Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company’s operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of Your jurisdiction.

 

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information represents Your agreement to that transfer.

 

The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of Your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of Your data and other personal information.

Security of Your Personal Data

 

The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We anticipate risks and privacy-invasive events before they occur, and take steps to prevent harm to individuals

 We only process the personal data that we need for our purposes(s), and that we only use the data for those purposes.

 We provide the identity and contact information of those responsible for data protection both within our organisation and to individuals.

 We adopt a ‘plain language’ policy for any public documents so that individuals easily understand what we are doing with their personal data.

We provide individuals with tools so they can determine how we are using their personal data, and whether our policies are being properly enforced.

 We offer strong privacy defaults, user-friendly options and controls, and respect user preferences.

 We only use data processors that provide sufficient guarantees of their technical and organisational measures for data protection by design.

We use privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) to assist us in complying with our data protection by design obligations.

Data Protection Impact Assessment

Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) refers to a process designed to identify risks arising out of processing of personal data to enable minimization or negation of the risks.  

We consider carrying out a DPIA in any major project involving the use of personal data.

 We consider whether to do a DPIA if we plan to carry out any other:

 

• automated decision-making with significant effects;
• systematic monitoring;
• processing of sensitive data or data of a highly personal nature;
• processing on a large scale;
• processing of data concerning vulnerable data subjects;
• innovative technological or organisational solutions;
• processing that involves preventing data subjects from exercising a right or using a service or contract.

 We always carry out a DPIA if we plan to:

• use systematic and extensive profiling or automated decision-making to make significant decisions about people;
• process special-category data or criminal-offence data on a large scale;
• systematically monitor a publicly accessible place on a large scale;
• use profiling, automated decision-making or special category data to help make decisions on someone’s access to a service, opportunity or benefit;
• carry out profiling on a large scale;
• process biometric or genetic data
• combine, compare or match data from multiple sources;
• process personal data in a way that involves tracking individuals’ online or offline location or behaviour,
• process children’s personal data for profiling or automated decision-making or for marketing purposes, or offer online services directly to them;
• process personal data that could result in a risk of physical harm in the event of a security breach.

 We carry out a new DPIA if there is a change to the nature, scope, context or purposes of our processing.

 If we decide not to carry out a DPIA, we document our reasons.

Personal Data Breaches

A personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data. This includes breaches that are the result of both accidental and deliberate causes. It also means that a breach is more than just about losing personal data.

 

We know how to recognise a personal data breach.

 We understand that a personal data breach isn’t only about loss or theft of personal data.

 We have prepared a response plan for addressing any personal data breaches that occur.

 We have allocated responsibility for managing breaches to a dedicated person or team.

 Our staff know how to escalate a security incident to the appropriate person or team in our organisation to determine whether a breach has occurred.

Analytics

Children’s Privacy

 

Our Service does not address any minor. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from any minor. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from any minor without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.

 

If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent’s consent before We collect and use that information.
