Europe:

General Data Protection Regulation Privacy Statement (“GDPR Policy”):

This GDPR Policy applies to persons in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), including those based in the United Kingdom. This GDPR Policy supplements our Privacy Policy; however, where the Policy conflicts with the GDPR Policy, the GDPR Policy will prevail as to persons in the EEA.

Controller of Personal Information:

Dishadvisor LLC is the data controller of personal information we collect, however, in accordance with applicable data privacy law, we have appointed representatives within the European Union and United Kingdom.

Your rights under GDPR:

You have certain rights regarding your personal data.

Your rights with respect to your own personal data include the following:

• The right to request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• The right to request to correct your personal data if it is inaccurate. You may also supplement any incomplete personal data we have, taking into account the purposes of the processing.
• The right to request deletion of your personal data if:
  • your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected or processed them; or
  • you withdraw your consent if the processing of your personal data is based on consent and no other legal ground exists; or
  • you object to the processing of your personal data and we do not have an overriding legitimate ground for processing; or
  • your personal data is unlawfully processed; or
  • your personal data must be deleted for compliance with a legal obligation.
• The right to object to the processing of your personal data. We will comply with your request, unless we have a compelling overriding legitimate interest for processing or we need to continue processing your personal data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
• The right to restrict the processing of personal data, if:
  • the accuracy of your personal data is contested by you, for the period in which we have to verify the accuracy of the personal data; or
  • the processing is unlawful and you oppose the deletion of your personal data and request restriction; or
  • we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but your personal data is required by you for legal claims; or
  • you have objected to the processing, for the period in which we have to verify overriding legitimate grounds.
• The right to data portability. You may request that we send this personal data to a third-party, where feasible. You only have this right if it relates to personal data you have provided to us where the processing is based on consent or necessity for the performance of a contract between you and us, and the processing is conducted by automated means.
• You also have the right to lodge a complaint before your national data protection authority.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights described in this Privacy Policy). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. In an effort to speed up our response, we may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request. You can exercise several of your rights through the personal information section of your account.

Information Uses:

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to.

Pursuant to GDPR, we will use your personal data in one or more of the following circumstances:

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third-party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
• With your consent.

International Transfers:

Your personal data may be stored or transferred to countries outside the EEA for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. When we store or transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we take the following precautions to ensure that your personal data is properly protected.

Whenever we store or transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we will do so in accordance with applicable law and we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate safeguards. Transfers of personal data are made:

• to a country recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection; or
• to a country which does not offer adequate protection but whose transfer has been governed by the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission or by implementing other appropriate cross-border transfer solutions to provide adequate protection.

By using our services, you understand that your personal data may be transferred to our facilities and those third-parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.
