API Walker Privacy Policy

General Data Privacy and Security

API Walker (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal data entrusted to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you interact with our services. We adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

Privacy Policies and Compliance

API Walker has implemented privacy policies and procedures to comply with data protection regulations, ensuring the privacy and security of client and user data. We take all commercially reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access, use, acquisition, and threats to information security.

Responsibility for Data Processing

Both API Walker and our clients are independently responsible for the processing of personal data within their respective activities. Each party commits to compliance with GDPR and relevant privacy laws. When API Walker processes personal data on behalf of a client, we ensure that processing is limited to purposes directly related to the implementation of our agreement with the client.

GDPR Processing of Personal Data

If API Walker collects and processes personal data from individuals during the course of providing services, we commit to:

  • Using the personal data solely for the purposes necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

  • Ensuring that personal data is only accessible to API Walker and, when required, technical service providers and partners engaged exclusively for the performance of our services. We require that all third parties involved adhere to confidentiality obligations that are as stringent as those outlined in this Privacy Policy and our agreements.

Data Collection and Use

Personal data collected may include:

  • Contact Information: Name, email, phone number, company name, and position.

  • Technical Information: IP address, device details, and browser type.

  • Usage Data: Pages visited, duration, and interaction details.

This data is used exclusively for fulfilling our service agreements, improving user experience, and complying with legal requirements. We ensure that data is processed only for these specified purposes.

Data Sharing and Confidentiality

API Walker may share data with trusted service providers who assist in service delivery. These third parties are required to maintain confidentiality under contracts that reflect our Privacy Policy’s strict standards. We do not share data with unauthorized third parties.

In line with contractual agreements, personal data is only accessible to API Walker and approved technical service providers and partners essential to the performance of the services. We take responsibility to ensure that these third parties uphold contractual confidentiality obligations.

Data Retention and Disposal

API Walker retains personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. Upon contract termination or at the client’s request, we will return or delete all personal data within 14 days. A final certification of data destruction is provided within 30 days to ensure compliance with GDPR and client agreements.

International Data Transfers

For EU residents, data transfers outside the European Union are conducted only with countries that meet GDPR adequacy standards or through appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure the security of personal data. In the absence of such standards, API Walker will ensure compliance with all applicable laws to maintain confidentiality and security of transferred personal data.

Data Hosting within the EU

Personal data will be hosted within the European Union by a service provider bound by the security and confidentiality obligations stipulated by law. If any data is transferred outside the EU, API Walker will ensure this transfer is compliant with GDPR through legally appropriate measures.

Rights of Data Subjects (EU Residents)

EU residents have the following rights regarding their personal data:

  • Access: Request access to personal data held about them.

  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data.

  • Deletion: Request deletion of data.

  • Restriction and Objection: Restrict or object to data processing.

  • Data Portability: Request a copy of their data in a portable format.

  • Consent Withdrawal: Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

API Walker provides mechanisms for data subjects to exercise these rights and ensures that clients are informed of the procedures available for individuals to control their personal data.
