GDPR Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of a European Union country, including the United Kingdom and Switzerland, an important European privacy law (or an equivalent counterpart to it) the General Data Privacy Regulation (the "GDPR") provides you with certain rights, and places certain obligations on companies regarding how your "personal data" (as the GDPR uses that term) is used.  We describe those rights and obligations below, and how and in what circumstances we honor them. 

Legal Basis

We rely on the following legal grounds in processing your personal data:

  • You provided your (legally sufficient) consent
  • It is necessary for our contractual relationship – for instance, to provide you services
  • The processing is necessary for us to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations – for instance, tax reporting requirements
  • The processing is in our legitimate interest - for instance, we may process and share business data collected from our website for our own internal marketing purposes, service improvement or business analytics, in a manner that constitutes a "legitimate interest"

Minors

We do not knowingly collect personal information of minors under the age of 16 (or the minority age depending on the applicable Data Privacy Laws), nor are our Sites or Services developed for, offered to, or directed at children under the age of 16. If you believe that we have collected information of a child under the age of 16, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

Your Data Subject Rights

A. Right to Rectify, Delete, Restrict or Object to the Processing

You may also request that we correct or rectify your personal data if it is inaccurate, incomplete or false.

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data (or where applicable, withdraw your prior consent to our processing of your data).  If you request that we delete your personal data, or withdraw your consent, we will customarily retain a copy of your data sufficient to suppress it from our active databases in the future:  but if that is not what you wish, you may indicate that to us (in which case your information may be added to our database later, because we will not have "suppressed" it).

Moreover, when we delete your personal data, we may retain it (to the extent legally permissible) for certain important (but narrow) internal purposes such as legal, compliance, accounting or auditing purposes, and in some cases, for security purposes. 

As part of your right to object, you may unsubscribe from marketing and other communications that we may send (on behalf of ourselves or others) by clicking the "opt-out" or "unsubscribe" link in the footer of those emails.

B. Your Right to Access

In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to request access to a copy of your personal data.  When you request access to your personal data, we are required to verify your identity in a legally sufficient manner.  If we cannot do so, we will not be able to satisfy your access request.

C. Questions or Concerns

If you have a concern or question about how we handle your personal data, please contact us through the means provided below.  If you are not happy with how we have attempted to resolve your complaint, you may contact the relevant data protection authority.
