In order to provide you with the best service and to carry out the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, your data may be transferred to third parties (such as regulatory authorities, advisers or other suppliers, such as cloud based storage providers, to our business).

We store your personal information on servers and on servers of cloud-based database management services (primarily Amazon Web Services) engaged by us within the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

We wish to ensure that your data is stored and transferred in a way that is secure. We will, therefore, only transfer data outside the EEA where it is compliant with data protection legislation and the means of transfer provides adequate safeguards in relation to your data, for example:

  • by way of data transfer agreement, incorporating the current standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data by data controllers in the EEA to data controllers and processors in jurisdictions without adequate data protection laws; or
  • by transferring your data to a country where there has been a finding of adequacy by the European Commission in respect of that country’s levels of data protection via its legislation; or
  • where it is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between us and a third party and the transfer is in your interests for the purposes of that contract (for example, if we need to transfer data outside the EEA in order to meet our obligations under that contract if you are a client of ours); or
  • where you have consented to the data transfer.

8. Retaining personal information

Our data retention policies and procedures are designed to help ensure that we comply with our legal obligations in relation to the retention and deletion of personal data.

Personal data that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes. When determining the relevant retention periods, we will take into account factors including:

  • our contractual and business relationships with you (our legitimate business and risk management needs);
  • legal obligations under applicable law to retain data for a certain period of time;
  • potential or actual disputes; and
  • guidelines issued by relevant regulatory or other competent authority.

In determining the appropriate retention period for various types of personal data, in addition to ensuring that we comply with our legal, regulatory and risk-management obligations, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we need to process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

9. Security of personal information

We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.

We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure, restricted servers.

You acknowledge that the transmission of information over the Internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the Internet.

10. Your rights

One of data protection legislation’s main objectives is to protect and clarify the rights of individuals with regards to data privacy. This means that you retain various rights in respect of your data, even once you have given it to us. These are described in more detail below.

If you want to exercise any of these rights then please contact us at hello@collidr.com or via mail or by phone using the details in section 2. We will seek to deal with your request without undue delay, and in any event within one month (subject to any extensions to which we are lawfully entitled). Please note that we may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues that you raise.

Specific rights:

  • Right to object – you have the right to object to the processing of your personal information where we are relying on a “legitimate interests” or “sending you direct marketing materials”. If your objection relates to direct marketing, we must act on your objection by ceasing this activity. If your objection relates to us processing your personal data because we deem it necessary for our legitimate interests, we must act on your objection by ceasing the activity in question unless we:
    • can show that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing which overrides your interests; or
    • are processing your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.
  • Data Subject Access Request – you have the right to request access to your personal information. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are processing it lawfully. We may ask you to verify your identity and for more information about your request. If we provide you with access to the information we hold about you, we will not charge you for this unless your request is “manifestly unfounded or excessive”. If you request further copies of this information from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost where legally permissible. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.
  • Right to rectification – you have the right to request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Right to erasure – you have the right to request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information 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 information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see above).
  • Right to restrict data processing – you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it. The circumstances in which you are entitled to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data are where:
    • you dispute the accuracy of the personal data that we are processing about you. In this case, our processing of your personal data will be restricted for the period during which the accuracy of the data is verified;
    • you object to our processing of your personal data for our legitimate interests. Here, you can request that the data be restricted while we verify our grounds for processing your personal data;
    • our processing of your data is unlawful, but you would prefer us to restrict our processing of it rather than erasing it; and
    • we have no further need to process your personal data but you require the data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • Right of data portability – you have the right to transfer your personal data between data controllers. To allow you to do so, we will provide you with your data in a commonly used machine-readable format so that you can transfer the data to another controller.
