How is your Personal Data collected?
We will collect and process the following data about you:
- Information you give us: This is information you consent to giving us about you by filling in forms on the App and the App site and any Service websites (together “our sites“), or by corresponding with us. It includes information you provide when you register to use the App or download the App, or subscribe to any of our Services, share data via the App, send a message on the App, make a connection request on the App, accept a connection request on the App or any other activity carried out in connection with the App, and when you report a problem with the App. If you contact us, we will keep a record of that correspondence.
- Information we collect about you and your device: Each time you visit the App we will automatically collect personal data including device, content and usage data. We collect this data using cookies and other similar technologies. Please see our cookie policy for further details.
- Location Data : When you visit or leave our App or Services (including our plugins or cookies or similar technology on the sites or others), we receive the URL of both the site you came from and the one you go to next. We also get information about your IP address, proxy server, operating system, web browser and add-ons, device identifier and features, and/or ISP or your mobile carrier. Your mobile device will send us data about your location based on your phone settings. We will ask you to opt in before we use GPS or other tools to identify your exact location. We also use GPS technology to determine your current location. Some of our location enabled Services require your personal data for the feature to work. If you wish to use the particular feature, you will be asked to consent to your data being used for this purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time by disabling Location settings relating to the App in your general settings or App Permissions depending on your operating system.

Cookies
We use cookies to distinguish you from other users of the App, the App site and distribution platform to remember your preferences. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you use the App and allows us to improve the App. For detailed information on the cookies we use, the purpose for which we use them and how you can exercise your choices regarding our use of cookies, please see our cookie policy.
How we use your personal data
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to do so. The most common uses of your personal data will be as follows:
- Where you have consented before the processing;
- Where we need to perform a contract we are about to enter or have entered with you;
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests/fundamental rights do not override those interests; and
- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
We will only send you direct marketing communications by email if we have your consent. You have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us.
We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.
Disclosure of your personal data
When you consent to providing us with personal data, we will also ask you for your consent to share your personal data with third parties.
International Transfers
Some of our external third parties may be based outside of the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented.
- We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en; and/or
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en; and/or
- Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US. For further details, see: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/eu-us-data-transfers_en
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
Data Security
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers.
Should you purchase any Premium Services then any payment transaction which is carried out by us or chosen third-party provider of payment processing services will be encrypted. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of the App, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your passwords with anyone.
Once we have received your information, we will use procedures and security features to try and prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way.
We will collect and store personal data on your Device using application data caches and browser web storage.
Please ensure that when using the messaging or posting features of the App, you do not submit any personal data that you do not want to be seen, collected or used by others.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so.
Data Retention
By law we may have to keep basic information about our customers (including contact, identity, financial and transaction data, if applicable) for six years after they cease to be a registered user of the App.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data (details below).
In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research, statistical or commercial purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
In the event that you do not use the App for a period of one year then we will have the option to treat the account as expired and your personal data may be deleted.
Your legal rights
Under certain circumstances you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
You have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
- where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
- where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
- you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
You also have the right to ask us not to continue to process your personal data for marketing purposes.
You can exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting us at admin@seav.io.
