UK & EEA Specific Notice
The European Union and the United Kingdom (“UK”) have enacted comprehensive privacy laws including the General Data Protection Regulation (collectively, the “GDPR”). The GDPR affords residents of the UK and European Economic Area (“EEA”) certain privacy protections and rights. Please note that ChatGPT and similar technologies are banned in certain countries. If ChatGPT is banned in your country, do not use our Services.

Under the GDPR, we are designated as a “Controller” for the collection and use of all information collected through this Website. For use of our customers’ personal data, we are designated as a ‘Processor.’ A list of our subprocessors is available to our enterprise customers on-demand.
Cross-Border Data Transfers:
We may transfer to, and store the data we collect about you, in countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected, including the United States, Canada or other destinations outside the EEA and the UK. Those countries may not have equivalent data protection laws as the country in which you provided the data. When we transfer your data to other countries, we will protect the data as described in this Privacy Policy and applicable supplemental product privacy policy and comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of data to countries outside the EEA.
If you are located in the EEA, we will only transfer your personal data if:

In addition to the rights granted above, if you are a UK or EEA resident, the GDPR grants you the right to lodge a complaint against us with your local data protection authority. You can find your data protection authority at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en.

It is important that you understand, however, that no website, Internet-connected device or online platform is completely secure. We cannot anticipate all potential misuse of your information, and as a result, cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us.
We generally retain consumer personal information for as long as necessary to provide our Services. We may also retain personal information if required by law, or for our legitimate interests, such as abuse detection and prevention, and defending ourselves from legal claims. Residual copies of personal data may be stored in backup systems for a limited period as a security measure to protect against data loss. For more information, please email us at privacy@lobby.so.
