Legal Grounds for Processing Personal Data
We depend on the subsequent legal foundations to process your personal data:
Execution of our commitments within a contract with you, or initiating pre-contractual steps with you.
Adherence to legal and regulatory mandates.
Our authentic business interests, as well as those of our clients. We base the processing of your personal data on our genuine business interests and those of our clients. For instance, we possess a legitimate interest in offering and enhancing the Inedo service; boosting the security and integrity of our Platform; reducing claims and financial setbacks for us and our clients; marketing the Platform, our services, and brand; engaging in research and analytics; and collaborating with our service vendors who bolster our functional activities.
In instances where we dispatch promotional content via email, we secure your consent, serving as a legal premise for processing your personal data.
Disclosure of your information
We might disclose your data to the following chosen third parties:
- business allies, service providers, and subcontractors for the fulfillment of contracts we embark upon with them or you;
- service providers functioning as processors offering IT, customer management, recruitment handling, and system management services;
- analytics and search engine operators that support us in refining and optimizing our Platform.
Your personal data might be shared with specific third parties under these circumstances:
- with your explicit consent;
- to third parties in the event we decide to sell, transfer, or merge sections of our business or assets. Conversely, we might attempt to purchase other companies or integrate with them. In the event of a business transformation, the succeeding owners may utilize your personal data;
- to other entities within our Inedo corporate family;
- if we are obligated to unveil or share your personal data to satisfy any legal requirement, or to enforce or apply terms pertinent to the Inedo service and other associated documents; or to safeguard the rights, property, or safety of Inedo, our users, or others. This encompasses sharing data with other firms and organizations for fraud prevention and credit risk mitigation purposes.
Where we store your personal data
The information you provide us is kept on our secured servers or those of our service providers. In instances where we’ve assigned you (or where you’ve selected) a password granting you entry to specific sections of our Platform, it is your responsibility to maintain its confidentiality. We urge you not to divulge your password to anyone.
Regrettably, no data transmission over the internet can be assured as entirely secure. While we strive to safeguard your personal data meticulously, we cannot affirm the absolute security of the data transmitted to our Platform; any transmission is undertaken at your own peril. Upon receiving your data, we implement stringent protocols and security mechanisms to deter unauthorized access.
Data Retention
We’ll hold on to your personal data only for the duration necessary to realize the objectives we gathered it for, encompassing compliance with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting obligations. Your personal data might be stored for an extended period if a complaint arises, or we have a reasonable ground to anticipate a potential dispute concerning our interaction with you.
The suitable period for retaining personal data is ascertained considering the volume, type, and sensitivity of the data, the impending risk of damage resulting from unauthorized disclosure or utilization of your personal data, the goals for which we are processing the data and if those objectives can be accomplished by other methods, alongside the relevant legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other stipulations.
Your Rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out below, please contact us at info at inedo dot com.
To remove your account from Inedo’s database, please contact us at the aforenoted address.
If you are needing to contact legal/DPO – email to the aforenoted addressed.
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data 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 data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
- Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
- Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
- You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the relocation of your personal data to either yourself or another party. We will supply your data in a structured, commonly accepted, machine-readable format to either you or a designated third party. Be aware that this right is applicable solely to automated data that you originally consented for us to process or data used in the fulfillment of a contract with you.
Revoke consent anytime if we are dependent on your consent to process your personal data. Nevertheless, this won’t influence the legality of processing done prior to the withdrawal of your consent. In situations where you retract consent, there might be limitations in offering certain products or services to you. We will inform you about any such limitations at the moment you revoke your consent.
No Standard Fee Required
Ordinarily, you won’t incur any fee to access your personal data or to exercise any of the accompanying rights. Yet, we might impose a reasonable fee for requests that are evidently baseless, repetitive, or excessive. Under these conditions, we reserve the right to decline compliance with the request.
Information We Might Need from You
To confirm your identity and validate your entitlement to access your personal data (or exercise any of your other rights), we might require specific details from you. This step is a precaution to ensure that personal data isn’t disclosed to anyone unauthorized to receive it. We might reach out for additional information concerning your request to expedite our response.
Response Time Frame
Our objective is to address all valid requests within a month. However, for particularly intricate or numerous requests, our response might exceed one month. In such instances, we will inform you and provide updates on the progress.
Complaints
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance at the aforenoted email address.
