Purpose and legal basis for processing

We process your information for the purposes described at “2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION” in our Privacy Policy, based on the following legal basis:

  • With your consent. At times, we ask for your consent to use your personal information in a certain way and will only do so if you agree. Examples of occasions when we rely on consent include when sending you electronic marketing communications such as text or e-mail or when holding sensitive personal information about you. Whenever we use your information for a purpose based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent for us to use your information for this purpose at any time (as described in “your privacy rights” below).
  • As necessary to perform our agreement with you, including when you agree to our Terms of Service.
  • As necessary to comply with our legal obligations.For example, in some cases we may need to share your information with regulators, law enforcement agencies, public authorities, or any other relevant organizations in response to a legal obligation.
  • As necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
  • As necessary to protect the vital interests of an individual.
  • As necessary for our legitimate interests, such as to provide you with the Services. In certain cases, we collect and use your personal information on the basis of our “legitimate interests” provided our use is reasonable and does not unduly impact on your rights. We consider our legitimate interests to include all of the day-to-day activities we carry out in our effort to help you better work through your feelings, emotions and thoughts in a way that is both healthy and productive.

Some examples where we rely on legitimate interests are:

  • Measuring how our audiences respond to a variety of marketing activity so we can ensure our activity is well targeted, relevant and effective; and
  • Monitoring individuals’ use of our website or apps for technical, quality and improvement purposes.

Your privacy rights

If you are based in the EU, EEA, or UK for the purpose of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, in certain circumstances, you have the right to exercise certain privacy rights available to you under applicable laws. We will process your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

  • Right not to provide consent or to withdraw consent. We may seek to rely on your consent to process certain personal data. Where we do so, you have the right not to provide your consent or to withdraw your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal. 
  • Right of access and/or portability. You may have the right to access the personal data that we hold about you and, in some limited circumstances, have that data provided to you in a format that allows you to provide or “port” that data to another provider.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise the rights above, please email us at info@oye.co.

Please identify yourself and specify your request. If you have a password protected Oye account, we may use your account information to verify your identity. If not, we will ask you to provide additional verification information. What we request will depend on the nature of your request, how sensitive the information is, and how harmful unauthorized disclosure or deletion would be. 

Please note that a number of these rights only apply in certain circumstances, and all of these rights may be limited by law, for example, where fulfilling your request would adversely affect other individuals or our trade secrets or intellectual property, where there are overriding public interests, or where we are required by law to retain your personal data.

International Transfers

Oye operates globally, which means personal data may be stored and processed (for example stored in a data center) in any country where we or our service providers have facilities or hold events. By using Oye or providing personal data for any of the purposes stated in our Privacy Policy, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to or stored in other countries around the world. Such countries may have data protection rules that are different and less protective than those of your country. 

If you are a resident of the EU, EEA or UK, and your personal data is transferred outside of the EU, EEA or the UK, as applicable, we transfer this data where this is necessary to perform our contract with you in order to provide the Services or where you consent. 

Where we transfer personal data to third parties outside of the EU, EEA or the UK, we also rely on the European Commission’s model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries (i.e., the standard contractual clauses), or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant competent authority of the EU, EEA or the UK, as applicable, unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined by the European Commission or the relevant UK authorities to provide an adequate level of protection for individuals’ rights and freedoms with respect to their personal data.

Cookies

We use Google Analytics, which is a web analytics tool that helps us understand how users engage with the Services. Like many services, Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track user interactions, as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how users use our site.

You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our site – for more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you use, visit this Google page: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
