PRIVACY POLICY

At happhy, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including the rules of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC ('GDPR').

In what follows, we clarify what personal data we collect, why we use it and what your rights in this regard are.

1. Who is the controller?

ClijstersConcept BV, with its registered office at 3500 Hasselt, Lazarijstraat 150, Belgium, and with enterprise number 0695.731.510 (happhy) is the data controller.

If you wish to contact us, please use the following contact details:

If you contact us to exercise any of the rights mentioned under point 9, we kindly request you to clearly specify precisely which right you wish to exercise. Please be as specific as possible in this context so that we can assist you efficiently. Happhy is not a controller in connection with data that users themselves choose to share with other users (e.g. via mutual messages on the digital platform). This is not part of the current policy.

2. Processing of personal data

'Personal data' refers to any information about an identified or identifiable natural person (the 'data subject'). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more elements characterising the physical, physiological, genetical, psychological, economical, cultural or social identity of that natural person. In other words, it is any information on the basis of which a person can be identified. This includes, for example, your surname, first name, date of birth, phone number and e-mail address, as well as your IP address. When we 'process' personal data, it means that we collect, store, use, organise, retain, update, modify, retrieve, consult, use, spread, combine, archive, transfer or delete such data in the broadest sense referred to in the GDPR. Happhy collects and processes your personal data only in the following cases:

1. if you install the happhy app;
2. if you visit the happhy website without being a member;
3. if you contact us;
4. if you take out a free or paid subscription with happhy and thus create a profile.

Data processing via App-Stores: When installing the happhy App via an App store such as Google or Apple, you may have to conclude a user agreement with this App store provider. In such case, happhy shall have no influence on the processing of personal data for the use of the store or the installation of the app. Here, the App store shall be the controller. If necessary, you may directly contact the App store provider of the relevant App platform with regard to data processing. In such case, happhy shall not be responsible until the effective use of the happhy app.

3. What personal data provided by our users do we process?

To provide our services, it is necessary to process the personal data described below, provided by the user, as part of the registration process or the conclusion of a happhy membership, among other things. Depending on which membership one opts for, more, or less personal data will be processed. Additional data about the company shall be requested for the happhy Pro formula.

3.2. General

All data from the happhy profile may be visible on the App to other logged-in users. If the happhy Premium or happhy Pro membership is ordered through an App store provider (e.g. Google or Apple) as a third party, the terms of use of these App store providers also specify which personal data they process during the ordering process. In this regard, happhy itself does not process payment and billing data. Please refer to the third-party payment service provider for more information on the processing of such personal data.

Happhy processes personal data for the purposes listed below based on the following legal grounds:

6.1. Implementing the agreement

The purpose of the processing activity on this ground consists in:

• Creating a profile;
• Proper performance of the agreement;
• Providing access to functionalities and completing registration;
• Complaint handling;
• Collecting payment or billing data.

6.2. Consent

Users' consent is used as the legal ground to engage in direct marketing. Specifically, this allows happhy to inform its users via e-mail about news, tips, advice, offers, promotions and events.

The processing of personal data for these purposes is founded on the legitimate interest of happhy (only and when the legitimate interest of our company outweighs the interest of the data subjects).

6.4. A legal obligation that rests on happhy

If necessary, happhy processes identification and contact data on this ground to comply with legal, administrative and regulatory obligations (e.g. under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism legislation).

7. With whom do we share personal data?

We only provide relevant aspects of personal data to third parties if such parties are contractually linked to happhy or act on happhy's instructions, or are subcontractors of happhy.

In such transfers of personal data, happhy respects the GDPR's basic principles of proportionality, transparency and lawfulness of the processing activity.

We also do not provide personal data to companies outside the European Economic Area, except in cases of adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards, binding corporate rules or transfers referred to in Section 49(1) of the GDPR. In the legally defined cases, we do have an obligation to communicate certain personal data to the specific bodies. Access to these data is limited to employees who need to access certain personal data for functional reasons, who are obliged to respect the confidentiality of these data.

8. How long do we retain personal data?

We retain personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out above. Since the retention period depends on the purpose and type of personal data, the retention periods vary.
