13. GDPR Compliance

AddCal takes the protection of EU and EEA residents' data seriously and complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our commitment to GDPR means we process your personal information legally, fairly, and transparently. We only collect data for specific, legitimate purposes and limit our collection to what's necessary. We work to keep your information accurate and store it only as long as needed. Your data is protected through appropriate security measures against unauthorized access, accidental loss, or damage. As a responsible data controller, we maintain accountability for our compliance with these principles.

The GDPR provides you with control over your personal information. You can ask to see what data we have about you, correct any inaccuracies, or request deletion in certain circumstances. You may also restrict how we use your information, receive a portable copy of your data, object to certain types of processing, and avoid being subject to decisions based solely on automated processing.

When we transfer your information outside the EU or EEA, we implement appropriate safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure your data remains protected according to EU standards.

If you have questions about your GDPR rights or wish to exercise them, please reach out to us at [email protected].
