Privacy Policy & Data Processing Agreement

Terms and Conditions

Applicability Of This Privacy Policy & DPA #️⃣

This Privacy Policy & DPA applies to Localazy’s mobile apps (collectively, the “Apps”) and Localazy’s websites (collectively, the “Websites”) and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries, etc.) you may have with Localazy. If you disagree with the terms, do not access or use the Apps, the Websites, or any other aspect of Localazy business.

This is an important document that forms the contractual basis for processing data on your behalf. It explains how your data may be processed and what its purpose is. We will only process your personal data as necessary and on your instructions as set out in the Agreement.

Our Websites and Apps may contain links to other third-party applications, websites, products, and services that could be integrated into our services solely for the convenience of our customers. These third-party services may have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and your use of these third-party services will be governed by and subject to their documentation.

These are not our services, so we do not endorse any third-party services and are not responsible for their conduct, features, or content, and it is ultimately your decision whether or not to enable them.
In addition, we make no express or implied warranties regarding the information, materials, products, or services contained in or accessible through third-party services. Any access to or use of a Third Party Service is solely at your own risk, governed directly between you and the applicable Third Party Provider.

Due to the size of our customer base, it would not be possible to enter into individually signed contracts with each of our users. We also hope that the ease of agreeing to this Agreement will ensure that accepting the new terms and conditions to comply with GDPR will be less time-consuming for you.
