ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR USERS IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

Personal Information

References to "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy are equivalent to "personal data" governed by European data protection legislation.

Controller

Slab is the controller of your personal information for purposes of European data protection legislation.

Lawful Basis for Data Processing

We will only collect, store, and process your personal information where a lawful basis for such processing exists, which will typically fall under one of the following scenarios:

  1. You, the Data Subject, have given consent to the processing of your personal information for one or more specific purposes, for example by consenting to terms and conditions on our website, and consenting to the terms of this Privacy Policy;
  2. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you, the Data Subject, are party;
  3. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we as a Controller is subject;
  4. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us as the Controller, or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of you, the Data Subject, which require protection of your personal information. The legitimate interests that underlie our processing of personal data include research and development, marketing and promoting the Services, and protecting our legal rights and interests.

Use for new purposes

We may use your personal information for reasons not described in this Privacy Policy where permitted by law and the reason is compatible with the purpose for which we collected it.

Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. For example, we keep account information for as long as the account is active, and for a reasonable period thereafter to ease reactivation if you choose to reactivate your account. If the Services are made available to you through an organization, e.g., your employer, we retain your information as long as required by the administrator of your account on their behalf.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your rights

European data protection laws give you certain rights regarding your personal information. You may ask us to take the following actions in relation to your personal information that we hold:

  • "Opt-out". Stop sending you direct marketing communications. You may continue to receive Service-related and other non-marketing emails.
  • "Access". Provide you with information about our processing of your personal information and give you access to your personal information.
  • "Correct". Update or correct inaccuracies in your personal information.
  • "Delete". Delete your personal information.
  • "Transfer". Transfer a machine-readable copy of your personal information to you or a third party of your choice.
  • "Object". Object to our reliance on our legitimate interests as the basis of our processing of your personal information that impacts your rights.
  • "Withdraw Consent". If our processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time.

You may also have the right to make a GDPR complaint to the relevant Supervisory Authority. A list of Supervisory Authorities is available here.

You can submit these requests by email to: support@slab.com. 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. If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal information or response to your requests regarding your personal information, you may contact us as described in Section 13 of our Privacy Notice or submit a complaint to the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction. You can find your data protection regulator here.

Cross-Border Data Transfer

Whenever we transfer your personal information out of the EEA to countries not deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of personal information protection, the transfer will be based on either use of approved standard contractual clauses or one of the safeguards recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for personal information, where required by EU data protection legislation.
