4. TO WHOM DO WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

In general, INFLUENCITY will not communicate your data to third parties. However, in addition to the transfers that we specifically indicate in the section in which we explain the characteristics of the different operations (point 3), we inform you of the communications that we can make, in general, and that affect all previous treatments and their legitimate grounds.

i. Customers, certain personal information will be available to our customers so they can evaluate your suitability to participate in their campaigns. This information may include your name, public information of your social media account(s), and related estimated statistics.

ii. Service Providers, (for example, hosting companies or platforms for sending commercial communications). Notwithstanding the foregoing, these entities have signed the corresponding confidentiality agreements and will only process your data according to our instructions, and not being able to use them for their own purposes or apart from the service they provide us.

The current list of processors is included in the following link: https://influencity.com/legal/sub-processors-list

iii. Public Bodies. We may disclose to the competent public authorities the data and any other information in our possession or accessible through our systems when there is a legal obligation to do so, as well as when required, for example, when the purpose is to prevent or prosecute abuse of services or fraudulent activities through our Website or web page. In such cases, the personal data you provide to us would be kept and made available to administrative or judicial authorities.

iv. In the event of a corporate transaction: In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of all or part of its assets, or any other type of corporate transaction involving a third party, we may share, disclose or transfer user data to the successor entity (including during the pre-transaction phase).

v. To third parties after aggregation or anonymization: We may disclose or use aggregated or anonymized data (i.e., data that cannot be linked to an identified or identifiable natural person) for any purpose.

vi. To third parties with your consent or other legitimate basis: In the event that we want to share data with third parties outside the scope of this Privacy Policy, we will always seek your consent or inform you of your consent and legitimate basis.

We also inform you that this Privacy Policy only refers to the collection, processing and use of information (relating to personal data) by us through your interaction with our Website. Access to third party websites that you may access through links from the Website have their own privacy policies over which we have no control. Therefore, before you provide them with any personal information, we recommend that you read their privacy policies.

 

5. ARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERRED TO THIRD COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE ECONOMIC AREA?

Some of our service providers are located in countries outside the European Economic Area ("EEA").

The location of these companies outside the EEA implies the existence of an international transfer of your personal data, which could lead to a lower level of protection than that provided for in European legislation. However, INFLUENCITY has implemented measures to ensure that such transfers do not result in a lower level of protection of your personal data.

In this regard, service providers outside the EEA have signed the corresponding standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission ("STC"), an agreement signed between the two entities by which the non-EU company guarantees that it applies European data protection standards.

Therefore, the use of these providers does not result in a lesser degree of protection of your personal data than the use of providers located in the European Union. You can consult the content of the TCHs in the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors_en

 

6. WHAT ARE THE RIGHTS YOU CAN EXERCISE AS A DATA SUBJECT AND HOW CAN YOU EXERCISE THEM?

Any claim we receive will be resolved as soon as possible and, in any event, within the maximum time limit established by law from the time we receive it.

The rights that correspond to you as an interested party are the following:

Influencity uses authorized data from Instagram, YouTube, Google, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other platforms (“Social Platforms”).

Consider that, by withdrawing your authorization, your experience in our Platform may be limited and certain functionalities will be removed.

Subject to legal and other permissible considerations, we will make every reasonable effort to honor your request promptly or inform you if we require further information in order to fulfill your request. When processing your request, we may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity and for security purposes, before disclosing the Personal Data requested to you. We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance, if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. In the event that your request would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others (for example, would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others) or if we are legally entitled to deal with your request in a different way than initially requested, we will address your request to the maximum extent possible, all in accordance with applicable law.

 

7. HOW DO WE GUARANTEE THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR INFORMATION?

The security of your personal data is a priority for us. Therefore, INFLUENCITY has implemented all necessary security measures to ensure effective use and processing of personal data provided by the user, safeguarding their privacy, confidentiality and integrity of them.

Consequently, we comply with the recommended safety standards to protect your data. However, it is impossible to fully guarantee your security due to the nature of the Internet and because there may be fraudulent actions by third parties beyond our control.

We are committed to acting quickly and diligently if data security is compromised or compromised, and to inform you of this where relevant.

 

8. MODIFICATIONS TO THIS POLICY

From INFLUENCITY we can modify the content of the privacy policy at any time, especially when there are changes in legislation, jurisprudence or interpretation of the Spanish Data Protection Agency that affect the processing of data by INFLUENCITY through this Website. Any new version of this Privacy Policy will come into force on the date of entry into force published.

If the revised version includes a material change that affects the processing of your data, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance by posting a notice on our website or communicating it to you via email. In any case, we recommend that you periodically review this Privacy Policy to be informed of how your personal data is processed and protected, as well as the rights you have.
