UPDATES

This Privacy Policy may change from time to time, and we encourage you to review it periodically. Some changes do not require your consent: for example, when we add a new purpose of processing that is compatible with the existing purposes, or the new processing activity that falls under the users’ reasonable expectation. However, if the changes made may pose risk to your rights and freedoms e.g., by including a new purpose of the processing that is not compatible with the existing purposes of processing, a new legal basis, a new category of personal data to be collected or a new data subject, all of which are not reasonably expected by the users, we will ask for your consent to those changes separately from this Policy. If you did not receive a request for your consent to the changes or refused to give consent, those changes will not apply to you. That fact can negatively affect some of Garoo Services provided to you in case those services inevitably include consent to the changes.
