Consent for website forms

How you give this consent

I freely agree that Limited Liability Company TICHAT (LLC TICHAT / ООО «ТИЧАТ») may process the personal data I type into the form, on the terms of this page (this consent, version consent-en-1.0).

This consent is specific, informed, and unambiguous. It stands on its own. It is not mixed into the Terms of Service and it is not assumed because I opened the site or read the Privacy Policy.

I am identified by what I type: name, email, phone number, and the other fields on that form. These forms do not ask for a passport or other identity document.

This consent covers only:

• the early-access waitlist;
• the contact form for investors and partners.

It applies to those forms on tichat.co. The same version identifier is used if the matching English form is shown elsewhere. Registering for the messenger, and using it, are covered by the Privacy Policy and the Terms (including the contract to provide the Service), not by this consent.

Who receives it

The controller asking for this consent is:

The data is processed and stored in the Russian Federation. If I am in the EEA or the United Kingdom, I explicitly agree to that transfer (GDPR Article 49(1)(a)). I can withdraw that agreement as described in section 8. Russia does not have a European Commission adequacy decision. How the data is protected is described in the Privacy Policy.

What it is for

I agree to processing only for these purposes:

What data it covers

4.1. Early-access form

• name, as I type it;
• email address;
• phone number;
• technical facts about the submission: date and time, consent version, and, where security logs capture them, IP address and user agent.

4.2. Investor and partner form

• name;
• company or fund;
• role;
• email address;
• phone number;
• the message, if I write one;
• the same technical facts as in section 4.1.

These forms do not ask for special-category data (such as health, political opinions, or ethnicity) and they do not ask for biometric data. Please do not put that kind of information in the message.

What we do with it

I agree that LLC TICHAT may collect this data, store it, use it to handle the request, update it if I send a correction, and delete it. Staff may read the request in order to reply. Transmission uses HTTPS / TLS.

We keep form requests for about 3 years from the day we receive them, or until I withdraw this consent or ask for deletion, whichever comes first, unless the law requires a longer period. Security and storage measures are in the Privacy Policy.

Who else sees it

We do not sell this data.

Under this consent, access is limited to:

• An email provider, only to deliver a message to me (the email address and the contents of that message), acting on our instructions;
• A competent authority, when the law requires it and only to the extent it requires;
• A processor under contract, bound to protect the data and to use it only on our instructions.

The categories of recipients are also listed in section 7 of the Privacy Policy.

How long it lasts

This consent starts when I tick the box and submit the form, and it ends when the first of these happens:

• I withdraw it;
• the purpose has been met;
• the retention period in the Privacy Policy, or a period the law requires, runs out;
• the data is deleted on a lawful ground.

Withdrawing it

I can withdraw this consent at any time by emailing the controller:

• to info@tichat.ru;
• subject: Withdrawal of consent;
• in the message: my name, the email and/or phone number on the form, and a statement that I withdraw consent.

After withdrawal we stop using the form data and delete it, unless another legal ground requires us to keep it (for example a legal duty to retain a record). Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before it. We reply within 30 days.

Your rights

Where the GDPR or the UK GDPR applies, you can ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction, and portability, and you can object where the law allows. You can withdraw this consent. How to do that is in section 8 of the Privacy Policy.

You can complain to a supervisory authority in your EEA country, to the UK ICO (ico.org.uk) if you are in the UK, or to Roskomnadzor (rkn.gov.ru).

Closing points

The current text is always at tichat.co/consent. Forms on this site use the identifier consent-en-1.0.

The Privacy Policy also applies. If this consent and the Privacy Policy disagree about what I agreed to for these forms, this consent wins. For everything else, the Privacy Policy applies.

By ticking the box and submitting the form, I confirm that:

• I have read this consent and the Privacy Policy;
• the details are mine, or I am allowed to provide them;
• I am at least 14, and if I am 14 to 17 a parent or guardian knows I am submitting the form;
• where the GDPR sets a higher age for consent to an information-society service, I am at least that age, or a holder of parental responsibility has agreed.
