18. Compliance with Do Not Track Signals

My Boost Pal recognizes and respects the privacy preferences of our users, including those who choose to communicate their privacy preferences through the use of “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals or similar mechanisms provided by web browsers. This section of our Privacy Policy addresses our approach to these signals and mechanisms, ensuring that our users are fully informed about how we respond to their preferences.

Understanding Do Not Track Signals

• Do Not Track Signals: DNT is a feature offered by some web browsers which, when enabled, sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing is not tracked, for example, by third-party advertisers. However, there is currently no industry consensus as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. As a result, responses to these signals are not uniform across all websites.

My Boost Pal’s Response to Do Not Track Signals

• Current Practice: Due to the lack of a standardized interpretation of DNT signals across the industry, My Boost Pal does not alter our data collection and usage practices when we detect such signals from your browser.
• Commitment to Privacy: While we do not currently recognize or respond to browser DNT signals, we offer various ways for you to control the collection and use of your information. This includes options to opt out of certain types of data collection and use, particularly concerning behavioral advertising and analytics, as outlined in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

Alternative Ways to Control Your Privacy

• Managing Cookies: You have the ability to control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some features or areas of our site may be limited.
• Opting Out of Behavioral Advertising: We support and adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out program, which provides a mechanism for you to opt out of the behavioral advertising delivered by participating companies.

Transparency and User Control

My Boost Pal is dedicated to ensuring that you have meaningful choices about how your information is collected and used. We believe in providing clear and comprehensive options to manage your privacy preferences, even in the absence of a universally-recognized response to DNT signals.

• Privacy Settings and Tools: We encourage you to explore the privacy settings and tools available on our platform and within your browser to make informed decisions about your privacy.
• Feedback and Inquiries: Should you have any questions or feedback regarding our approach to Do Not Track signals or wish to learn more about how you can exercise your privacy choices, please contact us. We value your input and are committed to offering solutions that respect your privacy preferences.

28. Impact Assessments

At My Boost Pal, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection and privacy for our users. An essential part of our commitment involves conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for any processing activities that are likely to result in high risks to the privacy and rights of individuals. This section of our Privacy Policy outlines how we approach DPIAs in accordance with best practices and compliance requirements, particularly under regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Purpose of DPIAs

A Data Protection Impact Assessment is a process designed to help organizations systematically analyze, identify, and minimize the data protection risks of a project or plan. The primary purpose of a DPIA is to ensure that privacy risks are identified and addressed at an early stage, which not only protects data subjects but also enhances the integrity of the project by integrating necessary privacy protections.

When DPIAs are Conducted

• High-Risk Processing Activities: My Boost Pal undertakes DPIAs particularly for processing activities that involve new technologies, large-scale processing of sensitive data, or any other operations that the GDPR or other applicable privacy laws identify as likely to result in high risks to individuals’ privacy. This includes, but is not limited to, systematic monitoring, data on vulnerable individuals, and large-scale processing of special categories of data.
• Before Processing Begins: The assessment is conducted before any high-risk processing activity is initiated to ensure that all risks are assessed and mitigations are put in place proactively.

How DPIAs are Conducted

• Assessment Steps: The DPIA process at My Boost Pal involves several key steps:

• 1. Description of the Processing Operations: Clearly outlining the data processing activities, purposes, and the types of data involved.
  2. Assessment of Necessity and Proportionality: Evaluating whether each processing activity is necessary and proportionate in relation to its purpose.
  3. Risk Identification: Identifying the risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects.
  4. Risk Assessment: Assessing the severity and likelihood of each identified risk.
  5. Risk Mitigation: Determining measures to mitigate identified risks to an acceptable level.
  6. Consultation: Where appropriate, consulting with stakeholders, including data subjects or their representatives, to gain insights into potential impacts.

• Documentation: Each DPIA is thoroughly documented to ensure an audit trail of the decisions made and actions taken. This documentation is reviewed and updated as necessary, especially when changes occur that could affect the privacy risks of the processing activities.

Compliance and Continuous Improvement

• Review and Oversight: DPIAs are reviewed by our data protection officer (DPO) to ensure compliance with our internal policies and legal obligations. The DPO is also responsible for providing advice and recommendations on the DPIA process.
• Training and Awareness: Staff involved in processing activities are trained on the importance of DPIAs and on how to identify processing that may require a DPIA.

My Boost Pal is dedicated to upholding our users’ privacy through careful and systematic impact assessments of our data processing activities. DPIAs are a cornerstone of our privacy strategy, helping us to not only comply with legal requirements but also to demonstrate our commitment to data protection by design and by default. If you have any questions about our impact assessment practices or specific processing activities, please do not hesitate to contact us.

29. Data Minimization and Purpose Limitation

At My Boost Pal, we are dedicated to upholding the principles of data protection by ensuring that our data collection, usage, and retention practices adhere strictly to the principles of data minimization and purpose limitation. These principles are fundamental to our privacy strategy and are embedded into our processes to protect the privacy and rights of our users.

Data Minimization

• Necessity and Adequacy: We are committed to collecting only the personal data that is necessary for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes. We do not collect personal information that is not directly relevant or essential to accomplishing these specified purposes. This approach ensures that the personal data we hold is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed.
• Privacy by Design: Our data collection processes are designed with privacy in mind, incorporating checks and balances to ensure that only the necessary data is collected. We review our data collection forms and processes regularly to ensure that they adhere to data minimization principles.

Purpose Limitation

• Specified, Explicit Purposes: Personal data collected by My Boost Pal is processed only for purposes that are specified at the time of collection. These purposes are clearly defined in our Privacy Policy and other communication materials provided to our users.
• Limitation of Use: We ensure that data is not used in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected. If a new need arises to use the data for another purpose, we will seek the user’s consent again, unless the new use is compatible with the original purpose as per applicable laws and regulations.

Retention Limitation

• Retention Policies: We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purposes. Our data retention periods are based on business needs and legal requirements. Once the data is no longer needed for the specified purposes, it is either deleted or anonymized.
• Regular Review and Deletion: We conduct regular reviews of the data we hold to ensure it is not kept longer than necessary. This includes periodic audits of our databases and systems to identify and safely delete or anonymize unnecessary or outdated data.

Transparency and User Rights

• User Access and Control: Users have the right to access their personal data, request correction, or deletion of any incorrect or outdated data. We provide mechanisms for users to exercise these rights easily and transparently.
• Communication: We keep our users informed about the collection and use of their data through our Privacy Policy and user agreements. When significant changes are made to data processing practices, we communicate these changes effectively and obtain consent where necessary.

My Boost Pal’s commitment to data minimization and purpose limitation is integral to our mission of protecting user privacy and building trust. By adhering to these principles, we ensure that our data handling practices remain transparent, legal, and focused on providing value to our users while respecting their privacy rights. If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle data minimization and purpose limitation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
