If you use our mobile app or provide us with your cell phone number, these communications also include text messages and push notifications. We communicate with you about your account, privacy, and interactions with your content (for example, if others "like" your reviews or respond to your comment). We also ask for your feedback about your experience in connection with our website or about your home renovation and design plans. In accordance with applicable law, we communicate to you tips, offers, and similar services from us and may feature professionals, suppliers and other businesses on our website in these communications.

Our website also allows you and others to send messages in our website, share content with others outside our website, and if you make your contact information available, for others to contact you outside our website.

6. Account Termination and Data Retention

You may deactivate your account at any time by going to your account settings. When you deactivate your account, you will cease to provide ongoing or future data to us. Your profile will no longer be viewable but in accordance with applicable law and our Terms & Conditions, your photos, reviews, and other content may still be accessible and viewable. In order to request permanent closure and deletion of your account, please contact us via email or website contact form.

We will keep your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we are processing your personal information unless the law permits or requires us to retain your personal information for a longer period. For example, we may need to keep your personal data for quality assurance for our website or to defend future legal claims. We also will retain aggregated information after your account has been closed. Information you have shared with others will remain visible after you have closed your account or deleted the information from your own profile or account, and we do not control information or content that others have copied out of our website. Please note that copies of information that you have updated, modified, or deleted may continue to reside in our systems for a period of time, and we may maintain copies of this information as part of our business records.

7. Children

Our website is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will take appropriate steps to delete that information. If you become aware or believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us via email or website contact form.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal information.

11. International Transfers of Personal Information

KlappAV is based in Melbourne, Australia. We may have service providers, corporate affiliates and marketers in several countries. In order to provide you with the services you sign up for by creating a KlappAV account or visiting our website, your personal information will be transferred to and processed in Australia (or any other country where we, our corporate affiliates, agents and service providers operate). Data protection laws differ among jurisdictions and countries. These other jurisdictions and countries may not provide the same level of protection for personal information as your jurisdiction of residence. If you are from the European Economic Area ("EEA") and we transfer your personal information to countries outside of the EEA, we will take appropriate steps to ensure your personal information is afforded the same level of protection as described in this Privacy Policy.

12. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information (European Economic Area)

If you are from the EEA, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. We collect and use your information for a variety of business purposes that are in our legitimate interests, in order to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, or to comply with our legal obligations.

If you wish to learn more about specific legal grounds we rely on to process your information for any particular purpose (including any legitimate interests we have to process this information), please contact us via email or website contact form. For example, we rely on our legitimate interests to process information for direct marketing purposes and for fraud prevention and detection, provided these interests are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

13. Your Data Protection Rights (European Economic Area)

In some regions, such as the EEA, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information. KlappAV takes reasonable steps to ensure that the data we collect is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and up to date. You also can manage your profile and settings in your accounts page on our website. However, if you are not a user of our website and you want to contact us directly about accessing, correcting, updating, or deleting your personal information, or altering your data or marketing preferences, you can do so at any time by contacting as via email or website contact form. We will consider your request in accordance with applicable laws.

You can object to processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing of your personal information, or request portability of your personal information. Again, you can exercise these rights by contacting us as provided in the Contact Us section. You also can deactivate your profile and obtain a copy of your information through your account settings.

You can complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority. Contact details for data protection authorities in the EEA and Switzerland are available here.

Similarly, if we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We may ask you to verify your identity in order to help us respond efficiently to your request.
