Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy ("Policy", "Privacy Policy") forms an integral part of the License Agreement with the User and defines the rules for processing personal data that Compubyte Limited (hereinafter referred to as "EmailMassivo", "we") may collect about users ("User" or "you") in connection with the User's use of the EmailMassivo service (the "Service"). In particular, it determines the categories of data collected, the ways and methods of data collection, the purposes and measures for ensuring the protection of data, as well as the User's rights in relation to his/her Personal Data.
By this Policy the User gives us consent to the processing of his/her Personal Data under the terms of this Privacy Policy. The User's actions aimed at using the Service constitute unconditional acceptance of this Policy and of the terms of processing his/her Personal Data specified herein. We strongly urge you to read this Policy and make sure that you fully understand and agree with it before you start using our Service. If you have not read this Policy in full, do not understand something or do not accept the terms of this Privacy Policy, you must immediately stop using the Service.
The User warrants that, in accordance with the User's jurisdiction, he/she has reached the age that allows him/her to independently give consent to the processing of his/her personal data (but not less than 16 years), or the User can duly confirm the appropriate permission of the holder of parental responsibility over him/her.
Please note that, according to law, you are not obliged to provide us with any data; however, the provision of such data is a mandatory condition for the use of our Service. You hereby confirm, warrant and agree that any data you provide to us is provided of your own free will, is specific and unambiguous, and corresponds to your wish to have your data used for the purposes described below.
You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time, as we strive to ensure that the procedure for withdrawal of consent is no less simple than the procedure for granting it. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

7. User Rights
7.1. Within the framework of this Privacy Policy, each User has the following rights in relation to his/her Personal Data:
7.1.1. Right of access to his/her Personal Data. To ensure this right, the Service provides a special section in the Account, where all Personal Information received by us from the User is indicated. The User may go to the Personal Information section and review the Personal Information that we hold at a given point in time. At the User's request, we provide a complete list of Personal Data that we have collected about the User, the legal grounds and purposes of processing, the categories of Personal Data, a list of third parties to whom the Personal Data has been or will be disclosed, the period for which the Personal Data will be stored, as well as the measures for the protection of Personal Data. A response will be provided within a reasonable period in accordance with applicable law.
7.1.2. Right to rectification. The User has the right at any time to independently make corrections to his/her Personal Data through the Account; if, for any reason, the User experiences difficulties in rectifying Personal Data, he/she may send us an appropriate request, and we will make the corrections within a reasonable period of time. Taking into account the purposes of processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete Personal Information by indicating only the mandatory types of Personal Data necessary to provide access to the Service.
7.1.3. Right to withdraw consent to the processing of Personal Data. The User has the right to withdraw his/her consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The Service provides the possibility to withdraw consent as easily as it is given. Thus, the User may at any time send us a request to delete the Account, and we will delete the Account within a reasonable period of time after receiving the corresponding request.
Please note that you may correct, update or delete certain parts of Personal Data yourself.
When making corrections to Personal Data or when the User withdraws consent, we will notify all third parties having access to the User's Personal Data of the changes.
7.1.4. Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"). The User has the right to request, and we are obliged to effect, the deletion of the User's Personal Data without undue delay if:
- Personal Data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected;
- the data subject withdraws consent to the processing of his/her Personal Data which constitutes the basis for its collection;
- Personal Data has been unlawfully processed;
- Personal Data must be erased in accordance with law.
7.1.5. Right to data portability. The User has the right to receive his/her Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. The User may obtain in structured form all Personal Data ever received by us by sending an appropriate request to the technical support service. The User has the right to transmit his/her Personal Data directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible.
8. Period of Storage of Personal Data
8.1. We store your Personal Data for the entire period of use of the Service (the existence of your Account) or until such time as we no longer need these data to provide the Service, or for a longer period if so required by applicable law or if this is done for the settlement of disputes with our Users, prevention of fraud and abuse and/or protection of our legitimate interests.
9. Information Security
9.1. We hereby guarantee that we take all necessary and sufficient organisational and technical measures, in accordance with applicable legislation, to protect the User's Personal Data from unlawful or accidental access, destruction, alteration, blocking, copying, distribution, as well as from other unlawful actions with it by third parties. In our activities, we use generally accepted industry standards to protect the User's Personal Data and strive to maximally protect and ensure the confidentiality of Personal Data. Personal Data protection is implemented by default at the design level of the Service during its development. Security measures include firewall protection, pseudonymisation, data encryption, data minimisation, resilience of processing systems to failures, the ability to timely restore availability of and access to Personal Data in the event of a physical or technical incident, control of physical access to data centres, as well as control of authorisations for access to data. We regularly monitor our systems for potential vulnerabilities and attacks, assess the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of Personal Data, and constantly look for new ways and service providers to further improve the security of our Service and the protection of the privacy of our Users. All third parties that gain access to Personal Data and are involved in providing the User with access to the Service adhere to security measures for Personal Data that are no less stringent.
9.2. However, we cannot guarantee absolute protection and therefore urge you to exercise caution, set a strong password for your account and avoid providing any sensitive data, the disclosure of which may cause you significant harm.
9.3. In the event of any Personal Data breach, we take all measures within our control to eliminate or minimise possible negative consequences, and also ensure immediate notification of the relevant supervisory authorities and of the User about this incident, indicating all available information about the breach of confidentiality. The facts of such incidents are entered into a special register of incidents that we are obliged to maintain in accordance with applicable law.
9.4. For the purposes of this Policy, a Personal Data breach means a security breach leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of or access to transmitted or processed Personal Data.
