YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following data protection rights:

Managing Your Information
You may access and update some of your information through the "Change Contact Details" section in your profile account. If you have chosen to connect your account to a third-party application like Facebook, Google, or Twitter, you can change your settings and remove permission for the app from the "Linked Social Accounts" section always in your Profile. You are responsible for keeping your personal information up to date.

Rectification of Inaccurate or Incomplete Information
You have the right to ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information concerning you if you cannot update it yourself from within your account.

Data Access and Portability
In some jurisdictions, the applicable law may entitle you to request copies of your personal information held by us. You may also be entitled to request copies of personal information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and/or request us to transmit this information to another service provider (where technically feasible).

Opt-out of marketing communications
You have the right to opt out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the "unsubscribe" or "opt-out" link in the marketing emails we send you.

Modify marketing e-channel communications
ELSAT has never sent to its clients, followers, and subscribers any communication that is not really of interest. You have the right to modify which marketing e-channel communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the "unsubscribe" or "modify subscription" links that you will find always on the button of the marketing emails we send you.

Data Retention and Erasure
We generally retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us and to comply with our legal obligations. If you no longer want us to use your information to provide the contracted services to you, you can request that we erase your personal information and close your account. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:

We may retain some of your personal information to detect and prevent fraud and enhance safety. For example, if we suspend an account for security reasons, we may retain certain information from that account to prevent that customer from opening a new account in the future.

We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, we may keep some of your information for tax, legal reporting, and auditing purposes.

Because we maintain our platform to protect it from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited time.

In cases where fraudulent or otherwise illegal activity has been deemed to have occurred as determined by law enforcement or management, the information may remain in our database indefinitely to help facilitate the prevention of repeated abuse in the future from the offending party.

Withdrawing Consent and Restriction of Processing
If you have provided your consent to the processing of your personal information, you may withdraw it at any time by sending us a communication specifying which consent you are withdrawing. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal. Additionally, in some jurisdictions, applicable law may give you the right to limit how we use your personal information, in particular, where (i) you contest the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information; (iii) we no longer need your personal information for the processing, but you require the information for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to the processing and pending the verification whether the ELSAT's legitimate grounds override your own.

Objection to Processing
In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to require us not to process your personal information for certain specific purposes (including profiling) where such processing is based on legitimate interest. If you object to such processing, we will no longer process your personal information for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing or such processing is required for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

By default, customers do receive any system updates, such as newsletters, invoices, and service email notifications. Customers cannot opt out of possibly receiving important system notifications since the latter are deemed necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations to you.

Lodging Complaints
If you want to make a complaint about the way we are processing your data, you can contact us using the contact details below.

You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights under applicable data protection laws.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect information globally and primarily store that information in Italy and Europe. We transfer, process, and store your information outside of your country of residence. Whenever we transfer your information, we take steps to protect it.

To facilitate our global operations, we transfer information to the United Kingdom and allow access to that information from countries in which we and associated companies have operations for the purposes described in this policy. These countries may not have equivalent privacy and data protection laws, certainly not equivalent to the laws of many of the countries where our customers and users are based. When we share information about you, we make use of standard contractual data protection clauses, which have been approved by the European Commission.

A copy of your data will also be stored in the data center we have our servers that are always located in Europe. This is done so that ELSAT can deliver the contracted service in the location specified by the customer.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
ELSAT cooperates with government and law enforcement officials to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about Users upon valid request by government or law officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal processes (including without limitation subpoenas), to protect your property and rights, or the property and rights of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or stop activity we consider illegal or unethical.

CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY
