Data Collection

We collect your information through our Website, social media accounts, and email and process it as a data controller.

Visitor data: 

(a) Contact Information. When you submit your personal data via our social media or email address to contact us (including applying for a job on the Website), we may collect some information about you. Such data may include your full name, email address, mailing address, digital photograph, and any other details you provide to us via available options.

If you enable that feature, your current location will be stored locally on your device, which will be used by the Website to serve you certain content tied to your location. If you elect to have your location-based searches saved to your history, we will store such information on our servers.

Grounds for Processing

We collect and process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR.

The GDPR provides an exclusive list of lawful bases allowing us to process your personal data. During personal data processing, we rely only on four of them, namely:

Article 6.1(a): consent 

We collect the information you choose to give us, and we process it under your consent. You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time.

Please remember that the withdrawal of consent does NOT automatically mean that the processing before the withdrawal is considered unlawful. You may withdraw the consent to the processing of your personal data by sending us an email at support@socialboss.org or by contacting us in any other way convenient for you.

Article 6.1(f): legitimate interest 

We process your personal data to protect our legitimate interests, such as:

• preventing fraud,
• ensuring the security of our Website, and
• providing you with a seamless user experience.

We only collect and use the strictly necessary data to achieve these purposes and do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Article 6.1(b): performance of a contract 

When you provide us with personal data to purchase the services on our Website, this can be considered as a request to form a contract or to perform a contract between you and us. However, we may ask you for clear consent in case of doubt.

Article 6.1(c): legal obligation 

We process your personal data to fulfill our legal obligations, such as complying with tax or regulatory requirements. In case you send us a request to exercise your rights under the GDPR, we may ask you for some personal data we already have to identify you and achieve compliance with the applicable law.

Use of Your Personal Data

When acting as a data controller, we use your personal data for the purposes listed in the table below, where we also detail the type of personal data processed, legal bases we rely on to do so, third parties with whom we may share your personal data and information as to source of such data:

We may also use Non-Personal Data, as listed in the “Data Collection” section. This information is used to analyze website usage, improve functionality, and optimize our services.

Please, note that upon processing of payments using services of a payment processor, such payment provider may collect certain personal data it considers as necessary for provision of services. Such collection of personal data is regulated under the rules and policies of payment processors.

We advise you to access the payment processors’ websites carefully and always check their Privacy Policies and rules regarding the collection of your personal data. You can read Fondy’s Privacy Policy, which outlines its commitment to protecting your personal information here.

Data Security, Integrity and Retention

As a data controller, we store and process your personal data until we do not need it for any of the purposes defined in this Policy unless longer storage is required or expressly permitted by law.

Notwithstanding any of the periods of data storage, you may request to delete your personal data by sending us an email at support@socialboss.org.

We have implemented appropriate organizational, technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification. We regularly review our security procedures and policies to consider appropriate new technology and methods.

This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection, and other access and authentication controls.

In particular, we use HTTPS to protect your personal data.

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is an internet communication protocol that protects the integrity and confidentiality of data between your computer and the Website. The use of HTTPS makes sure your communication with us is:

• Encrypted — The data you exchange with us is secure from eavesdroppers. That means that when you are browsing the Website, nobody can track your activities across multiple pages, or steal the data exchange between your computer and the Website.
• Integral — The use of HTTPS preserves the integrity of data. Your data cannot be modified or corrupted during transfer.
• Authenticated — HTTPS protocol authenticates your communication with us. This ensures that you are always communicating with our servers.

However, the security of information also depends on the security of your device, network, and passwords you use, therefore, please make sure you take appropriate measures to protect your data.

If you believe your personal data has been compromised, please contact us at support@socialboss.org.

If we become aware of a personal data breach, which is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, then we will communicate it to you and other data subjects according to the Article 34 of the GDPR.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

There are many features necessary to provide you with our services that we cannot complete ourselves; thus, we seek help from third parties. We may grant some service providers access to your personal data, in whole or part, to provide the necessary services.

Therefore, we may share and disclose your personal data to other data processors (“service providers”):

• Google Analytics (Google LLC, USA): for analytics purposes. You may read its Privacy Policy here;
• Fondy (FONDY LTD, United Kingdom): to process user payments and enable users to purchase subscriptions for the Company’s services.
• We may also use other payment systems that are integrated into our Website to process user payments. Please, read the privacy policies on their websites before sharing your personal data.

As part of our business operations, we may engage various specialists who may receive your personal data, including technical, sales, analytics, legal, and marketing professionals, to provide you with better client service and ensure the accuracy and transparency of our business. Collectively, these specialists and partner websites are referred to as Contractors.

Data Transfer Outside the European Economic Area

We may transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) that are not deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection under Article 45 of GDPR (adequacy decision).

To share the data outside the EEA, we rely on the adequacy decision by the European Commission or the Data Privacy Framework participation of the recipient. 

If the recipient does not participate in the Data Privacy Framework and its country is not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data, we adopt Standard Contractual Clauses based on legislation assessments for data protection during transfer and storage.

In such cases, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are implemented in accordance with the GDPR to protect your personal data. When we transfer your personal data to third parties, we always comply with the requirements of the GDPR.

Where possible, we always enter into Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) with these third parties to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected.

We have no control over the content and practices of other websites, and therefore we are not responsible for any actions or policies of third-party websites.
