1 WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
Personal information you disclose to us
In Short: We collect personal information that you provide to us, the specifics of which depend on your user type (individual or business) and interaction with our Services.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Services, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise when you contact us. All processing is conducted lawfully, fairly, and transparently, in strict compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other applicable EU data protection laws, and the relevant data protection legislation of Georgia.

Personal Information Provided by You. The personal information we collect depends on whether you are interacting with us as an individual consumer (B2C User) or as a representative of a legal entity/entrepreneur (B2B User), the context of your interactions, the choices you make, and the products/features you use. We adhere to the principle of data minimization, collecting only the information necessary for the specified purposes.

The personal information we may collect includes:

• For Individual Consumers (B2C Users):

  • First Name and Last Name: To identify you, personalize communication, and process your order. Legal Basis: Performance of a contract.
  • Email Address: For account creation/management, order confirmation, essential communication regarding your purchase, and service delivery (e.g., digital product access). Legal Basis: Performance of a contract.
  • Country and State/Region (where applicable): Collected primarily to determine your location for applying the correct Value Added Tax (VAT) rate as required by EU regulations for B2C sales of digital services and goods, and for compliance with geographic service limitations. Legal Basis: Legal obligation.
  • Phone Number: Optional

• For Business Customers (B2B Users - Legal Entities/Entrepreneurs):

  • Representative's First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Phone Number: Contact details for the individual representing the business for communication, account management, and support. Legal Basis: Performance of a contract; Legitimate interest.
  • Company Identification Information: This information is required only if you, as a B2B User, request formal invoicing for your company's tax and accounting purposes. This data must be provided accurately through your user profile settings as outlined in our user instructions. It typically includes:
    • Official Company Name
    • Company Identification Number (e.g., VAT ID, Tax Identification Number, Georgian Identification Code)
    • Full Legal / Billing Address (Country, State/Region, City, Street Address, Zip Code)
  • Purpose and Legal Basis for B2B Company Data: We process this specific company information based on your explicit action of providing it for invoicing. The legal bases are: (a) Performance of a contract (to provide a requested B2B invoice) and (b) Legal obligation (to comply with tax and invoicing regulations in Georgia and/or the EU). This data is used exclusively for issuing correct invoices, transaction verification, fraud prevention, and fulfilling mandatory accounting/tax requirements. It is not used for marketing without explicit consent.

Sensitive Information. We do not process sensitive personal information (as defined by GDPR Article 9, such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, etc.).

Payment Data. We collect data necessary to process your payment if you make purchases.

• Via PayPal: This involves data handled directly by PayPal according to their privacy policy: https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/paypal/privacy-full . We do not store sensitive payment details like your full payment instrument number or security code processed by PayPal.
• Via Bank Transfer: We receive limited information necessary to identify your payment, such as transaction IDs and sender reference details (which might include your name or order number if you provide it). We do not collect or store your bank account number or other financial credentials from your initiating bank. (Further details under 'Data Processing Related to Bank Transfers' below).

Social Media Login Data. We may provide you with the option to register with us using your existing social media account details, like your Facebook, Google, or other social media account. If you choose to register in this way, we will collect certain profile information about you from the social media provider, as described in Section 6 HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS? below.

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

Information automatically collected
In Short: Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our Services for operational and security purposes.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information, unless linked to your logged-in account) but may include device and usage information. This processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of maintaining the security and operation of our Services, for internal analytics (in aggregated or anonymized form where possible), and reporting purposes, compliant with GDPR principles.   

Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. You can find out more about this in our Cookie Notice: https://codehunger.net/cookie-policy.

The information we automatically collect includes:

• Log and Usage Data. Service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our Services (e.g., IP address, access times, pages viewed, features used, device event information like errors). Legal Basis: Legitimate interest (security, service operation, improvement); Legal obligation (e.g., security incident logging).
• Device Data. Information about the device you use (e.g., IP address, device type, browser type, operating system). Legal Basis: Legitimate interest (service optimization, security).
• Location Data. We collect imprecise location data derived from your IP address, such as your country and potentially region/city. This is necessary for: (a) security (e.g., identifying suspicious login locations), (b) compliance (e.g., determining if VAT applies based on EU location), and (c) service optimization (e.g., setting language). We do not collect or process precise GPS-based location data from your device.

2 HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with the law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services, including:

• To facilitate account creation and authentication and otherwise manage user accounts. We may process your information so you can create and log in to your account, as well as keep your account in working order.
• To deliver and facilitate delivery of services to the user. We may process your information to provide you with the requested service.
• To respond to user inquiries/offer support to users. We may process your information to respond to your inquiries and solve any potential issues you might have with the requested service.
• To send administrative information to you. We may process your information to send you details about our products and services, changes to our terms and policies, and other similar information.
• To fulfil and manage your orders. We may process your information to fulfil and manage your orders, payments, returns, and exchanges made through the Services.
• To enable user-to-user communications. We may process your information if you choose to use any of our offerings that allow for communication with another user.
• To request feedback. We may process your information when necessary to request feedback and to contact you about your use of our Services.
• To send you marketing and promotional communications. We may process the personal information you send to us for our marketing purposes.
• To protect our Services. We may process your information as part of our efforts to keep our Services safe and secure, including fraud monitoring and prevention.
• To identify usage trends. We may process information about how you use our Services, including analysing usage patterns across different geographic locations (based on data such as country and state/region), to better understand how they are being used so we can improve them.
• To determine the effectiveness of our marketing and promotional campaigns. We may process your information to better understand how effective our campaigns are in different geographic locations (based on data such as country and state/region) and how to provide marketing and promotional campaigns that are most relevant.
• To save or protect an individual's vital interest. We may process your information when necessary to save or protect an individual’s vital interests, such as to prevent harm.
• To comply with legal obligations: We use your billing address to verify payment details, issue accurate invoices required by law, and comply with applicable financial regulations and tax requirements based on your location and ours.
• To perform a contract.
• To protect legitimate interests.
• To improve and personalize services.

When you engage in transactions requiring payment through our Services, the specific billing information we process depends on whether you are interacting as a business client (B2B) or an individual consumer (B2C):

• For B2B Clients: We process the full billing address that you provide. This is often required by you for your own invoicing and internal accounting purposes, and it enables us to issue formal business invoices. Processing this full address is necessary to fulfil and manage your orders, perform our contract with you, and comply with legal obligations related to B2B transactions.
• For B2C Clients: You are generally not required to provide your full street billing address. However, providing your country and state/region is mandatory during the payment process. We require this specific location information (country and state/region) primarily to comply with our legal obligations. This allows us to determine and apply the correct sales tax, VAT, or other indirect taxes as mandated by tax laws applicable to your location, ensuring our compliance.

In both scenarios, processing the necessary billing or location information helps us verify payments and meet our financial and legal requirements. This data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill these essential purposes or as mandated by applicable law.

Data Processing Related to Bank Transfers

If you choose Bank Transfer as your payment method, we will provide you with our necessary bank account details to complete the payment. You must then initiate the transfer independently using your own bank's services (e.g., online banking, mobile app, or in-person). No bank account details or other financial credentials are collected or entered directly on our website for this specific payment method.

The Company does not collect or store your bank account information or any other financial credentials. All bank transfers are initiated entirely by you through your own financial institution.

To ensure we can correctly identify your payment and allocate it to your order or account without delays, it is essential that you include specific identifying information in the payment reference or description field when making the transfer through your bank. We strongly recommend including details such as your order number, invoice number (if applicable), and/or your full name or unique user identifier associated with your account.

We only receive the limited reference information that you include, as transmitted via the payment notification from the banking system. This reference information provided by you is processed by us solely for the purpose of order verification, payment matching (linking the payment to the correct user and order), and fulfilling our contractual obligations to you.

Such data (e.g., the details included in the payment reference) is stored only for as long as necessary to verify the payment and comply with relevant accounting or legal obligations. This data is protected according to our general data protection and retention policies.

By choosing the bank transfer payment method and subsequently including your identifying data in the reference field when initiating the transfer through your bank, you acknowledge that this reference data will be received and processed by us for the sole purposes stated above, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

3 WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal ¹ reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfil our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfil our legitimate business interests.

The legal bases we rely on for processing your personal information depend on how you interact with our Services and the governing laws. We primarily operate based on the data protection principles and requirements applicable in the European Union (EU), which are particularly relevant for our compliance with schemes like the VAT Mini One-Stop Shop (MOSS), and the data protection laws of Georgia.

Applicable data protection laws, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant Georgian legislation, require us to explain the valid legal bases we use to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases:

• Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. [Optional: Consider adding a link or reference here to how users can withdraw consent, as mentioned in the original text: "Learn more about withdrawing your consent."]
• Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or responding to your requests prior to entering into a contract with you.
• Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
  • Send users information about special offers and discounts on our products and services (where permissible and in accordance with your preferences).
  • Analyse how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users.
  • Support our marketing activities.
  • Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities.
  • Understand how our users use our products and services so we can improve user experience.
• Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved. This includes obligations related to taxation (like VAT/MOSS reporting based on location) and financial record-keeping.
• Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

4 WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

In Short: We may share your personal information in specific situations described in this section, such as during business transfers, when you publicly share information or interact with other users, with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our Services, or when legally required to do so.

We may need to share your personal information in the following situations and with the following parties:

• Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. Should such a transfer occur, the acquiring company will be subject to the commitments made in this Privacy Policy with respect to your previously collected information.  
• Third-Party Service Providers. We share information with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ('Service Providers') who perform essential services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to carry out that work. We carefully select our Service Providers and ensure they are committed to protecting your information. The categories of Service Providers we may share personal information with include:
  • Payment Processing Services: To securely process payments you make for our products or services.
  • Cloud Hosting and Infrastructure Providers: To host our website, application, and backend systems.
  • Data Analytics Providers: To analyze usage patterns, monitor performance, and help us improve our Services.
  • Email Delivery and Communication Services: To send transactional emails (like order confirmations or password resets) and, where you have consented, marketing communications.
  • Customer Support Platforms: To manage inquiries, provide assistance, and track support requests.
  • Security and Fraud Prevention Services: To help monitor and protect our Services from security threats and fraudulent activities.
  • Accounting and Legal Advisors: To comply with financial reporting obligations and obtain legal counsel when necessary. These Service Providers are contractually obligated to handle your data securely, only process it based on our specific instructions, use it solely for the purposes we have engaged them for, and retain it only for the duration necessary to perform their services or as required by law.
• Other Users and Public Areas. When you share personal information (for example, by posting comments, reviews, contributions, or other content to the Services) or otherwise interact with public areas of the Services, such personal information may be viewed by all users and may potentially be made publicly available outside the Services indefinitely. If you interact with other users of our Services and register through a social network (such as Google or Facebook), your contacts on that network might see your name, profile photo, and descriptions of your activity. Similarly, other users within our Services may be able to view your profile information and activity descriptions, and communicate with you. Please be mindful of the information you choose to share in these public or semi-public contexts.   
• Legal Obligations and Law Enforcement. We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or other legal process (such as in response to a subpoena or a request from public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements). We may also disclose information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.  
• International Data Transfers. Your information may be processed and stored in countries outside of your country of residence, including outside the European Union (EU) or Georgia, where data protection laws may differ. When we transfer your personal information internationally to jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are implemented in accordance with applicable laws (such as the GDPR). These safeguards may include using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by relevant authorities or transferring data to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection.

5 DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: Yes, we utilize cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and store information necessary for the operation of our Services, and, with your explicit consent where required by law, for analytics and personalized advertising purposes.

We employ cookies and analogous tracking technologies, such as web beacons and pixels, to gather information when you visit or interact with our Services. Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) by your web browser when you visit certain websites. Tracking technologies like web beacons (or 'pixels') are small graphic images that may be included on our Services or in emails to monitor user activity.

How and Why We Use These Technologies:

These technologies serve several purposes:

• Strictly Necessary: Some cookies and trackers are essential for the technical operation of our Services and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. They enable core functionality, security features, and ensure the stability of our Services. Processing for these purposes is based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure service.  
• Performance and Analytics: Subject to your consent where legally required, we use cookies and trackers to collect information about how visitors use our Services. This includes understanding which pages are most popular, how users navigate the site, and identifying potential errors. The data gathered helps us analyze performance and improve the user experience. This may involve third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics.
• Functionality: Subject to your consent where legally required, these technologies allow our Services to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.  
• Targeting and Advertising: Subject to your consent where legally required, we and our third-party advertising partners may use cookies and trackers to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on our Services and potentially other websites (retargeting). They help manage the display of advertisements, measure their effectiveness, and tailor content. This may also include functionalities like abandoned shopping cart reminders, depending on your communication preferences and consent.

Managing Your Preferences:

You have control over the use of non-essential cookies and tracking technologies. When you first visit our Services, and periodically thereafter, you may be presented with a mechanism (such as a cookie banner or management tool) to provide or withdraw your consent for different categories of cookies.

Comprehensive details about the specific cookies and tracking technologies we use (including their purpose, the data they collect, their duration, and whether they are first-party or third-party) and clear instructions on how you can manage your preferences and consent at any time are available in our dedicated Cookie Policy. Please review it carefully here: https://codehunger.net/cookie-policy

Google Analytics:

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc., to help us analyze how users interact with the Services. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect usage data. To provide website visitors more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google has developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms page.  

6 HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?
In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or Google logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this Privacy Policy or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend that you review their Privacy Policy to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

7 IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?

In Short: Yes, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own, including France where our primary servers are located. We implement legally required safeguards to protect your information during such transfers in accordance with applicable laws, including those of the EU and Georgia.

Our primary servers are located in France.

If you are accessing our Services from outside France, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities  in France. Furthermore, your information may be shared with third-party service providers (as described in Section 4, 'WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?') who might be located in, or process data in, various countries worldwide, potentially including countries outside the European Union (EU) / European Economic Area (EEA) or Georgia.

Information for Residents of the EU/EEA or Georgia:

France is located within the EEA. Consequently, transfers of personal data from the EU/EEA to our servers in France fall under the high data protection standards set by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Data processing concerning residents of Georgia is governed by Georgian data protection laws.

However, some third-party service providers we collaborate with may be based in countries outside the EU/EEA or Georgia. These countries may not offer a level of data protection legally considered equivalent to that within the EU/EEA or Georgia. When we transfer your personal information internationally to such third parties in these locations, we take necessary steps to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection and that the transfer complies with applicable law (such as GDPR and relevant Georgian legislation). We primarily achieve this by implementing appropriate safeguards, including:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Relying on standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission, or using equivalent contractual safeguards recognized under Georgian law where applicable, for data transfers to service providers in countries lacking an adequate level of data protection recognized by the EU or Georgia. These clauses impose binding data protection obligations on the data recipient.
• Adequacy Decisions: Where possible, transferring data to countries officially recognized by relevant authorities (such as the European Commission) as providing an adequate level of data protection.

We ensure that any party processing your data outside the EU/EEA or Georgia is contractually committed to upholding robust data protection standards. By using our Services, you acknowledge that your information might be transferred internationally as outlined herein.

8 HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law, notably including legal requirements in Georgia where our company is based.

We will only keep your personal information for the minimum time necessary to achieve the purposes for which we collected it, as detailed in this Privacy Policy. The specific retention period depends on the type of information and the reason for its processing.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and, critically, the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.  

This means we are legally obliged to keep certain types of information for specific minimum periods. For instance:

• Financial, Invoicing, and Transaction Records: In compliance with applicable legal requirements, particularly Georgian tax and accounting laws, we are obligated to retain invoices, payment verification records (including bank transfer references), accounting entries, and related financial compliance documentation for a minimum period, which is typically five (5) years following the end of the relevant financial year or transaction date. Longer periods may apply if mandated by specific regulations or ongoing legal processes.

For personal information not subject to such mandatory retention periods by law, we will keep it only as long as needed to provide our Services, manage your account, resolve potential disputes, enforce our agreements, or for other legitimate business purposes outlined in this policy (e.g., maintaining records for service improvement analysis for a reasonable timeframe). Once your account is terminated or you cease using our services, we will generally retain associated personal data only for a period reasonably necessary to finalize our relationship, unless you request earlier deletion and no legal obligation or overriding legitimate interest prevents it.

When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need or a legal requirement to process your personal information, we will take steps to either securely delete or anonymise it. If immediate deletion is not feasible (for example, because your personal information is stored in backup archives with scheduled overwrites), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further active processing until deletion can be performed.

9 HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

10 DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age. Our Services are intended solely for individuals aged 18 and older.

Our Services are not directed to, and we do not knowingly solicit data from or market to, individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age.  

If we gain actual knowledge that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a user under the age of 18, we will take prompt and reasonable steps to deactivate that user's account and delete their personal information from our systems and records.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that we may have collected personal information from your child under the age of 18 in violation of this policy, please contact us immediately at support@codehunger.net so we can take appropriate action.

11 WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Depending on your location, particularly if you are in the European Union (EU) / European Economic Area (EEA) or Georgia, applicable data protection laws grant you specific rights regarding your personal information, allowing you greater access and control. You may also review, change, or request the termination of your account at any time.

In certain regions, notably the EU/EEA (under the General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR) and Georgia (under its data protection laws), you possess specific rights concerning your personal information. These rights may include:

• (i) Right of Access: To request access to and obtain a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• (ii) Right to Rectification: To request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• (iii) Right to Erasure ('Right to be Forgotten'): To request the deletion of your personal information under certain conditions (e.g., if the data is no longer necessary for the original purpose).
• (iv) Right to Restriction of Processing: To request that we limit the processing of your personal information under certain circumstances.
• (v) Right to Data Portability: Where applicable, to receive the personal information you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.  

• (vi) Right Not to Be Subject to Automated Decision-Making: To not be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produce legal or similarly significant effects on you, under certain conditions.  
• (vii) Right to Object: To object to the processing of your personal information in specific situations, such as processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided in the section 'HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?' below. We will review and act upon your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws (including GDPR and Georgian law).  

Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you are located in the EU/EEA and believe that our processing of your personal information violates data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your EU Member State. If you are located in Georgia, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Georgian State Inspector's Service (or its successor body responsible for personal data protection).

Withdrawing Your Consent: Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. You can withdraw consent by contacting us using the details below. Please note that withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. It also does not affect processing carried out on other lawful grounds where permitted by applicable law.  

Opting Out of Marketing and Promotional Communications: You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time by clicking the 'unsubscribe' link in the email or by contacting us using the details provided below. Once you unsubscribe, we will remove you from our marketing lists, although we may still send you essential service-related communications necessary for the administration of your account, responding to service requests, or other non-marketing purposes.  

Account Information: If you would like to review or change the information in your account or request its termination, you can usually:

• Log in to your account settings and update your user account information.
• Contact us using the contact information provided.
  
  

Cookies and Similar Technologies: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually modify your browser settings to remove or reject cookies. Please note that rejecting cookies might affect certain features or the functionality of our Services. For detailed information on managing your cookie preferences, please see our Cookie Policy: https://codehunger.net/cookie-policy.  

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at support@codehunger.net.

12 CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ('DNT') feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to respond to Do-Not-Track (DNT) signals, our Services currently do not respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. However, you can manage your cookie preferences through our Cookie Settings panel or browser controls. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

13 DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?
In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated 'Last Updated' date at the top of this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
