12. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS? #
In Short: In some regions in Europe but also in the Republic of Kosovo you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.
According to the Law No. 06/L –082 on Protection of Personal Data, you have certain rights. These may include:
- the right to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information,
- the right to request rectification or erasure (right to be forgotten);
- the right to restrict the processing of your personal information;
- if applicable, the right to data portability; and
- the right not to be subject to automated decision-making.
If you have any questions, complaints, or suggestions regarding this Privacy Policy, or your right to privacy and protection of your personal data, you can contact us directly at [email protected].
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If you are located in the Republic of Kosovo and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain at the Information and Privacy Agency.
The right to be forgotten: You have the right to ask Gjirafa for the right “to be forgotten”, which involves the deletion of your personal data. In such cases, Gjirafa will take action to complete your request within optimal deadlines. However, keep in mind that such requests will be completed by Gjirafa in compliance with legal conditions, and only when Gjirafa is assured that it does not have any legal and/or contractual obligation to continue to store your data. Please keep in mind that your request to be forgotten is not always automatically granted, and that Gjirafa will act in accordance with your request to delete your personal data only when it does not have further obligations to store such data.
Withdrawing your consent: When You are logged into your account with Gjirafa, You can manage the privacy configurations and SSO functions of your account at any time. If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS POLICY?" below or updating your preferences.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent. In addition, please be aware that if You revoke your consent for the processing of your data, You may not have access to all of Gjirafa’s Services, and we may not be able to provide You with all the Services and support that are provided to other users.
Opting out of marketing and promotional communications: You can unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send, or by contacting us using the details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS POLICY?" below. You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you — for example, to send you service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.

13. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES #
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
