Liquidly, Inc. Privacy Policy (GDPR)
Introduction
Liquidly respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your Personal Data. This Privacy Policy pertains to visitors, users and others who reside in the European Union and the UK and will inform you as to how we collect, process and look after your Personal Data when you use our Service and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you. For UK residents, any and all references to “GDPR” may be understood to be references to UK GDPR.
“Personal Data” is any data that can be used to identify you directly or indirectly (e.g., your identity data, bank statements, device identifier, location, browsing activity or IP address). Other defined terms in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings given to them in our standard privacy policy that can be accessed here.
While you use our Service, we are processing your Personal Data. You therefore have the right to know what we do with it, how long we retain it, and with whom we share it. It is important that you read this Privacy Policy together with any other privacy policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing Personal Data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This Privacy Policy supplements other notices and privacy policies and is not intended to override them.
Guiding Principles:- We only process Personal Data that is strictly necessary with regard to its purpose;
- You remain in control of your Personal Data; and
- Your Personal Data is processed in a transparent, confidential and secure manner.
Who Are We And How Can You Contact Us?
As further detailed in this Privacy Policy, we sometimes process your Personal Data on behalf of, and under the instructions of, our clients who have introduced our Service to you (“our Clients”). For example, you may be an existing client of our Client or an employee of our Client. In these cases, we are a “Processor” of Personal Data and they are a “Controller” (i.e., the main organization that is responsible for ensuring that your Personal Data is processed in compliance with applicable regulations).
For other processing activities, we are processing your Personal Data for our own benefits and purposes, without any instructions given by our Clients. In such cases, we are the Controller and responsible for your Personal Data.
If you have any concerns, questions or if you would like to exercise any of your rights with respect to your Personal Data, you may contact us, our EU representative or UK representative at the following addresses:

How Is Your Personal Data Collected?
We collect your Personal Data in one of two ways: either you provide it to us directly or it is provided to us from our Clients so that we may provide our Service for your benefit.
The Data You Provide to Us Directly.
During our interactions with you, you may be asked to provide us with Identity Data and Contact Data. For example, we collect this Personal Data when you fill out a “Contact Us” form on our website or when you subscribe to our Service.

When we provide services to our Clients, they may transfer to us the following Personal Data relating to their employees and/or their clients: with respect to their employees, Identity and Contact data; with respect to their clients, Identity, Transaction and Financial Data.
Automated Technologies.
Each time you use our Service, we automatically collect Technical Data. We collect this personal data by using cookies which are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile application when you use our Service. However, we do NOT collect any Personal Data via automated means when you make a visit to our website.
We may use cookies for the following purposes:
- Authentication purposes, allowing you to automatically login into your account, using identifiers or data that you have previously entrusted to us;
- Personalization of our user interface, allowing us to ensure that the display of our content is suitable for your device;
- Building traffic statistics and tests aimed at measuring the relative performance of different versions of our website and platform, as part of problem solving, data analysis, tests, research, analysis, studies and surveys; or
- Establishing statistics and volumes of visits and use of the various elements making up our site (sections and contents visited, routes) in order to improve the interest and ergonomics of our website and our platform.
Cookies may give us access to the following personal information: (i) Identifiers of the equipment you use (IP address of your computer), (ii) type of operating system, (iii) type and version of the browser software, (iv) dates and times of connection to our services, (v) address of the originating Internet page ("referrer"), (vi) activity data on our services, (vii) information relating to your use of our sites and applications and (viii) information relating to the presence of cookies on your terminal.
On your first visit on our platform, you will be prompted to take a clear, affirmative action so that we can ensure that you agree with the processing of your personal information. Before obtaining your consent, we will systematically inform you of the names of the organizations implementing the cookies, the consequences of your consent or refusal to consent, the purposes of the processing, and your right to withdraw your consent.
You can choose to consent to certain uses of your data and refuse others. If you decide to withdraw you consent, you can do so easily by contacting us via e-mail at legal@liquidlypro.com.
On What Basis do We Collect Your Data?
We will only use your Personal Data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your Personal Data in the following circumstances:
- Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you or our Clients with respect to our Service; and
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Legitimate interest is a set of commercial or business reasons that justify that we process Personal Data about you. We will use legitimate interest only when we have carried out an assessment on the impact that this processing may have on you and concluded that the processing does not unduly infringe your rights and freedoms.
