Privacy Policy

Effective date: 24/09/2018

This privacy policy ("Policy") explains how Riter Team ("Riter", "us" or "we") collects, stores, uses, protects or otherwise handles your personal information when you access and/or use the website https://riter.co (including all subdomains, collectively, the "Website"), services located at or provided by the Website ("Services") or when you otherwise interact with us. We are always transparent about what information we collect, with whom we share it and who you should contact if you have any concerns.

Accepting the Policy

This Policy will enter into force as soon as you first accept it while registering for the Services, sending us your data via contact form or subscribing to the Services on the Website. It is applied to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Services. If you provide us your personal information in any way, this means you accept all terms of this Policy. So, we strongly encourage you to familiarize with the Policy before accepting it.

This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms of Service and explains our practices and the choices you can make about the way your Personal Data is collected and used in connection with the Website and the Service. By using the Website and the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and to our collection, processing and sharing of Personal Data for the purposes set forth herein. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not access or otherwise use the Websites and the Service.

You may only accept the Policy and use the Services if you are over the age of 18 (or the age of majority where you are located). The Websites and the Service are not structured to attract children under the age of 18, and we do not intend to collect Personal Data from anyone we know to be under 18. If we learn that we have collected Personal Data from anyone under 18 years, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe that we might have any such information, please contact us by e-mail.

Collection of Information

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you create an account, subscribe, fill out a form, request customer support or otherwise communicate with us. You are not legally obligated to provide us with your Personal Data and may do so at your own free will. If you do not agree to provide us with such data or have it processed by us, please simply do not enter our Websites or use our Services.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you access or use the Services, we automatically collect information about you, including:

All log and device information is kept for a month to let us respond to technical problems and fix them as soon as possible. We store log files of each company separately so we can delete them immediately on your request if you wish to stop using the Service.


Use of Information

We may use information about you for various purposes, including to:


Sharing of Information

We ourselves do not host any of the websites and services. All hosting is done by third-party service providers that we engage. This means that data you provide us or that we collect from you (including your Personal Data) is hosted with such third-party service providers on servers that they own or control. All data which you provide to us directly or which we collect automatically by ourselves is stored in Germany.

Remember, we don't share your information with advertisers. We may share personal information about you as follows:

We may also share aggregated or anonymized information that does not identify you.


Security and Backups

The security of your Personal Data is important to us. We take reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. We follow generally accepted industry standards such as use of the HTTPS protocol, password encryption, backups, secure server providers to protect the Personal Data submitted to us. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security or confidentiality.

We make daily backups to protect your data in case of sudden failures or malicious attacks. For the last 3 days we make and store 3 backups for each day. For older backups we store 1 backup per a day. Backups are kept in Germany for a month and a half. Older versions of backups are regularly deleted. In the event of damage to your data, backups will allow you to restore a normal workflow with almost no loss. On your request, we can delete all your data, including backups, at any time.


Your Rights

In Riter, we firmly support and comply with the adopted data protection standards, including GDPR. As a Data Subject, you should know and clearly understand your rights regarding the processing of your data. We have implemented all the necessary mechanisms to ensure compliance of the Services with all your rights. You can also exercise your rights at any time by contacting our support team at the Website or our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].

Right to be informed

You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your Personal Data by the Services. We assure you that none of your Personal Data is collected and used in a different way than described in this document. If something in this Policy is unclear to you, feel free to contact us for any additional explanations.

Right of access

You have the right to access a copy of your Personal Data. We have one month to respond to a request. You can exercise your right by writing to us directly through the contact form. If we have doubts about the identity of the person making the request, we can ask for more information about you. The period for responding to the request begins when we receive the additional information.

Right to rectification

The GDPR includes a right for individuals to have inaccurate Personal Data rectified, or completed if it is incomplete. We have one calendar month to respond to a request. You can exercise this right by writing to our support team. You can also update your account data in the management panel, in the settings of a particular user's page. If you don't have access to the management panel, you can contact your project manager or the company's owner to this end. Everybody who has access to the management panel can update your data on your request.

Right to erasure

The GDPR introduces a right for individuals to have Personal Data erased. It is also known as 'the right to be forgotten'. If you want us to delete any or all data about you or your company, please contact us with such a request. We have one month to respond to a request. We are able to cancel your subscription, delete your account, company with all related accounts and information, all your contact data and correspondence with our employees, backups, log files, collected analytics all together or selectively on your request. If you just need to unsubscribe from Riter mailings, you can do it on your own via the appropriate link in the mailing.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request the restriction or suppression of your Personal Data in certain circumstances. You can make a request for restriction your data via the contact form. We have one calendar month to respond to a request. When you exercise this right, your data is still stored by us, but we don't use it and you have no access to it. Individuals have the right to request us restrict the processing of their Personal Data in the following circumstances:

In these cases, as a matter of good practice, we automatically restrict the processing whilst we are considering its accuracy or the legitimate grounds for processing the Personal Data in question.

Right to data portability

The right to data portability allows individuals to obtain and reuse their Personal Data for their own purposes across different services. It allows them to move, copy or transfer Personal Data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way, without affecting its usability. So, you have the right to receive your Personal Data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format. You also have the right to request that we transmit this data directly to another controller (service).

The right to data portability only applies to Personal Data. This means that it does not apply to genuinely anonymous data. We will respond to a request for data portability without undue delay and within one month of receipt.

Right to object

You have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances. For example, you have an absolute right to stop your data being used for direct marketing. You should not subscribe or register for any Riter Services if you don't want your data to be processed. You can also revoke your consent to data processing in future. In some cases you can do it by yourself, for example, by unsubscribing Riter mailing, removing or rejecting browser cookies. In other cases you need to write to us with your objection. We have one calendar month to respond to an objection.


Data Protection Officer

We have appointed Eugene Ignatov as our Data Protection Officer, for monitoring and advising on Riter's ongoing Privacy compliance and serving as a point of contact on Privacy matters for data subjects and supervisory authorities. If you have any comments or questions regarding our Privacy Policy, if you have any concerns regarding your Privacy, or if you wish to make a complaint about how your Personal Data is being processed by the Riter Team, you can contact us on the Website or write to our DPO at [email protected].
