If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your personal data on the following legal bases as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation:
Dot Connect Apps does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data, the purposes for which it was collected, and any legal or regulatory requirements for record-keeping. Specifically, contact information and correspondence related to inquiries is retained for the duration of our relationship with you and for a reasonable period afterward. Contractual and project-related records are retained for the duration of the contract and for a period after its conclusion as required by applicable law. Website usage data in aggregated form may be retained indefinitely, but data that could identify individual visitors is de-identified or deleted after a reasonable period. When information is no longer needed, we delete it securely or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL protocols, secure server infrastructure with role-based access controls limited to personnel who need the information to perform their duties, regular security assessments and vulnerability testing, and employee training on data protection and privacy practices. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal data using commercially acceptable means, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials you may use to access our systems.
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including China where our company is registered and the United States where certain service providers may be located. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country of residence. Where such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws. For transfers from the European Economic Area, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or other recognised transfer mechanisms, to ensure that your data receives an adequate level of protection.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding your personal data: right of access to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you; right to rectification to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data; right to erasure (right to be forgotten) to request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it; right to restriction of processing in certain circumstances, such as while we verify the accuracy of data you have contested; right to data portability to request that we transfer your personal data to another service provider in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format; right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including direct marketing; and rights relating to automated decision-making not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing where those decisions produce legal effects concerning you.
If you are a resident of California, United States, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act: right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you; right to request deletion of personal information, subject to certain exceptions; right to opt out of the sale of your personal information (Dot Connect Apps does not sell personal information); and right to non-discrimination for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
