Lawful Bases
The lawful basis for our processing activities include processing personal information as necessary to comply with our contractual obligations to provide the Service, compliance with our legal obligations, protecting the safety of our employees, and other users, for our legitimate business interests, compliance with legal obligations, and pursuant to your consent. The particular legal basis for the processing of your personal information is based on the purpose for which such information was provided or collected.
Performance of Contract: We use your personal information as necessary for the performance of contracts, to provide the Service, or in order for us to take steps, at your request, prior to entering into a contract, such as requesting information regarding your company and its needs and requirements. For example, we are not able to provide our Service unless you provide us with certain necessary personal information, such as identity information and contact information to set up and communicate with you about your account, and payment information in order to process payments for the Service. This collection and processing of the personal information is based on Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.

Please note that if we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time, but such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the withdrawal.

- Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that InCountry limit the processing of your personal information:
- while we are evaluating or in the process of responding to a request by you to update or correct your personal information;
- where such processing is unlawful, and you do not want your personal information to be deleted;
- where we no longer require such data, but you want us to retain the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal claim; and
- where you have submitted an objection to processing based on our legitimate business interests, pending our response to such request.
- Data Portability Requests: You have the right to request that we provide you or a third party that you designate with certain of your personal information in a commonly used, machine readable format.
