Compliance with European Data Protection Laws

Individuals based in Europe and certain other individuals (each a “Data Subject”) may have rights in relation to their information (referred to as “Personal Data”) under European data privacy laws. This excludes information processed as part of our Client Services on behalf of our clients, who should be contacted instead. Please contact us or visit the website of your local data privacy authority or privacy regulator for further information about your rights.

• Right to make a subject access request (“SAR”). Data Subjects may request in writing copies of their Personal Data. However, compliance with such requests is subject to certain limitations and exemptions and the rights of other individuals. Each request should make clear that a SAR is being made. You may also be required to submit a proof of your identity and payment, where applicable.
• Right to rectification. Data Subjects may request that we rectify any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data.
• Right to withdraw consent. Data Subjects may at any time withdraw their consent to the processing of their Personal Data carried out by us on the basis of their previous consent. Such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on such previous consent.
• Right to object to processing including profiling. We will comply with valid objection requests unless we have a compelling overriding legitimate ground for the continuation of our processing or we have another lawful reason to refuse the Data Subject’s request. We will comply with each valid opt-out request in relation to marketing communications.
• Rights in relation to automated decisions about you. Where we make a decision based solely on automated processing which significantly affects the Data Subject, the Data Subject will have the right to contest the decision, express his/her point of view and obtain human intervention.
• Right to erasure. Data Subjects may request that we erase their Personal Data. We will comply, unless there is a lawful reason for not doing so. For example, there may be an overriding legitimate ground for keeping the Personal Data, such as, our business record retention obligations that we have to comply with.
• Restriction. Data Subjects may request that we restrict our processing of their Personal Data in various circumstances. We will comply, unless there is a lawful reason for not doing so, such as, a legal obligation to continue processing your Personal Data in a certain way.
• Right to data portability. In certain circumstances, Data Subjects may request the controller to provide a copy of their Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have it transferred to another provider of the same or similar services. To the extent this applies to our Site, we will comply with such transfer request. Please note that a transfer to another provider does not imply erasure of the Data Subject’s Personal Data which may still be retained for legitimate and lawful purposes.
• Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. We suggest that Data Subjects contact us about any questions or complaints in relation to how we process their Personal Data. However, each Data Subject has the right to contact the relevant supervisory authority directly. A list of supervisory authorities is available here.
• Where we act on behalf of our clients as a data processor, we will pass on any rights requests to our respective clients to handle.
