This privacy policy describes how www.gitshack.com uses and protects any information that you give us.
We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal
information through www.gitshack.com, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this
privacy policy.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, www.gitshack.com collects non-personally-identifying information of the
sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language
preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. www.gitshack.com's purpose
in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how www.gitshack.com's
visitors use its website. From time to time, www.gitshack.com may release non-personally-identifying
information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
www.gitshack.com also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol
(IP) addresses. www.gitshack.com does not use IP addresses to identify its visitors, however, and does
not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses
personally-identifying information, as described below.
GDPR Privacy Notice
This notice is for people who are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and supplements our general
Privacy Statement. Our processing of personal data of people who are in the EEA is governed by the General
Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), which applies from May 25, 2018. The GDPR requires us to provide
certain information to you about your personal data, which we refer to in this notice as your personal
information.
Data Controller
The data controller for this website is GitShack LLC (GitShack for short). For our contact
information, see the section in our general Privacy Statement headed “How to Contact Us”.
Purposes of the processing
The only information collected through our website is traffic logs which stores IP address and the
requested resource name, information and status or personal information provided voluntarily by
visitors for the purpose of receiving additional information by filling out a contact form.
We use the information provided by our visitors solely to respond to and process their requests.
Lawful basis for the processing
Generally, we process personal information provided by visitors through our website on the basis of consent.

as when the processing is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations.

However, some third party services may set Cookies that are necessary to display content or perform
other functions you have requested.

We use various service providers to manage our website and provide services such as

Information regarding the transfers of personal data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA)
GitShack's main administrative offices are based in the USA and that's where we process personal
information collected through our website. When you provide personal information to us, we request your
consent to transfer that personal information to the USA. The USA does not have an adequacy decision
from the European Commission, which means that the Commission has not determined that the laws of the
USA provide adequate protection for personal information. Although the laws of the USA do not provide
legal protection that is equivalent to EU data protection laws, we safeguard your personal information
by treating it in accordance with this GDPR Privacy Notice. We take appropriate steps to protect your
privacy and implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information in storage.
We use secure transmission methods to collect personal data through our website. We also enter into
contracts with our data processors that require them to treat personal information in a manner that is
consistent with this Notice.
Retention period for personal information
How long we retain personal information varies according to the type of information in question and the
purpose for which it is used. We delete personal information within a reasonable period after we no longer
need to use it for the purpose for which it was collected (or for any subsequent purpose that is compatible
with the original purpose). This does not affect your right to request that we delete your personal data
before the end of its retention period. We may archive personal data (which means storing it in inactive
files) for a certain period prior to its final deletion, as part of our ordinary business continuity
procedures.
Your rights to access, correct, restrict or delete your personal data and object to processing
You have the right to request access to your personal data, to have your personal data corrected,
restricted or deleted, and to object to our processing of your personal data. You also have the right
of data portability, which means that you can request that we provide you (or a third party you designate)
with a transferable copy of personal information that you have provided to us. Your rights may be subject
to various limitations under the GDPR. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, or if you have any
concerns about our processing of your personal data, please contact us
through our contact form.
The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You have the right to file a complaint concerning our processing of your personal data with your
national (or in some countries, regional) data protection authority.
Absence of statutory or contractual requirement or other obligation to provide any personal data
Users of our website are under no statutory or contractual requirement or other obligation to provide
personal information to us via our website.
