When transferring your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we are committed to ensuring robust protection and adherence to the highest data privacy standards. To achieve this, we implement appropriate safeguards as mandated by relevant data protection regulations, including:

  • ●  Adequacy Decisions by the European Commission: This involves transferring data to countries, territories, or specific sectors within a country that the European Commission has officially recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection. Such a decision means that the legal framework of the third country or international organization is deemed to provide a level of protection for personal data essentially equivalent to that guaranteed within the EEA.

  • ●  Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) Approved by the European Commission: In the absence of an adequacy decision, we utilize SCCs. These are pre-approved model data protection clauses that ensure appropriate safeguards are in place when personal data is transferred to a third country. They are legally binding commitments between the data exporter and the data importer, obligating them to protect the data according to EU data protection standards. These clauses are designed to ensure that personal data continues to benefit from the same high level of protection even when processed outside the EEA.

    Legal requirements may include, but are not limited to, obligations to retain data for tax purposes, regulatory compliance, or to comply with court orders.

  • ●  Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.

    Regulation (GDPR), individuals are granted a comprehensive set of rights designed to provide them with greater control over their personal data. These rights empower data subjects to understand, access, correct, and even demand the deletion or restriction of processing of their personal information.

    Specifically, these rights include:

  • ●  Right of access to your personal data: Data subjects have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data and certain information regarding the processing. This includes details such as the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned, the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, and the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored.

  • ●  Right to rectification of incorrect or incomplete data: If personal data held about an individual is inaccurate or incomplete, they have the right to have it corrected without undue delay. This ensures that personal information used by organizations is accurate and up-to-date.

  • ●  Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”): In certain circumstances, individuals have the right to request the deletion of their personal data. This right applies, for example, when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed, or when the individual withdraws consent and there is no other legal ground for processing.

  • ●  Right to restriction of processing: Under specific conditions, individuals can request that the processing of their personal data be restricted. This means that

while the data may still be stored, it can only be processed for limited purposes, such as with the individual's consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. This right can be invoked when the accuracy of the data is contested, the processing is unlawful, or the organization no longer needs the data but the individual requires it for legal reasons.

  • ●  Right to data portability: This right allows individuals to receive their personal data, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the original controller, where the processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means. This promotes data interoperability and allows individuals to easily transfer their data between service providers.

  • ●  Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing: Individuals have the right to object to the processing of their personal data where the processing is based on legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. Furthermore, individuals have an absolute right to object to the processing of their personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

  • ●  Right to withdraw your consent at any time: Where the processing of personal data is based on consent, individuals have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Organizations must make it as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it.

Article 11 – Automated decision-making Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We are committed to fair and transparent data practices. Therefore, we want to assure you that we do not engage in automated decision-making processes, including profiling, that could have significant legal or similar effects on you.

This means that any decisions concerning your rights, access to services, or other significant outcomes are not made solely by automated systems without human intervention. We believe in upholding individual rights and ensuring that algorithmic processes do not lead to discriminatory or unfair results.

Our approach to data processing prioritizes human oversight and accountability. While we may utilize data analytics to improve our services or understand trends, these analyses are used to inform decisions, not to replace human judgment. We do not use automated systems to create profiles of individuals that could then be used to make decisions with legal or similarly significant consequences, such as determining eligibility for services, creditworthiness, or employment opportunities, without appropriate human review.

Should there be any instance where automated processes contribute to a decision that affects you, we ensure that there is a clear process for human review and the opportunity for you to express your point of view and contest the decision.

Our aim is to maintain a balance between leveraging technology for efficiency and safeguarding individual liberties and fairness.
