YOUR RIGHTS
You can review and change your personal information by logging into the Website and visiting your account profile page.
Applicable local laws such as the GDPR, Nevada privacy laws and California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), may provide you with rights in respect of your personal data if you are in the territory to which the GDPR applies (i.e. the European Economic Area “EEA“). As a business we will honour such rights to the extent that these rights have been granted to you under applicable local laws. If you are unsure on which country’s data protection laws apply to you, we recommend that you seek advice of a data protection lawyer.
As mentioned, the following rights may be available to you depending on which country’s data protection law applies to you:
Request access to your personal data. If applicable to you, this enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it in accordance with applicable laws.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. If applicable, this enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. If applicable, this enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to its processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing. If applicable you may have a right to object to the processing ofyour personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You may also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes (for example under EU law). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. If applicable, this enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
- Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
- Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
- You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Data portability. If this right applies, we will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that under EU law this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data (if applicable). However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
Right to Complain If applicable, you may have the right to complain to a supervisory authority or other regulator if you are not satisfied with our responses to your requests or how we process your personal data. For example, if you are located in the EEA more information about the EEA Data Protection Authorities can be found at: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en. However, we encourage you to contact us in the first instance using the details at the end of this Privacy Policy.
Right not to sell data : You have the right to request that we do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration to certain other parties. This right applies even if your personal information is not currently being sold.
Right to Data Deletion: You have the right to request that we delete any personal information about you that we have collected. Certain privacy laws do not obligate us to delete information under all circumstances, including where we need the information to provide our services to you, to detect security incidents, to identify errors in our services, or to comply with legal obligations. We will also maintain a record of your requests to exercise your rights, according to your legal jurisdiction.
Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
DATA SECURITY
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our servers that follow industry standard security practices. Passwords and other non-searchable fields in the database are encrypted using industry standard encryption and hashing algorithms. No payment information, including credit card or debit card information will be stored on the site.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where a password protects access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for using a complex password, keeping this password confidential, and changing it regularly. We ask you not to share your password with anyone, and we advise that you use a password management tool in order to simplify the use and management of complex passwords.
The transmission of information via the internet is not inherently or completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information once it is stored in our systems, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information when you transmit it over the internet. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for your circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures, notably by your use of any proxy, forwarding, or other tools that intercept web traffic or by your failure to properly security the endpoint used for accessing our Website.
DATA RETENTION
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
