Additional Information For Users In The UK / EU (If Applicable)

Controller. We are the data controller of the Personal Data we process about you.

If you are in the UK or EU, the relevant UK and EU Personal Data protection laws will apply to our use of your Personal Data, which means any applicable data protection and privacy laws relating to the processing of personal data and privacy including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“EU GDPR”) and the EU GDPR as retained under the domestic law of the United Kingdom (collectively, “UK / EU Data Protection Laws”).

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency with the main body of this Privacy Policy and this section, this section shall prevail to the extent that the UK / EU Data Protection Laws apply to our use of your Personal Data.

Legal Basis for Processing Your Personal Data

We are entitled to process your Personal Data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy because:

  • the use of your Personal Data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are subject or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract;
  • we have legal and regulatory obligations that we have to discharge; 
  • we need to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights or for the purpose of legal proceedings;
  • you consent for us to process your Personal Data for a specific purpose; and/or
  • the use of your Personal Data as described is necessary for our legitimate business interests (or the legitimate interests of one or more of our affiliates), and these legitimate business interests do not cause undue prejudice to your data protection interests, such interests include:
    • improving, enhancing and developing our Platform and/or services;

Cross-Border Data Transfers

As a global business, we may store, transfer and process your Personal Data within our affiliates and to our suppliers based in countries other than the country where you are located. We will take appropriate safeguards to ensure that any transfers of Personal Data are in accordance with UK / EU Data Protection Laws.

Where we transfer Personal Data outside of the UK and/or EU, we shall ensure that your Personal Data is protected in a manner that is consistent with UK / EU Data Protection Laws. This can be done in a number of ways, for instance:

  • the country or jurisdiction that we transfer the Personal Data to is approved by the European Commission or UK Government (as appropriate) as providing a level of protection equivalent to that under UK / EU Data Protection Laws (i.e. an adequacy decision); or
  • appropriate contractual safeguards will be put in place with the recipient, such as the “Standard Contractual Clauses”approved by the European Commission or UK Government (as appropriate), and by adopting appropriate supplementary measures necessary, to ensure a level of protection equivalent to that under UK / EU Data Protection Laws. You can request a copy of the measures applied to the transfer of Personal Data by using the contact information as stated below.

In other circumstances, the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your Personal Data outside the UK and/or EU.

Your Rights. If you are in the UK / EU, you have the following rights under the relevant Personal Data protection laws:

  • Right to Access your Personal Data that we process and receive a copy of it;
  • Right to Rectify inaccurate Personal Data we have concerning you and to have incomplete Personal Data completed;
  • Right to Data Portability, that is, to receive the Personal Data that you provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

Where technically feasible, you have the right that your Personal Data be transmitted directly from us to the service provider you designate;
  • Right to Withdraw Consent to processing your Personal Data, at any time, where the processing is based on consent. If you do that, we will still process certain information on a legal basis other than consent, as described in this Policy. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the data processing we carried out based on your consent before such withdrawal;
  • Right to Object, based on your particular situation, to using your Personal Data on the basis of our legitimate interests. However, we may override the objection if we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. You may also object at any time to the use of your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes
  • Right to Restrict processing your Personal Data (except for storing it) if you contest the accuracy of your Personal Data, for a period enabling us to verify its accuracy; if you believe that the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the Personal Data and request instead to restrict its use; if we no longer need the Personal Data for the purposes outlined in this Policy, but you require them to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or if you object to processing, pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds for processing overrides yours;
  • Right to be Forgotten. Under certain circumstances, such as when your right to object overrides our legitimate interests, you have the right to ask us to erase your Personal Data. However, we may still process your Personal Data if it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, we are subject to under laws in EU Member States or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; and
  • Right to lodge a complaint. If you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable data protection regulator (details of which are provided below).

If you desire to exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). We may however charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

We reserve the right to ask for reasonable evidence to verify your identity before we provide you with information. Where we are not able to provide you with information that you have asked for, we will explain the reason for this.
