7. Data Processed by Third Parties

7.1 Third-Party Authorizations

  • 7.1.1 Facebook, Twitter, Google, VK: When you log in to our website using your social media account from platforms like Facebook or Google, we may automatically receive your login information based on prior authorization granted to us by these platforms. To ensure your privacy, we recommend reviewing their privacy policies before using these logins. Always protect your account by signing out and not sharing your login credentials.
  • 7.1.2 PayPal: If you choose to pay via "Check out with PayPal," you will be redirected to PayPal’s website. While our logo may appear on the page, PayPal collects and processes your payment information independently.

7.2 Other Third Parties Accessing Your Information

We may share your data with two types of third parties:

  • 7.2.1 Advertising & Marketing Partners: Data related to your browsing activity, such as products you've viewed, may be shared with partners like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and others to deliver personalized ads.

    .3 Third Parties Located in Other Countries

    As mentioned earlier, model contractual clauses, alternative legal bases, or binding corporate rules are used to protect your data when shared with third parties in other countries. If we become aware of a third party breaching its obligations and compromising your privacy, we will take immediate action to address the issue. If you believe that a third party has breached its obligations due to an error on our part, you can contact us for assistance and remedies. We are committed to applying appropriate safeguards, such as encryption, to ensure your information is secure. You also have the right to request a copy of the data transferred to third countries. To exercise this right, please contact us.

    7.4 Third-Party Websites

    Our website may include links to websites of our partners, advertisers, and other third parties. Please note that these websites have their own privacy policies, and we do not share your data with them unless authorized by you or required by law. Be sure to review their privacy policies before submitting personal data to those sites, as we are not responsible for any data breaches caused by third-party websites.

    8. Information Security

    We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access and ensure its proper use. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel, such as data controllers, processors, and data protection officers, who need it to perform their duties. We have also developed a recovery system to prevent data loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure due to technology issues.
    It’s important for you to take steps to protect your account credentials and devices from unauthorized access. A "personal data breach" refers to a security breach that leads to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access to personal data. If such a breach occurs, we will investigate it and notify the affected individuals and relevant authorities within a reasonable time frame.
    Our Data Protection Officer (DPO) is available to assist with any concerns related to personal data processing. Despite our best efforts, no system is completely secure. In the event of a breach, we will notify you and the relevant authorities if legally required.

    9. UK Consumer Privacy Rights

    If you are a UK resident, you may have certain rights under the law, including the right to request:

    • Information on the categories of personal data we’ve collected or disclosed over the past 12 months, including the sources, business purposes, and third parties with whom we’ve shared it.
    • Access to, or a copy of, specific personal data we hold about you.
    • Deletion of certain personal data.
    • Opting out of the sale of your personal data (note: we haven’t sold any personal information in the past 12 months as defined by the UK Consumer Privacy Act).

    You may also have the right to receive information about any financial incentives we offer and the right to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Certain information may be exempt from these requests under applicable law. Keep in mind that some information is necessary for providing our services, and deleting it may limit your access to these services. For more details on how to access, update, or correct your account information, opt-out of marketing communications, or deactivate your account, please refer to other sections of this Privacy Policy.

    We take your privacy seriously and will only share your personal information with you or your authorized agent. The UK Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires us to verify your identity before processing requests for personal data. You will typically need to prove control of the relevant account and UK residency. If you appoint an authorized agent to act on your behalf, we will need a signed written authorization or power of attorney. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.

These changes are important to ensure your rights over your personal data, so we encourage you to review the Privacy Policy regularly.
