Lawful Basis for Processing
We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on include:
- Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose
- Contract: Processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract
- Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for us to comply with the law
- Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data that overrides those interests
Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with similar data protection laws, you have the following rights:
Right to Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of your request.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data or complete any incomplete data we hold about you.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the information provided above. We will respond to your request within one month. If your request is complex or you have made numerous requests, we may extend this period by up to two months, but we will inform you of any extension within the first month.
We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will not charge a fee for most requests, but we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
Data Transfers
Your personal data may be processed in countries outside the EEA. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:
- Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
- Adequacy decisions where the receiving country has been deemed to provide adequate data protection
- Other lawful transfer mechanisms
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Retention periods are determined based on:
- The nature of the data and the purposes of processing
- Legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements
- Industry standards and best practices
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit
- Access controls and authentication
- Regular security assessments
- Staff training on data protection
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.
Complaints
If you believe that we have not complied with your data protection rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the EEA, this would be the data protection authority in your country of residence. In Canada, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
However, we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach a supervisory authority, so please contact us first.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this GDPR compliance information from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
