4. Does Fast Shift share my personal information?
Information about our users is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling our users' personal information to others. Fast Shift shares users' personal information with third parties (including other Fast Shift group entities) if we believe that sharing your personal information is in accordance with, or required by, any contractual relationship with you, or us, applicable law, regulation or legal process. When sharing your personal information with other Fast Shift group entities, we will use our best efforts to ensure that such entities are either subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy.
We may also share personal information with the following persons:
- Third party service providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. These third-party service providers only have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with our contractual agreements and as only permitted by applicable data protection laws.
- Legal authorities: We may be required by law or by court or other legal mandate to disclose certain information about you or any engagement we may have with you to relevant regulatory, law enforcement and/or other competent authorities. We will disclose information about you to the authorities to the extent we are obliged to do so according to applicable laws. We may also need to share your information in order to enforce or apply our legal rights or to prevent fraud.
- Business transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, user information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless, of course, the user consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Fast Shift or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, user information will be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of Fast Shift and others: We release accounts and other personal information when we believe such release is appropriate to: (i) comply with the law, law enforcement requests, or with our regulatory obligations; (ii) enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or (iii) protect the rights, property or safety of Fast Shift's users or others. This includes exchanging information with other entities and organisations for fraud protection.
5. International transfers of personal information
To facilitate our global operations, Fast Shift may transfer your personal data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). Fast Shift implements appropriate safeguards to ensure that such transfers are carried out in compliance with applicable data protection laws. Where Fast Shift transfers personal data to affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers located outside the EEA, such transfers are made based on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms under the GDPR.
6. How secure is my information?
We design our systems with paramount importance placed on the security and privacy of your data. We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent your information being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We work to protect the security of your personal information during transmission and while stored by using encryption protocols and software.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of your personal information. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.
Our security procedures mean that we may ask you to verify your identity to protect you against unauthorised access to your account password. We recommend using a unique password for your Fast Shift account that is not utilized for other online accounts and to sign off when you finish using your shared computer.
7. What about advertising?
In order for us to provide you with the best user experience, we may share your personal information with our marketing partners for the purposes of targeting, modeling, and/or analytics as well as marketing and advertising, in compliance with Applicable Laws.
You have a right to object at any time to processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

When you consent to our processing your personal information for a specified purpose, you may withdraw your consent at any time and we will stop any further processing of your data for that purpose.

We may continue to process your personal information if it is necessary for the defense of legal claims, or for any other exceptions permitted by applicable laws;
- Right to portability: in some cases, you can ask to receive your personal information which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or, when this is possible, that we communicate your personal information on your behalf directly to another data controller;
