Correcting personal information
Users are required to review and update their personal information to ensure that the information provided to DRPC is correct.
How and why does DRPC use Users’ Personal Data?
Set out below is the description of the ways DRPC intends to use its Users’ Personal Data and the legal grounds on which DRPC will process such data. Where relevant, we also explain what our legitimate interests are.
The most common legal/lawful grounds for DRPC processing of Users’ Personal Data are:
Where DRPC needs to enter into and/or perform a contract with User;
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), and the User’s interests, provided, however, that these legitimate interests do not infringe on User’s fundamental rights;
Where DRPC needs to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
DRPC may process Users’ Personal Data on more than one lawful ground, depending on the specific purpose for which DRPC is using Users’ data. Please do not hesitate to email us for details about the specific legal grounds DRPC is relying on to process Users’ Personal Data if more than one ground has been set out in the table below:

The Users’ history
For security and operations purposes DRPC may at its sole discretion maintain records of the User’s activity on the Website, including, the Website browsing history, records of the User’s transactions, and other information related to the User’s activity on the Website.
Marketing communications
The User will receive marketing communications from DRPC if the User has:
Requested information from DRPC or obtained access to the Website and/or the Services; or
If the User provided DRPC with its details and checked the box when entering their details for DRPC to send the User marketing communications, e.g. when the User obtained access to the Website and/or the Services, or when the User signed up for a subscription (if any); and
In each case, the User has not opted out of receiving DRPC marketing communications.
DRPC will obtain the User’s express opt-in consent before DRPC shares the User’s Personal Data with any third party for such third party’s marketing purposes. Generally, DRPC does not rely on consent as a legal ground for processing the User’s Personal Data, other than in relation to sending marketing communications to the User via email. The User has the right to withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time. The User can ask DRPC to stop sending them marketing emails by following the opt-out or “unsubscribe” links on any marketing message sent to the User or by emailing at [email protected].
Where the User opts-out of receiving our marketing communications, this will not affect Personal Data provided to DRPC in the course of accessing or using the Website and/or the Services or any other experience referring to and/or applying to the Website and/or the Services.

Change of purpose
DRPC will only use the User’s Personal Data for the purposes for which DRPC collected it, unless DRPC reasonably believes that DRPC needs to use it for some other reason and that reason is consistent with the original purpose. If you wish to find out more about how the processing for the new purpose is consistent with the original purpose, please do not hesitate to email us for details. If DRPC needs to use the User’s Personal Data for a purpose unrelated to the purpose for which DRPC collected such data, DRPC will notify the User and explain the legal grounds for processing. DRPC may process the User’s Personal Data without the User’s knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.

Opt-In/Opt-Out
DRPC allows Users to monitor the way in which DRPC uses their personal information obtained by DRPC. All promotional materials P2@ sends to Users (e.g. “newsletters” or “information bulletins”) contain internal mechanisms that allow Users to block future mailings (Opt-out, or “unsubscribe”).
Right to access, rectify, modify, erase and object
Users have the right to request access, rectification, or erasure of their data that DRPC has collected. Personal Data that was used or is being used for performance of a contract with the User, for data verification purposes cannot be erased upon User’s demand, and it will be handled in accordance with the governing laws. The User also has the right to object or restrict, for legitimate purposes, the processing of the User’s Personal Data, as well as the right to data portability. If the User chooses to restrict DRPC access to Personal Data, DRPC may be unable to provide certain Services to the User. The User may also withdraw its consent to receive marketing communications and/or share their Personal Data with DRPC. Users who wish to deactivate their account may do so in accordance with the Terms.

The removal of the information and/or Personal Data that was used or is being used for performance of a contract with the User, for data verification purposes cannot be accomplished upon the User’s demand, and such Personal Data will be handled in accordance with the governing law.

Removed information is retained for DRPC internal statistic purposes along with the User’s history of actions and requests relating to the Website and/or the Services. The User will not have to pay a fee to access their Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights relating to its Personal Data on the Website and/or the Services). However, DRPC may charge a reasonable fee if the User’s request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, DRPC may refuse to comply with the User’s request in such circumstances. DRPC may need to request specific information from the User to help DRPC confirm the User’s identity and ensure their right to access their Personal Data (or to exercise any of the User’s other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any unauthorized person. DRPC may also contact the User to ask the User for further information in relation to the User’s request to speed up the response. DRPC will try to respond to all legitimate requests within three month. Occasionally it may take longer if the User’s request is particularly complex or the User has made a number of requests. In this case, DRPC will notify the User and keep the User updated. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us.
Data retention
DRPC will only retain the User’s Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes DRPC collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate Personal Data retention period, DRPC considers the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the User’s Personal Data, the purposes for which DRPC processes the User’s Personal Data, whether these purposes could be achieved through any other means, and the applicable legal requirements. By law, for accounting and tax purposes DRPC has to keep basic information about our Users (including contact, identity, and transaction data) for seven (07) years after they cease being Users. In some circumstances DRPC may anonymize the User’s Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with the User) for research or statistical purposes, in which case DRPC may use this information indefinitely without further notice to User.
