You are not legally required to provide Alludo with the Personal Data described in this Privacy Statement.
When processing your Personal Data, we rely on the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), an EU-wide legal framework for the standardization of data protection, if you are an EU resident, and UK-GDPR if you are a UK resident. Alludo primarily processes data as a controller, for the purposes explained above under Sections 1 and 2 of this Privacy Statement. These purposes represent our legitimate interests for the purposes of Article 6 (1) f) GDPR/UK-GDPR. At the same time, some of the Personal Data we process is necessary for us to perform a contract with you or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you. In addition, we are legally obliged to provide certain information to criminal prosecution or tax authorities in individual cases upon request. In these cases, the legal basis for the processing is either legal requirements (Article 6 (1) c) GDPR/UK-GDPR) or reasons of public interest (Article 6 (1) e) GDPR/UK GDPR). Where we process your Personal Data with your explicit consent, pursuant to Article 6 (1) a) GDPR/UK-GDPR, this declaration of consent will be the legal basis for processing your Personal Data.
Alludo’s principal place of business is in the UK, which is a "Third Country" under the GDPR. Third Countries are generally not considered to afford the same level of protection that you enjoy in the EU, but Alludo still provides an adequate level of protection for your Personal Data. Additionally, the EU Commission states that the UK is deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection regarding commercial organizations such as Alludo.
We have ensured that our service providers and subsidiaries have been subjected to strict contractual provisions in their contract with us to guarantee that an adequate level of data protection for your data is guaranteed.
We use your data for "Profiling". This means that we use your data to make tailored offers based on your previous behavior as well as to serve you personalized ads. However, we will never process and analyze your Personal Data in the context of Profiling in a way that would lead to an automated decision that has a legal effect on you or significantly impairs you in a similar way.
As a natural person, you have certain rights as "Data Subject". You can assert the following rights against us under the GDPR/UK-GDPR:
Your right to information and access under Article 15 GDPR/UK-GDPR,
Your right to rectification under Article 16 GDPR/UK-GDPR,
Your right to erasure under Article 17 GDPR/UK-GDPR,
Your right to restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR/UK-GDPR, and
Your right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR/UK-GDPR.
In addition, you have a right of objection to the competent data protection supervisory authority/the Commissioner under Article 77 GDPR/UK-GDPR, but only with respect to the data processing we conduct on our own behalf, as a controller. In the event Alludo acts as a processor of your data for a third party, you must refer to the entity acting as controller to assert this right.
Please note that, where you have granted us your consent to process certain Personal Data, you are free to withdraw this declaration of consent with future effect at any point in time. This also applies to the withdrawal of declarations of consent issued to us prior to the validity of the GDPR/UK-GDPR.
In addition to the rights already mentioned, you have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of Personal Data relating to you, which is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) e) GDPR/UK-GDPR (data processing in the public interest) and Article 6 (1) f) GDPR /UK-GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4 (4) GDPR /UK-GDPR. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your Personal Data unless we can prove compelling grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. Please also note that, if we terminate the processing due to your objection, the Sites or Products may no longer be available to you or only to a limited extent.
You also have the right to object at any time to the processing of your Personal Data for the purpose of direct marketing, including any subscription to our newsletters or personalized ads; this also applies to Profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, we will no longer process your Personal Data in the future.
Under the California Consumer Protection Act (“CCPA”), California residents are granted five consumer rights that Alludo will uphold:
Any Site visitor wishing to exercise a right to access personal information held by Alludo must submit a verifiable consumer request to Alludo by either:
Please note that only an individual who is a resident of California (or the legal guardian of such individual in the case of a minor child) may make a request under the CCPA.

Alludo reserves the right to change this Privacy Statement. We will provide notification of the material changes to this Privacy Statement via email and/or a prominent notice on our our Sites at least 30 days prior to the change taking effect.
