Upon request, Hallar shall, as soon as possible after the request, inform you of the third parties with whom your personal data have been shared by providing you a more detailed list.
In addition, we may disclose your personal data if this is required by law, or if we determine in good faith that such disclosure is required in order to comply with any pending judicial inquiry, judicial order or litigation and/or to safeguard our rights.
Processors and sub-processors of Hallar always act under the responsibility of Hallar. If Hallar engages processors or sub-processors, this will always be done in accordance with a data processing agreement that meets the requirements of the GDPR. We require all our processors or sub-processors to take appropriate technical and organizational (including security) measures to protect your personal data in line with our policies. We do not allow our processors or sub-processors to use your personal data for their own purposes. In the event we disclose your personal data as described above, we will implement appropriate safeguards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of your personal data.
Your personal data will only be viewed and made available to processors, sub-processors, employees and other third parties on a “need-to-know” basis, limited to the extent necessary to perform their services.
In principle, Hallar does not transfer your personal data to third countries located outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") unless you are located outside the EEA and are visiting our Platform and/or Website from outside the EEA. It is possible that Hallar -through its (sub-)processors- does transfer your personal data to countries outside the EEA. In this event, Hallar will only transfer your personal data outside the EEA in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation and subject to appropriate safeguards.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism(s) used by us when transferring personal data out of the EEA.
Hallar may use your personal data for direct marketing purposes. It is possible that your personal data will be subject to profiling for marketing purposes. This enables Hallar to keep you informed about its products, updates, events, etc. You give your explicit consent for this, but you may at any time withdraw this consent and object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling, to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing (free of charge).

Hallar is committed to trying to make sure that your personal data is secure and makes all reasonable and appropriate efforts to protect the confidentiality of your personal data.

Please contact us if you would like more information on the specific measures taken.
Despite the above measures taken by us, you should be aware that there are always risks associated with sending personal data over the internet. The security and protection of your personal data can never be fully guaranteed, nor can we guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal data for improper purposes.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes determined in section 4 of this privacy policy, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.

Afterwards it is still possible that they can be found in our back-ups or archives (in principle up to one week after such personal data are no longer actively processed), but they will no longer be actively processed in a file.

You can exercise these rights by sending an e-mail to: privacy@hallar.io.

Hallar will inform you of the applicable fee before charging it.
Hallar reserves the right to request a copy of the front side of your identity card if Hallar is unable to identify you or if Hallar has reason to doubt your identity. You may, however, blackline any information which is not necessary for identification or verification purposes.
If and to the extent provided for in the applicable data protection legislation, you have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority should the processing of your personal data violate the applicable regulations.
