PART C: Consent contract Terms

15. Making a consent contract

15.1 We will only receive your User Data under a Consent Contract made via the App. Once you have installed the App and the digi.me App you can receive Consent Requests from us.

15.2 The display to you of a Consent Request constitutes an offer from us to you to access your User Data on the basis outlined in the Consent Request. You accept a Consent Request only when you explicitly give your consent within the APP. Please take the time to read the Consent Request before giving that consent. Your obligation to provide Released Data only arises upon acceptance by you of the Consent Request to form a Consent Contract.

15.3 If you accept a Consent Request by explicitly giving consent within the App your acceptance is sent to digi.me who will issue you with a Consent Receipt. At the point digi.me transmits the Consent Receipt to you, a Consent Contract is made between you and us. When a Consent Contract is made between you and us the digi.me App will send a request to your User Storage to release the Released Data to us directly. Digi.me will never see your User Data.

16. Released data

16.1 We will not attempt to collect, use, process or transmit any User Data in excess of the Released Data.

16.2 We will use Released Data strictly in accordance with the Consent Contract including:

(a) complying with any Forget Me Instruction;
(b) only using the Released Data for the Purposes recorded in the Data Purposes field of the Consent Contract;
(c) we will only share Released Data to the third parties as identified, and for the purposes identified, in the Shared Data field of the Consent Contract; and
(d) we will only keep the Retained Data (and not any other Released Data) as recorded in the Retained Data field of the Consent Contract, and then only for the period of time recorded in the Retained Period field of the Consent Contract; and we will get anyone we share the Shared Data with to agree to the same.

17. User benefit

17.1 If the Consent Contract contains a User Benefit, we will deliver the User Benefit to you as soon as possible following release of the Released Data.

17.2 If the User Benefit we are providing involves the delivery of content to User Storage, we may request and insist where possible that all such content is lawful, including: 

(a) not delivering or making available any unlawful, harassing, libellous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise objectionable material; and
(b) not delivering or making available electronic copies of materials protected by copyright without the permission of the owner. 

17.3 We will ensure that all User Benefits comply with all applicable laws.

18. Editing

If a Consent Contract allows us to edit any User Data or User Storage, we will be transparent about what we are asking for in our Consent Request and that the edits we make will match those disclosed in the Consent Contract.

19. Ending consent contracts

19.1 You can stop an Ongoing Consent Contract at any time by switching it off using the Dashboard.

19.2 If you switch an Ongoing Consent Contact off, you agree that this may affect any corresponding User Benefit you are receiving.

19.3 Ongoing Consent Contracts will terminate if digi.me ceases to make the digi.me App available.

19.4 Each Consent Contract shall automatically end upon completion of delivery of all Released Data and the User Benefit associated with it. You can see a list of all your ongoing and historical Consent Contracts (including their Consent Receipts) at any time by using the Dashboard.

20. Forget me function

20.1 We may use the digi.me Forget Me Function in Consent Contracts. Even if we don’t, you may still benefit independently from a Right To Be Forgotten under your local laws. If this is the case, please see our Privacy Policy for how to contact us and exercise your Right To Be Forgotten.

20.2 For each Consent Contract where the Forget Me Function is switched on, the Forget Me Function allows you to send us a Forget Me Instruction. When you send a Forget Me Instruction this is sent from the digi.me App directly to us.

20.3 Each time we receive a Forget Me Instruction we shall promptly erase the Retained Data for that Consent Contract and confirm to you when this has been done. We shall also instruct any third parties with whom we have shared any Retained Data to do the same and confirm this to us.

20.4 Even if you issue a Forget Me Instruction, there may be some data which we need to keep, for example, because the law requires us to. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.

20.5 You will still be able to use the Forget Me Function even after the Consent Contract has ended. You can do this by going to the Consent Contract in the Dashboard where the Forget Me Function will still be available. Please see our Privacy Policy, should you need more information on this.
