1.4. This Policy applies to all users of the Service, including bloggers, business representatives, website visitors, people contacting support and other persons whose data may be processed when the Service is used.
1.5. Using the Service means the user has read this Policy. If the user does not agree with the Policy in the applicable part, they must stop using the Service.
1.6. Accepting the Terms of Use does not in itself constitute general consent to any processing of personal data. Personal data needed to conclude and perform the Terms of Use is processed on the basis of clause 5, part 1, Article 6 of 152-FZ without separate consent; where the data subject's consent is required for specific purposes, the Operator requests it separately.
2. Legal grounds for processing
2.1. The Operator processes personal data only where there are legal grounds provided for by the law of the Russian Federation.
2.2. Processing of personal data needed to register a user, create and maintain an account, authenticate, provide the Service's functionality, organise collaborations, exchange messages between users, process subscription payments, send mandatory service notifications, handle requests and perform the Terms of Use is carried out on the basis of clause 5, part 1, Article 6 of 152-FZ, as processing necessary to conclude and perform a contract to which the data subject is a party, or to take steps at their request before concluding a contract.
2.3. Separate consent of the data subject is requested where processing is not necessary to conclude or perform the contract, or where such consent is expressly required by law. In particular, separate consent may be requested for:
- sending informational and advertising materials;
- subscribing to push notifications that are not strictly necessary for the Service to work;
- using analytics and marketing cookies, if such technologies are introduced and applicable law requires prior consent;
- processing additional information voluntarily provided by the user for purposes that are not required to use the core functionality of the Service.
2.4. Personal data may also be processed on other grounds provided for by 152-FZ, including:
- to fulfil obligations imposed on the Operator by law;
- to process personal data made publicly available by the data subject;
- to exercise the rights and legitimate interests of the Operator or third parties, provided the data subject's rights and freedoms are not infringed;
- to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
2.5. The data subject's consent may be given by ticking the relevant box in the interface, subscribing to a specific type of mailing, allowing push notifications, choosing cookie settings or other actions that clearly express the user's will. The user may withdraw consent at any time in the way stated when it was obtained, through the Service settings, in the browser settings or by contacting the Operator. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it.
2.6. The full texts of the consents given by users are available at:
- Consent to the processing of personal data;
- Consent to receive informational and advertising materials.
