For European Economic Area users
If you are an individual in the European Economic Area (EEA), we collect and process information about you only where we have legal bases for doing so under applicable European Union laws. The legal bases depend on the services you use and how you use them. This means we collect and use your information only where:
- we need it to provide you with our services, provide customer support and personalized features and to protect the safety and security of our services
- it satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote our services and to protect our legal rights and interests
- you give us consent to do so for a specific purpose or we need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.
If you have consented to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your information because we or a third party (e.g. your employer) have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use though, in some cases, this may mean no longer using our services.
We may disclose personal information to:
- Third party service providers for the purpose of enabling them to provide their services, including (without limitation) IT service providers, data storage, web-hosting and server providers, debt collectors, maintenance or problem-solving providers, marketing or advertising providers, professional advisors and payment systems operators.
- Our employees, contractors and/or related entities.
- Our existing or potential agents or business partners.
- Sponsors or promoters of any competition we run.
- Anyone to whom our business or assets (or any part of them) are, or may (in good faith) be, transferred.
- Credit reporting agencies, courts, tribunals and regulatory authorities, in the event you fail to pay for goods or services we have provided to you.
- Courts, tribunals, regulatory authorities and law enforcement officers, as required by law, in connection with any actual or prospective legal proceedings, or in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
- Third parties, including agents or sub-contractors, who assist us in providing information, products, services or direct marketing to you.
- Third parties to collect and process data, such as Google Analytics or other relevant businesses.
The third party will only process your personal information in accordance with written instructions from us. When we refer to ‘processing’ in this clause and this Privacy Policy in general, we mean any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal information, whether or not by automated means, such as collecting, recording, organising, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available personal information.
Please note that we use the following third parties to process your personal information:
• Google Analytics
By providing us with personal information, you consent to the disclosure of your personal information to third parties who reside outside EU. Where the disclosure of your personal information is subject to GDPR, you acknowledge that there are risks if the third party outside the EEA engages in any act or practice that would contravene the GDPR and where there is no adequacy decision in place with the country outside the EEA or appropriate safeguards in place with the third party
Controllers are defined by the GDPR as natural or legal persons, a public authority, agency or another body to which personal information or personal data has been disclosed, whether via a third party or not, and who determines the purposes and means of processing personal information. We are a controller under the GDPR as we collect, use and store your personal information to enable us to provide you with our goods and/or services.
As a controller, we have certain obligations under the GDPR when collecting, storing and using the personal information of individuals based in the EEA. If you are an individual located in the EEA, your personal data will:
- Be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner by us.
- Only be collected for the specific purposes we have identified in the ‘collection and use of personal information’ clause above and personal information will not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with the purposes we have identified.
- Be collected in a way that is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for relation to the purpose for which the personal information is processed.
- Be kept up to date, where it is possible and within our control to do so (please let us know if you would like us to correct any of your personal information).
- Be kept in a form which permits us to identify you, but only for so long as necessary for the purposes for which the personal data was collected.
- Be processed securely and in a way that protects against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.
We also apply these principles to the way we collect, store and use the personal information, in accordance with the GDPR:
• Data Protection Policies
We have internal policies in place which set out where and how we collect personal information, how it is stored and where it goes after we get it, in order to protect your personal information.
• Right to Ask us to Erase your Personal Information
You may ask us to erase personal information we hold about you.
• Right to Ask us to Restrict Data Processing
You may ask us to limit the processing of your personal information where you believe that the personal information we hold about you is wrong (to give us enough time to verify if the information needs to be changed), or where processing data is unlawful and you request us to restrict the processing of personal information rather than it being erased.
• Notification of Data Breaches
We will comply with the GDPR in respect of any data breach.
