The Data We Gather


Although such activities may still be recorded, we do not require you to give us your personal information in order to access general information on the Sites. Nonetheless, we do obtain and gather your personal information in the ways mentioned below. In order to provide you with the Service, to protect our legitimate interests in evaluating the effectiveness of our campaigns and Service, to enable us to fulfill our legal obligations, and to ensure the proper facilitation and performance of the contract between you and us, we receive and collect this data.

QR Code Content: In order to support the efficient operation, delivery, and administration of the generated QR code, if you decide to create one using Hanhsi.com, we will gather and save on our server the data you enter into the code. In order for certain QR Code data types—like the vCard, meCard, Digital Business Card, Phone Number, SMS, and Email—to be encoded into the QR code, you must provide personally identifiable information, which will also be saved on our server.

Registered Users: If you decide to become a paid subscriber of Hanhsi.com, we will ask you to supply contact information and personally identifiable information that is sufficient to recognize you as the authorized account holder, meet PayPal's (our payment service provider) identity requirements, and enable the efficient operation of the services provided to you as a subscriber.

Email Information: Should you decide to communicate with us through email, we may keep your email address, the content of your messages, and our answers to you. We may send you emails with information we believe you might find helpful (like technical service updates and reminders for subscription renewals), but you will always have the choice to opt out if the email has nothing to do with your particular account (like new features or promotion discounts).

Automatically Collected Data: We monitor and assess website traffic and accessibility using Google Analytics. Since Google is a separate third party, we have no control over how they might use the data about user and visitor activity that we collect using the Google Analytics service.

Legal Obligation: In order to meet our legal obligations, we process your data.

Vital Interests: Processing is required to safeguard your or another person's vital interests.

Public Interest: Tasks performed in the public interest or in the exercise of our official authority require processing.

Legitimate Interests: Unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms conflict with such interests, processing is required for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party.

Information revealing a person's race or ethnic origin, political views, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic information, biometric information, health information, or information about their sexual orientation or sex life are examples of special categories of data.

The Right to Deletion, Access, and Correction

We respect your right to privacy and give you reasonable access to any personal information you may have given us while using our services. As stated in the "Questions and Feedback" section (below), you can get in touch with us if you would like to view or change any personal information we may have about you, or if you would like us to remove or transfer any information we may have about you. At your request, we will remove from our database any references to you that are not necessary for your subscriber account to function.

You can access the "My Account" section of your paid subscriber account dashboard at any time to update or modify your account details and preferences. Although any modifications you make will be immediately reflected in our active user database, or within a reasonable amount of time, we may keep all of the information you provide for backups, archiving, fraud and abuse prevention, analytics, meeting our legal and data protection requirements, or any other reason we reasonably believe we have.

Please be aware that we might not be able to offer certain service features and website functionality if you choose not to provide us with certain personal information.

Unless the applicable law requires otherwise, you may reasonably object to the processing or storage of your personal data at any time. Please email us at info@Hanhsi.com if you think your right to privacy, which is guaranteed by applicable data protection laws, has been violated.

Intentionally encoding personal information into a QR Code is exempt from this rule. The person who created the QR code is in charge of managing the privacy of its contents. Any request to view, update, or remove personal information contained in a QR code should be directed to the person who generated the code.

  • Under specific circumstances, you have the right to request the prompt erasure of your personal data, including:
  • The personal information is no longer required for the reasons it was gathered or processed in any other way.
  • There is no other legitimate basis for processing, and you revoke the consent that underpins it.
  • There are no compelling legal reasons for processing, and you object to it.
  • There has been illegal processing of the personal data.
  • The deletion of the personal information is required by law.

A child's offer of information society services is the reason for the collection of personal data.

We will take reasonable measures, taking into account the cost of implementation and the state of technology, to notify other controllers processing the data of your erasure request if we have made your personal data public and are required to remove it.

Please use this form to request erasure.

The right to limit processing and object


Depending on the situation, you can ask to have the processing of your personal data restricted. These include circumstances in which you dispute the accuracy of your data, giving us time to confirm it; when processing is illegal and you would rather have it restricted rather than erased; when we no longer need your data but you need it for legal purposes; or when you have objected to processing while we verify our valid reasons. Only with your consent, for legal claims, to defend the rights of others, or for significant public interest purposes will your data be processed during the restriction. Before removing any restrictions, we will let you know.

You can always object to the processing of your personal data based on our legitimate interests or the completion of a task in the public interest, including profiling based on those provisions, on the basis of your unique circumstances. We will stop processing your personal information unless we can show that there are strong, justifiable reasons for it that outweigh your rights, interests, and liberties, or unless it's necessary to establish, pursue, or defend legal claims.

Data Security


We have implemented suitable physical, electronic, technical, and management procedures and protocols to protect our servers from unwanted access and to preserve the accuracy and integrity of the data and information so stored in order to protect the information we gather about you.

The laws governing the storage, protection, and transfer of personal information in the United Kingdom and the European Union generally may be more or less strict than comparable laws in your country.

  • Sufficient, pertinent, and restricted to what is required.
