Our service, DaWork, and others that link to this Privacy Policy—provide an
easy way to know how others see and think about you.
When you use these services, you’ll share some information with us. So we
want to be upfront about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we
share it with, and the controls we give you to access, update, and delete
your data.
That’s why we’ve written this Privacy Policy. Moreover, it’s why we’ve
tried to write it in a way that’s blissfully free of the legalese that
often clouds these documents. Of course, if you still have questions about
anything in our Privacy Policy, contact us.
Information We Collect
There are three basic categories of information we collect:
-
Information you choose to give us.
-
Information we get when you use our services.
Here’s a little more detail on each of these categories.
Information You Choose to Give Us
When you interact with our services, we collect the information that you
choose to share with us. For example, most of our services require you to
set up a DaWork account, so we need to collect a few important details
about you, such as a username you’d like to go by, a password, an email
address, language, a phone number, and your date of birth. Other services,
such as commercial products, may also require you to provide us with a
debit or credit card number and its associated account information.

How We Use Information
What do we do with the information we collect? The short answer is: Provide you with a fantastic set of products and services that we relentlessly improve. Here are the ways we do that:
-
Develop, operate, improve, deliver, maintain, and protect our products and services.
-
Monitor and analyse trends and usage.
-
To enhance our services and your experience with them.
With our affiliates :
We may share information with entities within BDS / DaWork.
-
Comply with any valid legal process, governmental request, or applicable law, rule, or regulation.
-
Investigate, remedy, or enforce potential Terms of Service violations.
-
Protect the rights, property, and safety of us, our users, or others.
-

With third parties as part of a merger or acquisition :
If DaWork gets involved in a merger, asset sale, financing, liquidation or bankruptcy, or acquisition of all or some portion of our business to another company, we may share your information with that company before and after the transaction closes. We may also share with third parties—such as advertisers—aggregated, non-personally identifiable, or de-identified information.
Third-Party Content and Integrations
Our services may also contain third-party links and search results, include third-party integrations, or offer a co-branded or third-party-branded service. Through these links, third-party integrations, and co-branded or
third-party-branded services, you may be providing information (including personal information) directly to the third party, us, or both. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for how those third
parties collect or use your information. As always, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of every third-party service that you visit or use, including those third parties you interact with through our services.
How Long We Keep Your Information
Your company's account manager manages your information in our system. The manager decides if your info should be kept in our system. The moment your manager deletes your info, it is erased from our sytem.
Keep in mind that, while our systems are designed to carry out our deletion practices automatically, we cannot promise that deletion will occur within a specific timeframe. There may be legal requirements to store your data, and we may need to suspend those deletion practices if we receive valid legal process asking us to preserve content or if we receive reports of abuse or other Terms of Service violations. Finally, we may also retain specific information in backup for a limited period or as required by law.
Users in the European Union
If you’re a user in the European Union, you should know that your comapy is the controller of your personal information. Here is some additional information we would like to bring to your attention:
Bases for using your information
Your country only allows us to use your personal information when certain conditions apply. These conditions are called “legal bases” and, at DaWork, we typically rely on one of four:
-
Contract : One reason we might use your information is that you’ve agreed that we use it.
-
Legitimate interest : Another reason we might use your information is that we have—or a third party has—a legitimate interest in doing so. For example, we need to use your information to provide and improve our services, including protecting your account, delivering your selfies, providing customer support, and helping you find friends and content we think you’ll like. Because most of our services are free, we also use some information about you to try and show you ads you’ll find interesting. An important point to understand about legitimate interest is that our benefits don’t outweigh your right to privacy, so we only rely on legitimate interest when we think the way we are using your data doesn’t significantly impact your privacy or would be expected by you, or there is a compelling reason to do so.
-
Consent : In some cases, we’ll ask for approval to use your information for specific purposes. If we do, we’ll make sure you can revoke your consent in our services or through your device permissions. Even if we’re not relying on approval to use your information, we may ask you for permission to access data like contacts and location.
-
Legal obligation : We may be required to use your personal information to comply with the law, like when we respond to valid legal process or need to take action to protect our users. Since December 16, 2020, our policy has been to notify DaWork users when we receive legal process seeking their account information, with some exceptions.
Your right to object
You have the right to object to our use of your information. With many types of data, we’ve provided you with the ability to delete it if you don’t want us processing it anymore. For other types of data, we’ve given
you the ability to stop the use of your data by disabling the feature altogether. If there are different types of information you don’t agree with our processing; you can contact us.
International transfers
We may collect your personal information from, transfer it to, and store and process it in Belgium and other countries outside of where you live. Whenever we share information of EU users outside the EU, we make sure an adequate transfer mechanism is in place.
Complaints ?
If based in the EU, you can always file a complaint with the supervisory authority in your Member State. For example, if you live in the UK, you can file a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Children
Our services are not intended for—and we don’t direct them to—anyone under 12. Moreover, that’s why we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 12. If we need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your data and your country requires approval from a parent, we may request your parent’s permission before we collect and use that information.
Revisions to the Privacy Policy
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. However, when we do, we’ll let you know one way or another. Sometimes, we’ll tell you by revising the date at the top of the Privacy Policy that’s available on our
website and mobile application. Other times, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our websites’ homepages or providing you with an in-app notification).
