Third party websites may place their own cookies or other files on the User’s computer or device, collect data or solicit Personal Information from the Users.  Any Personal Information provided by You or automatically collected from You by a third party will be governed by that third party’s privacy policy and terms of use, for which Graphy is not responsible or liable. Accordingly, Graphy does not make any representations concerning the privacy practices or policies of such third parties or terms of use of such websites, nor does Graphy guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of the information, data, text, software, sound, photographs, graphics, videos, messages, or other materials available on such third-party websites. The inclusion or exclusion of any third-party website does not imply any endorsement by Graphy of such website, the website's provider, or the information on the website. Graphy encourages the User to read the privacy policies of each such website and the User understands that its solely such third party who is responsible to the User in this regard.

Graphy has taken reasonable precautions as per applicable laws and implemented industry standards to treat Personal Information as confidential and to protect it from unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, deletion, modification and unlawful destruction or accidental loss of the Personal Information.  However, the safety and security of Your Personal Information also depends upon You.  Where You use a password for access to the required parts of the Platform, You are responsible for keeping Your password confidential.  Do not share Your password with anyone. 

B.     PROCESSORS AND CONTROLLERS

Graphy is the controller of Personal Information that it collects and processes in connection with the use of the Platform and the provision of the Services on the Platform. The kind of Personal Information we collect in connection with such use is detailed below.

When it comes to the Content that is uploaded, submitted, or otherwise provided to the Platform by the Creators, known as “Creator Data”, such Creators are the controllers with respect to any Personal Information included in the Creator Data. Graphy only acts as a processor in this case and processes the Creator Data on behalf of the Creator.

When a Learner enrols to purchase any Creator’s Content, Graphy will provide the Creator access to a limited set of Personal Information about such Learner to enable the Creator to provide their services to the Learner. We clarify that in respect of the Learners' Personal Information, Graphy shall remain the controller of the Personal Information collected, processed and stored on the Platform as stated hereunder, however, any Personal Information processed and stored by the Creator outside the purview of the Platform shall be the sole responsibility of the Creator.

You as a Creator acknowledge and agree that You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations related to the protection of Personal Information for which You are the controller or the processor. If You are a Learner whose Personal Information has been processed or stored by a Creator, please contact the Creator directly and view the Creator’s privacy policy to understand how the Creator uses Your Personal Information.

C.     ACCESS

Users are allowed to access and view the Platform as a guest and without creating an account on the Platform or providing any Personal Information, Graphy takes no responsibility or validate the information provided by the guest, except as otherwise required under any law, regulation or an order of competent authority. However, to have access to all the features and benefits on our Platform, a User is required to first create an account on our Platform. To create an account, a User is required to provide Personal Information as may be required during the time of registration. Other information requested on the registration page, including the ability to receive promotional offers from Graphy, is optional. Graphy may, in future, include other optional requests for information from the User to help Graphy to customize the Platform to deliver personalized information to the User. Graphy may keep records of telephone calls received and made for making enquiries, registered courses, feedback, or other purposes for the purpose of rendering services effectively and efficiently.

D.     PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may submit these requests to us as described below, and we honor these rights where they apply.

If a request is submitted in a manner that is not one of the designated methods for submission, or if the request is deficient in some manner unrelated to our verification process, we will either (1) treat the request as if it had been submitted in accordance with the designated manner, or (2) provide You with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies with the request, as applicable.

(i)Verification Process: We are required by law to verify the identities of those who submit requests to know or to delete. To determine whether the individual making the request is the consumer about whom we have collected information, we will verify Your identity by matching the identifying information provided by You in the request to the Personal Information that we already maintain about You. As a part of this process, you will be required to provide Your name and email address, and mobile number (if the same have been voluntarily provided by You at the time of registering on the Platform or otherwise while using the Platform). We will inform you if we cannot verify Your identity. Please note-

·     If we cannot verify the identity of the person making a request for categories of Personal Information, we may deny the request. If the request is denied in whole or in part for this reason, we will provide a copy of, or direct You to, our Privacy Policy.

·     If we cannot verify the identity of the person making the request for specific pieces of Personal Information, we are prohibited from disclosing any specific pieces of Personal Information to the requestor. However, if denied in whole or in part for this reason, we will evaluate the request as if it is seeking the disclosure of categories of Personal Information about the consumer.
