  1. Your Rights and Choices. You have rights and choices with respect to information that relates to you, however such rights will vary depending on the category of information, and the subsequent use of such information. This section further describes your rights.

(a) Account Information. You may access, update, or remove certain information that you have provided to us through your account by visiting your account settings. Please note that we will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. European data subjects and California residents have additional rights as set forth in the addenda entitled “Privacy Addendum for  Data Subjects in Europe” and “Privacy Addendum for  California Residents” below.

Our Service is generally not directed at children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information (as defined by the U.S. Children’s Privacy Protection Act, or “COPPA”) from anyone under the age of 13 in a manner not permitted by COPPA. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe we have collected information from your child in a manner not permitted by law, please contact us through our Help Center. We will remove the data to the extent required by applicable law.

We do not “sell,” as that term is defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, the personal information of minors under the age of 16 who are California residents.

In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to investigate the situation, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations, and take other steps as appropriate. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes to the functionality of third party sites and services that you add to the Haver Service, such as social networks. Haver is not responsible for the functionality or security measures of any third party.

Privacy Addendum for Data Subjects in Europe

  1. Role. Data protection laws in Europe distinguish between organizations that process personal data for their own purposes (known as “controllers”) and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as “processors”). Haver acts as a controller with respect to personal data collected as you interact with our websites, emails, and advertisements. Any references to “personal information” in the Privacy Policy should be construed as equivalent to “personal data” as provided in the applicable legislation.
  1. Legal Basis for Processing. In the European Union (“EU”), the purposes for which we process your personal data are:
    • Where you have given consent to the processing for one or more specific purposes, either to us or to our service providers or partners;
    • Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you for the Service;
    • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; and
    • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation in the EU.
  1. Data Transfer. If your data is collected in Europe, we will transfer your personal data subject to appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
  1. Your Data Subject Rights. If you are located in the EU or Switzerland, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data that we hold:
    • Right of access. The right to obtain access to your personal data.
    • Right to rectification. The right to obtain rectification of your personal data without undue delay where that personal data is inaccurate or incomplete.
    • Right to erasure. The right to obtain the erasure of your personal data without undue delay in certain circumstances, such as where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or processed.
    • Right to restriction. The right to obtain the restriction of the processing undertaken by us on your personal data in certain circumstances, such as where the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of that personal data.
    • Right to portability. The right to portability allows you to move, copy or transfer personal data easily from one organization to another.
    • Right to object. You have a right to object to processing based on legitimate interests and direct marketing.

If you wish to exercise one of these rights, please contact us as directed in the “Contact Us” section in the Privacy Policy above. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions.

Please note that we retain information as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and may continue to retain and use information even after a data subject request for purposes of our legitimate interests, including as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.

If your personal data has been processed by us on behalf of a business customer and you wish to exercise any rights you have with such personal data, please inquire with our customer directly. If you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide the name of our customer on whose behalf we processed your personal data.
