Legal Foundations to Process Personal Data
The way we process Users’ Personal Data is framed by privacy rights and regulations stipulated by GDPR, DPA, and other applicable local laws and regulations. In case the jurisdictions of Your locations stipulate stricter Personal Data norms, the way Your Personal Data is handled will be defined by these standards.
By and large, the legal foundations for Personal Data Processing can be presented this way:
Your Consent. As You explicitly permit to have Your Personal Data processed for certain purposes, the legality and validity is defined by Your permission. Consenting to have Your Personal Data processed is totally voluntary. Any consent previously given can be withdrawn at any moment. Please remember that such a withdrawal is only valid for the future. Thus, it does not exert any influence on Processing of Personal Data that occurred before the withdrawal of Your permission.
Contract Execution. This foundation implies the Processing of Users' Personal Data when it is needed to carry out Our contractual obligations under an agreement to which You are a party. Also, it may refer to acting on Your own request before entering into such an agreement. The latter encompasses Our Terms of Use.
Our Legitimate Interest. It implies Our own corporate interest in the effective, proper, and responsible management of all business processes on Our side. It also implies the protection of Our business reputation and the way we provide Users with an adequate level of services.
Legal Compliance Issues. The Company processes Your Personal Data when it has to be done to abide by legal or regulatory obligations.
Sharing and Transferring Users’ Personal Data With Third Parties
From time to time, the Company might have to share Your Personal Data with external third parties. A comprehensive list is provided below, with every type specified:
- Our Partners, Affiliates, and Counterparties
Whenever we reveal Users’ Personal Data to partners of this sort, We inform the individuals mentioned above about the fact that the Company is sharing relevant Personal Data. We universally demand such parties to abide by all the applicable legal obligations regarding the Processing of Users’ Personal Data. We do not let such parties make use of Users’ Personal Data for their goals and exclusively authorize them to process Users’ Personal Data for concrete purposes and in conformity with Our instructions.
- Government Agencies
The Company can only make use of and share Users’ Personal Data with these external third parties when it is mandated for the lawful conduct of Our business. We might be ordered to give access to Personal Data by various local authorities if Users violate the Terms and apply Internet bandwidth to achieve goals that breach legal provisions.
- Analytical Service and SEO Service Providers
We reveal Your Personal Data to these parties in a depersonalized format exclusively. Our sole aim here is to upgrade and optimize the Platform. The Company assures and guarantees that We will never sell, trade, or share Your Personal Data with such parties without Your explicit permission.
Does Our Company Transfer Users’ Personal Data to Other Jurisdictions?
The Personal Data of Our Users is stored mainly in the EU territory. At the same time, to support Our operations worldwide, We might resort to various services available overseas, which encompasses data Processing service providers, as long as the laws and regulations imposed by Your jurisdiction do not impose limitations on data transfer of this sort. The Personal Data of Our Users used for Verification process and Data for Enhanced Verification is stored under Verification Services provider Terms and Conditions and Policy.
Thus, hereby, Our Company warrants You that We can transfer Your Personal Data exclusively to the jurisdictions that have been acknowledged as countries able to ensure an adequate privacy level in terms of Personal Data protection and by Oficial Police request. We make every feasible endeavor to maintain the security of Your Personal Data within the framework of this Privacy Policy while cooperating with external service providers. Our Company will take all feasible and applicable contractual measures to keep the relevant Personal Data safe, abiding all pertinent laws.
In case adequate service providers cannot be identified in any particular jurisdiction, i.e. in case those service providers, associated with those countries, are in no position to maintain an adequate level of protection imposed by GDPR and DPA (e.g. in the United States), the transfers of this sort will be regulated by the standard data protection clauses adopted by the US and the European Union. Also, other relevant safeguards, such as the Privacy Shield Framework, can be applied.
How Your Personal Data Is Secured By Our Company
We take a comprehensive range of tech-related, organizational, and managerial steps to maintain the confidentiality, unity, and availability of Your Personal Data. Our Company’s aim is to protect Your Personal Data from loss, fraud, being stolen or misused, unapproved access, changes, or destruction. We take all measures that are generally followed by the industry to secure the Personal Data at Our disposal.
These measures encompass, but are not limited to, the implementation of modern security techniques: the Secure Sockets Layered (SSL) technology that ensures that Your Personal Data is encrypted in an end-to-end fashion and is sent across the Net securely. This technology also provides for reliable coding guidelines and regular penetration QA.
Our Company also applies encryption (HTTPS/TLS) to defend data that is transmitted to and from Polyx Exchange. Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that maintains privacy and data integrity between two communicating apps. As such, it's the most widely deployed security protocol currently in use. It is applied to Web browsers and other apps that mandate data to be safely exchanged over a network, e.g. file transfers, VPN connections, instant messaging, and VoIP.
Only authorized staff members working at Our Company are granted access to Users’ Personal Data. These staff members are universally required to handle and process the Personal Data they have access to as confidential. Also, the safety practices applied by Us will, periodically, be reviewed to be in step with legal and tech-related trends and developments.
Users’ Rights

- Withdrawal of Your Consent. To the degree that the Processing of Your Personal Data is grounded exclusively in Your consent, You can withdraw Your consent at any moment. This will have absolutely no impact on the legality of any Processing that has occurred before the withdrawal of Your consent. Please remember that any Personal Data that is handled on a basis other than Your consent will keep on to be processed.
- Restriction of Processing processes. In a number of jurisdictions, applicable laws might grant You the right to limit or raise an objection to Our Processing or transfer of Your Personal Data under specific conditions.
