Wanneer persoonsgegevens aan dergelijke ontvangers worden doorgegeven, met name aan ontvangers in de VS, zullen wij, zoals wettelijk vereist, ervoor zorgen dat uw privacyrechten adequaat worden beschermd. Dit wordt gewaarborgd doordat ofwel de Europese Commissie heeft vastgesteld dat het land waarnaar persoonsgegevens worden doorgegeven een passend beschermingsniveau biedt (art. 45 AVG), ofwel de doorgifte onderworpen is aan passende waarborgen (bijvoorbeeld standaardbepalingen inzake gegevensbescherming van de Europese Unie die met de ontvanger zijn overeengekomen) (art. 46 AVG) Daarnaast zijn wij voornemens om, waar nodig, aanvullende maatregelen met ontvangers overeen te komen om een passend niveau van gegevensbescherming te waarborgen. Zie ook art. 16 f. nFADP betreffende de doorgifte van persoonsgegevens buiten Zwitserland.

Copies of appropriate safeguards (to the extent we rely on such) and a list of recipients located outside the EEA/Switzerland can be requested under datenschutz@lovoo.com. Please note that such copy may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information.

15. Additional Privacy Information for Certain Jurisdictions

Residents of certain jurisdictions have additional rights under applicable privacy laws, as described in this section.

If you are a resident of the European Union, you have the following rights under GDPR provided that the legal requirements therein are met:

Right of access – You may request information about the processing of your personal data and a copy of the personal data undergoing processing insofar as such copy does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others and no other exception applies.

Right to rectification – You may request correction of your personal data that is inaccurate and/or completion of such data which is incomplete.

Right to erasure – You may request deletion of your personal data, in particular where

the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed,

you have withdrawn your consent on which the processing was based and there is no other legal basis for the processing,

you objected to the processing which is based on the legal basis “legitimate interests” and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing or you objected to the processing for direct marketing purposes,

your personal data has been unlawfully processed or

your personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

The right to erasure, however, does not apply in particular where the processing of your personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing – You may request restriction of processing

for the period in which we verify the accuracy of your personal data if you contested the accuracy of the personal data,

where the processing is unlawful and you request restriction of processing instead of erasure of the data,

where we no longer need the personal data, but you require the data for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, or

if you objected to processing which is based on the legal basis “legitimate interests” until it has been verified whether our legitimate grounds override your interests, rights, and freedoms.

Right to data portability – You may request to receive your personal data, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format and transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where the processing is based on consent or the performance of a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means; in these cases, you may also request to have the personal data transmitted directly to another controller where this is technically feasible.

Furthermore, you have the following rights:

Right to withdraw consent – You may withdraw your consent at any time for the future where processing is based on your consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Right to object – You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on our or a third party’s legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). We then will no longer process your personal data for the purpose to which you have objected, unless we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Further, you have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will process your personal data no longer for such purposes.

Right to lodge a complaint – You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of an alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.

The data protection authority competent for us is:

B. Swiss Data Protection Law

Your right of access – You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal data. This right always applies but there are some exemptions to its application, which means you may not always receive all the information you have requested. When you request data, this is known as making a data subject access request (DSAR).

Your right to rectification – You have the right to ask us to rectify personal data you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.

Your right to erasure – You have the right to ask us to erase your personal data in certain circumstances. We have the right to refuse to comply with a request for erasure if we are processing the personal data for one of the following reasons:

To exercise the right of freedom of expression and information.

To comply with a legal obligation.

To perform a task in the public interest or exercise official authority.

For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific research, historical research or statistical purposes.

For the exercise or defence of legal claims.

Your right to restriction of processing – You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. In such case, we will still hold the data but will not process it any further. This right is an alternative to the right to erasure. If one of the following conditions applies, you may exercise the right to restrict processing:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested.

Processing of the personal data is unlawful.

We no longer need the personal data for processing, but the personal data is required for part of a legal process.

The right to object has been exercised and processing is restricted pending a decision on the status of the processing.

Your right to object to processing – You have the right to object to processing in certain circumstances. You can also object if the processing is for a task carried out in the public interest, the exercise of official authority vested in us, or our legitimate interests (or those of a third party).

Your right to object to direct marketing – You can also object at any time to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes (“advertising objection”). Please take into account that, for organizational reasons, there may be an overlap between your revocation and the use of your data in the context of an already ongoing campaign.

Your right to data portability – This right only applies if we are processing information based on your consent or for the performance of a contract and the processing is automated.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights, please use the information under Contact Us. Please also ensure that when you do so, you provide sufficient information to enable us to clearly identify you.

We and our third-party service providers use cookies, pixels, local storage objects, log files, and other mechanisms to automatically collect browsing, activity, device, and other similar information within our Services. We use this information to, for example, analyze and understand how users access, use, and interact with our Services, to identify and resolve bugs and errors in our Services, to assess secure, protect, optimize and improve the performance of our Services, as well as for marketing and analytics purposes, and to personalize content in our Services. To manage your preferences regarding cookies, targeted advertising, and other similar tracking mechanisms within our Services, please see Section 6. Your Privacy Choices below.

Cookies. ‛Cookies’ zijn kleine tekstbestanden die worden opgeslagen op het apparaat van een gebruiker (zoals een computer of smartphone) door een website die zij bezoeken. Cookies worden aangemaakt door de server van de website en verzonden naar de browser van de gebruiker, waar ze worden opgeslagen voor toekomstig gebruik. Sommige cookies stellen ons in staat om u het navigeren van onze Diensten te vergemakkelijken, terwijl andere worden gebruikt om een sneller inlogproces mogelijk te maken, de veiligheid en prestaties van de Diensten te ondersteunen of ons de mogelijkheid geven om geaggregeerde en statistische informatie over gebruikersactiviteiten binnen de Diensten bij te houden.

Analytics van derden. Om het gebruik van onze Diensten te evalueren, kunnen wij kunnen gebruik maken van geautomatiseerde apparaten, toepassingen en tools die worden beheerd door externe bedrijven, zoals Google Analytics. Deze externe bedrijven kunnen cookies, pixels en andere traceertechnologieën gebruiken om gebruiksgegevens over onze Diensten te verzamelen en ons rapporten en statistieken te leveren die ons helpen het gebruik van onze Diensten te evalueren en de prestaties en gebruikerservaringen te verbeteren.

Voor meer informatie over de privacypraktijken van Google kunt u het privacybeleid van Google nalezen op https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. U kunt ook de Google Analytics Opt-out browser add-on downloaden om te voorkomen dat uw gegevens worden gebruikt door Google Analytics op https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Advertenties van derden. Wij werken samen met externe advertentienetwerken, analysebedrijven, marketingpartners, mobiele advertentienetwerken en anderen (‛externe advertentiebedrijven’) om de in onze Diensten weergegeven inhoud en advertenties te personaliseren, maar ook om onze advertenties op websites van derden te beheren. Wij en deze externe advertentiebedrijven kunnen cookies, pixeltags, SDK’s en andere tools gebruiken om informatie over browse- en andere activiteiten te verzamelen binnen onze Diensten (en op sites en services van derden), evenals IP-adressen, unieke ID’s, cookie- en advertentie-ID’s en andere online identificatiegegevens. Wij en deze externe advertentiebedrijven gebruiken deze informatie om u relevantere advertenties en inhoud te bieden binnen onze Diensten en op sites van derden, en om het succes van dergelijke advertenties en inhoud te evalueren.

Apparaatoverschrijdend gebruik. Wij en onze externe dienstverleners kunnen de informatie die wij over u verzamelen (hetzij rechtstreeks van onze Sites of Mobiele Apps, via uw appara(a)t(-en) of van bronnen van derden) gebruiken om ons en onze externe dienstverleners te helpen bij het identificeren van andere apparaten die u gebruikt (bijv. een mobiele telefoon, tablet, andere computer, etc.). Wij en onze externe dienstverleners kunnen het apparaatoverschrijdend gebruik en andere informatie die wij over u inwinnen tevens gebruiken om gerichte reclame aan te bieden of inhoud binnen onze Diensten te personaliseren. Als u zich wilt afmelden voor apparaatoverschrijdende advertenties, kunt u de onderstaande instructies volgen. Let op: als u zich afmeldt voor deze gerichte advertentiecookies, is de afmelding specifiek voor de webbrowser, de app of het apparaat van waaruit u de afmelding hebt geopend. Als u meerdere apparaten of webbrowsers gebruikt, moet u zich voor elke browser en elk apparaat dat u gebruikt apart afmelden.

Aangepaste lijsten en matching. Wij kunnen bepaalde informatie uit onze klantenlijsten (zoals uw naam, e-mailadres en andere contactgegevens) delen of beschikbaar stellen aan derden zodat wij advertenties en inhoud op websites, platforms en diensten van derden beter op u kunnen afstemmen. In sommige gevallen kunnen deze derden ons helpen om onze klantenlijsten te verrijken met aanvullende demografische of andere soortgelijke informatie, zodat wij onze reclame- en marketingcampagnes beter kunnen richten.

6. Your Privacy Choices

Managing Your Preferences. We make available several ways for you to manage your preferences and privacy choices, as described below:

Account and Profile. You can review and update some of the personal information we maintain about you by logging into your account and updating your account and profile information.

Marketing Communications. We may send periodic promotional emails, content, or other similar communications to you. You may opt-out of these communications by following the instructions provided to you in the communication. If you opt-out of receiving promotional content from us, we may still send you communications about your account or any services you have requested or received from us. Additionally, you can manage your communication preferences in your account and profile settings.

Push Notifications. You can manage the type of push notifications you receive from us by adjusting your mobile device settings or by modifying the settings within our Mobile Apps.

Cookie Preferences/Targeted Advertising. We also make available several ways for you to manage your preferences regarding cookies, targeted advertising, and other similar tracking mechanisms within our Services. Many of these choices are browser and device specific, which means that you may need to set the preference for each browser and device you use to access our Services. In addition, if you delete or block cookies, you may need to reapply these preferences to each browser and/or device. Further, opting out of cookies and advertising does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising content from us, and you may continue to receive generic or “contextual” ads from us.

Cookie Settings. To prevent cookies from tracking your activity on our Sites or visits across multiple websites, you can set your browser to block certain cookies or notify you when a cookie is set. You can also delete cookies. The “Help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your device from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to delete cookies. Visitors to our Sites who disable cookies will be able to browse the Site, but some features may not function.

Browser Signals. To the extent required by applicable law, if our Sites detect that your browser is transmitting an opt-out preference signal, such as a “global privacy control” (or GPC) signal, we will apply that signal to opt that particular browser on your device out of targeting cookies on our Sites. If you come to our Sites from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to apply GPC for that browser and/or device as well.

Industry Ad Choice Programs. You can also control how participating third-party ad companies use the information that they collect about your visits to our Sites and those of third parties, in order to display more relevant targeted advertising to you. For more information and to opt out of receiving targeted ads from participating third-party ad networks go to:

U kunt een verzoek indienen om de meeste van uw privacyrechten onder de privacywetten van de Amerikaanse staat uit te oefenen door contact met ons op te nemen via datenschutz@lovoo.com . Om u af te melden voor verkoop en gerichte reclame door ons, kunt u uw cookie-instellingen aanpassen of een opt-out voorkeurssignaal downloaden, zoals de “global privacy control” (of GPC).

Wanneer u een verzoek indient, zullen wij stappen ondernemen om uw identiteit en uw verzoek te verifiëren door de door u verstrekte informatie te vergelijken met de informatie die wij in onze bestanden hebben. In sommige gevallen of wanneer dit nodig is om uw verzoek te verwerken, kunnen wij u om aanvullende informatie vragen om uw identiteit te verifiëren. Indien wij na een te goeder trouw gedane poging niet in staat zijn om uw identiteit te verifiëren, kunnen wij het verzoek weigeren en, in voorkomend geval, de grond voor de weigering uitleggen. Als wij uw verzoek weigeren, kunt u beroep tegen onze beslissing aantekenen door ons een e-mail te sturen.

Voor zover vereist door de toepasselijke Amerikaanse privacywetgeving, kunt u ook een ander aanwijzen als uw gemachtigde om verzoeken in te dienen en namens u te handelen. Gevolmachtigde agenten zullen in hun eerste communicatie met ons een bewijs van hun volmacht moeten leveren; tevens kunnen wij eisen dat de relevante consument zijn eigen identiteit en de volmacht van de gevolmachtigde agent direct verifieert.

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information. LOVOO does not sell personal information in exchange for monetary consideration.

These categories include:

Clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link available within our Services;

Adjusting your preferences in our consent management or cookie settings; or

Enabling a recognized opt-out preference signal such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser.

We may collect certain categories of Sensitive Personal Information, such as account login credentials, payment information, precise geolocation data (where enabled), messages exchanged between users, and information relating to a user’s sex life or sexual orientation.

Wij verzamelen, gebruiken en verstrekken geen ‛gevoelige persoonlijke informatie’ voor andere doeleinden dan toegestaan door de CCPA. Dienovereenkomstig gebruiken en verstrekken wij gevoelige persoonlijke gegevens alleen als dit redelijkerwijs noodzakelijk en proportioneel is: (i) om onze door u gevraagde diensten te leveren; (ii) om de veiligheid en integriteit te helpen waarborgen, waaronder het voorkomen, opsporen en onderzoeken van beveiligingsincidenten; (iii) om kwaadwillig, frauduleus, bedrieglijk of illegaal gedrag op te sporen, te voorkomen en te vervolgen; (iv) om de kwaliteit en veiligheid van onze diensten te verifiëren of te handhaven; (v) om te voldoen aan onze wettelijke verplichtingen; (vi) aan onze dienstverleners die namens ons diensten uitvoeren; en (vii) voor andere doeleinden dan het afleiden van kenmerken over u.

Accordingly, no separate “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” option is required or available.

Bewaring. Wij bewaren de door ons verzamelde persoonlijke informatie alleen voor zover dat redelijkerwijs noodzakelijk is voor de hierboven beschreven doeleinden, of zoals anderszins aan u is bekendgemaakt op het moment van verzamelen. Zo bewaren wij uw accountgegevens voor zolang u een actieve account bij ons hebt en aanvullende informatie als nodig om te voldoen aan onze belasting-, boekhoudkundige en administratieve verplichtingen, om u de diensten te verlenen waarom u hebt verzocht, evenals gedurende een aanvullende periode indien dat nodig is om onze rechten te beschermen, te verdedigen of vast te stellen, ons te verdedigen tegen mogelijke vorderingen en te voldoen aan onze wettelijke verplichtingen. In bepaalde gevallen kunnen wij, in plaats van uw persoonlijke gegevens te verwijderen, deze anonimiseren of aggregeren en vervolgens gebruiken in overeenstemming met de CCPA.

Sales and Sharing of Personal Information. The CCPA defines “sale” as disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “sell” or “share” the following categories of personal information: identifiers; commercial information; gender; age range; location data (no precise geolocation); and Internet and network activity information. We may disclose these categories to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and social networks for purposes of marketing and advertising and to improve and measure our ad campaigns. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, nor do we sell or share personal information about individuals we know are under age sixteen (16).

Privacyrechten in Californië. De CCPA biedt inwoners van Californië specifieke rechten met betrekking tot persoonlijke informatie. Behoudens bepaalde voorwaarden en uitzonderingen hebben inwoners van Californië de volgende rechten met betrekking tot hun persoonlijke gegevens:

Recht op kennis. U hebt het recht om op te vragen: (i) de categorieën of persoonlijke gegevens die wij over u hebben verzameld; (ii) de categorieën bronnen waaruit de persoonlijke gegevens zijn verzameld; (iii) onze zakelijke of commerciële doeleinden voor het verzamelen, verkopen of delen van persoonlijke gegevens; (iv) de categorieën van derden aan wie wij persoonlijke gegevens hebben verstrekt; en (v) een kopie van de specifieke stukken persoonlijke gegevens die wij over u hebben verzameld.

Recht op correctie. U hebt het recht om ons te verzoeken onnauwkeurigheden in uw persoonlijke gegevens te corrigeren.

Recht op afmelding voor verkopen en delen. U hebt het recht om u af te melden voor het ‛verkopen’ en ‛delen’ van uw persoonlijke gegevens, zoals deze termen zijn gedefinieerd in de CCPA.

Recht om gebruik en verstrekking te beperken. U hebt het recht om het gebruik en de verstrekking van uw gevoelige persoonlijke gegevens te beperken. Wij gebruiken of verstrekken gevoelige persoonlijke gegevens echter niet voor andere doeleinden dan toegestaan door de CCPA; dit recht is dus niet beschikbaar voor inwoners van Californië.

Recht op non-discriminatie. U hebt het recht om niet gediscrimineerd te worden bij het uitoefenen van een der rechten die in deze paragraaf worden beschreven.

Indienen van CCPA-verzoeken. Inwoners van Californië kunnen hun CCPA-privacyrechten uitoefenen zoals hieronder beschreven:

Recht op kennis, verwijdering en correctie. Inwoners van Californië kunnen CCPA-verzoeken indienen inzake de toegang/kennis, de verwijdering en de correctie van hun persoonsgegevens door contact met ons op te nemen via datenschutz@lovoo.com.

Wanneer u een verzoek indient, zullen wij stappen ondernemen om uw identiteit en uw verzoek te verifiëren door de door u verstrekte informatie te vergelijken met de informatie die wij in onze bestanden hebben. In sommige gevallen of wanneer dit nodig is om uw verzoek te verwerken, kunnen wij u om aanvullende informatie vragen om uw identiteit te verifiëren. Indien wij na een te goeder trouw gedane poging niet in staat zijn om uw identiteit te verifiëren, kunnen wij het verzoek weigeren en, in voorkomend geval, de grond voor de weigering uitleggen.

U kunt ook een ander aanwijzen als uw gemachtigde om verzoeken in te dienen en namens u te handelen. Gevolmachtigde agenten zullen in hun eerste communicatie met ons een bewijs van hun volmacht moeten leveren; tevens kunnen wij eisen dat de relevante consument zijn eigen identiteit en de volmacht van de gevolmachtigde agent direct verifieert.

Recht op afmelding voor verkopen en delen. Als u gebruik wilt maken van uw recht om u af te melden voor het ‛verkopen’ of ‛delen’ van uw persoonlijke gegevens, kunt u dit doen via onze cookie preference manager. Wij zullen uw afmelding toepassen op basis van de persoonlijke informatie in onze bestanden die gekoppeld is of redelijkerwijs gekoppeld kan worden aan de informatie die in uw verzoek is verstrekt. U kunt ook klikken op de koppeling ‛Mijn persoonlijke gegevens niet verkopen of delen’ onder aan onze Sites en in onze Mobiele Apps.

Bovendien zullen wij, wanneer onze Sites detecteren dat uw browser een opt-out voorkeurssignaal uitzendt, zoals een ‛global privacy control’ (GPC) signaal, de specifieke browser of het specifieke apparaat uitzonderen van cookies die resulteren in het ‛verkopen’ of ‛delen’ van uw persoonsgegevens. Bezoekt u onze Sites of gebruikt u onze Diensten vanaf een ander apparaat of vanaf een andere browser op hetzelfde apparaat, dan zult u die browser en/of dat apparaat tevens moeten afmelden of een voorkeurssignaal voor afmelding van die browser en/of dat apparaat moeten gebruiken. Meer informatie over GPC is beschikbaar op: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

Kennisgeving van financiële stimulans. Met betrekking tot sommige van onze Diensten kan LOVOO bepaalde programma’s of aanbiedingen en andere sweepstakes, wedstrijden of soortgelijke promotionele aanbiedingen (elk een ‛Programma’) beschikbaar stellen, die bepaalde aanbiedingen, beloningen, kortingen, diensten, extraatjes en promoties (‛Beloningen en Aanbiedingen’) kunnen omvatten. Deze Programma’s kunnen worden aangemerkt als ‛financiële prikkels’ onder de CCPA. Wij stellen deze Beloningen en Aanbiedingen beschikbaar aan deelnemende gebruikers, om de klanttevredenheid en -ervaringen beter te begrijpen en te verbeteren en om positieve klantrelaties te bevorderen.

Als basis voor het aanbieden van deze Beloningen en Aanbiedingen hebben wij de door ons verworven persoonlijke informatie gewaardeerd aan de hand van een redelijke en te goeder trouw gemaakte berekening, waarin uitgaven met betrekking tot de Programma’s in overweging worden genomen. Hierbij waarderen wij de via de programma’s verzamelde persoonlijke informatie als het equivalent van de kosten en uitgaven die worden gemaakt om het programma te leveren, inclusief IT, administratie, directe kosten, kosten van derden, kortingen, en kosten voor de ontwikkeling van diensten.

Uw persoonlijke gegevens worden verzameld en bewaard, en kunnen worden verstrekt aan onze zakelijke partners, verkopers en dienstverleners, alsmede aan andere derden, zoals beschreven in dit Beleid, onder meer (i) om het Programma te beheren, (ii) voor onderzoeks- en analysedoeleinden, (iii) om onze producten en diensten te verbeteren, (iv) om u beter te bereiken met meer relevante, gerichte aanbiedingen, en (v) om u LOVOO-nieuws, updates en aanbiedingen toe te sturen via e-mail, post en sms (in overeenstemming met uw communicatievoorkeuren).

U kunt zich op elk moment terugtrekken uit deelname aan een Programma door contact met ons op te nemen op een van de in dit Beleid beschreven methoden. Houd er rekening mee dat als u zich terugtrekt uit een Programma (of een CCPA-verzoek indient om uw Programma-informatie te verwijderen), uw deelname aan dat Programma wordt beëindigd en u niet langer in aanmerking komt voor het verdienen, gebruiken, openen of inwisselen van de Beloningen en Aanbiedingen van dat Programma, onderhevig aan de toepasselijke Programmavoorwaarden.

De ‛Shine the Light’-wet van Californië. Volgens de ‛Shine the Light’-wet van Californië (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83), hebben inwoners van Californië die ons bepaalde persoonlijke informatie verstrekken het recht om gratis informatie van ons op te vragen en te verkrijgen over de persoonlijke informatie (indien van toepassing) die wij hebben gedeeld met derden voor hun eigen direct-marketinggebruik. Dergelijke verzoeken kunnen één keer per kalenderjaar worden gedaan voor informatie over het delen met derden in het voorafgaande kalenderjaar. Om een ‛Shine the Light’-verzoek in te dienen, kunt u contact met ons opnemen via de in dit beleid beschreven methoden. Vermeld in uw verzoek een huidig adres in Californië en uw verklaring dat u een inwoner van Californië bent.
