FDNA disclaims any liability in relation to the deletion or retention (subject to the terms herein) of information or any obligation not to delete the information, subject to applicable data protection and privacy regulations.

X.        YOUR OBLIGATIONS

As a User, you have certain obligations toward FDNA:

  • You must, at all times, respect the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. This includes respecting all intellectual property rights which may belong to third parties (such as photographs).
  • You must not download or otherwise disseminate any information which may be deemed to be injurious, defamatory, violent, offensive, racist, sexist or xenophobic, or which may otherwise violate the purpose and spirit of FDNA and its community of users.
  • You must not provide information to FDNA which you believe might be injurious or detrimental to your person, professional or social status.

Any violation of this Privacy Policy may lead to the restriction, suspension or termination of your use of the Services notwithstanding any legal remedies we may pursue as we take these principles seriously and consider them to be the basis on which our users adhere to the Website and the services which it offers.

XI.       DATA RETENTION

We process personal data only for so long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was originally collected, after which it will be deleted or archived except to the extent that it is necessary for us to continue to process it for the purpose of compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject or for another legitimate and lawful purpose.

The data retention periods may be extended, if necessary, in the event of any claims and court proceedings – for the duration of these proceedings and their settlement.
Sometimes your personal data may be available in different sites and places such as the Internet for indefinite period, and the group of recipients of your data is therefore unlimited.

XII.      HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We are committed to protect the security of your information. Therefore, we use a variety of industry-standard security technologies and procedures to help protect such information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. In addition, we protect your information from unauthorized physical access by storing such information in a controlled facility.

Except as provided elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we limit access to personal data collected by us to only those persons (including employees and contractors) who have a business need for such access, have signed confidentiality agreements with FDNA, and in the case of contractors and/or service providers agree to adhere to applicable data protection and privacy regulations.

Protecting your personal data is also your responsibility. We ask you to be responsible for safeguarding your information.

XV.      ADDITIONAL  INFORMATION FOR USERS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

a. Scope

This section applies to the processing of personal data that is within the scope of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) – when it is carried out by FDNA (as a data controller) and concerns users who are in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). In case of any doubts please contact us at [email protected].

b. GDPR Compliance

FDNA complies with the GDPR in regards to collecting, processing, and transferring the personal data of our EEA to non-EEA areas.

Our servers and data processing facilities are based in Ireland. In principle, all data processing activities are conducted within the EEA. However, in case we rely on a provider with data processing premises in a non-EEA country or in a jurisdiction that has not been declared adequate by the European Commission, FDNA uses EU standard contractual clauses (an agreement approved by the European Commission which gives personal data the same protection it has in the EU for data processing in non-EU countries) to ensure compliance with applicable EEA data protection and privacy regulations for our EU users. The EU standard contractual clauses used are available under the URL https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en

If you have any questions or concerns, please send an email to [email protected].

c. Identity and details of the Data Controller

The data controller is FDNA Inc., 490 Sawgrass Corporate Parkway, Suite 200 Sunrise, FL 33325. United States of America.

d. Legal basis of processing

When FDNA is processing your personal data in conjunction with the contract that is being concluded with you such as the Terms of Use, the legal basis for such processing will then be Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (it is necessary for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract).

If you are contacting us, for example, you have given us your information with a request to send you particular information, we process your data in order to respond to your query and for the purpose of further contact in this matter. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in accordance with this purpose will be your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

We process personal data for marketing purposes, particularly to promote FDNA (for example, to contact you from time to time to promote our Services), send advertising, advertising approaches, satisfaction surveys and to better adapt the content of our communications to your needs. These data processing activities are based on your consent (Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR).

We process data regarding using of our Website for the purpose of proper management of our Website, to improve its performance, ensure its security, adapt its content to your preferences. In addition, we gather this data for internal purposes, including resolving issues, conducting data analyses, testing, research, statistics, and for survey purposes. The legal basis of our activities is your consent, except for cases when the use of such data is essential for the functioning of our Website (electronic provision of a service to you within that scope); in such cases the legal basis will be our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Additionally, with regard to processing of your personal data in order to:

  • defend against or to make claims – the legal basis for processing of your personal data will be our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR);
  • fulfil legal obligations of the data controller (g. tax, accounting) – the legal basis for processing of your personal data will be the necessity for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

e. Data retention

As a general rule, personal data:

  • collected for the purposes of conclusion and performance of a contract such as our Terms of Use will be processed for the duration of the contract;
  • processed on the basis of our legitimate interest will be processed until the objection to processing or the fulfilment of the purpose for which it has been processed;
  • processed on the basis of your consent will be processed until its possible withdrawal or fulfilment of the purpose for which it was given.

The above-mentioned rules will apply unless any law or regulation (e.g. regarding archiving, taxation, accounting) or an order issued by any authority obliges us to process such data for a longer period, or in case of potential claims, for such claim’s limitation period specified by law – whichever is longer.

f. Your rights

You can also request that your data be erased accordingly by third parties to whom we have transferred this data.
  • Right to restriction of processing. You have the right to obtain the restriction of the processing of your data if the legal requirements are met. This is the case, for example, if you contest the accuracy of your personal data.

In case of such objection, we kindly ask you to state the reasons for objecting to the data processing.
    • Right to data portability. If personal data processing is based on consent or contract performance and, in addition, is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
