Legal Basis for Processing (EEA only)
If you are an individual from the
European Economic Area (EEA), please note that our legal basis for collecting
and using your personal information will depend on the personal information
collected and the specific context in which we collect it. We normally will
collect personal information from you only where: (a) we have your consent to
do so, (b) where we need your personal information to perform a contract with
you (e.g. to deliver the OTAPush Services you have requested), or (c) where the
processing is in our legitimate interests. Please note that in most cases, if
you do not provide the requested information, OTAPush will not be able to
provide the requested service to you.
In some cases, we may also have a
legal obligation to collect personal information from you, or
may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or
those of another person.
Where we rely on your consent to
process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw or decline consent
at any time. Where we rely on our legitimate interests to process your personal
data, you have the right to object.

need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use
your personal information, please contact us at

We work with other companies who help
us run our business ("Service Providers"). These companies provide

marketing support, and otherwise operate and improve our Services. These
Service Providers may only process personal information pursuant to our
instructions and in compliance both with this Privacy Policy and other

own marketing purposes or for any other purpose than in connection with the
services they provide to us. Your end-user data is not shared with any Service
Provider.

In the event of a merger, sale, change in control, or

respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or

Where we have a good-faith belief sharing is necessary to
investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal
activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the
physical safety of any person, violations of our Service Agreement, or as
otherwise required to comply with our legal obligations; or
·
as you may otherwise consent from time to time.
We do not sell, rent, or share
personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

OTAPush may aggregate data we acquire
about our Customers and their End Users, including the Log Data described

website to compile statistics and help with usage analytics. Such non-personally
identifiable, aggregated data is also not shared with any third-party.
6. International Information Transfers
OTAPush is an India-based, global
company. We primarily store your information in the United States. To
facilitate our global operations, we may transfer and access such information
from around the world, including from other countries in which OTAPush has
operations for the purposes described in this Policy.
If you are accessing or using our Websites or Services or otherwise providing information to
us, you are agreeing to the transfer of your personal information to the United
States and other jurisdictions in which we operate.
7. Data Subject Rights (Applicable to EEA)
Attendees, Website
Visitors, and Customers
: You have the right to access, correct, update, export, or
delete your personal information. You may email us at support@OTAPush.com with
any such subject access requests ("SAR"), and we will respond within
thirty (30) days. Customers also can access, correct, export, or update their
Account Information by editing their profile or organization record at OTAPush.com.
End Users
: You have the right to
access, correct, update, export, or delete your personal information. You can
delete your information stored with us by unsubscribing from notifications. OTAPush
automatically removes expired endpoints and associated data. You may also email
us at support@OTAPush.com with any such subject access requests
("SAR") with your Subscription Key, and we will respond within thirty
(30) days. For our onsite messaging and marketing automation platform you can
send the subject access requests ("SAR") to support@OTAPush.com as
well. In case our Customers receive a SAR from an
end-user regarding our service, OTAPush will unequivocally comply with the
request.
For any SAR, we will need to verify a
requestor is inquiring about their own information before we can assist. Where
a SAR may implicate the personal data of another individual, we must balance
the request against the risk of violating another person’s privacy rights. We
will comply with SARs to the extent required by applicable law. In the EU, you
also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
8. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
The CCPA, California Civil Code
Sections 1798.100 et seq., provides certain rights, if you are a California
resident. For example, California residents may have a right, following a
verifiable request, to:
·
access the specific personal information collected about
them during the twelve (12) months prior to their request.
·
know a business’s data collection practices, including the
categories of personal information collected, the source of the information,
the use and disclosure of such information by the business.
·
deletion of such personal information.
·
prohibit sale of personal information to third parties.
·
anti-discrimination for exercising a right.
To request access to your personal
information or request that we delete your personal information, you may
contact us on the information provided at the end of this privacy policy under
Section 16. Please specify in your request the details of what personal
information you would like to access or delete.
Given the nature of anonymization of
end user subscription, we may require you to provide further information such
as the browser endpoint address or OTAPush subscriber ID to access the
information available.
9. Data Portability
We strive for data portability. You
can export all the endpoints and associated data required for web push and move
to a different service pursuant to the conditions mentioned below. If you
require data portability please make sure you use your
own FCM/GCM/VAPID configuration, while registering for OTAPush or while adding
a new website to your OTAPush account and also use your own HTTPS
domain/subdomain.
Technical Limitations:
If you use HTTP integration method
then the subscriptions are bound to a OTAPush subdomain, so you cannot move
this subscription data to a different service due to technical limitations.
Similarly, if you use the HTTPS method of integration but do not use your own
FCM/GCM/VAPID configuration, your subscriptions will be tied to OTAPush, and
you cannot move this subscription data to a different service. Additional
technical limitations apply to Safari desktop and to legacy products.
You can request for a data export by
reaching out to
support@OTAPush.com.
10. Data Retention
We retain your personal information to
provide services to you and as otherwise necessary to comply with our legal
obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We will retain your
personal information for no more 90 days following the date on which you
terminate your use of the Services, unless we are
otherwise required by law or regulation to retain your personal information for
longer.
11. Communication Preferences
You may manage your receipt of
commercial communications by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link
located on the bottom of such emails, through your account settings if you have
a OTAPush account, or you may send a request to
support@OTAPush.com.
12. Data Security, Data Integrity
We take all reasonable steps to
protect information we receive from you from loss, misuse or unauthorized
access, disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction. We have put in place
appropriate physical, technical, and administrative measures to safeguard and
secure your information, and we make use of privacy-enhancing technologies such
as encryption. Please be aware that, despite our efforts, no security system is
impenetrable. In the event of a security breach, we will promptly notify you
and the proper authorities if required by law. If you have any questions about
the security of your personal information, you can contact us at
support@OTAPush.com.
13. Notification Of Changes

consent), as well as post the updated Policy on this website noting the
effective date of any changes.
