1.1 About the Privacy Policy. This Adoric Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) governs the processing of personal data collected from individual users through the website https://adoric.com, the related domain names, software, and services (collectively, “Adoric”). The Privacy Policy does not cover any third-party websites, applications, software, products or services that integrate with Adoric or are linked to from Adoric.

1.3 Our role as a data controller and data processor. We act in the capacity of a data controller and a data processor with regard to the personal data processed through Adoric in terms of the applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our role depends on the specific situation in which personal data is handled by us, as explained in detail below:

  • Data controller. We are responsible for the collection of your personal data through Adoric and their further use. We make decisions about the types of personal data that should be collected from you and purposes for which such personal data should be used. Therefore, we act as a data controller with regard to the personal data collected directly through Adoric (e.g., when you contact us or order our services). We comply with the data controller’s obligations set forth in the applicable laws.
  • Data processor. We act in the capacity of a data processor in situations when our clients collect certain personal data from individuals and submit that personal data for processing to Adoric (the “Service Data”). The Service Data may include information about individual’s purchases, online behaviour, and usage statistics. We do not own, control, or make decisions about the Service Data. We process the Service Data only in accordance with the instructions issued by a respective data controller (our client). To ensure that the Service Data is processed in accordance with the strictest data protection standards, we have drafted and offer for conclusion a data processing agreement (the “DPA”) that you can receive by contacting us.

1.4 Your consent. Before you submit any personal data through Adoric, you are encouraged to read this Privacy Policy that is always available on Adoric to understand on what legal bases (other than your consent) we rely when handling your personal data. In some cases, if required by the applicable law, we may seek to obtain your informed consent for the processing of your personal data. For example, you consent may be necessary if: (i) we intend to collect other types of personal data that are not mentioned in this Privacy Policy; (ii) we would like to use your personal data for other purposes that are not specified in this Privacy Policy; or (iii) we would like to transfer your personal data to third parties that are not listed in this Privacy Policy.

1.5 Minors. Adoric is not intended for use by children (i.e., persons who are minors in their country of residence). Therefore, we do not knowingly collect minors’ personal data. If you, as a parent or a legal guardian of a child, become aware that the child has submitted his/her personal data to us, please contact us immediately. We will delete your child’s personal data from our systems without undue delay.

1.6 Term and termination. This Privacy Policy enters into force on the effective date indicated at the top of the Privacy Policy and remains valid until terminated or updated by us.

1.7 Amendments. The Privacy Policy may be changed from time to time to address the changes in laws, regulations, and industry standards.

We use your personal data for limited, specified and legitimate purposes explicitly mentioned in this Privacy Policy. We do not use your personal data for any purposes that are different from the purposes for which it was provided. When processing personal data, we make sure that we do so by relying on one of the available legal bases. You can find more information about the legal bases below.

  • Sign up. When you sign up on our website, we collect your full name, email address, and password.
