By entering a promotion, you agree to the official rules that govern that promotion, and may, except where prohibited by applicable law, allow the sponsor and/or other entities to use your name, voice, and/or likeness in advertising or marketing materials.

It is our policy to provide notice to Users before producing their information in response to law enforcement requests unless (i) we are prohibited or otherwise constrained by law or court order from doing so, (ii) we have reason to believe the User’s account has been compromised such that the notice would go to the wrong person, or notice would otherwise be counterproductive or would create a risk to safety, or (iii) it is an emergency request and prior notice would be impractical (in which case we may provide notice after the fact).

Accountability for onward transfers. The Privacy Shield Principles describe Buchung’s responsibility for Personal Information that it receives from EU residents under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party processor. In particular, if Third Party Agents that process Personal Information on Buchung’s behalf do so in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, Buchung will remain responsible and liable unless it can prove that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

Right of access. You have a legal right to request a copy of the Personal Information that we have about you. You also have a right to correct, amend or delete such Personal Information where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the Privacy Shield Principles.

Resolution of disputes and complaint mechanism. In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, Buchung commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your Personal Information. If European Union citizens have any queries related to the processing of your Personal Information under the Privacy Shield framework, we encourage you to contact us directly in the first instance at: privacy@Buchung.com.

Binding arbitration. As further explained in the Privacy Shield Principles, a binding arbitration option will also be made available to you in order to address residual complaints regarding Buchung’s Privacy Shield certification not resolved by any other means.

Enforcement. Buchung is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Disclosure of EU personal data to public authorities and law enforcement agencies. Buchung may be required to share your Personal Information in response to lawful requests by public authorities.
