While our primary compliance is with Indian Data Protection Laws, we acknowledge that users from other jurisdictions may be subject to different data protection regulations. Below, we outline our stance regarding some key international standards:

a. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - European Union

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law in the European Union (EU) that grants individuals extensive rights over their personal data.

  • Compliance Status: The website is not fully compliant with GDPR as our primary compliance is with Indian Data Protection Laws. Consequently, certain GDPR-specific rights and protections may not be fully addressed in this Privacy Policy.

  • Implications for EU Residents:
    • Data Processing Practices: Our data processing practices are designed to comply with Indian laws and may not align entirely with GDPR requirements.
    • Your Data Rights Under GDPR: While we respect your privacy, some GDPR rights such as data portability, the right to be forgotten, and explicit consent mechanisms may not be fully supported.

  • Proceeding Accordingly:
    • Awareness: By using our Website, you acknowledge and agree that your data will be processed in accordance with Indian Data Protection Laws.
    • Seeking GDPR Compliance: If you require GDPR-compliant services, please contact us to discuss your needs. We may consider implementing additional measures to address your concerns, subject to feasibility and legal advisability.
    • Alternative Services: You may choose to use alternative services that are fully compliant with GDPR to ensure your data is handled according to EU standards.

b. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) - United States

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides California residents with enhanced privacy rights and greater transparency regarding their personal information.

  • Compliance Status: The website is not fully compliant with CCPA as our primary compliance is with Indian Data Protection Laws. However, certain provisions of CCPA may indirectly apply if we have California residents as users.

  • Implications for California Residents:
    • Rights Under CCPA: California residents have the right to know what personal information is being collected, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information.
    • Our Practices: While we do not sell personal information, we handle personal data in accordance with Indian laws, which may not fully cover all CCPA-specific rights.
  • Proceeding Accordingly:
    • Awareness: By using our Website, you acknowledge and agree that your data will be processed in accordance with Indian Data Protection Laws.
    • Exercising CCPA Rights:
    • How to Submit Requests: If you are a California resident and wish to exercise your CCPA rights, please contact us using one of the following methods:
    • Email: Send your request to ccpa@revommend.com. Please include "CCPA Request" in the subject line.
    • General Contact Form: Use our existing contact form at www.revommend.com/contact and specify that your request pertains to CCPA rights.
    • What to Expect: Upon receiving your request, we will:
      • Verify Your Identity: Ensure that the requester is authorized to make the request to protect your privacy.
      • Assess the Request: Determine the scope and nature of the request (e.g., data access, deletion, opt-out).
      • Respond Appropriately: Provide the requested information, delete data, or implement opt-out measures as applicable.
      • Response Timeframe: We aim to respond to all CCPA-related requests within 45 days, as mandated by law. In certain cases, this period may be extended by an additional 45 days when necessary, and we will inform you accordingly.
  • Alternative Services: You may choose to use alternative services that are fully compliant with CCPA to ensure your data is handled according to California standards.

d. Other International Standards

While GDPR, CCPA are among the most prominent international data protection laws, other countries may have their own regulations. The Website is committed to respecting your privacy and will consider compliance with additional international standards as our operations expand.

  • Awareness: Users from jurisdictions with specific data protection laws should be aware that our primary compliance is with Indian laws.
  • Contact Us: If you reside in a jurisdiction with specific data protection requirements not covered above, please contact us to discuss how we can address your privacy concerns.

e. Future Compliance with International Standards

We are continually assessing our compliance with international data protection standards. Should we decide to comply with GDPR, CCPA or other international regulations in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly and inform our users of any significant changes.
