3. How we process personal data from publicly available information?
When providing our AI and analytics solutions services, we process not only the personal data of the individual who ordered a report about themselves and/or another third party, but also the personal data of the searched person, and only those personal data which is available in public information sources (e.g., from public sources such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google, media outlets, other social media networks, websites, etc.).
Considering that when providing our AI and analytics solutions services, we only directly obtain personal data from the individual who ordered the report, i.e., we do not have direct contact details of the third party (searched person) that would allow us to contact and inform the searched person about the processing of their personal data. As a result, such information proves to be impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort, and therefore, in compliance with Article 14(5)(a-b), the privacy notice is publicly disclosed here. In cases where special categories of personal data are processed, it only includes those personal data which are manifestly made public by the data subject as provided for in Article 9(2)(e) of the GDPR.
The processing of personal data from publicly available sources is both legal and appropriate. This is supported by Recital 4 of the GDPR, Article 16 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and Article 48 of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania, along with other relevant laws. It aligns with the freedom to conduct business and complies with GDPR requirements. For this purpose, WhiteBridge ai, as a legal entity developing business and conducting its activities, can process publicly available personal information about the searched person (regardless of whether the individual ordered a report about themselves and/or a third party).
4. Who do we share information about you with?
We share information concerning you with our staff, intermediaries, representatives, suppliers, or subcontractors when it's deemed necessary. For instance, this could be with our payment service providers who manage financial operations on WhiteBridge.ai, hosting service providers for WhiteBridge.ai, server maintenance service providers, email service providers, and so forth.
Moreover, we might disclose information about you to:
- Courts, arbitrators, mediators, opposing parties, and their legal counsels (if necessary for court or related proceedings).
- Law enforcement, tax authorities, other state or municipal bodies (if required by applicable laws), or other persons fulfilling their official obligations (e.g., notaries, debt recovery companies).
- Professional consultants such as lawyers, advisors, auditors, or accountants (to safeguard our legitimate interests).
- Service providers offering IT, cloud computing, system administration, payment collection or administration, marketing, accounting, postal or courier services, but only as required for service provision.
- Other entities within our corporate group, only if needed for proper company group administration.
- During business transactions (e.g., selling WhiteBridge.ai, its assets or shares, merging or splitting WhiteBridge.ai), to potential or actual buyers, those conducting due diligence, or others involved in the respective business transaction. In such instances, WhiteBridge.ai will only transfer the necessary personal data, ensuring its confidentiality.
Whenever we transfer your personal data to a third country (outside the EU/EEA), one of the following conditions will apply:
- The data will be transferred to countries approved as having adequate data protection.
- Data transfers will employ appropriate safeguards as outlined in legal regulations.
WhiteBridge.ai will always strive to ensure data transfers align with GDPR stipulations, taking suitable measures to safeguard your personal data.
5. How we protect your personal data?
We will treat your data with the utmost care and take all appropriate steps to protect it. We secure access to our websites and apps using 'https' technology. Access to your personal data will be protected by using various means such as password protection, SSL encryption, etc.
Your personal data will be processed in line with the GDPR standards, the Law on Legal Protection of Personal Data of the Republic of Lithuania, and other relevant legal provisions. During the data processing, we employ both legal, organisational and technical strategies to ensure the safeguarding of personal data from inadvertent or illegal destruction, modification, disclosure, and any other unauthorised processing.
We regularly monitor our systems to identify ways to further strengthen security measures.

- Right to Withdraw Consent: At any given point, should you choose to retract the permission you previously granted us to process your personal data, you have the absolute right to do so. However, it's important to note that any processing activities we undertook with your data before this withdrawal will remain lawful.
