2.2.2. For what purposes do we process your personal data?

Our mission is to help businesses grow and connect with other businesses that would be the potential fit for each other.

This purpose which is close to our core business constitutes our so-called legitimate interest as referred to in Art.6.1.f of the GDPR which is legal grounds for the processing of your personal data.

The information we may have about you will be stored as long as we offer our product and run business unless we decide to delete your data or you object to it earlier – whichever comes first. Please note that if you decide on the latter we may need to keep information about your request for our record for the possible need to address claims, as well as to identify returning requests and avoid adding your personal data to our systems again, which, again, constitutes our legitimate interest as the legal ground for such processing identified in Art.6.1.f of the GDPR.

The controller of your personal data is Growbots Inc.,1015 Fillmore St. PMB 18339, San Francisco, CA 94115, United States.
