6. Special Information For EU Users.

Beginning May 25, 2018, the processing of personal data of users in the European Union is subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’). This section provides information as relates to EU users’ rights, and Tabiko responsibilities, under this regulation.

EU User Rights.
If you are an Tabiko user in the EU, you have the following rights with respect to Tabiko’s handling of your personal information. Users outside the EU may also request explanation, correction, deletion or copies of their personal data.

• a. Explanation and copies of your data
  • You have the right to request an explanation of the information that Tabiko has about you and how Tabiko uses that information.
  • You also have the right to receive a copy of the information that Tabiko collects about you if collected on the basis of consent or because Tabiko requires the information to provide the services that you request.
• b. Correction
  • If Tabiko has information about you that you believe is inaccurate, you have the right to request correction of your information. Please see the section titled ‘Explanation, Copies and Correction’ below for more information on correcting, or requesting correction of, your information.
• c. Deletion
  • Users may request deletion of their accounts at any time. Users may request deletion through contacting us at support@tabiko.com. We may retain certain information about you as required by law and for legitimate business purposes permitted by law.
• d. Objections and complaints
  • Users in the EU have the right to object to Tabiko’s processing of personal data, including for marketing purposes based on profiling. Tabiko may continue to process your information notwithstanding the objection to the extent permitted under GDPR.
  • You may also submit questions, comments or complaints to support@tabiko.com.

 Grounds for Processing
The GDPR requires that companies processing the personal data of EU users do so on the basis of specific legal grounds. As described below, Tabiko processes the information of EU users based on one or more of the grounds specified under the GDPR:

• a. The processing is necessary to provide the services and features you request
  • Tabiko must collect and use certain information in order to provide its services. This includes:
    • User profile information that is necessary to establish and maintain your account, including to verify your identity; enable communications with you; and to enable you to make payments or receive earnings.
    • Transaction information, which is necessary to generate and maintain in connection with your use of Tabiko’s services.
    • Usage information, which is necessary to maintain, optimize and enhance Tabiko’s services, including to determine, sometimes in combination with other information, incentives, calculate your earnings.
  • Collection and use of this information is a requirement for using Tabiko’s apps.
• b. The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of our users or of others
  • Tabiko may process personal information, including disclosing data with law enforcement authorities in case of threats to the safety of users or of others.
• c. The processing is necessary for Tabiko’s legitimate interests
  • Tabiko collects and uses personal information to the extent necessary for its legitimate interests. This includes collecting and using information:
    • To maintain and enhance our users’ safety and security. For example, we collect background check information (where permitted by law) to prevent unsafe users from providing services through our apps. We also use personal information to prevent use of our services by users who have engaged in inappropriate or dangerous behavior, such as by retaining information of banned users to prevent their use of Tabiko’s apps. We also use usage information to prevent matching of users and concierges for whom there is higher risk of conflict (e.g., because they have been the subject of prior complaints from other users).
    • To prevent, detect and combat fraud in connection with the use of our services. For example, Tabiko uses user profile, location, device and usage information, to identify and prevent circumstances when users attempt to defraud Tabiko or other users.
    • To inform law enforcement officials regarding criminal acts or threats to public safety.
    • To provide customer support.
    • To optimize our service and develop new services.
    • For research and analytical purposes. This includes, for example, analyzing usage trends to improve the user experience and enhance the safety and security of our services.
    • For direct marketing purposes. This includes, for example, analysing data to identify trends and tailor marketing messages to user needs.
    • To enforce Tabiko’s Terms of Service.
• d. The processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of other persons or parties
  • Tabiko collects and uses personal information to the extent necessary for the interests of other persons or the general public. This includes sharing information in connection with legal or insurance claims, to protect the rights and safety of others.
  • Tabiko may also process personal information when necessary in regards to a substantial public interest, on the basis of applicable laws.
• e. The processing is necessary to fulfill Tabiko’s legal obligations
  • Tabiko is subject to legal requirements in the jurisdictions in which it operates that require us to collect, process, disclose and retain your personal data.
  • Tabiko may also share information with law enforcement, or requests by third parties pursuant to legal processes.
• f. Consent
  • Tabiko may collect and use your information on the basis of your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. If you revoke your consent, you will not be able to use any service or feature that requires collection or use of the information we collected or used on the basis of consent.
  • Tabiko relies on consent in connection with data collections or uses that are necessary to enhance the user experience, to enable optional services or features, or to communicate with you. If you are an EU user, the following types of data collections or uses are done on the basis of your consent.
    • Location Information
    • Notifications: Message, Discounts, and News
    • Accessibility features
  • Tabiko may also collect personal information about you through voluntary surveys. Your responses to such surveys are collected on the basis of consent, and will be deleted once no longer necessary for the purposes collected.
