For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
Please contact us using the details set out in Section 13 below if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
9. HOW DOES HUDIG & VEDER KEEP MY PERSONAL DATA SECURE?
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. When we notify you we will provide you with the relevant details of the personal data breach.
10. HOW LONG WILL HUDIG & VEDER USE MY ERSONAL DATA FOR?
We retain personal data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business, legal or contractual need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable tax, legal or accounting requirements).
Where we have no ongoing legitimate business, legal or contractual need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymous it, or, if this is not possible (e.g. if your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will secure your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
11. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These are:
1. Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
2. Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we
may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
3. Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process
it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below),
where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
4. Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular
situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
5. Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
(a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
(b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
(c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
(d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
6. Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured,
commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where
we used the information to perform a contract with you.
7. Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing
carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you
if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the details set out in Section 13 below.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may 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.
12. CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY AND YOUR DUTY TO INFORM US OF CHANGES
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in response to changing legal, technical or business developments. We will take appropriate measures to inform you, consistent with the significance of the changes we make. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
