Whenever such transfer occurs, it is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (according to EU Commission Decision 87/2010/EC or any future replacement) in order to contractually provide that your Personal Data is subject to a level of data protection that applies within the EEA.

User profiles provide the option to display personal information about you to other users, including but not limited to your name, photo, social media accounts, postal or email address, or both, and telephone number, personal interests, skills, and basic information about your company.
    These profiles may relate to a single web offering of Algonomy or, if created in the Algonomy Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Service, may also allow you to access other web offerings of Algonomy or of other entities of the Algonomy group, or both (irrespective of any consent granted under the section “Forwarding your Personal Data to other Algonomy companies.” below).

    Within any web offering, beyond the mere provision of access your profile is used to personalize interaction with other users (for example, by way of messaging or follow functionality) and by Algonomy to foster the quality of communication and collaboration through such offerings and for Algonomy to provide gamification elements (gamification is the process of taking something that already exists, such as a website, an enterprise application, or an online community, and integrating game mechanics into it to motivate participation, engagement, and loyalty).

Algonomy may, with your prior consent, share your Personal Data with our marketing partners to enable them to reach out to you for relevant marketing products and/or services that you may be interested in.

  7. Revocation of a consent granted hereunder. You may at any time withdraw a consent granted hereunder by unsubscribing at https://www.algonomy.com.br/contact. In case of withdrawal, Algonomy will not process Personal Data subject to this consent any longer unless legally required to do so. In case Algonomy is required to retain your Personal Data for legal reasons, your Personal Data will be restricted from further processing and only retained for the term required by applicable law. However, any such withdrawal has no effect on past processing of personal data by Algonomy up to the point in time of your withdrawal. Furthermore, if your use of an Algonomy offering requires your prior consent, Algonomy will not (any longer) be able to provide the relevant service (or services, if you revoke the consent for Algonomy to use your profile under the Algonomy Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Service for multiple Algonomy offerings), offer or event to you after your revocation.
