Last updated: 14th July 2021
Huddl takes your privacy very seriously. This privacy policy is
designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the
personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making
informed decisions when using our site and our products and
services. The content of Huddl-app.com, Huddl-app.co.uk and its
product sale on the Huddl App are the service offerings of Huddl, a
limited liability company registered in England and Wales with
registered company name Cheeki Chap Limited and company
number 11899957. Huddl is a Social Networking and Connecting

This Privacy Policy addresses all the requirements set out in the UK
GDPR. The GDPR has been incorporated into UK data protection law
as the UK GDPR. The data protection regime set out in Part 3 of the
DPA 2018 still apply to competent authorities processing for law
enforcement purposes. These rules derive from a EU directive but are
now set out in UK law and continue to apply (with some minor
technical changes to reflect our status outside the EU).
The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) continues to apply after
Brexit. The provisions of the EU GDPR were incorporated directly
into UK law at the end of the transition period. The GDPR aims
primarily to give control to citizens and residents over their personal
data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international
business by unifying the regulation within the EU. Please review this
Privacy Policy before you use the Website, Mobile App or any of the
services or features offered on or through the Site or through the
Mobile App. By using the Website, Mobile App and its services and

It is important that you understand your legal rights around your
personal data and how we may use it. If you would like to discuss or
exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Controller at
hello@huddl-app.com.
Right to be informed
This Privacy Policy aims to inform you about how we process your
personal data. You might also see specific messages when we collect
personal data from you that explain why we ask for it.
Right of access
You have the right to access a copy of your personal data and receive
certain information about what the data is and how and why we are
processing it. We will ask you to prove your identity before we can
disclose any information.
Right to rectification
You have the right to request a correction to your data if you believe
that any information we hold is incorrect.
Right to erasure
You have the right to request that we delete your data.
There are some circumstances where we may need to keep your
details, for example, if we are legally obliged to do so. If this is the
case, we will explain and discuss these circumstances with you.
Right to restrict processing
You can request that we restrict processing of your data, as an
alternative to deleting it – this means that we will keep the data but
stop processing for most purposes. You may want to exercise this
right if you feel that the data is inaccurate, that our processing of it is
unlawful, whilst we progress a request from you to object to
processing, or if we have no further need of the data, but you require
us to keep it in relation to the establishment, exercise or defence of a
legal claim.
Right to data portability
You have the right to request a copy of your data, in readable form,
and have us transfer it to another organization. There are some
circumstances where these rights may not apply, but where this is
the case we will always explain this to you.
Right to object
You have the right to object to the processing of your data.
Rights related to automated decision making
You have the right to avoid being subject to decisions based solely on
automated processing (including profiling) which has a significant
effect on you. We do not carry out any such processing. - Data Retention
We keep records of your communications with us for six years in
case we have to refer to a conversation or enquiry. This could be
because it relates to our legitimate business interests, you are still in
communication with us, or for legal reasons.
We keep your contact information on any mailing lists you chose to
join unless you tell us otherwise. If you haven’t opened one of our
emails for some time, we may contact you to ask if you still want to
hear from us. If you unsubscribe from a mailing list, we retain some
basic information to ensure we don’t contact you again in the future. - Third-Party Websites and Links
