Metadata stored for these purposes will be deleted or anonymized at the latest after 6 months.

In order to ensure communication, GO4YU works with different service providers who also have access to the technical systems and data for troubleshooting purposes. Some of these service providers are also outside the Designated countries.

Processing related to the contract/order
Billing

For accounting, business or legal reasons, the master data and metadata of customers and suppliers of GO4YU are processed, analyzed and stored. All tax-relevant records are kept for seven years.

Accounting

We are sending the invoices to the e-mail address specified by you for exactly this purpose. Master and metadata are used for billing purposes. The master data and product/service data can be found directly on the invoice. You can also find all invoices in your customer zone on the web site “My profile”, including the listing of the usage of the services. For billing purposes, the metadata and thus also their individual records are stored until the deadline for filing a complaint or a final decision on the complaint against the consumption based bill. The invoices are stored for the statutory retention period of 7 years.

Payment

In case of payments of the prepaid invoice through our web site, the method of payment you have announced (credit card) can be used for automatic payment collection if you have chosen this option. GO4YU works with banks and credit card companies to collect payments. In this case, data is transmitted in encrypted form to the service providers. Customers who settle their prepaid account via the customer zone section of the website are handled via the service provider Payunity (Designated countries) and Authorize.net (the USA and Canada).

You may revoke your consent to the automatic payment collection at any time, for any reason whatsoever, with effect for the future, by accessing to your user account on our website (“My profile”) and turning off this function.

If you transfer the outstanding invoice amount to GO4YU yourself (a bank's order), the payment will be automatically allocated to your customer account at GO4YU using your master data, which is provided by the banks. If you buy a product in connection with a service/tariff in GO4YU shop, the information about purchased products is stored in the customer database. In this case, your customer data will also be printed on the invoice issued in the shop.

When purchasing tariff/service directly from GO4YU application, you have the option to make purchase through Apple or Google system (so called „in-app purchase“). GO4YU does not have access to the data you enter during the purchase process. We suggest you to get acquainted with Apple and Google Privacy Policy.

Claims and disputes

In claims and disputes cases, GO4YU accesses the master, meta, payment, and profile data and customer interactions stored in databases that are needed to review the claim.

If you contact the arbitration board if any, a representation of interests (eg Association for Consumer Information) or an attorney and you are brought in an objection on your behalf, GO4YU gives your personal data mentioned above to the arbitration board or interest representative or the lawyer needed to clarify the opposition case. As long as the process is legally in progress, the personal data described above will not be deleted. Afterwards, the general retention and deletion periods apply.

Termination of the contract

If you terminate your contract, your personal master data and saved customer interactions will be deleted after 3.5 years (after completion of all claims arising from the contractual relationship).

Extraordinary termination - handling of special cases

If there is an extraordinary reason for termination, for example due to guardianship or death, the necessary master and metadata but also notifications and documents are transmitted to third parties such as notaries, lawyers, or certain administrative staff if necessary.

Legal obligations regarding abuses and emergencies

You are informed and agreed that our telephony services cannot be used for making an emergency calls service (rescue, fire brigade, police, etc.), so we are not able to provide information about your master and location data to any emergency services.

You have the option of turning to GO4YU if you are being harassed by a specific caller. If it is feasible, we will apply appropriate measures to protect you and inform you about it.

Transfer to third-parties

Your data will be used exclusively to provide our service and of course, will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent. Our employees and partners, who could gain knowledge of your personal data through maintenance and service, are bound to secrecy. We do not reveal your personal data to third-parties for their independent use unless: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) the information is provided to comply with the law, disclosure to authorities according to the legal obligation, enforce an agreement we have with you, or to protect our rights, property or safety; (3) the information is provided to our agents, vendors or service providers who perform functions on our behalf; (4) to address emergencies; or (5) to address disputes, claims, or to persons demonstrating legal authority to act on your behalf. There is no sale or marketing of your data.

Transfer to third countries

Information we collect from you will be processed in Austria, USA and Serbia, depending of your residence and type of user (a visitor of the website and/or user of certain services of ours), and in line with legal regulations. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since Serbia is in the negotiation process with European Union regarding the association, it is expected to adopt the new Data Protection Law, fully harmonized with GDPR. GO4YU relies on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR.

In particular, GO4YU collects and transfers to the third countries personal data only: with your consent; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of GO4YU in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. GO4YU endeavors to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with GO4YU and the practices described in this Privacy Policy. GO4YU also minimizes the risk to your rights and freedoms by not collecting or storing sensitive information about you.
