This policy explains what personal data is collected by BI.ZONE, how and why BI.ZONE uses it, and how BI.ZONE protects your privacy.

This policy has been developed in accordance with Russian Federal Law No. 152‑FZ On Personal Data dated July 27, 2006 (152‑FZ) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) dated April 27, 2016, and aims to ensure that the rights and freedoms of individuals are protected when processing their personal data.

Processing of personal data. Any action or set of actions involving personal data with or without the use of automated means, including collection, recording, organization, accumulation, storage, clarification (updating, modification), retrieval, application, modification, anonymization, blocking, erasure, and transfer.

BI.ZONE does not process the personal data of minors (under the age of 18 or any other age in other jurisdictions) without the consent of their parents or legal guardians.

BI.ZONE does not make decisions that have legal consequences for users or otherwise affect their rights and legitimate interests based solely on the automated processing of personal data.

BI.ZONE adheres to the following principles when processing personal data:

1. BI.ZONE processes personal data in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner. The legal grounds can include a legal contract, consent to the processing of personal data, or the requirements of law and international treaties.
2. BI.ZONE limits the processing of personal data to achieving specific, predefined, and legitimate goals. Your personal data is only used to achieve the purposes for which it was collected.
3. BI.ZONE processes personal data in a manner and to the extent appropriate to the stated purpose. BI.ZONE only collects the data necessary for achieving the previously defined purposes.
4. BI.ZONE stores personal data in an identifiable form for no longer than is required for the purposes of processing or fulfilling BI.ZONE obligations. BI.ZONE destructs your data in a timely manner.
5. BI.ZONE ensures that personal data is accurate, sufficient, and up to date. BI.ZONE takes the necessary steps to erase or clarify incomplete or inaccurate personal data.
6. BI.ZONE ensures the confidentiality of personal data and applies all necessary organizational and technical measures to protect it.

7. BI.ZONE does not link databases containing personal data that is being processed for different, mutually incompatible purposes. This means that the data collected for different processing purposes is kept separate from each other. This prevents it from being used for any other purpose.

BI.ZONE is responsible for complying with the above principles for the processing of personal data within the limits of applicable law.

BI.ZONE receives personal data only from the Website users. By using BI.ZONE services, you may decide to give BI.ZONE the personal data of third parties.

The third‑party personal data that you transmit belongs to you, and BI.ZONE will follow your instructions regarding this data.

In compliance with the personal data processing principles outlined above, your data may be transferred to the following categories of recipients:

If the transfer of data to a foreign country has no legal basis, or if the receiving party does not provide an adequate level of data protection, the data will strictly be transferred by virtue of your written consent.
