Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
California residents have the right to direct us to not sell or share their personal information, including for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We will not discriminate against California residents for exercising their rights under the CCPA or CPRA. Specifically, we will not:

GDPR and UK Privacy Rights
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), you have specific rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act. This section outlines your rights, our responsibilities as a data controller, and how you can exercise these rights.
Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data
Under the GDPR, we process personal data based on the following lawful bases:
- Contractual Necessity: To fulfill our contractual obligations to you, such as providing our services or responding to inquiries.
- Consent: Where required, we rely on your explicit consent to process certain types of personal data (e.g., marketing communications).
- Legitimate Interests: For purposes of improving our services, ensuring security, fraud prevention, and fulfilling business functions. We balance our legitimate interests against your rights and freedoms.
- Legal Obligation: To comply with legal and regulatory obligations under EU and UK law.
Your Data Protection Rights
As an EU or UK resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, as well as information on how we process it, the purposes of processing, and the third parties with whom we share your data.
- Right to Rectification: You may request that we correct or complete inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to Erasure: Under certain conditions, you have the right to request that we delete your personal data. This is also known as the "right to be forgotten."

- Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller where feasible.
- Right to Object to Processing: You can object to processing of your personal data where it is based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: If we process your data based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
- Right Related to Automated Decision-Making: You have the right to not be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which significantly affect you, unless certain conditions apply, such as with your explicit consent.
Data Transfers and International Processing
DrBalcony is based in the United States and uses service providers located in the United States to operate our business and maintain our relationship with you. When you use our Services, your Personal Data may be transmitted, stored, and processed by us and our service providers' servers in the United States to deliver the services you requested, manage our contract with you, or respond to your inquiries as outlined in this Privacy Policy. While the United States may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country of residence, we take steps to ensure your rights remain protected when transferring your Personal Data outside the United States. We implement suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your Personal Data and use it only in accordance with our relationship with you and the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We also enter into data processing agreements and model clauses with vendors as necessary.
We may transfer your personal data to our servers or service providers located outside the EEA and the UK, including the United States. In cases where data transfers occur outside these jurisdictions, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, in accordance with GDPR and UK data protection laws. This includes using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for transfers to the US and other countries lacking an adequacy decision, as well as implementing additional safeguards as needed to further protect data transferred internationally.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. Specific retention periods vary depending on the purpose, nature of data, and regulatory requirements. You may contact us to request specific retention details regarding your personal data.

Controller
DrBalcony is the controller (as defined under the GDPR) for processing and using the Personal Data of individuals that is collected through our Services. Please see the “Contact Us” section below to find out how to contact us.
Legitimate Interests
“Legitimate interests” means the interests of our company in conducting and managing our organization. For example, and without limitation, we have a legitimate interest in processing your Personal Data to analyze how the Services are being used, to administer our contractual relationships, fulfill legal obligations, process employee data, prevent fraud or criminal activity or misuse of our products or services, ensure the security of our IT systems, architecture and networks, and meet our corporate and social responsibility objectives, and/or effectively and efficiently operate our business and provide you with the services offered through our Services, as described in this Privacy Policy. When we process your Personal Data for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you, and your rights under data protection laws. Our legitimate interests do not automatically override your interests. We will not use your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, unless we have your consent or those activities are otherwise required or permitted by law. You have the right to object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests.
CHILDREN’S ON-LINE PRIVACY INFORMATION
In general, the Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 13, or 16 where applicable, and the terms for certain Services may specify further age-related restrictions. In cases where certain Services are intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or 16 where applicable), we will post appropriate notices and take steps as required by applicable law to safeguard children’s data. In addition, we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 where applicable) through form submissions on our Services, although certain third party sites that we link to may do so. These third-party sites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide information on our Services without their permission.
Involvement of parents
In accordance with the provisions of the Children’s Online Privacy Act, in the event that we do begin collecting any Personal Information or data from children under the age of 13 (or 16 where applicable), we will notify parents first, and will seek parental or guardian consent to collect, use and/or disclose certain Personal Information from children under the age of 13, or 16 where applicable. A parent may review and have deleted their child’s Personal Information, and may refuse to permit further collection or use of their child’s information by contacting us as noted at the end of this Privacy Policy. Parents may consent to our collection and use of their child’s Personal Information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to others.
If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 (or 16) has provided Personal Information "Contact Us" below with sufficient detail to enable us to delete that information from our databases.

We may amend this Privacy Policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post the updated notice on our Services and update the notice’s “Last updated” date. Where permitted by applicable law, your continued use of our Website and/or Services following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
