However, please note that the data processor(s) we rely on may store or transfer your personal data outside the EEA. When such a transfer happens, we ensure that it takes place in accordance with this Privacy Policy and that the necessary safeguards are put in place, ensuring that the transfer is (i) either regulated by standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate protection or (ii) done to an organisation that complies with the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework as implemented by the U.S. Department of Commerce in case the transfer is made to the United States of America.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Once you have provided your personal data, several rights are recognized under the Data Protection Legislation, which you can in principle exercise free of charge, subject to statutory exceptions. In particular, you have the following rights:

  • Right to withdraw consent: if your personal data is processed on the basis of you consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time you choose and on your own initiative. You can do so by contacting us via email. The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the collection and processing of your data based on your consent up until the moment where you withdraw your consent.
  • Right to access, review, and rectify your data: you have the right to access, review, and rectify your personal data. You may be entitled to ask us for a copy of your information, to review or correct it if you wish to review or rectify any information like your name or email address.

You can access and review this information and, if necessary, ask to rectify your information.
  • Right to erasure: you have the right to erasure of all the personal data processed by as described herein in case it is no longer needed for the purposes for which the personal data was initially collected or processed, in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation.  
  • Right to object or restriction of processing: under certain circumstances described in the Data Protection Legislation, you may ask for a restriction of processing or object to the processing of your personal data.
  • Right to object to processing for direct marketing: where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may object to such processing.
  • Right to data portability: you have the right to receive the Personal Data processed in a format which is structured, commonly used and machine-readable and to transmit this data to another service provider.

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping.

To exercise any of these rights, you can get in touch with us using the details set out below.

If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to lodge a complaint with an EU data protection authority where you live, work or where you believe a breach may have occurred. 

What security measures are put in place?

Appropriate technical and organisational measures are implemented in order to ensure an appropriate level of security of your personal data.

In the event personal information is compromised as a result of a security breach and where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms, we will make the necessary notifications, as required under the Data Protection Legislation. 

Changes to this policy

We reserve the right to modify and update this privacy policy from time to time. We will bring these changes to your attention should they be indicative of a fundamental change to the processing or be relevant to the nature of the processing or be relevant to you and impact your data protection rights.
