Other Important Information

Legal Basis for Processing Your Information

Laws in some jurisdictions (including the European Economic Area “EEA”, require us to inform you of our legal basis for processing your information. We collect and process information about you only where we have a legal basis for doing so under applicable law. The legal basis depends on the type of information and the specific context in which we collect it. However, some examples of the legal basis for processing that we rely on are;

• Where we need to collect and use the information to provide our services to you;
• Where it satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as to provide security, for research and development, to market and promote the services and to protect our legal rights and interests; or
• Where you give us consent to do so for a specific purpose.

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 in doing so, you have the right to object to that use though, in some cases, this may mean no longer using the services.

Making Choices about your data – Laws and regulations include The General Data Protection Directive (“GDPR”) grants individuals certain rights with respect to their data. These include the right to request a copy of your data, to object to our use of your data (including for marketing purposes), to request the deletion or restriction of your data, or to request your data in a structured, electronic format. You can exercise these rights by contacting us at the address in the Contact Information section below.

The GDPR provides that we may limit or deny your requests in certain cases. For example, if fulfilling your request would reveal information about another person, or if you ask to delete information which we have compelling legitimate interests to keep, including as required by law. You may have the right to complain to a data protection authority in the country where you live, where you work or where you feel your rights were infringed if you have concerns about your rights.
