APP PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy notice is issued by GAWAPP, a brand of THE SYLLA GROUP FZ LLE company (all references to “GAWAPP”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this notice refer to GAWAPP).
The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the data relating to you that we collect and use in connection with our app and the uses (including disclosures to third parties) we make of such data.
We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any retailers who avail of the GAWAPP app. As we set out below in the “Recipients of Data” section, when you participate in a particular retailer’s loyalty scheme through the GAWAPP app, we will share your personal data with that retailer. We therefore encourage you to refer to the relevant retailer’s privacy notice.
If you have any questions about our use of your personal data, please contact us at contact@gawapp.com.

Transfers Abroad
In connection with the above we might transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area, including to a jurisdiction which is not recognised by the European Commission as providing for an equivalent level of protection for personal data as is provided for in the European Union. If and to the extent that we do so, we will ensure that appropriate measures are in place to comply with our obligations under applicable law governing such transfers. These may include entering into a contract governing the transfer that contains the ‘standard contractual clauses’ approved for this purpose by the European Commission or, in respect of transfers to the United States of America, ensuring that the transfer is covered by the EU-US Privacy Shield framework.
