4. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information (For EEA/UK Users)

If you are an individual in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, we collect and process information about you only where we have legal bases for doing so under applicable EU and UK laws. The legal bases depend on the services you use and how you use them. This means we collect and use your information only where:

  • We need it to provide you the services, including to operate the services, provide customer support and personalized features, and to protect the safety and security of the services;
  • It satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote the services (including affiliate marketing and, in the future, targeted advertising) and to protect our legal rights and interests;
  • You give us consent to do so for a specific purpose (for example, for non-essential cookies as detailed in our Cookie Policy, or if you subscribe to a newsletter); or
  • We need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.

If you have consented to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place.

5. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy: https://thedigitizer.net/cookie-policy/. This includes information on cookies used for Google Analytics, affiliate links, and future advertising services.

6. Affiliate Disclosure

TheDigitizer.net participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on editorially chosen products or services purchased through our links to retailer sites.

Some of the links on TheDigitizer.net are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase an item or service, TheDigitizer.net will receive an affiliate commission. This commission comes at no additional cost to you. The price of the product or service is the same whether you purchase it through an affiliate link or directly from the vendor.

The commissions we earn through these affiliate links help us to cover the costs associated with running and maintaining TheDigitizer.net, such as hosting fees, software, and content creation. This allows us to continue providing valuable content, reviews, and resources to our readers.

We only recommend products or services that we have investigated and genuinely believe will provide value to our readers. Our participation in affiliate programs does not influence the information we provide or the opinions we express.

7. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:

  • By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including data analysis (e.g., Google Analytics), hosting services, and customer service.
  • Affiliate Partners: We share information with our affiliate partners to allow them to track affiliate sales originating from our Site.
  • Advertising Partners (Future Use): In the future, we may share data with third-party advertising companies (like Google) to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies may use information about your visits to our Site and other websites that are contained in web cookies to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
  • With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your consent.

We do not sell your personal information.

8. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

For specific retention periods of cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy: https://thedigitizer.net/cookie-policy/.

9. Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

If you are located in the EEA or UK, this means your information may be transferred outside of these regions, for example, to the United States where some of our third-party service providers (like Google) are based. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information (e.g., by relying on Standard Contractual Clauses or Adequacy Decisions).

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • 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 process it on the basis of legitimate interests.
  • 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.
