In these instances, we will inform you through in-app notifications or other in-time communications.

    2.2 Use of Personal Information

    For the types of processing that are needed to provide the Services, we rely on the necessity of our processing of your information for the performance of the Services as a legal ground to collect and use your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For all other types of processing carried out under this Privacy Policy, we rely on our legitimate interests as a legal ground to collect and use your data in such ways.

You can set permissions and revoke access through your Meget account. If you share a document with another party, that party can download the document as long as they have access to it. Additionally, you may choose to create a public link and send that link to others. If you create a public link, anyone with that link can access in read-only mode and download it.

    2.4 Security

    We will take reasonable precautions to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, or alteration. This includes both physical and technological security measures. We follow generally accepted industry standards (e.g. encryption at rest and in transit, access control policies, etc.) to protect the personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security and you agree that you submit data to us at your own risk.

    2.5 Storage of Personal Information

    As a matter of principle, we store personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the contractual or legal obligations to which we have collected the data. Thereafter, we delete the data immediately, unless we need the data until the expiration of the statutory limitation period for evidence for civil claims or for statutory storage requirements.

    For evidence, we must retain contract information for three years from the end of the year in which the business relationship ends with you. Any claims become statute-barred after the legal limitation period at the earliest.

    Even after that, we sometimes have to save your data for accounting reasons. We are obliged to do so because of legal documentation obligations which may arise from legal obligations. The deadlines for storing documents are two to ten years.

    2.6 Transfer of Personal Information

    Meget ensures that the User's personal data processed outside the EU are treated securely and are protected against unauthorized access, loss or destruction, unlawful processing, and any processing which is inconsistent with the purposes set out in this privacy policy.

    The collected personal data may be transferred by Meget to recipients who are located outside the EU and such destinations may not have laws that protect the User’s personal data to the same extent as in the EU.

    Please find the relevant information on personal data transfer:

  • Meget may transfer your email address and other necessary information such as your name to email delivery service providers outside the EU to deliver promotional emails to you;

In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which is implemented by us without specifying any particular situation.

    You also have the right to revoke a consent once given to us at any time. As a result, we will not continue the data processing based on this consent for the future. By the revocation of the consent, the legality of the processing on the basis of the consent until the revocation is not affected.

    2.8 GDPR

    Meget has a range of privacy and security controls across its organizations to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including, but not limited to:

  • GDPR-compliant data protection agreements with all customers for whom Meget Processes Personal Data;
  • A PIA driven process to ensure that all products and services are built with Privacy By Design;
  • An extensive, on-going training program for its employees, with data privacy and protection education upon hiring and then again at least on an annual basis;
  • State-of-the-art technical and security measures, including data encryption at rest and in transit;
  • Records of processing which include mapped storage and transfer of Personal Data throughout Meget's product-lines;
  • Appropriate access right limitations;
  • Company-wide systems for protecting Data Subject rights, ensuring that individual access/portability/right-to-be-forgotten rights are respected;
  • and Appointment of a Data Protection Officer.

    • Whenever Meget transfers personal information beyond the country of origin, we will do so in accordance with applicable laws. In the context of its European operations, Meget may transfer Personal Data abroad to other states in the European Economic Area or to third countries. With the decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Schrems II case, Meget has evaluated the data transfers necessary for its multinational operations. In light of Schrems II, Meget will ensure that importers of any Personal Data offer an adequate level of protection, whether through an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguard under Article 46.

    To the extent Personal Data processed by Meget would be transferred to a country outside the EEA not deemed to ensure an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of Personal Data, Meget has in place requirements relating to such international data transfers. For example, where data is transferred: (i) between Meget affiliates, this is done pursuant to an agreement based on the EU's Data Export Contractual Clauses, and (ii) to third parties, Meget uses standard contractual clauses designed to ensure those third parties respect the confidentiality of personal data and use it only in connection with provision of specific services and in compliance with applicable data privacy laws. The EU Standard Contractual Clauses can be viewed on the European Commission's website here. https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en(Open a new window). As per the guidance of the European Data Protection Board, Meget has implemented programs to review such data transfers and to employ additional safeguards when appropriate for the data processing required by law and our customer contracts.

    With respect to personal data received or transferred, Meget is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

    2.10 Use of Web Analytics and Additional Services

    Web analytics and the other named services in this section are used for the continuous optimization of our website. The tracking provides a statistically record of the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer to you. From time to time, we employ data processing and collection services and tools to help us provide you with the best services available. Examples of at least some of the data collection and/or processing services are found in the corresponding list below. Note that the list may change from time to time and is provided solely as examples of how we collect data. The legal basis for the data processing described in the following section is our authorized interest in the needs-based design and continuous optimization of our website.

    a. Google Analytics

    For the purpose of the customized design and continuous improvement of our website we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.com) (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; in following "Google"). In this context, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and cookies are used. Information generated by the cookies about your use of this website include:

  • Browser type / version;
  • Operating system;
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page);
  • IP address of the accessing computer;
  • Time of server request;
  • Pages visited.

    • This information is transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and tailor-made website design. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data in the order. The data accumulated in this context is transmitted by Google for evaluation to a server in the USA and stored there. In the event that personal data is transferred to the USA, Google is subjected to the EU-US Privacy Shield. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with any other data provided by Google. The IP addresses are anonymized, so that an assignment is not possible.

    You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case not all features of this website may be fully exploited. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

An opt-out cookie will be set which will prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must reset the opt-out cookie again.

    b. Google AdWords Conversion Tracking

    To statistically record the use of our website and to optimize and evaluate it, this website also uses the Google Conversion Tracking tool (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google")). Here, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google advertisement. After 30 days these cookies lose their validity and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the website of the AdWords customer and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

    Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords tracks the total number of users who have clicked on our ad and proceeded to a provided with a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the required setting of a cookie - for example, via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com". In the event that personal data is transferred to the USA, Google is subjected to the EU-US Privacy Shield. Google's privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html).

    2.11 Promotional and Newsletters

    We provide you the opportunity to consent to having your personal data used for certain purposes when we ask for this data. We will also give you the opportunity to 'opt-out' at any time.
