We utilize reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR, CCPA, Others)

Rights Under GDPR

For users within the European Economic Area (EEA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides several important rights. These include:

  • Right to Access: You can access your personal data and know how we use it. This includes requesting a copy of your data.
  • Right to Rectification: You can ask us to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You can request the deletion of your data when it is no longer necessary for us to retain it.
  • Right to Restriction of Processing: You can ask us to suspend processing personal data in certain scenarios, such as if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Right to Data Portability: When technically feasible, you can request a transfer of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
  • Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing your data, particularly if we are processing it for direct marketing purposes or basing it on our legitimate interests.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: If we are processing your data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, though this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before your withdrawal.

Rights Under CCPA

For residents of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides specific rights regarding personal data:

  • Right to Know: You can request details about the categories of personal data we have collected about you, including the sources, our purposes for collecting or selling that data, and the categories of third parties with whom the data is shared.
  • Right to Access: You can access specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you during the past 12 months.
  • Right to Deletion: You can request the deletion of your data that we hold, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale: You have the right to opt out of the sale of your data to third parties. SVT does not sell personal data, but if we do in the future, you will be given the option to opt out.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. You can also use the privacy settings and tools we provide on our user account settings page on our website. We may request specific information to help us confirm your identity and process your request. We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month and will contact you if we need longer, for example, if your request is particularly complex or you have made multiple requests.

Non-Discrimination in Services

We are committed to providing equal treatment to all users. If you choose to exercise any of your rights under GDPR, CCPA, or other data protection laws, we will not discriminate against you. This means that you will not be denied goods or services, charged different prices, or provided a different level or quality of goods or services unless those differences are related to the value of your data.

Data Transfers and Breach Protocols

Mechanisms and Safeguards for International Transfers

In facilitating the global operations of our services, we sometimes need to transfer personal data across national borders. To ensure these transfers comply with stringent data protection laws, such as GDPR, we utilize approved mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, seek adequacy decisions from the European Commission. These safeguards are designed to ensure that the data transferred receives a standard of protection consistent with that of the originating country.

Regional Variations in Data Protection Rights

Data protection laws vary significantly by region. For instance, European residents are protected under GDPR, which affords them rights such as data access, correction, deletion, and portability. In contrast, California residents are subject to the CCPA, which provides similar but distinct rights. We recognize these regional variations and ensure that our data protection practices comply with local laws and regulations, adjusting our policies and actions to reflect the specific rights granted to individuals based on their residency.

Response Procedures for Data Breaches

We have implemented robust security measures to prevent data breaches. However, in the unlikely event of a breach, we have established a formal procedure to respond swiftly and effectively. This includes immediately mobilizing our incident response team to contain the breach, assess the scope and impact of the incident, and identify the affected individuals. We also evaluate the risks associated with the breach and take appropriate steps to mitigate any potential harm to those affected.

Notification Requirements

Should a data breach occur that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will notify the relevant data protection authorities within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, following GDPR requirements. Affected individuals will also be informed without delay, particularly if the breach could pose a high risk to their rights and freedoms. Notifications will include details about the nature of the breach, the categories and approximate number of individuals concerned, the likely consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to address the breach.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Links to Other Websites

Our services may contain links to external websites that we do not own or operate. These links are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply any endorsement of the activities or content of these sites nor any association with their operators. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of service of any third-party website you visit, as our Privacy Policy does not cover them. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or conduct of or on any linked third-party site.

Third-Party Integration

Our services may integrate with or offer services of third parties as part of our functionality. This integration can include third-party technology, plugins, widgets, or other tools that might store and handle your information. We do not control these third parties; they operate under their privacy policies. Therefore, any information you provide to third-party services or collected by these third parties is governed by their respective privacy policies. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with to understand the data processing practices that will apply.

AI-Assisted Data Processing

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to support our content creation, analyze website usage, and improve your experience on our site. These tools may process data, such as your interactions with our site or submitted forms, to provide insights, generate relevant content, and enhance our services. The use of AI is subject to the same data protection practices outlined in this Privacy Policy. No personal data is shared with AI tools unless necessary, and any data processed complies with applicable privacy laws.

Children’s Privacy

Compliance with COPPA

We take children’s privacy seriously and are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our website and services are not designed for, nor do we knowingly collect information from, children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a visitor under 13 on our site, we will delete the information from our records.

COPPA protects children’s privacy by setting specific requirements for websites that collect information from children. This includes providing a clear privacy notice about what information is collected, how it is used, and who it is shared with, obtaining parental consent before any information is collected, and maintaining the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the information collected from children.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 13 has provided us with personal information without COPPA-required consent, please contact us immediately. We will take steps to remove such information and terminate the child’s account.

Age Limitations on Services

Our services are aimed at a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13 or allow them to register for our services. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent verification, we will remove that information as quickly as possible.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information through our services without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.
