The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets different provisions for users from the European Economic Area (EEA) than those from countries outside of it. While our Privacy Policy clearly distinguishes between those different groups of users, we treat all our users' privacy with complete and equal seriousness, in compliance with applicable law.
When our widget is implemented on domains whose publishers are incorporated in the EEA, we treat all the users visiting this domain as if they were from the EEA.
We are Carambola Media Ltd, an Israeli company. Our principle place of business is at Hatidhar 17, Raanana, Israel.
As part of our operations, we deal with information relating to individuals. However, with the exception of email addresses you choose to give us through our website, we do not deal with any personal information of EU citizens at all: Not through our widgets and not through our website or in any other way.
If you choose to give us your email address through the form on our website, our Compliance Officer is responsible for how we use this limited personal information. They are Nadav Palmor, Product Manager, who can be contacted at contact@carambola.com. We use that email address to contact you and to provide you with information you have requested on our website - because it is in our legitimate interests to do so. We won't use your email address for anything else and you can always ask us to delete it address at any time. Otherwise we will keep that email address for 1 year. Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws to do with the email address you have given us, as summarised below. You have the right to:
Request access to personal information we hold about you (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it - but, as we say, it's just an email address you have provided to us.
Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove your email address where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it or where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (of our own or of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your email address for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your email address in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the accuracy of it; (b) where our use of it is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold it even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your email address but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your email address to you or to a third party. We can't imagine you will ever want to use this but we are obliged to tell you about it.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us on the details above. We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. You will not have to pay a fee to access information we have about you (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive - alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. Also, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
If you feel that we have not handled information relating to you properly, or if you have contacted us about how we use that information and are unhappy with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office online at ico.org.uk/concerns/
For opt-out information of the ad providers which we work with, please see the attached links. Note that we ourselves do not transfer your personal information to any of these ad providers.
