We take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure these vendors process your data in accordance with our obligations under applicable data protection laws.

Aggregated Data

Widget Ease may combine your personal information and other information collected about your use of the Site and Services, and also supplement with information from external sources for research and measurement purposes, including measuring the effectiveness of content, advertising, or programs. We may share with third parties such aggregated, non-personally identifiable information.

Widget Ease may use personal information about you for other purposes that are disclosed to you at the time we collect the information and/or with your consent.

Merger or Acquisition

In the event that Widget Ease is acquired by or merged with a third-party, we reserve the right to sell or otherwise transfer any and all information we have collected from you as part of that transaction and such third-party will assume the rights and obligations with respect to that information as described in this Policy.

As Permitted by Law

Widget Ease may be required to disclose personal information by law or legal process, to protect the security or integrity of our databases or this Site, to protect and defend the rights or property of Widget Ease, or to take precautions against legal liability. We reserve the right to contact appropriate authorities when activities occur on our Site that are illegal or violate our policies.

International Visitors & Transfer of Data

We are located in Egypt and we process your data in Egypt. Therefore, we may transfer your personal information outside of the country in which it was collected, including to Egypt, where the level of protection of personal information may be different than in your country. If we transfer personal data from the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to Egypt, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, to protect your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Data Retention Period

We will retain your personal information for as long as is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Security

We maintain reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Access Rights

In general, when processing personal data to provide our services, we do so only on behalf of our customers and in accordance with their instructions. This means that if you wish to access any personal data we process on behalf of a Widget Ease customer and request that we correct, amend, or delete it if it is inaccurate or processed in violation of applicable laws, you should contact that customer with your request. We will then assist them in fulfilling that request in accordance with their instructions.

Where we process personal data collected via our website or via our services for our own account management, billing, or marketing purposes, you may have the right to access personal data that we hold about you and request that we correct, amend, or delete it if it is inaccurate or processed in violation of applicable laws. These access rights may not apply in some cases, including where providing access is unreasonably burdensome or expensive under the circumstances or where it would violate the rights of someone other than the individual requesting access. If you would like to request access to, correction, amendment, or deletion of your personal data, you can submit a written request to privacy@widgetease.com. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity. In some circumstances, we may charge a reasonable fee for access to your information.

Your Choices

Widget Ease respects the privacy rights of all individuals and provides data subjects with meaningful choices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information.

Opt-Out Rights for Non-Sensitive Information

We offer you the opportunity to opt out of:

• The disclosure of your non-sensitive personal information to any third party not acting as our agent or service provider; and
• The use of your personal information for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you.

You may exercise this right at any time by contacting us at: privacy@widgetease.com.

Exception for Third-Party Agents

Please note that we are not required to offer an opt-out when personal information is disclosed to a third party acting as our agent to perform tasks on our behalf and under our instructions. Such agents are contractually bound to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as required by applicable law.

Opt-In for Sensitive Information

With respect to sensitive personal information (such as data revealing medical or health conditions, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, or the sex life of the individual), we will obtain your affirmative express consent (opt-in) before:

• Disclosing such information to a third party (unless the third party is acting as our agent and subject to contractual safeguards); or
• Using it for a purpose other than the one for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you.

Marketing Communications

If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link provided in our emails or by contacting us at privacy@widgetease.com. Please note that we may still send you transactional or service-related communications necessary for your use of our services.

Children’s Personal Information

We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 16, please do not submit any personal information through the Widget Ease Service. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information through the Widget Ease Service without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided personal information to us through the Site or Services, please contact us at privacy@widgetease.com, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete that information.

Business Transfers

If Widget Ease, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Widget Ease goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of Widget Ease may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Widget Ease’s Role as a Data Processor and Client Responsibilities

Data Processor Role of Widget Ease: In the provision of our services, Widget Ease often operates as a data processor on behalf of our clients. This means that we process personal data based on the instructions of our clients, and we do not have control over or determine the purposes and means of the processing of that data. Our primary role is to ensure the secure and efficient management of the data as instructed by our clients.

Client’s Role as Data Controllers: Our clients act as data controllers when using our platform. As data controllers, clients have the responsibility to determine the purposes and means of processing personal data. Consequently, it’s essential for clients to understand their obligations and ensure that they are in full compliance with the data protection laws and regulations specific to the jurisdictions in which they operate.

Client’s Compliance Responsibility: While Widget Ease is committed to providing tools and solutions that aid our clients in their data protection efforts, the onus of ensuring legal compliance remains with our clients. We encourage all clients to seek legal counsel and ensure that their use of our services aligns with all relevant data protection regulations.

Limitation of Liability: It’s imperative to note that Widget Ease cannot be held liable for any non-compliance or violations related to data protection by our clients. As data controllers, clients must take the necessary steps to ensure adherence to applicable laws and regulations in their respective jurisdictions.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Widget Ease may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and at Widget Ease’s sole discretion. Widget Ease encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of these services after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
