Privacy Policy

InsideUp (“InsideUp”, “we”, “us”, “our”) wants to earn your trust by telling you exactly how we collect and use information about you. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website, as data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of our company. We also want you to have control over your personal data. This document describes our privacy policy and includes some useful links to websites where you can learn more about protecting your privacy.

Introduction

At InsideUp, we are creating a dynamic online community where you can search for business services, review vendor ratings, and get candid and honest feedback on vendor services. Registered members (“members”) can rate vendors, provide references, and answer questions from other members. To insure accuracy, we allow business vendors to flag ratings and references that may not come from actual customers

The processing of personal data, such as, but not limited to, the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject will always be in line with the:

  • Any other country-specific data protection regulations applicable.
As controller and processor, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website and application. However, internet-based data transmissions may, in principle, have security gaps occasionally, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

In your relationship with us through the website, the controller, for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection, is:
