HOW WE PROTECT CHILDREN

By registering for an account or submitting any Personally Identifiable Information to us, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older.

HOW WE MANAGE LINKS TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

Our App may contain links to third party websites and services, including those of our partner networks. Please note that these links are provided for your convenience and information, and the websites and services may operate independently from us and have their own privacy policies or notices, which we strongly suggest you review. This Privacy Policy applies to FOURSEAGO and our App only. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the policies or practices of any third parties. If you choose to access any websites or services linked from our App, please check the applicable policies before you use or submit any personal data to such website or service.

INTERNATIONAL DATA PROCESSING

FOURSEAGO is established in Beijing, China. Consistent with the Service's existing infrastructure and vendors, primary application systems may be hosted in Hong Kong, and vendors may process Personal Data in the United States and other countries. These locations may have data-protection laws different from those where you live.

Where required, we use contractual, organizational, and technical safeguards for cross-border processing and provide notices or obtain consent required by applicable law. For transfers from mainland China, we comply with applicable requirements under the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, including requirements relating to overseas recipients and separate consent where required. Contact us if you want available information about the principal overseas-recipient categories or safeguards relevant to your data.

Users remain responsible for using the Service only where lawful in their jurisdiction.

EEA and UK Privacy Notice

This notice provides additional information for users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK). Users in the EEA and UK have certain privacy rights as specified under EU and UK law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK Data Protection Act 2018. Our privacy controls we offer to all users are in line with these laws—this notice makes sure we cover the EEA and UK-specific requirements. For example, all users can request a copy of their data, request deletion, and control their privacy settings in the app. For the full picture, check out our Privacy Policy.

• Data Controller: If you’re a user in the EEA or UK, you should know that FOURSEAGO is the controller of your personal information.

• Rights of Access, Deletion, Correction, and Portability: You can exercise your rights of access, deletion, correction, and portability as described in the WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT and HOW DO WE USE THE DATA WE COLLECT section of the Privacy Policy.

• Bases for Using Your Information: Your country only allows us to use your personal information when certain conditions apply. These conditions are called “legal bases” and we typically rely on one of four:

  1. Contract. One reason we might use your information is because you’ve entered into an agreement with us.
  2. Legitimate interest. Another reason we might use your information is because we have—or a third party has—a legitimate interest in doing so. For example, we need to use your information to provide and improve our services, including protecting your account, delivering your messages, providing customer support, and helping you find friends and content we think you’ll like. Because most of our services are free, we also use some information about you to try and show you ads you’ll find interesting. An important point to understand about legitimate interest is that our interests don’t outweigh your right to privacy, so we only rely on legitimate interest when we think the way we are using your data doesn’t significantly impact your privacy or would be expected by you, or there is a compelling reason to do so. We explain our legitimate business reasons for using your information in more detail in HOW DO WE USE THE DATA WE COLLECT
  3. Consent. In some cases we’ll ask for consent to use your information for specific purposes. If we do, we’ll make sure you can revoke your consent in our services or through your device permissions. Even if we’re not relying on consent to use your information, we may ask you for permission to access data like contacts and location.
  4. Legal obligation. We may be required to use your personal information to comply with the law, like when we respond to valid legal process or need to take action to protect our users. Our policy is to notify users when we receive legal process seeking their account information, with some exceptions.

• Your Right to Object: You have the right to object to our use of your information. With many types of data, we’ve provided you with the ability to simply delete it if you don’t want us processing it anymore. For other types of data, we’ve given you the ability to stop the use of your data by disabling the feature altogether. You can do these things in the app. If there are other types of information you don’t agree with us processing, you can contact us.

• International Data Transfers: We may transfer, store, and process personal information in Hong Kong, the United States, and other countries outside where you live. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, which may include the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, UK transfer safeguards, adequacy decisions, or a recipient's valid participation in an applicable Data Privacy Framework. FOURSEAGO does not claim company-level certification under the EU-U.S., UK Extension, or Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

• Contact for GDPR-Related Inquiries: If you have any questions or requests related to your data rights under GDPR, please contact us at: Email: contact@4seago.com
