5. Protection measures put in place by GRYZZLY

GRYZZLY collects and processes Users’ personal data in compliance with current regulations.

When disclosure of a User’s personal data to third parties is necessary and authorized, GRYZZLY ensures that these third parties guarantee to said personal data the same level of protection as that put in place by GRYZZLY. In this context, GRYZZLY asks each of its contractual partners for confirmation of compliance with the applicable regulations.

Users must exercise caution to prevent any unauthorized access to their personal data and in particular to their computer and digital terminals (computer, smartphone, tablet in particular).

6. Rights of Users

In accordance with current regulations, Users have the following rights, subject to legal and regulatory limitations:

Right to information on the collection and processing of personal data

Any User may, at any time, access personal information concerning him held by GRYZZLY. He has the right to receive a copy in electronic form (for any additional copy, GRYZZLY will be entitled to charge a fee based on the administrative costs incurred).

Each User has the right to request the deletion and/or correction of his personal data when these are erroneous or obsolete. GRYZZLY may retain certain personal data when required by law or for legitimate reasons.

Users may object at any time for legitimate reasons:

Users have the right to request that the processing of their personal data be limited to what is strictly necessary. This right is applicable only:

  • if the User concerned disputes the accuracy of his personal data;
  • if the User concerned justifies that the processing of his personal data is unlawful and requests a limitation of their use rather than a deletion;
  • if GRYZZLY no longer needs the personal data of the User concerned and that these are still necessary for the User to establish, exercise or defend legal rights;
  • if the User concerned objects to the processing of his personal data based on the legitimate interest of the controller, justifying an overriding legitimate interest.

Right of complaint to a supervisory authority

Any User, who considers that the efforts made by GRYZZLY to preserve the protection of his personal data do not guarantee the respect of their rights, has the possibility to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (CNIL or any other authority mentioned on the list available from the European Commission).

Right to the portability of their personal data

Users have the right to the portability of their personal data, authorising them to obtain from GRYZZLY the said personal data concerning them, in a structured, commonly used and legible format.

Users may in this context request that their personal data be transmitted to another controller.

Right to decide the fate of personal data after death

Users also have the right to organize the fate of their personal data after their death by adopting general or specific guidelines that GRYZZLY undertakes to respect.

In the absence of such directives, GRYZZLY recognizes to the heirs the possibility of exercising certain rights, in particular the right of access if it is necessary for the settlement of the succession of the deceased and the right of opposition.

Exercise by Users of their rights

To better respond to Users’ requests, GRYZZLY has spontaneously appointed a personal data protection officer (“DPO”).

Also, in order to exercise their rights, any User may contact the designated DPO, according to the following coordinates: GRYZZLY 90 cours Lafayette 69003 LYON (FRANCE) privacy@gryzzly.io

To help them in the exercise of their rights, GRYZZLY indicates to Users that the CNIL has established and made available to them, on its website accessible at the address www.cnil.fr, models of letters.

Before processing the Users’ request(s), GRYZZLY will be entitled to verify their identity, asking them for any useful proof.

The DPO will respond to each User’s request as soon as possible and in any event one (1) month from the User’s justification of his identity.

In the event of complexity of the requests and/or their number, this period may be extended by two (2) additional months, GRYZZLY undertaking in any event to inform the User concerned of the extension and the reasons for the postponement.

7. Amendment of the Charter

GRYZZLY reserves the right to make changes to the Charter at any time in order to comply with legislative and regulatory changes and/or to improve its personal data processing and protection policy.

In case of modification, a new version will be updated and put online with the date of Last update.

Any new version of the Charter must be subject to prior acceptance by Users.
