With respect to applicable laws, this privacy policy also will alert you to any particular and additional information and rights you have pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation effective 25 May 2018 (“GDPR”) that are applicable to information that SlackHigh may collect from you (or “Personal Data” under GDPR) if you are located in the European Union GDPR. Under GDPR you are defined as a “Data Subject” and SlackHigh is a “Data Controller” for Personal Data that SlackHigh obtains and “Processes” pursuant to this policy.

This policy applies to information we collect:

• On the Sites.Under GDPR, this policy also applies to Personal Data to the extent that you as a Data Subject under GDPR provide that Personal Data to or it is collected from you on the websites of certain SlackHigh partners who provide a service registering you for SlackHigh events such as SlackHigh (e.g. Citrix, AWS Chime) and those partners in their capacity as Data Controllers share any event attendee/participant Personal Data with SlackHigh.
• In email, text, and other electronic messages between you and the Sites.
• Through mobile and desktop applications you download from the Sites or in connection with the Services, which provide dedicated non-browser-based interaction between you and the Sites.
• From third parties, whether they are partners or vendors.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your only recourse is not to use our Sites or Services. By accessing or using the Sites or Services, you agree to this privacy policy.

This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy below). Your continued use of these Sites or Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

GDPR LAWFUL BASES FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA OF DATA SUBJECTS

Under GDPR, SlackHigh may only Process the Personal Data of a Data Subject lawfully if SlackHigh has at least one of six lawful bases for Processing the Personal Data. Currently, under this version of the privacy policy, SlackHigh relies on at least one of the following legal bases to process Personal Data under GDPR:

• In order to perform pursuant to one or more legal agreements (contracts) with you,
• With your consent, and
• Pursuant to a Legitimate Interest, in which SlackHigh considers the purpose it has for Processing your Personal Data, whether the Processing is necessary for that Purpose, and whether your own personal interests as a Data Subject outweigh SlackHigh’s purpose in Processing your Personal Data.

(As a reminder, if you are not a Data Subject providing your Personal Data to SlackHigh from within the European Union, GDPR does not apply to you.)  

INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Sites and Services, including information:

• By which you may be personally identified, such as name, postal address, email address, or telephone number (“personal information”);
• That is about you but individually does not identify you, such as your company name and job title; and/or
• About your Internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Sites, and usage details.

(Under GDPR, SlackHigh collects Personal Data from Data Subjects from within the EU, and Personal Data is considered to be broader and to include more categories of information than how we generally refer to “personal information” in this policy. We will be specific when we are discussing GDPR and activities we undertake related to Personal Data under GDPR.)

We collect this information:

• Directly from you when you provide it to us.
• Automatically as you navigate through the site using cookies and other tracking technologies defined and discussed in more detail below. Information collected automatically may include usage details, email address, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies and other tracking technologies.

3. Speed up user searches.
4. Recognize you when you return to our Sites.

GDPR PROCESS FOR EXERCISING DATA SUBJECT’S RIGHTS IN PERSONAL DATA

For those users of our Services and Sites from within the European Union and for which GDPR applies, we have created the following mechanisms and practices to provide you with the following control over your personal information that comprises GDPR Personal Data:

WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS?

By law, if any of your personal information/Personal Data provided to SlackHigh is subject to GDPR in the European Union, you have a number of rights when it comes to your personal information/Personal Data. Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country.

IMPORTANT: When you contact SlackHigh to exercise your rights described below, it is very important for security verification and other purposes that you use any email address that you know is associated with the personal information/Personal Data about which you are contacting SlackHigh.

1. THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING

You have the right to object to certain types of processing, including processing for direct marketing (i.e. if you no longer want to be contacted with potential opportunities).

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT: If you want to object to certain types of processing, please direct your communication to westleybartow@gmail.comproviding specific and detailed information regarding your objection and requested action.  

2. THE RIGHT TO BE INFORMED

You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent, and easily understandable information about how we use your Personal Data and your rights. This is why we are providing you with the information in this privacy policy and also are available if you want information that you do not believe this privacy policy provides.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT: If you have questions about the privacy policy or how SlackHigh may be processing your Personal Data, please direct your communication to westleybartow@gmail.com and please be specific and detailed about your questions and SlackHigh will promptly address those questions.  

3. THE RIGHT OF ACCESS

You have the right to obtain access to your Personal Data (if we are processing it), and certain other information about our privacy practices with respect to your Personal Data (similar to that provided in this privacy policy).

This is so you are aware and can check that we are using your information in accordance with GDPR or any other applicable data protection laws.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT: If you have questions specific to your personal information/Personal Data and how SlackHigh is using it in accordance with GDPR or other applicable laws, please direct your communication to westleybartow@gmail.com and please be specific and detailed about your questions and SlackHigh will promptly address those questions.

4. THE RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION

You are entitled to have your information corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT: If you believe your personal information/Personal Data processed by SlackHigh is incorrect and needs to be updated or otherwise corrected, please check your settings with respect to your account, and if you still believe your Personal Data is inaccurate, direct your communication to westleybartow@gmail.com

5. THE RIGHT TO ERASURE

This is also known as “the right to be forgotten” and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your personal information/Personal Data where there’s no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT: If you no longer want SlackHigh to have and process your personal information/Personal Data, please direct your communication to westleybartow@gmail.com

(NOTE: Consistent with GDPR, SlackHigh may retain a trivial amount of information to keep a record of its compliance with your request.)

6. THE RIGHT TO RESTRICT PROCESSING

You have rights to “block” or suppress the further use of your personal information/Personal Data that SlackHigh processes. When processing is restricted, we can still store your personal information/Personal Data, but may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be “blocked” to make sure the restriction is respected in future.

For clarity, if you do make these requests, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal information/Personal Data with your consent up to that point is unlawful.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT: If you no longer want to restrict SlackHigh from processing your personal information/Personal Data, please direct your communication to westleybartow@gmail.com.  

7. THE RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have rights to obtain and reuse your personal information/Personal Data for your own purposes across different services. For example, if you decide to switch to a new provider of services like the Services from SlackHigh that you subscribed to, this enables you to move, copy, or transfer your personal information/Personal Data easily between our IT systems and theirs safely and securely, without affecting its usability.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT: If you want SlackHigh to export your personal information/Personal Data for portability, please direct your communication to westleybartow@gmail.com 

(NOTE: SlackHigh will retain and continue to process your personal information/Personal Data unless you also request to be forgotten or request restricted or blocked processing.)

8. THE RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT

You have the right to lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your personal information/Personal Data with your national data protection regulator. However, we hope you will contact SlackHigh first (westleybartow@gmail.com) so SlackHigh can try to address your complaint directly.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT: If you want to lodge a complaint with SlackHigh, please direct your communication to westleybartow@gmail.com.  

1. The right to withdraw consent

If you have given your consent to anything we do with your personal information/Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This includes your right to withdraw consent to us using your personal information/Personal Data for marketing purposes.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT:  If you want SlackHigh to withdraw your consent to process your personal information/Personal Data, please direct your communication to westleybartow@gmail.com.

We usually act on requests and provide personal information/Personal Data free of charge, but may charge a reasonable fee to cover our administrative costs of providing the personal information/Personal Data for:

• Baseless or excessive/repeated requests, or
• Further copies of the same personal information/Personal Data. Alternatively, we also may be entitled to refuse to act on the request.

Please consider your request responsibly before submitting it. We will respond as soon as we can. Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we will come back to you and let you know.

Most importantly, PLEASE UNDERSTAND that if you are a paid/unpaid subscriber to a SlackHigh Service, many types of personal information/Personal Data are necessary for SlackHigh to maintain and continue your account, along with the subscription to any Services which that personal information/Personal Data is associated. If the personal information/Personal Data can no longer be used by SlackHigh for that purpose, it may necessitate terminating the account and/or subscription (without any refund) and discontinue access to and the use of the Service and/or Sites to which the personal information/Personal Data is associated. We will use reasonable efforts to advise you of any such adverse consequences of restricting or removing our ability to maintain accounts and subscriptions by requests related to Personal Data, e.g. removal, restriction, blocking, etc.

SLACKHIGH’S RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA UNDER GDPR AND OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS

We only retain your personal information/Personal Data for as long as is necessary for us to use your information as described above or to comply with our legal obligations and legitimate interests. Please be advised that this means that we may retain some of your personal information/Personal Data after you cease to use our Services. For instance, we may retain your data as necessary to meet our legal obligations, such as for tax and accounting purposes.

When determining the relevant period in which we retain or establish/revise periods for retaining personal information/Personal Data, we will take the following factors into account:

• Our contractual obligations and rights in relation to the information involved;
• Legal obligation(s) under applicable law to retain data for a certain period of time or with respect to pending or anticipated legal actions;
• Our legitimate interest where we weigh your interest in controlling your Personal Data and against our lawful purpose in processing your Personal Data;
• Statutes of limitations under applicable law(s);
• If you have made a request to have your information deleted; and
