Non-Personal Information
In general, we use Non-Personal Information to help us improve the Service and customize the user experience. We also aggregate Non-Personal Information to track trends and analyse use patterns on the Site. This Privacy Policy does not limit in any way our use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information and we reserve the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information to our partners, advertisers and other third parties at our discretion.
In the event we undergo a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information may be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge and consent that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of our assets may continue to process your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

By using our Service, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
IV. YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her data:
As far as we have received your explicit consent to use your data for a specified purpose (e.g. signing up for newsletter and information on our activities) during the consent process, the respective processing of the data is legally permitted through the consent given.
Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract:
If we have closed a contract with another party (e.g. software service provider) we will need to process personal data to fulfil all our contractual obligations resulting out of this contract. The respective data processing is permitted by the EU data regulation. The data processing is limited by the purpose of the contractual obligation. If you do not provide the required data for the contractual purpose, we may not be able to fulfil our contractual obligations. As you do not comply with your contractual obligations to deliver the required data, you are responsible for our malperformance. You may not be indemnified for that malperformance. You will be fully responsible, if we cannot fulfil our contractual duties out of the contract and may have to terminate the contractual relationship.
Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation:
We might be obliged to forward certain data to a third party to fulfil all our legal obligations. This case applies e.g. for financial and tax issues where we are legally bound to render a certified financial audit.
Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller:
We may be processing because of a legitimate interest by us or a third party. In this case the data may only be processed if this interest is not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, where the data subject is a child.
In these cases, an assessment of potentially contradicting interest is required to ensure the legitimacy and compliance of data processing with existing regulations.
This case applies e.g. for companies that have a long-term business relationship.
You have the right at any time to prevent us from contacting you for marketing purposes. When we send a promotional communication to a user, the user can opt out of further promotional communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each promotional e-mail. Please note that notwithstanding the promotional preferences you indicate by either unsubscribing or opting out, we may continue to send you administrative emails including, for example, periodic updates to our Privacy Policy.
You can choose whether to receive information from TecSurge. To edit or remove your personal details please let us know by contacting us by email on dpo(at)tecsurge.com.
This option does not apply, if we are bound by law or contract to process your data.
We will not contact you, also for marketing purposes by email, phone or post unless we are permitted to do so by data protection laws.
You have the right to ask for a copy of the information held by TecSurge about you and request for it to be transferred. Please contact us on dpo(at)tecsurge.com, if you’d like to discuss this.

However, we are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those websites or the information or content they contain.
