Sugar Rush processes your personal data based on several legal grounds as stipulated by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws:

• Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Sugar Rush or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. These legitimate interests include security, fraud prevention, service improvement, and marketing (where consent is not required).
• Consent: In specific situations, we may rely on your explicit consent for processing certain types of data, particularly for direct marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. However, Sugar Rush may share your information with trusted third parties under specific circumstances:

• Regulatory and Legal Authorities: We may disclose your data to government bodies, regulators, law enforcement agencies, or other authorities when legally required to do so, for example, to comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or to prevent fraud or other illegal activities.
• Affiliates and Group Companies: Your data may be shared with companies within our corporate group for operational, analytical, and security purposes.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such transfer and any changes to this Privacy Policy.
