Introduction
Your privacy
and the safety of your personal data is important to us. Therefore, we created
this privacy policy to let you know how we handle your data and what our legal
obligations are regarding the safety of your personal information.
Product Proof
of Concept, better known as PPOC.club ("us",
"we", or "our") operates the beta.ppoc.club website
(the "Service").
The reason why
we use your data is to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service,
you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this
policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this
Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Use, accessible via

Privacy Policy you can contact us by sending
an email to: support@ppoc.club.

As we are a company based in the European Union, we
need to comply to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal
grounds for processing Personal Data under the GDPR described in this Privacy
Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in
which we collect it.
We may process your Personal Data based on several
legal grounds. One of the grounds is because we need to perform a contract with
you. This is for example the case when we need to comply with the agreements we made together according to the Terms of
Use agreement.
Another legal basis is your given permission. When we
ask you for example if we may send you a newsletter, you are asked for your
permission to do so. We also may process your personal information because
of a legitimate interest.
In some cases, however, we need to collect and save
your personal data because this is required by law. For instance, when it is
needed to process and store your data for tax liabilities.

certain information.

files with small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique
identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your

Examples of
Cookies we use:

interactive features of our Service when you choose to do so

support

information so that we can improve the Service

● To detect, prevent and address
technical issues
● Profiling: PPOC.club uses
profiling when offering our Services. Profiling is automated processing of data

is for instance to provide you the Service that suits you the best based on
your activities on the PPOC platform.
Your
information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on
— computers located outside of your state, province, country or
other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than
those from your jurisdiction.
If you are
located outside the Netherlands and choose to provide information to us, please
note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the Netherlands and
process it there.
Your consent
to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information
represents your agreement to that transfer.
Product Proof of Concept will
take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated
securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your
Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are
adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other
personal information.
One of the ways we can realize this is to close ‘processor agreements’ with the
relevant parties, so we are sure they handle your data with the same care as we
do.
The security
of your data is important to us. Therefore, we took the necessary steps to make
sure your Personal Data is safe and will be protected against losses and/or
leaks of this information. Nevertheless, we have to inform
you that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic
storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to
protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

does PPOC.club keep your information?

your personal data as long as is necessary
for the purposes named in this Privacy Policy. This is for example the case to
provide and maintain our Services. Obviously, we need your account information
otherwise we simply don’t know who you are. We also need to keep this data to
make sure you can log in every time you want.
