We may also use metadata for other purposes, including online advertising.
Third parties or publicly available sources.

We may also collect information about you from non-affiliated third parties for fraud or safety protection purposes, or for marketing purposes. We likewise may combine information that we collect from you through the Services with information that we obtain from such third parties and information derived from any other products or services we provide.
In general, the Personal Information you provide to Groupii is used to help us communicate with you. For example, Groupii uses your Personal Information to (i) make contact with you, (ii) provide you with the Services, and/or (ii) provide customer service and technical support.

The partial payment information Stripe stores may be used in future to verify you before providing you with customer service or technical support.
Sharing Personal Information
Groupii may sometimes (i) share Personal Information with sub-contractors and/or marketers for the sole purposes of providing the Services to you; and (ii) contract with third party service providers to supply specific components of the Services to you or to provide us with information about your use of the Website, Platform and our Services. These may include payment processing facilities, behavioral analytics, logistic partners, and messaging applications. In some cases, the third parties may require access to some or all of your Personal Information. Where any of your Personal Information is required for such a purpose, Groupii shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Information will be handled safely, securely, and in accordance with our Privacy Policy, your rights, our obligations, and the obligations of the third party under the law.

Aggregated or Anonymized Information
Groupii may also share aggregated or anonymized information with third parties for legal reasons i.e. we may share information about you if we reasonably believe that disclosing the information is needed to comply with any valid legal process, governmental request, or applicable law, rule or regulation, investigation, remedy, or enforce potential violations of our Terms of Service; to protect our, our users' or others' rights, property and safety; detect and resolve any fraud or security concerns; or with third parties as part of a merger or acquisition.

Your Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation
For the purposes of complying with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”), you have certain rights as provided under GDPR and applicable data protection laws in relation to your Personal Information. You have the right to:
Request access to your Personal Information (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel the processing of your Personal Information will impact on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios: if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase the data; where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require the data as you need the data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use your Personal Information.
Request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain Services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your Personal Information by written notice to Groupii, using the contact details set out below. Should you have any cause for complaint about our use of your Personal Information, please contact Groupii using the details provided below and we will endeavor to solve the problem for you.

In your email, please specify the details you would like to know, and specify the Personal Information you would like to access.

We will respond to your request in accordance with the CCPA. In the event we deny your request, we will provide you with an explanation.
Right to delete. You may request the deletion of Personal Information that we collect or hold about you. To submit a request to delete Personal Information, email your request to hello@groupii.ai and include ‘CCPA Request to Delete’ in the subject line. Please make sure you specify in your request what Personal Information you would like us to have deleted.
Right to non-discrimination. You have the right not to be denied access to the Services just because you exercised your rights under the CCPA.
