Categories of personal data: During your use of our website, we collect usage-based activity data to create an aggregated analysis of our visitors’ usage pattern.

When we request and receive your feedback, we process your name, contact details, and the feedback you provided.

When your personal data has been anonymized, it will no longer be considered personal data under applicable data protection laws.
To fulfill the purposes described above, the Pocket Project may need to share personal data with our suppliers or collaborating partners when they perform services on our behalf. Such suppliers or partners mainly provide us with IT systems and communication, support, maintenance, and/or storage services. At times our partners may also provide us with their expertise on a specific topic or project. These suppliers or partners act as our data processors when they get access to your personal data and we have entered into data processing agreements with each supplier with the purpose of ensuring that your data is well protected.
We also share your personal data with certain trusted third-party companies which will act as controllers of your personal data. Such controllers mainly provide us with payment and/or billing services. When your personal data is shared with other controllers, they will be responsible for your personal data and we refer to them for more information on how they process your personal data. We may need to disclose personal data based on requirements in applicable laws or by government authorities or law enforcement.
Personal data may be disclosed and otherwise transferred to an (whether actual or prospective) acquirer, successor or assignee as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets and only if the recipient commits to a privacy policy that has terms substantially consistent with this privacy policy. Although we would make any reasonable effort to limit the disclosure, such disclosure could potentially include all of the above mentioned categories of personal data, and would be based on the legitimate interest of the buyer and seller to conduct business. We will make sure to inform you if any such asset transfer entails that the Pocket Project is replaced as controller of your personal data.
The data processors and/or the third parties that we share the data with may process your data in countries outside of the EU/EEA (more specifically in the USA). Any transfer of personal data outside the EU/EEA is made in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Our international transfers of personal data are based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses and, if necessary, any supplementary measures to ensure the protection of your data. You may find the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses here.
You are entitled to the following rights under applicable data protections laws:
Please be aware that you may review, update, correct or delete the personal data provided in your registration or account profile. You can do so either by contacting us, or, if you have an account with us, directly in your account.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here.
If we change how we handle your personal data, we will update this privacy policy and publish it on this website.
If you have questions concerning our processing of your personal data, or want to invoke your rights, you may contact us at:
