  1. Your rights under the EU GDPR

We welcomed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (EU) as an important step forward in streamlining data protection globally. Although we do not operate an establishment within the EU and do not target any offering of services towards clients in the EU specifically, we intend to comply with the data handling regime laid out in the GDPR in respect of any personal information of data subjects in the EU that we may obtain.

Under the GDPR, as a data subject you have the right to:

  • access your data;

  • have your data deleted or corrected where it is inaccurate;

  • object to your data being processed and to restrict processing;

  • withdraw consent to having your data processed;

  • have your data provided in a standard format so that it can be transferred elsewhere; and

  • not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing,

(together, Data Subject Rights).

We have processes in place to deal with Data Subject Rights requests. Our actions and responsibilities will depend on whether we are the controller or processor of the personal data at issue. Depending on our role as either a controller or processor, the process for enabling Data Subject Rights may differ, and is always subject to the applicable law. Please refer to the Contact Details section of this policy if you would like to make a Data Subject Rights request or have a specific need for assistance with a Data Subject Rights request.
