We use your personal data on the basis of the performance of the contract to provide services and communicate with the Users.

We share your data with the service providers (please, request Annex A. List of the processors to look through the list of service providers) and contractors to the extent necessary to provide services, technical and customer support, who, for example, help us:

• operate, develop, and improve the features and functionality of our Service;
• provide you with their services;
• complete your payment transactions;
• fulfill your support requests;
• convert your files;
• communicate with you as described elsewhere in this Privacy Notice.

In addition, we have implemented organizational and technical measures to ensure the security of personal data during data transfer to third-party.

We can share your data on the following grounds: consent, compliance with the law, and legitimate interest.

Details

Performance of a contract. We may transfer your data to our contractors and partners for contractual purposes.

Consent. We may transfer your personal data based on your explicit consent.

Compliance with the law. We may disclose your personal data to third parties to the extent that it is necessary:

• to comply with a government request, court order, or applicable law;
• to prevent unlawful use of our Service or policies;
• to protect against claims of third parties;
• to help prevent or investigate fraud.

Transfer of personal data to third parties. We may transfer your personal data to third parties based on a data processing agreement, subject to the application of technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. We may share data with certain companies, consultants and contractors hired to provide certain services to us or on our behalf.

Please note! We will ask for your consent if the transfer of data is not part of the contract.

Data Transfer Outside the European Economic Area

The personal data we collect is stored on servers in the USA. The data is stored in the USA by default, but we may need to process your personal data in another country. We also share some data with our service providers in Ukraine.

There is no adequate decision by the European Commission regarding either the US or Ukraine. This means that the USA and Ukraine are not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data. We use adopted Standard Contractual Clauses based on legislation assessments for data protection during transfer and storage.

You can read more detailed measures to protect your personal data here and in our Data Processing Agreement for the European Economic Area residents and Data Processing Agreement for the United States residents.

However, if a data transfer is required to perform a contract or provide you services, we have the right to do so without your consent.

Security Measures

We are regularly certified by ISO 27001 Standard.

We systematically perform Data Protection Impact Assessments to ensure that we use an appropriate level of technical and organizational measures to prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, and unauthorized disclosure of or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.

To be more specific, to protect your personal data, we use HTTPS and encryption, divided group and individual access (where appropriate), an alarm system, corporate VPN, and written approved internal policies (like password policy and physical access policy).

Moreover, we systematically monitor our technologies’ state of the art and never forget about the backups. All our contractors are under contractual obligations compliant with the GDPR requirements. You can contact customer support in case of any questions regarding the security issues.

Here you can find information about the steps we mentioned above:

Physical measures
Limited access to premises We use logically separate databases to prevent unauthorized persons from accidentally reading data to separate data. Access to the data is also restricted because employees use services (applications) that control access.

Policies and instructions Password policy. We regulate access to our systems via password procedures and the use of SSH keys of at least 4096 bits in length Monitoring and physical access policy Contractual obligations and corporate VPN Internal security policy Access control policy	Transfer protection Data protection agreements Data transfer agreements Standard contractual clauses
	Agreements Non-disclosure agreements Data protection agreements
Contractor and staff training	Privacy protection: Implementation of privacy by design and privacy by default. Internal procedures for GDPR compliance Data protection impact assessments
Regular access and policy review Code review

Technical measures
Encryption technologies: encryption in transit, backup encryption, state-of-the-art methods of cryptographic keys	Backup We ensure the availability of data in several ways. For example, there is a regular backup of the entire system. This can be used if the other availability measures fail. Critical services are operated redundantly in multiple data centers and controlled by a high-availability system.
