However, StormWave Technologies is committed to ensuring an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred outside the European Union, in accordance with the standards established by the GDPR. If personal data is transferred to a third country or an international organization, appropriate measures will be taken to ensure that personal data is processed with an adequate level of protection, in accordance with Arts. 44-50 of the GDPR.

1.5 Data Protection Officer (DPO)

We reserve the right to record any communication, whether electronic, telephonic, in person or otherwise, that we may have with our customers.

  • Providing and managing the services requested by the user.
  • Fulfilling contractual and legal obligations.
  • Personalizing and improving the user experience.

  • Preventing fraud and illicit activities.
  • Conducting statistical analyses and monitoring the use of the site and services.

2.9 Data Retention

Personal data will be retained for the time necessary to satisfy the purposes for which it was collected, in compliance with the principles of storage limitation and data minimization established by Art. 5, paragraph 1, letters e) and c) of the GDPR.

3. Integration with Telegram API

3.1 Data Collection via Telegram API

In the context of using Telegram bots developed by StormWave Technologies, data provided by users in private chats with the bot is collected through the Telegram API. The data collected includes:

  • User ID;
  • Username;
  • First and last name (if provided);
  • Application language;
  • Messages interacting with the chatbot.

3.2 Limitations of Data Collection

No geolocation data, IP addresses, phone numbers, or emails are collected. Data collection is strictly limited to public data as specified in point 3.1 of Telegram's privacy policy (https://telegram.org/privacy/eu). This approach complies with the data minimization principles provided for by Art. 5, paragraph 1, letter c) of EU Regulation 2016/679 ("GDPR").

3.3 Data Management and Processing

The processing of data collected through Telegram bots is managed exclusively by StormWave Technologies and is not delegated to third parties. The personal data collected is used solely for the proper functioning of the produced bots, to authenticate and identify users, to send messages in the bot chat, and to provide updates on the bot and StormWave products. This processing is based on the legitimate interest of the data controller, in accordance with Art. 6, paragraph 1, letter f) of the GDPR.

3.4 Request for Membership to Specific Telegram Channels

To ensure an optimal user experience and in compliance with the purposes of the bot, the bot may require, for its use, membership to a specific Telegram channel. This requirement is implemented to verify the authenticity of users and to provide a personalized and secure service.

3.5 Data Retention

Data collected through Telegram bots is retained for the time strictly necessary to satisfy the purposes for which it was collected, in compliance with the principles of storage limitation established by Art. 5, paragraph 1, letter e) of the GDPR. Once the processing purposes have been achieved, the data will be deleted or anonymized, unless its retention is required to fulfill legal obligations.

3.6 User Rights

Users have the right to access their personal data, request its rectification or deletion, object to processing, and exercise the other rights provided for by Arts. 15-22 of the GDPR. Requests can be submitted to the Data Protection Officer (DPO) at the contact details specified in this Privacy Policy.

3.7 Moving Customers to StormWave Telegram Groups or Channels

To improve communication between the provider and the customer, StormWave Technologies reserves the right to move customers within Telegram groups or channels belonging to StormWave using the user's chat ID. This process is aimed at facilitating the dissemination of important information, updates on products and services, as well as providing more efficient and personalized customer support. Users will be informed of such movements and can always choose to leave the groups or channels in which they have been added. This data processing is carried out in compliance with current regulations and based on the legitimate interest of the data controller, as provided for by Art. 6, paragraph 1, letter f) of the GDPR.

3.8 Data Processing with Hash (and Salt if deemed necessary)

In the context of using the Telegram bots developed by StormWave Technologies, we adopt advanced hashing (and salting if deemed necessary) techniques to ensure the protection of users' personal data. These techniques are implemented to maintain an "anonymous memory" of the data, both for security reasons and for fraud prevention, especially for those users who access the chatbot and reject the terms of this document. The adoption of such techniques is crucial to prevent the abuse of technologies and free credits offered. Hashing converts personal data, such as the Telegram user ID, into a unique string of characters using secure cryptographic algorithms. Salting adds an additional level of security, combining the data with a unique value before hashing, ensuring that even identical data generate different hashes. These procedures ensure that anonymous data cannot be easily traced back to users without additional information, thus protecting the privacy and security of users in compliance with current regulations.

3.9 Data Collection for Purchased Digital Products

In the context of purchasing digital products through Telegram bots developed by StormWave Technologies, personal data such as email may be collected for marketing and communication purposes. This collection is essential for sending product updates, promotional offers, and other relevant communications to users. The collection and processing of such data takes place in compliance with current personal data protection regulations, particularly in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"). According to Art. 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of the GDPR, processing is lawful when it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject. By purchasing a digital product through Telegram bots and providing their personal data, the user automatically accepts this Privacy Policy, data processing, and StormWave Technologies' terms and conditions. This implies that the user consents to the use of their data for marketing and communications related to the purchased products. StormWave Technologies considers the legitimate interest of maintaining effective and personalized communication with its customers as the legal basis for processing the collected data, in accordance with Art. 6, paragraph 1, letter f) of the GDPR. Users have the right to withdraw their consent at any time, without prejudice to the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. They can also exercise the other rights provided for by Arts. 15-22 of the GDPR, such as the right of access, rectification, erasure, and objection to data processing, by contacting the Data Protection Officer (DPO) at the contact details specified in this Privacy Policy.
