13. General Data Protection Regulation
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (or the “GDPR”) requires LIBERATE and those using our services to provide users with certain information about the processing of their “Personal Data.” “Personal Data” is a term used in Europe that means, generally, data that identifies or can identify a particular unique user or device – for instance, names, addresses, Cookie identifiers, mobile device identifiers, precise location data and biometric data.
To comply with the GDPR, we provide the below representations and information, which are specific to persons located in EEA countries or Switzerland (so please don’t rely on the below, if You’re not):
a. Legal Grounds for Processing Your Personal Data
When we act as a “data controller”, the GDPR requires us to tell You about the legal basis we’re relying on to process any Personal Data about You. The legal basis for us processing Your Personal Data for the purposes set out in the “Types of Information We Collect and How We Use It” section above and will typically be because:
Legitimate Interests. In some cases, we use legitimate interest as a legal basis for processing Personal Data. We rely on legitimate interest when we use Personal Data to maintain the security of our services, and when we communicate with or otherwise manage our client data.
You provided Your consent.
Contractual Relationships. Sometimes, we process certain data as necessary under a contractual relationship we have (such as our client records and contact information);
Legal Obligations. Finally, some processing of data may be necessary for us to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations.
b. Personal Data Retention
As a general matter, we retain Your Personal Data for as long as necessary to provide our Website and services, or for other important purposes such as complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements, as well as for auditing, corporate record-keeping, compliance accounting or security and bug-prevention purposes.
c. Your Rights as a Data Subject
The GDPR provides You with certain rights in respect of Personal Data that data controllers hold about You, including certain rights to access Personal Data, to request correction of the Personal Data, to withdraw Your consent where we process Your Personal Data pursuant to Your consent, to request to restrict or delete Personal Data, and to object to our processing of Your Personal Data (including profiling for online ad targeting). To exercise those rights, You may contact us as described above, in Section 12.
However, where we process Personal Data on behalf of a client (which is often the case), we may refer the request to the relevant client and cooperate with their handling of the request, subject to any special contractual arrangement with that client. Many of the rights described here are subject to significant limitations and exceptions under applicable law. For example, objections to the processing of Personal Data, and withdrawals of consent, typically will not have retroactive effect. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. However, we hope that You will first consult with us, so that we may work with You to resolve any complaint or concern You might have.
If You reside in the EU, following is a more detailed overview of Your rights under GDPR, if it applies to You.
You have the right to request:
Access to the personal data we hold about You, free of charge in most cases.
The correction of Your personal data when incorrect, out of date or incomplete.
That we stop using Your personal data for direct marketing (either through specific channels, or all channels).
That we stop any consent-based processing of Your personal data after You withdraw that consent.
You can contact us to request to exercise these rights at any time by emailing info@Liberate.com.
If we choose not to take action on Your request we will explain to You the reasons for our refusal.
Your right to withdraw consent
Whenever You have given us Your consent to use Your personal data, You have the right to change Your mind at any time and withdraw that consent.
Where we rely on our legitimate interest
In cases where we are processing Your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest, You can ask us to stop for reasons connected to Your individual situation.
We must then do so unless we believe we have a legitimate overriding reason to continue processing Your personal data.
Direct marketing
You have the right to stop the use of Your personal data for direct marketing activity through all channels, or selected channels. We must always comply with Your request.
Checking Your identity
To protect the confidentiality of Your information, we will ask You to verify Your identity before proceeding with any request You make under this Privacy Policy.
If You have authorized a third party to submit a request on Your behalf, we will ask them to prove they have Your permission to act.
Contacting the Regulator – EEA UK and Switzerland Only
If You feel that Your data has not been handled correctly, or You are unhappy with our response to any requests You have made to us regarding the use of Your personal data, You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
You can contact them by calling 0303 123 1113.
