GDPR and EU and U.K. Residents’ Privacy Rights
The EU and U.K. General Data Protection Regulations (collectively, “GDPR”) are privacy laws that afford certain rights relating to the Personal Data of individuals in the EU and U.K. which are discussed below. For Personal Data subject to the GDPR that is collected through the Service, We act as a “controller.”
Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data under GDPR
Most of the time, our lawful basis for processing Your Personal Data under the GDPR will be to (1) perform a contractual obligation with you, (2) fulfill legitimate business interests (such as marketing, ensuring the security and functionality of the Services, and continuing to develop Our offerings), (3) comply with a legal obligation, or (4) conduct processing to which you have specifically consented.
For example, We need to process Your Personal Data in order to provide You with the Services. In that circumstance, our lawful basis for processing Your Personal Data is to perform our contractual obligations to you. Likewise, it may be necessary to Our legitimate business interests of growing and continuing Our Services to use Your Personal Data in order to communicate with You regarding the Services and related items that We believe may be of interest to You.
If you have questions regarding the lawful basis for Our processing, please do not hesitate to contact us using the information provided below.
Your Rights under the GDPR
If You are located in the EU or U.K., the GDPR provides You with the following rights:
- Request access to Your Personal Data. The right to access, update or delete the information We have on You. Whenever made possible, you can access, update or request deletion of Your Personal Data directly within Your account settings section. If you are unable to perform these actions yourself, please contact Us to assist You. This also enables You to receive a copy of the Personal Data We hold about You.
- Request correction of the Personal Data that We hold about You. You have the right to have any incomplete or inaccurate information We hold about You corrected.
- Object to processing of Your Personal Data. This right exists where We are relying on a legitimate interest as the legal basis for Our processing and there is something about Your particular situation, which makes You want to object to our processing of Your Personal Data on this ground. You also have the right to object where We are processing Your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.
- Request erasure of Your Personal Data. You have the right to ask Us to delete or remove Personal Data when there is no good reason for Us to continue processing it.
- Request the transfer of Your Personal Data. We will provide to You, or to a third-party You have chosen, Your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Please 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.
- Withdraw Your consent. You have the right to withdraw Your consent on using your Personal Data. If You withdraw Your consent, We may not be able to provide You with access to certain specific functionalities of the Service.
Exercising of Your GDPR Data Protection Rights
Subject to exceptions, if You wish to exercise one of the rights identified above with regard to Personal Data subject to this Privacy Policy, you may do so by submitting a written request to privacy@ccrcorp.com. This is normally free, unless this process is unduly difficult or is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee or decline to respond. Once we have received your request, we will review it and contact you within 30 days of our receipt of your request, but we will notify you of any delay and, in any event, will reply within three (3) months. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights).
Lastly, if you are located in the EU or U.K. and have a concern about our processing of your Personal Data, You may have the right to complain to the appropriate Data Protection Authority in the EU or U.K.
Data Transfers from the EU or U.K.
As indicated previously, your Personal Data may be transferred to our servers in the United States. The United States has not received an “adequacy finding” from the European Commission under Article 45 of the GDPR. We rely either on appropriate safeguards under Article 46 of the GDPR (specifically, standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission) or on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 49. For example, we collect and transfer Personal Data to the U.S. only with your consent, to perform a contract with you, or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest that does not outweigh your rights or freedoms. We endeavor to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with us and the practices described in this Policy. We will enter into data processing agreements with our vendors when feasible and appropriate.
