Retention of the record of the consent and its withdrawal after withdrawal (clause 9.11) is based on clause 7: confirming that the emails were sent with consent, provided that this does not violate the rights and freedoms of the Personal Data Subject.
4.2. What is mandatory. Without an email address, a name (a pseudonym is allowed), and a password, a user account cannot be created, the Program cannot be downloaded, and an Order cannot be placed; without a device code, an activation cannot be issued; without the name and INN of an Organization, an Order cannot be placed on its behalf. A device name, automatic renewal, consent to promotional emails, a review, and a suggestion are optional: without them, the purchase, licenses, refunds, and support are available on the same terms.
4.3. The Operator does not process special categories of personal data or biometric personal data, sends promotional emails only for Purpose 9, and does not use data for purposes not named in this section. Personal data is not disseminated: a review is published with the signature “SAYRIL user,” without the name, email address, or other Personal Account information; a review containing information that could identify the author or third parties is not published; suggestions are not published.
5. Where the Operator obtains data
5.1. From the Personal Data Subject: upon registration, placing an Order, making an inquiry, sending a review or a suggestion, or making a request concerning personal data.
5.2. From the browser and other programs that access the Website (including the update program of the operating system): technical log information (Purpose 7), and from the browser also the cookies listed in the Cookie Notice.
5.3. From the payment service: the payment information needed to grant the license, for record-keeping, and for refunds (the payment number, amount, status, and payment method).
5.4. From the Program. The Program works without the internet and contacts the license server when online activation by key, releasing a device, or signing in to the user account is started in it, if this option is available in the installed version of the Program. Without such an action, the Program contacts the server only in two cases (clause 5.5 of the Agreement):
- if a license key has been passed to the installer, the Program attempts at startup to obtain an activation with that key until it receives a response from the server;
- if a Pro or SAYRIL Corporate Pro license key is saved in the Program and there is an internet connection, the Program requests the activation of the already paid next period: starting five days before the end of the current paid period and for 30 days after it ends, no more than once a day.
The Program transmits only what is necessary for the operation: the license key or the sign-in confirmation, the device codes, the activation number, and the Program version; the server also receives the network address from which the request came. Audio, text, and information about how the Program is used are not transmitted. If the composition of the transmitted information changes, the Operator will reflect this in the Policy.
The Program's DEB package for Linux adds to the operating system a source of updates on the Website (clause 5.5 of the Agreement). According to its settings, the operating system itself contacts the Website for the list of versions and downloads an update when it is being installed; the Program sends nothing in this case, and the Website receives technical log information (clause 5.2).
5.5. From the Program when a device is linked. The trial period runs in the Program itself, without contacting the server. If the user account holder links a device to the user account, the server records the linking date and the trial start time reported by the Program.
5.6. From the user account holder during activation without the internet. If the device with the Program has no internet connection, the user account holder enters the device code in the Personal Account or uploads a request file, and opens the resulting license file in the Program.
5.7. From emails to the Operator: the content of the email and its attachments.
6. Device code, license file, revocation list, automated checks
6.1. The device code (in the form SRM-…) is computed by the Program on the device from irreversible hashes of information about its hardware and operating system; this information itself is not transmitted to the Operator. In the Personal Account, the device code is linked to the user account and the license; therefore, the Operator processes it as personal data and uses it only to issue and verify licenses and activations.
6.2. The license file and the activation code contain the license number and the activation number, the device code, the rights and their validity periods, the date of issue, and the Licensee's name specified in the Personal Account, and for an Organization's license, the name of the Organization. The file is stored on the Licensee's device, and the Licensee's name is visible in the “About” window. The User has the right to specify a pseudonym instead of the name in the Personal Account. The name in an already issued code cannot be changed; at the Licensee's request, the Operator issues the activation for the same device again.
6.3. The revocation list contains only the numbers of revoked licenses and activations, without names, addresses, keys, device codes, or reasons for revocation.
6.4. Automated checks. The license server automatically performs the actions provided for by the Offer, the Agreement, and the Refund Policy: it grants a license after the payment is confirmed, counts devices, calculates dates and the refund amount using the formula of the Refund Policy, and verifies the authenticity of the Program's request, the key, and the device code. If a check fails, the server does not perform the action, and this is not deemed a refusal: upon request, the decision is made by the Operator. Decisions that produce legal consequences for the Personal Data Subject or otherwise affect the Personal Data Subject's rights and legitimate interests (refusal to activate or transfer a license, revocation of a license for breach of the Agreement, refusal of a refund) are made by the Operator personally and not on the basis of solely automated processing (Article 16 of the Law). An objection to an automated response of the server is sent to sayril-info@mail.ru stating the license number and describing what happened; it is considered by the Operator personally within the periods established for the relevant action by the Offer, the Agreement, and the Refund Policy, and in other cases no later than 30 days from the date of receipt. Consideration of the objection does not extend these periods.
7. How data is processed
7.1. The Operator performs the following actions with data: collection, recording, systematization, accumulation, storage, rectification (updating, modification), retrieval, use, transfer (provision, access) to the persons listed in section 8, blocking, deletion, destruction.
7.2. Processing is mixed: with the use of automation tools, with transmission over the internet, and without the use of automation tools.
7.3. The recording, systematization, accumulation, storage, rectification, and retrieval of personal data of citizens of the Russian Federation are carried out using databases located within the territory of the Russian Federation (part 5 of Article 18 of the Law).
8. To whom data is transferred
8.1. The Operator transfers personal data only to the extent necessary for the purpose:
- to the payment service through which payment is accepted and refunds are made: the Order and payment numbers, the amount, the name of the product, and the email address for the receipt;
- to the Federal Tax Service of Russia: settlement information as part of the receipt (Article 14 of Federal Law No. 422-FZ);
- to persons who, under a contract with the Operator, support the operation of the Website and the license server, store data, and deliver emails, to the extent necessary for this;
- to a new right holder of the Program, if the Licensor's rights and obligations under contracts with Licensees pass to it;
- to government authorities and courts in the cases provided for by law.
8.2. The Operator does not transfer personal data to foreign persons or foreign government authorities. The Operator sends emails only to the email address that the recipient has personally specified. If this address is served by an email service of a foreign person, the email is stored by that service under the recipient's contract with it; the Operator does not enter into contracts with such a service and does not transfer any other information to it.
8.3. The Operator provides the Personal Data Subject, upon request, with information about the persons to whom personal data is transferred (section 11).
9. Retention periods, user account deletion, destruction
9.1. The user account (Purpose 6) is retained until its holder deletes it. The Operator has the right to delete a user account without purchases if the 1-year period since the last sign-in to it has expired, after notifying the holder by email no later than 30 days before the deletion.
9.2. Closing the Personal Account (deletion of the user account). The user account holder can delete it in the Personal Account or by sending an email from the user account's email address. Within 30 days of confirmation of the request, the Operator destroys the email address, the name, session information, device names, the license key in the Personal Account, the review, suggestions, and the date of the first download of the installer. The information that must be retained further under clauses 9.3–9.5 is retained without information about the user account holder: the Order, payment, license, and activation numbers, the device code, the irreversible fingerprint of the license key, and for an Organization, also its INN. The consequences of closing the Personal Account for licenses are determined by the Terms of Use of the Website and Personal Account.
9.3. Licenses, devices, and activations (Purpose 5) are retained while the license is in effect and for three years after its termination: this information is needed to issue activations upon reinstallation, repair, and transfer to another device, to comply with the device limit, and to apply revocation (part 7 of Article 5 of the Law). The paid periods of Pro and SAYRIL Corporate Pro are retained in the same way, and their retention period is counted from the end of the last paid period.
