We may also disclose your information to investigate violation of and enforce our Terms of Service. Please know that we do not take this responsibility lightly. Your privacy is of paramount importance to us.

These parties are contractually prohibited from using personally identifiable information for any purpose other than for the purpose Heyscribe specifies and are expected to provide the same level of protection for personal information as required by the EU-US DPF Principles.

We prohibit the sale or transfer of personal information to entities outside of the Heyscribe’s affiliates for their use without your approval.

Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary, and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our users. Heyscribe takes steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed secure.

Your use of the Website, Apps, and Services is at your own risk.
We treat the information you provide to us as confidential information; it is, accordingly, subject to our company’s security procedures and corporate policies regarding protection and use of confidential information. After personally identifiable information reaches Heyscribe it is stored on a server with physical and electronic security features as customary in the industry, including utilization of login/password procedures and electronic firewalls designed to block unauthorized access from outside of Heyscribe. Because laws applicable to personal information vary by country, our offices or other business operations may put in place additional measures that vary depending on the applicable legal requirements. Information collected on the sites covered by this Privacy Policy is processed and stored in the United States and possibly other jurisdictions and also in other countries where Heyscribe and its service providers conduct business. All Heyscribe employees are aware of our privacy and security policies and are required by Heyscribe to abide by these policies. Your information is only accessible to those employees who need it in order to perform their jobs.

If, as a result of such a business transition, your personally identifiable information will be used in a materially different manner, you will be given notice and the opportunity to give consent pursuant to our policy regarding notification of changes.

We also reserve the right to contact you if compelled to do so as part of a legal proceeding or if there has been a violation of any applicable licensing, warranty, or purchase agreements.

Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary to provide a service, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b). The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c). If the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect your vital interests or of another natural person, then the processing is based on Art.6(1)(d).

We will retain and use information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, archival purposes, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Cross Border Data Transfers; Storage
If and when sharing of information involves cross-border data transfers, for instance to the United States of America and other jurisdictions, Heyscribe uses EU Standard Contract Clauses and other suitable safeguards to permit data transfers from the EU to other countries. Where the Applications allow for users to be located in the European Union, their personal information may be transferred to countries outside of the EU. The Standard Contractual Clauses commit companies transferring and receiving your personal information to protecting the privacy and security of your data.
