Personal data or personal information means any information about a person by which that person can be identified. This does not include data where the ability to identify a person has been removed (anonymous data).

We also collect, use and share aggregated data for any lawful purpose. Aggregated data may be obtained from your personal data, but is not considered personal data in law, as this data cannot directly or indirectly reveal your identity in any way, since it is anonymized. For example, we may combine your usage data to calculate the percentage of users who access a particular feature of the website. However, if we combine or link aggregated data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data to be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

In this case, we may have to cancel the service, but we will definitely inform you about the possible consequences of not providing personal data.

Only in cases expressly provided by law, we have the right to continue processing your personal data without your consent or if you withdraw your relevant consent to the processing of personal data, however, we will definitely notify you of the fact of such processing.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and confidentiality of personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and we may achieve these purposes in other ways and applicable requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation.

In some cases, you may ask us to delete your data.

In some cases, we may de-identify your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice, as such information will be considered derivative and it will be covered by all relevant intellectual property rights.

8. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT:

Request access to your personal data (commonly referred to as a «data subject access request»). This allows you to obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you and verify that we are lawfully processing it.

Ask us to correct the personal data we hold about you. This allows you to correct any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you, although we may need to verify the accuracy of new data you provide to us.

Ask us to delete your personal data. This allows you to ask us to temporarily or permanently delete your personal data, unless we have a compelling reason to continue processing it. You also have the right to ask us to temporarily or permanently delete your personal data if you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing, if we may have processed your personal data unlawfully, and if we are required to delete your personal data by law. However, please note that we may not always be able to comply with your removal request for specific legal reasons, which will be communicated to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to the processing of your personal data when we rely on a legitimate interest (or the interests of third parties) and there is something in your particular situation that prompts you to object to processing on this ground, because you feel that it affects your inherent constitutional rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object when we process your personal data. Please note that in some cases we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing your personal data that override your claims.

Ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data. This allows you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following cases: (a) if you want us to ascertain the accuracy of the data; (b) when we use the data illegally, but you do not want us to erase it, but use it legally later, when the illegal grounds no longer exist; (c) when you need us to keep the data, even if we no longer need it because you need it to establish, exercise or protect your legal interests; or (d) you have objected to our use of your information, but we need to verify that we have overriding legitimate grounds for using it.

Withdraw consent to the processing of your personal data at any time when we rely on consent to the processing of 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 will not be able to provide you with our website, blog or services. We will notify you of this at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set forth above, as well as other rights that may not be provided for in this Policy, please contact us.

Free use of your personal data

You will not need to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any other rights).

What we may need from you

We may need to ask you for specific information to help us verify your identity and enforce your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to anyone who does not have the right to receive it. We may also contact you to request additional information regarding your request in order to expedite our response. We ask you to treat this procedure with understanding, as we care about your information security and compliance with applicable law.

Response time

We try to respond to all legitimate requests as soon as possible, as we are busy. Sometimes it may take us longer than you might expect if your request is particularly complex or you have made multiple requests. In this case, we will notify you of this and keep you informed, including asking you for the necessary information, without prejudice to your legitimate interests.
