EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (EEA) RESIDENTS

If you are an EEA resident, you have additional rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Angoname.com Inc. is a “Controller” of your personal information thereunder, and you are a “Data Subject”.

You may indicate your communication preferences and make individual rights requests relating to your personal information by contacting us by email at the address below. When we receive an individual GDPR rights request via email, we may take steps to verify your identity before complying with the request, to protect your privacy and security.

The rights and procedures you have recourse to under the GDPR are:

  • Right to withdraw consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information collected on the basis of your consent at any time. Your withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of our processing based on consent before your withdrawal.

  • Right of access to and rectification of your personal information. You have a right to request that we provide you a copy of your personal information held by us. This information will be provided without undue delay, but subject to any reasonable fee associated with gathering the information (as permitted by law), unless such provision adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others. You may also request us to rectify or update any of your personal information that is inaccurate. Your right to access and rectification shall only be limited where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or where the rights of persons other than you would be violated.

  • Right to erasure. You have the right to request erasure of your personal information that: (a) is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; (b) was collected in relation to processing to which you previously consented, but later withdrew such consent; or (c) was collected in relation to processing activities to which you object, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for our processing. If we have made your personal information public and are obliged to erase the personal information, we will, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other parties that are processing your personal information (if any) that you have requested the erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of your personal information. The foregoing is subject to limitations by relevant data protection laws.

  • Right to data portability. If we process your personal information based on a contract with you or based on your consent, or the processing is carried out by automated means, you may request to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have us transfer your personal information directly to another “controller”, where technically feasible, unless exercise of this right adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others. A “controller” is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of your personal information. • Right to restriction of processing. You have the right to restrict or object to us processing your personal information where one of the following applies:

    • You contest the accuracy of your personal information that we processed. In such instances, we will restrict processing during the period necessary for us to verify the accuracy of your personal information.

    • The processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information and request the restriction of its use instead.

    • We no longer need your personal information for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by you to establish, exercise or defense of legal claims.

    • You have objected to processing, pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of our processing overrides your rights.

 

Restricted personal information shall only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. We will inform you if the restriction is lifted.

  • Notification of erasure, rectification and restriction.We will communicate any rectification or erasure of your personal information or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom your personal information has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves unreasonable effort. We will inform you about such recipients if you request this information.

  • Right to object to processing.Where the processing of your personal information is based on consent, contract or legitimate interests you may restrict or object, at any time, to the processing of your personal information as permitted by applicable law. We can continue to process your personal information if it is necessary for the defense of legal claims, or for any other exceptions permitted by applicable law.

  • Right to lodge a complaint.If you believe that we have infringed your rights, we encourage you to contact us first at the email address below, so that we can try to resolve the matter informally. You can also complain about our processing of your personal information to the relevant data protection authority. You can complain in the EU member state where you live or work, or in the place where the alleged breach of data protection law has taken place.

  • Data minimization.We will try to limit the storage of your personal information to the extent that storage is necessary to serve the purpose(s) for which the personal information was processed, to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and as required or permitted by law.

 

Your rights to personal information are not absolute. Access may be denied when:

  • Denial of access is required or authorized by law;

  • Granting access would have a negative impact on other’s privacy;

  • Granting access would have a negative impact on other’s privacy;

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may change this privacy policy and update the last version date above. Note from the Founders: It is not our intention to mine your data for profit, to lock your data into our platform, or to sell your data to third parties. In fact, the system we are designing enables you to freely publish exactly the data you want to publish and nothing more. You are able to use our site without ever giving us any contact information other than email – simply create an account, connect your blockchain wallet and take advantage of all the tools we have developed to buy and manage blockchain domain names. When you are finished, you can take the domains with you – we do not own or control the domain names once they have been transferred to your personal blockchain address. In this way you are truly in control of your name and your data. Any data you wish to publish you may publish. Any data you do not want us to have, you can simply decide not to provide it. You may even seek other providers in order to add data to or extend the functionality of your blockchain name. Outside of data automatically collected by our hosting provider, the email address you provide, and analytic data for site optimization and marketing purposes, we aim to collect as little data about you as possible. We hope you enjoy using our site – which requires limited personal information and no data lock-in to use and enjoy.
