As Husali Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is based in India, your personal data will be transferred to and processed in India. India is considered a "third country" under GDPR, as it is outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Furthermore, some of the third-party service providers we use, such as Google Analytics, and Mailchimp (or similar), are based in or process data in the United States or other countries outside the EEA. Transfers of personal data to these countries are also considered international data transfers under GDPR.

To ensure your data is protected when transferred outside the EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, which may include:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Implementing the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses with the recipients of the data in third countries (including our service providers and for transfers to India). These are contractual commitments to protect your data according to EU standards.

By using our landing page and signing up, you acknowledge and agree that your data may be transferred to India, the United States, and potentially other countries outside the EEA under these conditions and with the mentioned safeguards in place.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

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

Specifically:

• Email address, business name, and phone number collected via the sign-up form: We will retain this data for the purpose of sending you launch notifications and marketing communications for a maximum of two (2) years from the time of collection or until you withdraw your consent or unsubscribe from our communications, whichever comes first.
• Data collected through Google Analytics: We retain user-level and event-level data associated with cookies and other identifiers in Google Analytics for a period of 26 months. This data is subject to Google's retention policies as well.
• Data from user inquiries and communications: We retain data from your communications with us for the duration necessary to handle your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter for our records, typically up to 12 months after the last communication, unless a longer retention period is required by law or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Under GDPR and German data protection laws, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
• The Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
• The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain conditions.
• The Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data under certain conditions, particularly where we are processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
• The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
• The Right to Withdraw Consent: If we are processing your data based on your consent (which is the case for your sign-up data), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 2.

If you have a complaint about our handling of your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or where the alleged infringement occurred.

For data protection matters in Germany, the competent supervisory authorities vary by state (Bundesland). You can find information on how to contact the Federal and State supervisory authorities on the website of the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI) here: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Kontakt/kontakt_node.html

• IP Addresses: When you visit our landing page, our servers automatically process your IP address. This is necessary to transmit the landing page content to your browser and ensure the security and stability of our systems. The processing of your IP address for these purposes is based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• Cookies: We use cookies on our landing page. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing or analytical purposes and may be placed without requiring your explicit consent.
• Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our landing page. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data such as the number of visitors, the pages they visit, and how they reached our site. This data helps us understand and improve our landing page's performance. These analytics cookies are non-essential.

Because we use non-essential cookies (such as those for Google Analytics), we are required to obtain your explicit consent before these cookies are placed on your device and their data is processed. We will implement a cookie banner or similar mechanism to allow you to provide or refuse this consent.

You can manage your cookie preferences, including withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies, at any time via the cookie banner or a dedicated link on our website.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
