Legal Basis for Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Data

Gravel Host collects and processes the above-described Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Data consistent with the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, and the UK GDPR. Gravel Host collects this data to comply with its contractual obligations, to perform the Services, to communicate with you, and to administer its Services and business. Gravel Host’s lawful ground for processing this Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Data is the following:

Your consent, when you voluntarily submit Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Data to Gravel Host;

Access, Protection, and Retention of Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Data

If you have registered an account with Gravel Host and are a citizen of the European Union, Gravel Host provides you with account settings that let you modify, correct, or delete the personal data that you have provided to us that is associated with your account. You may access these accounts settings at https://www.gravelhost.com/. Whether you are located in the European Union or elsewhere, to stop our collection and use of your personal data, you need only to delete your account.

If you have not registered an account with Gravel Host, we only collect technical data from you. To stop our collection and use of your technical data, you need only cease using our Services.

Gravel Host is located in the United States and we may transfer your Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Data to countries outside of the European Union. Many of our third-party service providers are located within the United States and their processing of Personally Identifiable Information and Personal Data will involve a transfer of data outside of the European Union. Whenever personal data is transferred outside of the European Union, Gravel Host does its best to ensure a similar degree of security and data privacy by requiring that its service providers and its foreign parents or subsidiaries adopt standard contractual clauses covering the transfer of this data.

Additionally, Gravel Host takes measures that supplement transfer tools, such as standard contractual clauses, to ensure compliance with the level of protection of personal data in the European Union. For example, when Gravel Host receives an expedited circumstances request, a subpoena, a warrant, or a court order to disclose personal data from law enforcement or regulators in the United States, Gravel Host carefully validates these requests, including by reviewing the legality of such request, subpoena, warrant, or court order and challenging them if there are grounds under the law to do so before any personal data is disclosed.
