ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR USERS IN THE EEA AND THE UK

Rights and Choices

If the GDPR or UK Data Protection Act applies to You because You are in the EEA or the UK, You have certain rights in relation to Your personal data:

The right to be informed: our obligation to inform You that We process Your personal data (and that is what We are doing in this Privacy Policy);
The right of access: Your right to request a copy of the personal data We hold about You (also known as a ‘data subject access request’);
The right of rectification: Your right to request that We correct personal information about You if it is incomplete or inaccurate (We generally recommend first making any changes in Your Account Settings);
The right to erasure (also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’): under certain circumstances, You may ask us to delete the personal information We have about You (unless it remains necessary for us to continue processing Your personal data for a legitimate business need or to comply with a legal obligation as permitted under the GDPR or UK Data Protection Act, in which case We will inform You);
The right to restrict processing: Your right, under certain circumstances, to ask us to suspend our processing of Your personal data;
The right to data portability: Your right to ask us for a copy of Your personal data in a common format;
The right to object: Your right to object to us processing Your personal data;
Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling: our obligation to be transparent about any profiling We do, or any automated decision-making. These rights are subject to certain rules around when You can exercise them.

For End Users in the EEA or the UK, please read below.

Customers, Website Visitors in the EEA or the UK

If You are located in the EEA or the UK and You are a Customer or Website Visitor, and wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, You may contact us at info@buddler.com email address. You will not have to pay a fee to access Your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights) unless Your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, We may refuse to comply with Your request under those circumstances. If We cannot reasonably verify Your identity, We will not be able to comply with Your request(s). We may need to request specific information from You to help us confirm Your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. Note that this is especially true when You engage a third party to assist You in exercising Your rights. We will respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if Your request is particularly complex or You have made a number of requests. In this case, We will notify You and keep You updated as required by law. In addition, We will always balance Your rights against those of other data subjects in connection with any requests, and in some cases, this may require us to redact our responses or deny a request.

If You no longer wish to receive our marketing/promotional information, We remind You that You may withdraw Your consent to direct marketing at any time directly from the unsubscribe link included in each electronic marketing message We send to You. If You do so, We will promptly update our databases, and will take all reasonable steps to meet Your request at the earliest possible opportunity, but We may continue to contact You to the extent necessary for the purposes of providing our Services.

Finally, You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the supervisory authority for data protection issues in Your country of residence. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address Your concerns before You approach the supervisory authority, so please contact us directly first.

End Users in the EEA or the UK

AI ANALYTICS DEVELOPMENT LLC has no direct relationship with End Users. Our Customers are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to their End Users, and this includes handling all data subject requests. We rely on our Customers to comply with the underlying legal requirements and respond directly to End Users when End Users wish to exercise the rights set forth above. However, if an End User sends a request to access, correct, update, or delete his/her information, We will direct that End User to contact the Customer’s website(s) with which he/she interacted directly, and cooperate with our Customers as required by applicable law in order to ensure that our Customers satisfy their End Users’ requests.
