This privacy policy ("Policy") describes how the personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you may provide in the "brandoo" mobile application ("Mobile Application" or "Service") and any related products and services (collectively, "Services") is collected, protected and used. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update that information. This policy is a legally binding agreement between you ("user", "you" or "your") and brand technologies ag ("brand technologies ag", "we", "us" or "our"). By accessing and using the Mobile Application and Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.

Automatic Collection of Information

When you use the mobile application, our servers automatically record information that your device sends. This information may include information such as your device's IP address and location, device name and version, operating system type and version, language settings, information you search for in the Mobile Application, access times and dates, and other statistics.

The automatically collected information is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and to compile statistical information about the use of the Mobile Application and Services. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in a way that would identify a particular user of the system.

Collection of Personal Information

You can access and use the Mobile Application and Mobile Services without telling us who you are or revealing any information that would allow someone to identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. However, if you choose to use some of the features of the Mobile Application, you may be asked to provide certain personal information (such as your name and email address). We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us when you create an account, post content, make a purchase, or fill out online forms in the Mobile Application. When required, this information may include:

• Personal information such as name, country of residence, etc.
• Contact information such as email address, address, etc.
• Account information such as username, unique user ID, password, etc.
• Geolocation data such as latitude and longitude.
• Certain features on the mobile device such as contacts, calendar, gallery, etc.
• Information about other people such as your family members, friends, etc.
• Any other materials you willingly provide to us such as articles, images, feedback, etc.

Some of the information we collect comes directly from you through the Mobile Applications and Services. However, we may also collect personal information about you from other sources such as public databases, social media platforms, third-party data providers, and our joint marketing partners. Personal Information we collect from other sources may include demographic information such as age and gender, device information such as IP addresses, location such as city and state, and online behavioral data such as information about your use of social media sites, page view information, and search results and links. You may choose not to provide us with your personal information, but then you may not be able to use some of the features of the Mobile Application. Users who are unsure about what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us.

Use and processing of the collected information

In order to provide you with the Mobile Application and Services or to comply with a legal obligation, we need to collect and use certain personal information. If you do not provide the information we request, we may not be able to provide you with the products or services you requested. Any information we collect from you may be used for the following purposes:

• Create and manage user accounts
• Fill and manage orders
• Deliver products or services
• Improve products and services
• Send administrative information
• Send marketing and promotional communications
• Respond to inquiries and provide support
• Request user feedback
• Improve user experience
• Testimonials from postal customers
• Deliver targeted advertising
• Manage sweepstakes and contests
• Enforce terms and policies
• Protect against abuse and malicious users
• Respond to legal inquiries and prevent harm
• Running and operating the mobile application and services

The processing of your personal data depends on how you interact with the Mobile Application and Mobile Services, where you are in the world, and whether any of the following apply: (i) you have given your consent for one or more specific purposes; however, this does not apply if the processing of personal data is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act or European data protection law; (ii) the provision of information is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and/or for pre-contractual obligations thereunder; (iii) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which you are subject; (iv) processing is related to a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us; (v) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party. Note that under some legislations, we may be permitted to process information until you object to such processing (by opting out), without having to rely on consent or any other of the legal bases listed below. In any case, we are happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Information is a legal or contractual requirement or a condition to entering into a contract.

Billing and Payments

We use third-party payment processors to help us securely process your payment information. The use of your personal information by these third-party processors is subject to their respective privacy policies, which may contain privacy protections that are as protective as this Policy. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

Management of Information

You have the ability to delete certain personal information that we have about you. The personal information you can delete may change as the mobile application and services change. However, if you delete Personal Information, we may retain a copy of the unrevised Personal Information in our records for the period necessary to comply with our obligations to our affiliates and partners and for the purposes described below. If you wish to delete your Personal Information or permanently delete your account, you may do so on the settings page of your account in the Mobile Application.

Disclosure of Information

Depending on the services requested or as needed to complete a transaction or provide a service you have requested, we may contract with other companies and share your information, with your consent, with our trusted third parties who work with us and any other affiliates and subsidiaries we rely on to support the operation of the Mobile Application and services available to you. We do not share personal information with non-affiliated third parties. These service providers are not authorized to use or disclose your information except as necessary to provide services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. We may share your personal information for these purposes only with third parties whose privacy policies are consistent with ours or who agree to abide by our policies regarding personal information. These third parties will receive personal information only to perform their assigned tasks, and we will not authorize them to use or disclose personal information for their own marketing or other purposes. We will disclose any personal information we collect, use or receive when required or permitted by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, and when we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud or respond to a government request. In the event that we go through a business transition, such as a merger or acquisition by another company or the sale of all or a portion of its assets, your user account and personal information will likely be among the transferred assets.

Retention of Information

We will retain and use your personal information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We may use any aggregated data derived from or included in your personal information after you update or delete it, but not in a way that would identify you personally. After the retention period has expired, the Personal Data will be deleted. Therefore, the right of access, the right of erasure, the right of rectification and the right of data portability cannot be exercised after the expiration of the retention period.

Transfer of information

Depending on your location, data transfers may involve the transfer and storage of your information in a country other than your own. You have the right to learn about the legal basis for data transfers to a country outside the European Union or to an international organization governed by international law or established by two or more countries, such as the UN, and the security measures we have in place to protect your information. If such a transfer occurs, you can learn more about it by referring to the relevant sections of this Policy or by contacting us using the information provided in the Contact Us section.

Users' rights

You may exercise certain rights regarding your data processed by us. Specifically, you have the right to do the following: (i) you have the right to withdraw your consent if you have previously given your consent to the processing of your data; (ii) you have the right to object to the processing of your data if the processing is carried out on a legal basis other than consent; (iii) you have the right to know whether data is being processed by us, to obtain disclosure of certain aspects of the processing and to obtain a copy of the data that is the subject of the processing; (iv) you have the right to verify the accuracy of your data and to request that it be updated or rectified; (v) you have the right, in certain circumstances, to restrict the processing of your data, in which case we will not process your data for any purpose other than storage; (vi) you have the right, in certain circumstances, to request that we erase your personal data; (vii) you have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, if technically feasible, to have it freely transferred to another controller. This provision applies provided that your data is processed by automated means and that the processing is based on your consent, on a contract of which you are a part or on pre-contractual obligations.

The right to object to processing

If personal data are processed in the public interest, in the exercise of a public power conferred on us or for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us, you may object to such processing by providing a ground relating to your particular situation in support of the objection. However, you must know that in case your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may object to such processing at any time without giving any reason. To find out whether we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you can refer to the relevant sections of this document.

Breach of Privacy
