7. International Data Transfers

As Husall 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.

8. Data Retention

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.

The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.

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.
