6. How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals
Various browsers, including Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari, currently offer a “Do Not Track” or “DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to websites visited by the user about the user’s browser DNT preference setting. Please note that, at this time, we do not honor “DNT” signals or other mechanisms that may allow you to opt out of the collection of information across networks of websites and online services as there is no standard for how online services should respond to such signals. As standards evolve, we may develop policies for responding to DNT signals that would be described in future versions of this notice. For more information on DNT options, please visit www.allaboutdnt.org.

International Transfers of Personal Data
We store and process your Personal Data in data centres around the world, where Gallant facilities or Service providers are located. As such, we may transfer your Personal Data outside of the European Union. Some of the countries to which your Personal Data may be transferred to for these purposes that are located outside the EU do not benefit from the adequacy decision issued by the EU Commission regarding protection afforded to Personal Data in that country. Details of these specific countries can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en. Such transfers are undertaken in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations, and appropriate safeguards under DP Law will be implemented, such as standard data protection clauses, with data recipients or processors approved by competent authorities. A copy may be requested at the address set out in the Contact Us section. “DP Law” means data protection law as applicable to Gallant, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), its successors or implementing texts. “Personal Data” has the meaning set forth in DP Law. This notice covers our use of your Personal Data arising from use of the Gallant website (gallant.exchange) as well as registering, subscribing, buying and using our products and Services. If you have any questions or need any further clarification please get in touch. Contact details are set out below in the Contact Us section.
YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS
You have certain rights concerning your Personal Data under DP Law, as mentioned below, and can exercise them by contacting us at [email protected].
Access: you are entitled to ask us if we are processing your information and, if we are, you can request access to your Personal Data. This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold on you and certain other information about it to check that we are processing it lawfully. We process a large quantity of information and can thus request, in accordance with DP Law, that before the information is delivered, you specify the information or processing activities to which your request relates.
Correction: you are entitled to request that any incomplete or inaccurate Personal Data we hold about you is corrected.
Erasure: you are entitled to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data in certain circumstances. There are also certain exceptions where we may refuse a request for erasure; for example, where the Personal Data is required for compliance with law or in connection with claims.
Restriction: you are entitled to ask us to suspend the processing of certain parts of your Personal Data; for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or disclose the reason for processing it.
Transfer: you may request the transfer of a certain part of your Personal Data to another party.
Objection: where we are processing your Personal Data based on a legitimate interest (or that of a third-party) you may challenge this. However, we may be entitled to continue processing your information based on our legitimate interests or where this is relevant to legal claims. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.
Automated decisions: you may contest any automated decision made about you where this has a legally or similarly significant effect and ask for it to be reconsidered.
You also have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of the European Union where you are habitually resident, where we are based or where an alleged infringement of Data Protection Law has taken place. In the UK, you can make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (Tel: 0044 1625 545 700 or at www.ico.org.uk). In Luxembourg, you can make a complaint to the Luxembourg data protection authority (Commission nationale pour la protection des données, Tel: 00352 26 10 60 1 or at www.cnpd.public.lu).

13. Your California Privacy Rights
- California Consumer Privacy Act
California residents (“CA customers”) have certain rights concerning their personal information, including under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). The preceding sections of this notice describe our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of personal information. This section supplements the preceding sections by describing CA customers’ additional rights with respect to their personal information and explaining how to exercise such rights.
As discussed above, we collect and use the following categories of personal information stated in the CCPA for the business and commercial purposes described in this notice: real name; username; postal address; email address; telephone number; social security number; driver’s license, state identification, and passport numbers; date of birth and age; profile photographs; credit card, debit card, and bank account numbers and other payment and financial information; tax information and documents; commercial information, including records of products or services purchased, obtained, or considered; information on users’ interaction with the Website and Application(s) and other websites and applications, including information on preferences, usage, communications, subscriptions, SNS usernames, associations, likes, and public profile information; and inferences drawn from such information. We collect this personal information from the categories of sources described above. We may disclose the foregoing categories of personal information for our business and commercial purposes to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Used, Shared, or Sold
CA customers have the right to request that we disclose the following information for the period covering the 12 months preceding their request:
-
- the categories of personal information we collected about you;
- the categories of sources from which we collected personal information about you;
- the categories of personal information that we have disclosed about you for our business purposes and the categories of suppliers to whom the personal information was disclosed;
- the categories of personal information that we sold to third parties and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold, if any;
- the business or commercial purpose(s) for which personal information about you was collected, shared or sold; and
- the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.
- Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information
CA customers have the right to request that we delete the personal information we maintain about them, subject to certain exceptions.
- Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information
CA customers have the right to opt-out of a business’s sale of their personal information. Under the CCPA, the terms “sell,” “selling,” or “sale” mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a CA customer’s personal information to another business or third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. The CCPA provides that a business does not sell personal information when:
- the customer uses or directs the business to intentionally disclose his or her personal information or uses the business to intentionally interact with a third party, as long as the third party does not also sell the personal information; or
- the business uses or shares with a service provider personal information of a customer that is necessary to perform a business purpose, as long as (i) the business has provided appropriate notice that personal information is being used or shared and (ii) the service provider does not further collect, sell, or use the personal information of the customer except as necessary to perform the business purpose.
As described above, we allow certain companies to place tracking technologies on our sites, which allow those companies to receive information about your activity on our sites that is associated with your browser or device. Based on our understanding of the CCPA, the Company believes this is not a “sale” of personal information and that we have not sold the personal information of CA customers, including minors under 16 years of age, within the preceding 12 months, nor will we do so going forward.
- Right to Non-Discrimination for Exercising Privacy Rights.
We will not discriminate against CA customers for exercising their rights under the CCPA.
- How To Exercise Your Rights
You may submit a request by emailing us at [email protected] or by sending us a privacy request through the Contact Us web form located at gallant.exchange. Please note that we may deny or fulfill a request only in part, based on our legal rights and obligations. Please also note that, for purposes of these rights, personal information does not include information about job applicants, employees and other of our personnel or information about employees and other representatives of third-party entities we may interact with.
When we receive a request, we will verify the identity of the requestor and undertake to respond within the periods set by California law. If a CA customer has a password-protected account with we, we will verify their identity through our existing authentication practices and will require him or her to re-authenticate themselves before disclosing or deleting the customer’s data. If a CA customer does not have a password-protected account, we will take reasonable steps to verify their identity in accordance with the CCPA prior to responding any request. The verification steps may vary depending on the sensitivity of the personal information. If we cannot verify a requestor’s identity using these methods, we may use an appropriate third-party verification service.
- Designating an Authorized Agent to Submit Privacy Requests
CA customers may use an authorized agent to submit a Request to Know or a Request to Delete. An authorized agent is a person or entity registered with the California Secretary of State that a CA customer has authorized to act on his or her behalf. If you choose to submit a privacy request to us through an authorized agent, we may require that you provide the agent with written permission to do so and that the agent verify their own identity with us. If your privacy request is submitted by an agent without proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf, we may deny the request.
- “Shine the Light” Law
A CA customer who has provided personal information to a business with whom he has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a CA customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed.
However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy or notice) a policy of not disclosing customer’s personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the business gives users a mechanism to opt out of having their personal information disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost-free means to exercise the right.
We have opted for this alternative approach. As stated in this notice, we give customers a mechanism to opt out of having their personal information disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of third parties that received your personal information for marketing purposes. If you wish to opt-out of sharing your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, please email us at [email protected] or send us a privacy request through the Contact Us web form located at gallant.exchange and describe your request as “Re:Opt-out”.
