred to in this Privacy Statement).

(c) Use and disclosure of Personal Data

Use of Personal Data for the Primary Purpose will include the use of Personal Data in automated decision-making processes.

We will only use or disclose Personal Data about you for a purpose other than the Primary Purpose (being a "Secondary Purpose") where the following apply:

(i) the Secondary Purpose is related to the Primary Purpose and, if the Personal Data is Special Category Personal Data, the Secondary Purpose is directly related to the Primary Purpose; and

(ii) you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the Personal Data for the Secondary Purpose; or

(iii) you have consented to the use or disclosure for the Secondary Purpose; or

(iv) the use or disclosure of the Personal Data is required or authorized under law, regulation or court order.

In order to promote our products and services to you, we may also provide a hash of your email address (and no other Personal Data) to third parties, such as Facebook and other companies within RedSquarecupid, in order to better target our advertising to you, by using products such as Facebook's Custom Audiences.

A comparison of your hashed email address will only be for the purpose of promoting our goods and services to you and will not be used by that third party for any other purpose. The comparison of the hash of your email address will not be used to identify you or your email address, and no further information about you will be provided by us to that third party. In the case of intra‐group transfers of your Personal Data you will be asked to consent for such.

You may withdraw your consent to our use of your Personal Data for the Primary and Secondary Purposes at any time by contacting us using the contact information contained in clause 1.1(b) of this Privacy Statement. However, this may affect or limit your ability to use the Website and RedSquarecupid's services.

(d) Holding of Personal Data

We will use best practice processes and take all reasonable steps to protect Personal Data that we hold from:

(i) misuse, interference, and loss; and

(ii) unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure.

In the unlikely event that there is a serious data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will without undue delay notify the appropriate supervisory authority in your jurisdiction. Where there is a high risk that a serious data breach will impact upon your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you of that breach.

(e) Overseas disclosures

Any profile information that you have provided to us will be publicly viewable on your profile, irrespective of the location of the viewer. By creating a profile you acknowledge that overseas recipients will be able to view your profile.

In order to provide customer support, perform back office functions, perform fraud prevention tasks, or provide services to you we may need to allow our staff or suppliers (who may be located or whose resources may be located other than your country of residence) to access your profile information, billing information or other Personal Data that you have supplied.

We have implemented security measures to protect the security of your Personal Data. However, as with any transfer of data, there are still risks of data breaches. There may be instances where your Personal Data is transferred to third party countries and international organizations, which have not been the subject of an adequacy decision by the General Data Protection Regulation Commission, or a ruling by the equivalent supervisory authority in your jurisdiction. Such transfers are necessary in order for us to perform our obligations set out in the RedSquarecupid Website Terms of Use and for us to deliver our services to you.

By providing your Personal Data and Special Category Personal Data you are explicitly consenting to the international transfer and processing of such data in accordance with this Privacy Statement, including without limitation to any member of RedSquarecupid, in full and informed knowledge of the risks associated with such transfers and processing.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the contact information contained in clause 1.1(b) of this Privacy Statement. However, this may affect or limit your ability to use the Website and RedSquarecupid's services.

In all other circumstances we will only disclose Personal Data to a Third Party Country recipient or International Organization if the disclosure of the information is required or authorized by law, regulation or court order.

(f) Unsolicited information

If we collect Personal Data which we have not sought or requested about you, and if we determine we are legally permitted to collect that information, we will deal with that information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Statement. In all other circumstances, we will destroy or de-identify the relevant Personal Data as soon as practicable, where it is lawful and reasonable to do so.

(g) Information not confidential

Any material or information provided by you for inclusion in any member profile will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. We may use such material or information without restriction. Specifically, RedSquarecupid will use such material or information (including any profile information, photographs, video or audio recordings) that you have provided to us in order to copy your profile into any other relevant dating site owned and operated by RedSquarecupid, or any other relevant dating site forming part of RedSquarecupid. Any such material or information provided by you will be made available for other members or users of the Website to read.

(h) Communication

We reserve the right to send electronic mail to you regarding recommended profile matches, notification alerts of activity such as interest alerts or message alerts, promotions or offers, changes or additions to our services, or any products and services of our affiliated businesses.

If you are a member of our Website you may manage your email preferences by using the settings on the "Notifications" page to customize what type of email communications you wish to receive.

1.6 Destruction of Personal Data

We will keep your Personal Data only for as long as we need it for legitimate business purposes and as required by applicable law. We will take reasonable steps to erase any Personal Data that we hold about you, where:

(i) we no longer need the Personal Data for the purposes for which it was collected and we are not otherwise entitled to retain such data; and

(ii) we are not required or obligated by law, regulation or court order to retain the information.

If certain information has been provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Statement, retention of that information will be subject to the policies of the relevant third party.

1.7 Access, correction and portability

(a) Access to Personal Data

We will provide you with access upon request to the Personal Data held by us in relation to you except to the extent that:

(i) giving access would be unlawful; or

(ii) denying access is required or authorized by or under a relevant law, regulation or court order.

To request access to your Personal Data, please contact us using the details provided in clause 1.1(b) of this Privacy Statement.

Following your request, we will contact you within one (1) month from the date of receipt of your request and provide you with the Personal Data requested, unless we have determined that some reason or obligation exists requiring us to withhold access to the Personal Data.

(b) Third party disclosure

We do not sell your Personal Data to any third parties. Unless specifically referred to in this Privacy Statement, we also do not disclose your Personal Data to any third parties for other business purposes. However, notwithstanding this, you may at any time request that we provide confirmation that your Personal Data has not been sold to a third party, or to request details of any third party to which information has been sold or disclosed for business purposes.

Notwithstanding the above we may in certain circumstances make your Personal Data available to our third party service providers (to enable us to deliver our services to you), to our affiliated entities that operate dating services that we control or to other members of the Dating Group (for example, where you have requested that we port or transfer the profile you have created on one of our websites to an alternative website or dating service).

(c) Data portability

Insofar as it does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others and where you have communicated a request to us:

(i) where we have employed an automated means to process your Personal Data, we will provide you with a copy of such Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format; and

(ii) after receiving your request, where technically feasible, we will transmit your personal data directly to another data holder.

(d) Commercially sensitive information

Where providing you access to your Personal Data would reveal commercially sensitive information, we are unable to give you access to that information. However, we will provide you with the reasoning behind our determination.

(e) Use of intermediaries

Where we cannot directly provide you with access to your Personal Data we may, if it is reasonable, engage the services of an intermediary to do so.

(f) Correction and erasure of Personal Data

It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide to us is accurate and to update your Personal Data as necessary. If for any reason you are unable to correct any Personal Data held by us, please contact us using the details provided in clause 1.1(b).

If after receiving your request we choose not to correct your information, we will notify you within one month of the reason of our refusal and the mechanisms available to you to object to our refusal.

If you wish to have your Personal Data erased, please communicate your request to us using the contact information provided in clause 1.1(b). The only circumstances in which we will not take reasonable steps to erase your Personal Data are where we need to keep it in accordance with another provision of this Privacy Statement, the GDPR, or for any other legal reason. However, our deleting of your Personal Data may result in the deletion of your RedSquarecupid account and will mean you are unable to access our services.

If we correct or erase Personal Data about you that we previously disclosed to a third party in accordance with our Privacy Statement, we will take reasonable steps to notify the third party of the correction or erasure and to request that they do the same.

(g) Refusal to correct or erase

If at any time we refuse or deny you access to your Personal Data, or refuse to correct or erase your Personal Data, we will provide you with reasons for such denial or refusal.

(h) Restriction of processing

You may request that we limit or restrict the manner in which we deal with and process your Personal Data, in which case we will only process your Personal Data: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims against us; or for the protection of the rights of another person.

(i) Costs

Access to, erasure and rectification of your Personal Data, including any communications related thereto, will generally be provided free of charge.

Where your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive in nature (particularly due to repetitiveness) we may charge you a reasonable fee for providing the information or communication, or taking the action requested. Where your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive in nature, we may also refuse your request.

(j) Specific objection rights

If it becomes necessary for us to process your Personal Data without your consent for reasons of:

(i) performing a task in the public interest;

(ii) the exercise of an official authority that has been vested in us; or

(iii) where it is in our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party to do so;

you will have the right to object to such use.

If you object to our use of your Personal Data we will refrain from using your Personal Data unless compelling legitimate grounds exist for us to use that Personal Data, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If we have collected your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Statement and elect to use such Personal Data for the purposes of direct marketing (to which you consent), you have the right to object at any time to such use.

Upon receiving an objection we will, as soon as is reasonably practical, cease using your Personal Data for the purposes of direct marketing.

1.8 Complaints

(a) Making a complaint

If you believe that we have used or disclosed your Personal Data in a manner which is contrary to this Privacy Statement or that otherwise breaches an applicable law, then you should email us at team@ukrainiandating.co
