Section 3 – Data subject rights of access

We have outlined the data subject rights that apply to Airtame’s data subjects below. If you at any time would like to exercise any of the below-outlined rights or have questions regarding them, please contact us at data@airtame.com.

Right of access

The controller shall take appropriate measures to provide any information relating to processing the data subject in a concise, transparent, intelligible, and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language, particularly for any information addressed specifically to a child.

Right to erasure and to be forgotten

The data subject shall have the right to obtain the erasure of personal data from the controller without undue delay unless otherwise required by law.

Right to rectification

The data subject has the right to have inaccurate personal data rectified. An individual may also be able to have incomplete personal data completed – although this will depend on the purposes for the processing. This may involve providing a supplementary statement to the preliminary, incomplete data.

Right to data portability

The data subject has the right to receive personal data they have provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. It also gives them the right to request that a controller transmits this data directly to another controller.

Right to restrict processing

The data subject has a right to restrict the processing of any personal data stored by Airtame. However, in most cases, this cannot be an indefinite restriction, only for a period of time.

Disclaimer

These rights include more detailed stipulations, which need to be assessed before complying with any requests based on the above-mentioned rights. Additionally, we reserve the right to exercise reasonable measures to verify the identity of any data subject putting forward requests based on the above rights. This is to ensure the security of our existing data subjects and to minimize the risk of fraudulent behaviors. More information on the stipulations mentioned above can be found here (“EU GDPR information portal”).

Section 4 – Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

Section 5 – Shopify

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with an online e-commerce platform to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. In addition, they keep your information on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure our store and its service providers’ secure handling of credit card information. You may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.

Section 6 – Third-party services

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies to understand how these providers will handle your personal information. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. For example, if you are located in Canada, and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

API Client

Airtame Cloud uses YouTube API services.

We do not use, process, or share user information from your YouTube Account through Airtame Cloud. You will not be requested to authenticate your YouTube Account to use Airtame Cloud services. Since we use YouTube’s API service, we must provide you with the Google Privacy Policy.

We only request publicly available information from YouTube API services. The YouTube playlist functionality within Airtame Cloud is the exclusive use of the YouTube API Service.
