Some Terms
Before we get started with the details, here are a few terms we think you should know as you read this Policy.
“Data Protection Laws” refers to the laws that are designed to protect your personal data and privacy in the place where you live. This includes the “GDPR”, the European data protection law which stands for “General Data Protection Regulation”, with the official name Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council. It also includes “PIPEDA” (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), which is the Canadian Data Protection Law that applies to our activities in Canada, as Yente Over the Rainbow is a Canadian business.
“Personal data” – this is information we collect from you or about you and which is defined in the GDPR as “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.” It can be as simple as your name or your email, or something more complicated like an online identifier (usually a string of letters and / or numbers) that gets attached to you. Under PIPEDA, the equivalent concept is “personal information”, which is roughly the same. Any mention of “personal data” in this Policy shall also mean personal information.
About Us and Contacting Us
Yente Over the Rainbow is the business owned and operated by 10359831 Canada Inc. Where this Policy refers to “Yente Over the Rainbow”, it may refer to 10359831 Canada Inc. and / or its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, principals, representatives, successors and assigns, depending on the context.
Under
the GDPR, Yente Over the Rainbow is a “Data Controller”. That
means we collect personal data directly from you and determine the
purpose and means of “processing” that data. “Processing” is
a broad term that means collection, use, storage, transfer or any
other action related to your personal data; it is used in this Policy
in that way.

How We Protect Your Personal Data
We have implemented very strict technical and organisational procedures for ensuring that, by default, only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed by us. These procedures prevent your personal data from being lost; or used or accessed in any unauthorised way.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable supervisory authority of a suspected data security breach where the Data Protection Laws requires us to do so, and within the time frame required by the applicable Data Protection Law.
Yente Over the Rainbow uses only industry best practices (physical, electronic and procedural) in keeping any data collected (including personal data) secure. In addition, we use third-party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to operate the Website, and these third parties have been selected for their high standards of security, both electronic and physical. For example, Yente Over the Rainbow uses DigitalOcean, a recognized leader in secure data, for hosting of the Website, and storage of user data including personal data.
Finally, all information, including personal data, is transferred with encryption using Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”), a robust security standard for Internet data transfer and transactions. You can use your browser to check Yente Over the Rainbow’s valid SSL security certificate.
Transfer of Your Personal Data Outside of the European Economic Area (EEA)
For our European users, we endeavour to keep your personal data inside the EEA. However, certain of our data processors are in countries outside the EEA where your personal data may be transferred. These countries, however, are limited to countries with particular circumstances that protect your data, specifically:
Canada. Canada has been determined to have an “adequate level of protection” for your personal data under European data protection law.
The United States. Your personal data is only transferred to companies in the United States that: (1) participate in the Privacy Shield; and (2) have signed agreements with us or have informed us that they are GDPR-compliant.
That’s it! You have the right, however, to refuse to have your data transferred outside the EEA. Please contact our Data Protection and Privacy Officer to make that request.
Supervisory Authorities and Complaints
If you are in the EEA, under the GDPR you have the right to make a complaint to the appropriate supervisory authority. If you are not satisfied with the response received or the actions taken by our Data Protection and Privacy Officer, or if you would like to make a complaint directly about Yente Over the Rainbow’s data practises, we invite you to contact the supervisory authority in your country. If you are in the U.K. for example, you should contact the Information Commissioner’s Office who is the supervisory authority. You can reach them in a variety of ways, including by phone (0303 123 1113 in the UK) and mail (Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF).
The full listing of all Data Protection Authorities (the supervisory authorities) across the EEA and their contact information can be found here.
If you are in Canada and you are not satisfied with the response received or the actions taken by our Data Protection and Privacy Officer, you can make a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Instructions to do so can be found on their website.
Data Retention
Your personal data will only be kept for as long as it is necessary for the purpose needed for that processing. For example, we will retain your account information for as long as you have an account with us.
Sometimes we have to keep your data for a longer period of time to satisfy our requirements under the law, so we may retain your personal data for a longer time based on this factor.
Automated Decision-Making
Yente Over the Rainbow uses certain automated decision-making processes, taking some of your personal data to find you the best matches.
