We treat emails the same way we treat letters sent to The TruckerCode.com.

Mode and place(s) of processing data

Place: The data is processed at the owner’s operating offices, remotely, and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. Depending on the user’s location, data transfers may involve transferring the user’s data to a country other than their own. To find out more about the place of processing of such transferred data, users can check the section containing details about the processing of personal data.

Methods of data processing

The owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of data. If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Any data held on third party sites will require the user to contact the third party site. Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated. In addition to the owner, in some cases, the data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of this website (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as data processors by the owner. The updated list of these parties may be requested from the owner at any time.

The purposes of data processing

The data concerning the user is collected to allow the owner to provide its service, comply with its legal obligations, respond to enforcement requests, protect its rights and interests (or those of its users or third parties), detect any malicious or fraudulent activity, as well as the following: Tag Management, Displaying content from external platforms, Analytics, Advertising, Remarketing and behavioral targeting, Content performance and features testing (A/B testing), and Product/merchandise sales. The owner will never sell, rent, or lease personal data to third parties.

Users may exercise certain rights regarding their data processed by the owner.

Users have the right to withdraw consent at any time where they have previously given their consent to the processing of their personal data. Any requests to exercise user rights can be directed to the owner through the contact details provided above in this document. These requests can be exercised free of charge and will be addressed by the owner as early as possible. Users have the right, under certain circumstances, to obtain the erasure of their data from the owner. Users have the right to learn if data is being processed by the owner, obtain disclosure regarding certain aspects of the processing and obtain a copy of the data undergoing processing. Users have the right to object to the processing of their data if the processing is carried out on a legal basis other than consent. Where personal data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in the owner or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the owner, users may object to such processing by providing a ground related to their particular situation to justify the objection. Users have the right to receive their data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and, if technically feasible, to have it transmitted to another controller without any hindrance. This provision is applicable provided that the data is processed by automated means and that the processing is based on the user’s consent, on a contract which the user is part of or on pre-contractual obligations thereof. Any user may object to personal data being processed for direct marketing purposes at any time without providing any justification. Users may also opt-out of certain advertising features through applicable device settings, such as the device advertising settings for mobile phones or ads settings in general. Users also have the right to verify the accuracy of their data and ask for it to be updated or corrected, in addition to, under certain circumstances, restricting the processing of their data. In this case, the owner will not process their data for any purpose other than storing it.

Additional information about legal basis of processing and data collection – The owner may process personal data relating to users if one of the following applies:

Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes. Note: Under some legislation’s the owner may be allowed to process personal data until the user objects to such processing (“opt-out”), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases. This, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of personal data is subject to: Necessary processing for compliance with a legal obligation to which the owner is subject; Processing related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the owner; Provision of data necessary for the performance of an agreement with the user and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof; Necessary processing for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the owner or by a third party; processing or distribution of electronic data and/or signatures relating to development, advancement or passage of any bill or law (Example – “Park Place” legislative actions); or, any governmental data protection law. In any case, the owner will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of personal data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract. The user’s personal data may also be used for legal purposes by the owner in Court or in the stages leading to possible legal action arising from improper use of this website or the related services. The user declares to be aware that the owner may be required to reveal personal data upon request of public authorities.

Information on opting out of interest-based advertising

In addition to any opt-out feature provided by any of the services listed in this document, users may follow the instructions provided by the Network Advertising Initiative (US) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (US), DAAC (Canada), DDAI (Japan), YourOnlineChoices (EU), or other similar initiatives. Such initiatives allow users to select their tracking preferences for most of the advertising tools. The owner thus recommends that users make use of these resources in addition to the information provided in this document. The Digital Advertising Alliance offers a website called AppChoices that helps users to control interest-based advertising on mobile apps. Users are also entitled to learn about the legal basis of data transfers to any country or to any international organization governed by public international law or set up by two or more countries, such as the UN, and about the security measures taken by the owner to safeguard their data.

Retention time and additional information about user’s personal data

Personal data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for. Personal data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between the owner and the user shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed. Personal data collected for the purposes of the owner’s legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfill such purposes. Users may find specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by the owner within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the owner. The owner may be allowed to retain personal data for a longer period whenever the user has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, the owner may be obliged to retain personal data for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority. Once the retention period expires, personal data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right of access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.
