Legal Bases of Processing

Under the applicable laws we are required to have valid legal bases in order to lawfully collect and process any personal information. The following are the legal bases that we rely on when we collect, use and process your personal information:

(a) Consent

In order to collect and use certain information about you, we rely on your consent. This is where you have actively agreed to our collection and use of your personal information (i.e., when you sign up for an account with us).

(b) Performance of a Contract

As a user of the Services, you agree to our Terms and Conditions in order to access and use the Services. We will process your personal information on the legal basis that it is necessary for us to provide you with the Services.

We may have to process and share your personal data in order to comply with our legal obligations or to protect our rights or the rights of others. For example, we may be required to comply with a subpoena, court order, or a similar legal procedure.

(d) Legitimate interests

In some limited circumstances, we rely on our legitimate business interests in order to collect and process your personal information. Before using your data for our legitimate interests, we always carry out a balancing test to carefully consider the impact of the processing on your interests, rights and freedoms. We only process your personal data if we are satisfied there is no negative impact on you. Most commonly, we may rely on legitimate interests and legal basis for the following activities:

providing, maintaining, improving and developing the Services.

Disclosure of Information

All personal information collected by ZEEDEO is treated as confidential. We disclose entire or part of your personal data in the limited circumstances described below and with appropriate safeguards for your privacy.

We disclose information about you to our business partners, external consultants, auditors, our employees, and individuals who are our independent contractors that need to know the information to help us provide the Services. We require all of these parties to comply strictly with this Privacy Policy. We disclose your information to other users of the Services, which may include recruitment companies and employers. This will completely depend on the jobs you apply for on the Services.

We will disclose your information to third-party vendors that enable us to provide the Services to you. This category of recipients includes third-party providers that host the Services, perform analytic services and analyze the data of our surveys and/or contests.

If we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets, your data may be transferred to a third party. Any new owner of our business may continue to use your data in the same way that we have used it, as specified in this Privacy Policy (i.e. to communicate with you).

In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain data, which may rarely include your personal data, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

Your Rights

When you are using the Services, you have the following rights in relation to the processing of your personal data:

Right to be Informed: What personal data we are processing about you and why (we provide this information in this Privacy Policy).

Right to Access: You have the right to request access to your personal data and obtain a copy of the personal information we have collected. For such information, you can contact us using our contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

Right to Deletion: We store your personal information for as long as necessary to provide you with the Services. You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information if you believe we no longer need it for the purposes for which it was provided. Please note that we may need to keep a record of your request to ensure compliance with legal obligations. To request deletion of your personal data, you can contact us using our contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

Right to Rectification: If the personal data held is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you have the right to have it corrected or updated. For such requests, you can contact us using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

Marketing Opt-Out: You have the right at any time to prevent the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes. If you no longer want to receive marketing messages, please let us know by using our contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

Right to Object: You have a right to object to the processing of any personal data that we process where we are relying on legitimate interests as the legal basis of our processing. If you request to exercise your right to object, if we have legitimate grounds to carry on processing your data, we will be able to continue to do so. Otherwise, we will cease processing your data.

Right to Data Portability: You can request a copy of your personal information in a machine-readable format that can be transferred to another provider. For such requests, you can contact us using our contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

Rights related to Automated Decision-Making: There are several rights in this area where processing carried out on a solely automated basis results in a decision that has legal or significant effects on the individual. In these circumstances, your rights include the right to ensure that there is human intervention in the decision-making process. Please note that we do not use your personal data in this way.

International Data Transfers

As a rule, we make our best efforts to store and process your personal data within the UK. However, we may need to store or transfer some of your data outside the UK. If we ever need to transfer your data outside of the UK for any reason, we will make sure that there are valid safeguards in place.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) you should be aware that the data, you provide to us will be hosted in the UK. According to the decision of the European Union Commission, the UK is among the countries that provide an adequate level of protection as the EU in relation to your personal information and thus, transfers of personal data of EEA residents to the UK is allowed.

Security Measures

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for the Services to protect against the loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the personal information we collect through the Services. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, the industry standard, to encrypt the information you submit to us through the Services in order to protect its security during transmission to and from the Services. We also use a third-party data storage service that encrypts the data at rest.

Please note, despite all the measures we take to maintain the safety and security of your personal information, no transmission over the Internet can ever be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot fully guarantee the security of any personal information that you transfer over the Internet to us.

Information Retention Period

We do not intend to keep your personal information forever. We will do our best not to keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. When we no longer need your personal data we will remove it from our systems. Likewise, when you stop using the Services, we will also start removing your personal information from our servers unless there are legal grounds to keep the information for a longer period.

In some circumstances we will anonymize your personal information (it will no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Restrictions for Minors

The Services are not directed, in any way, to children under the age of 13. If a child under 13 submits personal information to us, and we find out about this, we will immediately take reasonable steps to remove such personal information from our databases. If you happen to believe that we might have any personal information from a child under 13, please contact us using the details provided in this Privacy Policy.

How to Make a Complaint

If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate authorities. Since we are based in the UK we fall under the scope of the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

That said, we would welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves, so please contact us first at info@zeedeo.com

Third-Party Links

The Services may, from time to time, contain links to and from third-party websites and services. Please note that those websites and services have their own privacy policies which may differ from that of ours. We do not accept any responsibility for those websites. We strongly recommend that you check their privacy policies before you submit any personal data to them.

Changes to Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be amended by us from time to time. This may be done out of necessity (e.g., in order to reflect changes in the applicable laws), or if we change our business in a way that affects personal data protection.

Any changes will immediately be posted on the Services and you will be deemed to have accepted the terms of the updated Privacy Policy on your first use of the Services following the amendments. Therefore, we strongly recommend you to revisit this page and check our Privacy Policy regularly in order to keep up-to-date.
