These legal obligations and protection of vital interests serve as additional legal bases for processing personal data.
16. RIGHT TO ACCESS PERSONAL DATA
As a data subject, you have a right to obtain confirmation from Jamespropertyuniversity.io as to whether we are processing your personal data. If we are processing your personal data, you have the right to access a variety of information. This includes details on the purpose(s) of the

19. RIGHT TO RESTRICT PROCESSING
You have a right to request that Jamespropertyuniversity.io restricts the processing of your personal data under any of the following conditions: you contest the accuracy of your personal data being processed by Jamespropertyuniversity.io and request a temporary restriction on processing for a sufficient period to enable Jamespropertyuniversity.io to verify its accuracy; Jamespropertyuniversity.io's processing of your personal data is unlawful, but you oppose the erasure of your personal data and instead request a restriction on its use; your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which Jamespropertyuniversity.io has collected or otherwise processed it, but you require the retention of your personal data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or you have exercised your right to object to processing, and Jamespropertyuniversity.io is in the process of verifying whether it has overriding legitimate grounds to continue processing your personal data.
If you validly exercise your right to restrict processing, Jamespropertyuniversity.io may store your personal data but cannot otherwise process it without your consent, except where processing your personal data is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; processing is required to protect the rights of another natural or legal person; or processing is necessary for reasons of important public interest of the EU or a Member State. In such cases, Jamespropertyuniversity.io will inform you before lifting the restriction on processing.
20. RIGHT TO OBJECT TO PROCESSING
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information by Jamespropertyuniversity.io under certain circumstances. If the processing of your personal data is based on legitimate interests pursued by Jamespropertyuniversity.io or a third party, you can object to such processing on grounds relating to your specific situation, including personal or family circumstances, health-related concerns, or any other factors that may significantly affect your rights and freedoms. If you exercise this right, Jamespropertyuniversity.io shall no longer process your personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Additionally, you have the right to object, at any time, to Jamespropertyuniversity.io's processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing, as well as any potential sharing or selling of your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

If you are not satisfied with the response or actions taken by Jamespropertyuniversity.io, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
21. RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY
The right to data portability allows you to maintain control over your personal data and to reuse it across different services. It ensures that you can easily switch between different service providers or platforms without losing your data or having to re-input it manually. This right aims to promote competition and innovation by encouraging interoperability between different platforms and services. When exercising your right to data portability, the personal data that you may request could include your account information, transaction history,
preferences, and any other information that you have provided to Jamespropertyuniversity.io. The data portability right does not extend to any data that Jamespropertyuniversity.io has generated or inferred about you, such as analytics data or any information derived from your activities on the platform.
Jamespropertyuniversity.io is responsible for taking the necessary precautions to ensure the security and integrity of your personal data during the transmission process. This may involve encrypting the data to prevent unauthorized access or tampering. Additionally, Jamespropertyuniversity.io should provide clear instructions on how to request data portability and any technical requirements that the third party must meet to receive the data. When considering a third party to receive your personal data, it is essential to verify that they have appropriate data protection measures in place and comply with relevant data protection laws and regulations. It is also crucial to ensure that the third party's data processing activities align with your expectations and consent.
Keep in mind that the right to data portability does not equate to the right to erasure. Although you may have transmitted your personal data to a new service provider, you may still need to request the erasure of your data separately if you wish to delete your data from Jamespropertyuniversity.io.
In summary, the right to data portability promotes user control over personal data and encourages competition and innovation among service providers. By exercising this right, you can request a copy of your personal data or have it transmitted directly to a third party, provided it is technically feasible and does not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of others.
22. RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT TO PROCESSING
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data by Jamespropertyuniversity.io if the processing is based on your explicit consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time, and the withdrawal will not affect the legality of any processing that occurred before the withdrawal. To withdraw your consent, you can contact Jamespropertyuniversity.io using the contact information provided in their Privacy Policy. Keep in mind that withdrawing your consent may impact your ability to use certain services or features offered by Jamespropertyuniversity.io that rely on your personal data.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data by Jamespropertyuniversity.io is unlawful or improper, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a Supervisory Authority. This authority is an independent public authority established by an EU Member State under Article 51 of the GDPR. To lodge a complaint, you should contact the Supervisory Authority in the Member State where you are a citizen.
If you are unsure which Supervisory Authority to contact, you can reach out to Jamespropertyuniversity.io using the contact information provided in their Privacy Policy.
They will then make their best effort to assist you in identifying the appropriate Supervisory Authority in your jurisdiction.
23. RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH A SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY
Lodging a complaint with a Supervisory Authority provides you with a formal avenue for addressing concerns regarding the processing of your personal data. The Supervisory Authority will investigate your complaint and may take enforcement action against Jamespropertyuniversity.io if it determines that there has been a violation of data protection laws and regulations.

Privacy Policy
Let’s talk about your privacy

This Privacy Policy describes the policies and procedures of Podia Labs, Inc. (“Podia”, “we”, “our” or “us”) on the collection, use and disclosure of your information on www.podia.com (the “Site”) and the services, features, content or applications we offer (together with the Site, the “Services”).

We receive information about you from various sources, including: (i) if you register for the Site and the Services, through your user account on the Services (your “Account”); (ii) your use of the Services generally; and (iii) from various third party websites and other services. All defined terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Terms of Service, available at https://www.podia.com/terms.

What does our policy cover?

This Privacy Policy covers Podia’s processing of Personal Data that Podia gathers when you are accessing and using the Services. As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Data” means any information that can be used to individually identify a person, and “processing” generally covers actions that can be performed in connection with data such as collection, use, storage and disclosure.

This Privacy Policy also covers Podia’s treatment of any Personal Data that Podia’s business partners share with Podia or Podia shares with its business partners. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties, and their sites, services or applications that Podia does not own or control, or to individuals that Podia does not employ or manage (“Third Parties”). While we attempt to provide access only to those Third Parties that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content, actions or privacy policies of those Third Parties. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Parties you access.

If you are a resident of the European Union, United Kingdom, Lichtenstein, Norway, or Iceland, you may have additional rights under European Union Regulation (EU) No. 2016/679 of 27 April 2016, also known as the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR (the “GDPR”) with respect to your Personal Data, as outlined below. Podia may be the controller of your Personal Data processed in connection with the Services for purposes of the GDPR. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or whether any of the following applies to you, please contact us at hello@podia.com.

Note that we may also process Personal Data of our users’ own customers, end users, or employees in connection with our provision of services to customers, in which case we are the processor of Personal Data for purposes of the GDPR. If we are the processor of your Personal Data (i.e., not the controller) for purposes of the GDPR, please contact the controller of your Personal Data (i.e., the user or individual providing the course, product, or other offering in connection with which you provided your Personal Data) in the first instance to address your rights with respect to such data.

What Personal Data does Podia Collect From You?

We disclaim responsibility for the information of others that you provide to us in the course of your use of the Services.

In order to collect payments on your behalf from your customers, and provide payments to you, we, using Stripe as a third-party payment processor, collect payment information from you, your attendees and customers, your vendors, and other parties to whom we provide payments on your behalf and from whom we collect payments on your behalf. This information is used solely to collect and provide payments related to the Services, and is only stored by Stripe. You should review the terms of service and privacy policies of Stripe, available at https://stripe.com/us/legal& https://stripe.com/us/privacy.

Information we receive from third party sources: We have built services from some third parties into the Site, and those third parties provide us with Personal Data about you, such as the following:

• Account information for third party services: If you interact with a third party service when using our Services, such as if you use a third party service to log-in to our Services (for example, signing up for an account with Facebook Connect), or if you share content from our Services through a third party social media service, the third party service will send us information about you, such as information from your public profile, if the third party service and your account settings allow such sharing. The information we receive will depend on the policies and your account settings with the third party service.

• Information from our advertising partners: We receive information about you from some of our service providers who assist us with marketing or promotional services related to how you interact with our Site and Services.

• Information from our service providers: We receive information collected by third parties about your use of the Services. For example, we may use analytics service providers to analyze how you interact and engage with the Services and our advertisements, so we can learn and make enhancements to offer you a better experience. Some of these entities may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites, which may include tracking activity across time and unaffiliated properties, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. Third parties may also help us provide you with customer support, and provide us with information so that we may help you use our Services.

• IP address
• Device identifiers

• Cookies and other tracking technologies (see below for more information)
• Log data (e.g. access times, hardware and software information)

Additional Information about Cookies:

The Services use cookies and similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, and JavaScript (collectively, “Cookies”) to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit and use our Site and Services, to analyze trends, learn about our user base and operate and improve our Services. Cookies are small files – usually consisting of letters and numbers – placed on your computer, tablet, phone, or similar device when you use that device to visit our Site. We sometimes combine information collected through Cookies that is not Personal Data with Personal Data that we have about you, for example, to tell us who you are or whether you have an account with us. We may also supplement the information we collect from you with information received from third parties.

Cookies can either be “session Cookies” or “persistent Cookies”. Session Cookies are temporary Cookies that are stored on your device while you are visiting our Site or using our Services, whereas “persistent Cookies” are stored on your device for a period of time after you leave our Site or Services. The length of time a persistent Cookie stays on your device varies from Cookie to Cookie. We use persistent Cookies to store your preferences so that they are available for the next visit, and to keep a more accurate account of how often you visit our Services, how often you return, how your use of the Services may vary over time. We also use persistent Cookies to measure the effectiveness of advertising efforts. Through these Cookies, we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our Services. Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” or “DNT” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites, and web applications, and services that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. Because we collect browsing and persistent identifier data, the Services do not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we may collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Services and after you leave our properties.

Some Cookies are placed by a third party on your device and may provide information to us and third parties about your browsing habits (such as your visits to our Site or Services, the pages you have visited and the links and advertisements you have clicked). These Cookies can be used to determine whether certain third party services are being used, to identify your interests, to retarget advertisements to you and to serve advertisements to you that we or others believe are relevant to you. We do not control third party Cookies.

We use the following types of Cookies:

• Essential Cookies. Essential Cookies that are required for providing you with features or services that you have requested. For example, certain Cookies enable you to log into secure areas of our Site or Services. Disabling these Cookies may make certain features and services unavailable.

• Functionality Cookies. Functional Cookies are used to record your choices and settings regarding our Services, maintain your preferences over time and recognize you when you return to our Services. These Cookies help us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

• Performance/Analytical Cookies. Performance/Analytical Cookies allow us to understand how visitors use our Site and Services such as by collecting information about the number of visitors to the Site, what pages visitors view on our Site and how long visitors are viewing pages on the Site. Performance/Analytical Cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns in order to help us improve our campaigns and the Services’ content for those who engage with our advertising. For example, Google, Inc. (“Google”) uses cookies in connection with its Google Analytics services. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Services is subject to the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You have the option to opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page at https://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/ .

• Retargeting/Advertising Cookies. Retargeting/Advertising Cookies collect data about your online activity and identify your interests so that we can provide advertising that we believe is relevant to you. For more information about this, please see the section below titled “Additional information about interest-based advertisements.”

You can decide whether or not to accept Cookies. One way you can do this is through your internet browser’s settings. Most browsers have an option for turning off the Cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new Cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allow you to decide on acceptance of each new Cookie in a variety of ways. You can also delete all Cookies that are already on your computer. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some Services and functionalities may not work.

To explore what Cookie settings are available to you, look in the “preferences” or “options” section of your browser’s menu. To find our more information about Cookies, including information about how to manage and delete Cookies, please visit https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies/ or https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.

Additional information about interest-based advertisements:

• We may serve advertisements, and also allow third party ad networks, including third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms, to serve advertisements through the Services. These advertisements may be targeted to users who fit certain general profile categories or display certain preferences or behaviors (“Interest-Based Ads”). Information for Internet-Based Ads (including Personal Data) may be provided to us by you, or derived from the usage patterns of particular users on the Services and/or services of Third Parties. Such information may be gathered through tracking users’ activities across time and unaffiliated properties. To accomplish this, we or our service providers may deliver Cookies, including a file (known as a “web beacon”) from an ad network to you through the Services. Web beacons allow ad networks to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and repo rting for us and for advertiser s. Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Web beacons allow ad networks to view, edit or set their own Cookies on your browser, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.

• Through the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”), several media and marketing associations have developed an industry self-regulatory program to give consumers a better understanding of and greater control over ads that are customized based on their online behavior across different websites. To make choices about Interest-Based Ads from participating third parties, including to opt out of receiving behaviorally targeted advertisements from participating organizations, please visit the DAA’s or NAI’s consumer opt out pages, which are located at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ or https://www.aboutads.info/choices. Users in the European Union should visit the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance’s user information website https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.

• We do not share your Personal Data with advertisers without your consent. However, if you click on or otherwise interact with an advertisement there is a possibility that the advertiser may place a Cookie in your browser and note that it meets the criteria they selected.

Afterwards, we retain some information in a depersonalized or aggregated form but not in a way that would identify you personally.

What Security Measures Do We Use?

We seek to protect Personal Data using appropriate technical and organizational measures based on the type of Personal Data and applicable processing activity.
