accountability.
2.1.1 In order for the Processing to be lawful, the Data Controller processes your
Personal Data based on legitimate grounds, when necessary, in the context of a
contract or with an expressed intention to conclude such.
2.1.2 The principle of good faith and transparency requires the Data Controller to
ensure that all information and communication related to the Processing of your
Personal Data is easily accessible and understandable, using clear and unambiguous
wording. This principle applies to the information that you as a Data Subject receive
about the identity of the Data Controller and the purposes of the Processing, as well as
to the additional information guaranteeing conscientious and transparent Processing.
2.1.3 Compliance with the third principle, namely to minimize data and limit the
purposes and period of storage by the Data Controller, is ensured by collecting only
those data that are absolutely necessary for the purposes and activities of the Data
Controller and its compliance with the legal requirements, as they are processed only
for specific, explicitly stated and legitimate purposes, and are not processed in a way
incompatible with these purposes, and are stored for a period not longer than necessary
or provided by the law.
2.1.4 The principle of accuracy requires that all Personal Data processed by the Data
Controller be accurate and kept up to date, and for this purpose the Data Controller
relies on you as a Data Subject, on your correctness and assistance. If it proves
impossible to correct inaccurate Personal Data provided by you, the Data Controller
shall delete them in a timely manner, considering the purposes for which they are
processed.

ensure the protection of Personal Data at the design stage, considering the
achievements of technical progress, implementation costs and the nature, scope,
context, and objectives of Personal Data Processing, as well as risks to the rights and
freedoms of individuals.
12.4 We follow generally accepted standards to protect the Personal Data submitted to
us during Processing including HTTPS. However, no method of transmission over the

your Personal Data is processed in violation of the principles outlined above; when it
must be deleted in order to comply with a legal obligation for the Data Controller or the
Personal Data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society
services. This right shall not apply to the extent that Processing is necessary: (a) for

carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Data
Controller; (c) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health; (d) for archiving
purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical

based on a contractual obligation and is performed in an automated manner. This right
of yours cannot adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
14.1.6 Right of objection: If you have consented to the Processing of your Personal
Data for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this Processing
at any time, including when it involves profiling. In any such case, the Processing of

14.1.7 In addition you have the right not to be the subject of a decision based solely on
automated processing, including profiling, which has legal consequences for you and
affects you significantly. In case you exercise this right, the Data Controller is obliged to

number of requests. Where requests from a Data Subject are manifestly unreasonable
or excessive, in particular because of their recurrence, the Data Controller may: (i)
charge a fee commensurate with the administrative costs of providing the information or
correspondence, or of acting on the request, or (ii) refuse to act on the request. Each
time the Data Controller refuses to accept an application submitted by you for the
exercise of the rights above, you will receive a written refusal, as well as the reasons for
it. In these and other cases, the Data Controller will also inform you of your right to
appeal or seek a court redress.
14.3 A register that contains information on submissions, considerations, and responses
to all Data Subjects` requests will be kept by the Data Controller.
14.4 In case of the Personal Data breach, and provided that, it is likely to result in a high
risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you thereof without undue delay and
describe in clear and plain language the nature of the Personal Data breach, the likely
consequences of it and the measures taken or proposed to be taken by us to address it,
including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. In some
cases the communication shall not be required, especially when: (i) we have
implemented appropriate technical and organizational protection measures, and those
measures were applied to the Personal Data affected by the Personal Data breach,
such as encryption; (ii) we have taken subsequent measures which ensure that the high
risk to your rights and freedoms is no longer likely to materialize; (iii) it would involve
disproportionate effort, in which case, you will be informed in an equally effective
manner like via a public communication or other.
14.5 In case of a violation of your rights under GDPR you have the right to refer to the
competent supervisory authority at your habitual place of residence within six (6)
months as of the violation discovery, but not later than two (2) years from its occurrence.
You have an additional opportunity to file a claim against us before the competent court.
In this proceeding you can seek compensation for the damages suffered by you as a
result of illegal Processing of your Personal Data.
XV. Your rights as data subject in case you are a California resident. CCPA
compliance
15.1 WE DO NOT SELL OR RENT ANY COLLECTED PERSONAL DATA AND
INFORMATION WITH ANY THIRD PARTY. However, while providing you with the
Service, we may share some personal information about you with third parties with
which the Data Controller develops joint programs or uses as Service Providers. Such
information sharing may be considered a “sale” under the California Consumer Privacy
Act of 2018, as amended (“CCPA“).
15.2 The CCPA defines Personal Information as information that identifies, relates to,
describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be
linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household, inter alia, (i)
identifying information, such as real name, postal address, unique personal identifier, IP
address, email address, account name, social security number, passport number,
driver’s license number, or other similar identifiers; (ii) commercial information, including
records of personal property, products, or services purchased; purchases considered; or
other purchasing histories; (iii) browsing history, search history, and information
regarding a consumer’s interaction with a website or advertisement; (iv) geolocation
data; (v) education information; (vi) inferences drawn from this information, such as
personal characteristics, predispositions, intelligence, aptitude, etc. Therefore, if you are
a California resident and a User of our Service, please be advised of the additional
rights for California consumers, which are summarized below.
15.2.1 Right of access: you have the right to request (and receive) disclosure from us
regarding: (i) specific pieces of Personal Information collected about you; (ii) categories
of Personal Information collected; (iii) categories of the sources from which the
information was collected; (iv) categories of Personal Information that we share or
disclosed for a business purpose; (v) categories of third parties with whom the Personal
Information was shared or disclosed; and (vi) the business or commercial purpose for
collecting or sharing Personal Information. This disclosure is limited to information
collected, sold, or disclosed in the past 12 months and does not cover sensitive
information like consumer’s social security number, drivers license number, account
password or financial account numbers. In addition, we are not required to search for
Personal Information if we: (i) do not maintain the Personal Information in a searchable
or reasonably accessible format; (ii) maintain the Personal Information solely for legal or
compliance purposes; (iii) do not sell the Personal Information and do not use it for any
commercial purpose; and (iv) describe to you the categories of records that may contain
Personal Information that we did not search because it meets the three conditions
stated above.
15.2.2 Right to request deletion: you also have a right to request your Personal
Information to be deleted. In this case, we will: (i) permanently and completely erase
your Personal Information on existing systems and direct our partners and/ or Service
Providers to do so, provided that, no exceptions are in place, or de-identifying the
information or otherwise modifying it to make it unreadable or undecipherable through
any means, and notify you that your Personal Information have been backed up or
archived and will be deleted when those systems are next accessed. Neither we, nor
our Service Providers are required to comply with your deletion request, if the Personal
Information is necessary to: (i) complete a transaction for which the Personal
Information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or otherwise
perform a contract between us and you; (ii) detect security incidents, protect against
malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity (or prosecute those responsible); (iii)
debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality; (iv)
exercise or ensure the right of another to exercise free speech or another legal right; (v)
comply with a legal obligation; or (vi) otherwise use the information internally in a lawful
manner compatible with the context in which you have provided it.
15.2.3 Right to opt-out of the sale of personal information. CCPA Regulations require us
to treat your user-enabled global privacy controls, such as a browser plug-in or privacy
setting, device setting, or other mechanism, that communicate or signal your choice to
opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information as valid opt-out requests. We must
comply with it as soon as feasibly possible, but at least within 15 days from receiving
the request. Please be advised that in practice the following scenarios involving
transfers of Personal Information between entities are potentially excluded from the
scope of a “sale”: (i) the linking, at the consumer’s request, of one online account to
another; (ii) sharing a particular device identifier with vendors to give effect to a
consumer’s opt-out request; (iii) standard relationships with third party vendors or
service providers who process data, provided appropriate contractual restrictions are in
place; or transfers of data on a merger, acquisition or insolvency event.
15.2.4 Right to opt-out of receiving electronic communications from us. If you no longer
want to receive marketing-related emails from us, you may opt-out via the unsubscribe
link included in such emails. We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as
reasonably practicable. Please note that if you opt-out of receiving marketing-related
emails from us, we may still send you other messages in connection with providing our
Service.
15.3 Upon verifying your identity, we will notify you that your request has been received
and is being processed. We will respond within 45 days after verification to any of your
access requests and deletion requests. The 45-day response time can be extended but
only with appropriate notice and explanation. The Data Controller maintains records of
your requests.
15.4 To meet CCPA requirements under item 15.2.3, provide links to the relevant opt out
methods of our Service Providers as per item 9.3 above.
15.5 Non-discrimination: the CCPA provides that you may not be discriminated against
for exercising the above rights. You can also designate an authorized agent to exercise
these rights on your behalf. We may require that you provide the authorized agent with
written permission to act on your behalf and that the authorized agent verify their
identity directly with us.
15.6 In addition to the above, we comply with the requirements of the Privacy Rights for
California Minors in the Digital World Act (“the Eraser Law”) as far as it is applicable to
our Service. This law provides additional protections to individuals under the age of 18
in California, including a right to be forgotten, which enable minors to remove their own
posts (but not republications of their posts or posts about them by others). The Eraser
Law also prohibits companies who operate websites or online services directed at
minors from using the minor’s personal information to market or advertise certain
enumerated products and services deemed potentially harmful for them.
15.7 Data Breach Notification under Cal. Civ. Code §§1798.29, 1798.82 and 1798.84.
We will notify you in due time of any unauthorized acquisition of unencrypted
computerized data that contains your Personal Information. This is in addition to any
other specific notification obligations for data breaches contained in other statutes.

compliance
The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (the “VCDPA”) takes effect on January 1,
2023, and affects companies and organizations that do business in Virginia or that
deliver products or services to residents of Virginia. The VCDPA requires companies

personal data, and manage how personal data is stored, as well as protect personal
data from breaches and abuse. By being in compliance with the GDPR and the
California’s CCPA/CPRA, ZENLINGO LLC also complies with the VCDPA and commits
to address all requests of consumers from Virginia within 45 days as of their receipt.
