5. Legal Basis of Processing

We collect, use and store your personal data to comply with the legal obligations we are subject to, if necessary for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, for the execution of an agreement, or on the basis of your consent.

When we process your personal data for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, we have balanced these interests against your legitimate interests. Where necessary we have taken appropriate measures to limit implications and prevent unwarranted harm to you. Our legitimate interests may, for example, include security and safety purposes, to improve our website, or to provide better services and offers to you.

The fulfillment of legal obligations by us (Article 6 (1) (c) of GDPR);

The legitimate interest of us (Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR), such as: the organization of the entire Company activity for the purpose of carrying out the activity; Scheduling of IT applications; solving complaints and requests received from clients or other interested persons; initiating and conducting litigation by courts of law and (possibly) other public authorities;

Company may transfer your personal data to countries other than your country of residence, including but not limited to countries outside Canada and the European Economic Area. International transferring occurs in the course of providing your services. Partners or service providers have operations in countries across the world. The laws of these countries may not afford the same level of protection to your personal data.

Company ensures that proper and required protection is in place to comply with the requirements for the international transfer of personal data under applicable privacy laws. For transfers of personal data outside Canada and/or the European Economic Area, Company may use European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses as safeguards.

9. Your rights

You may contact us (please see par. 11 “How to contact us” below) to exercise any of the rights you are granted under applicable data protection laws, which includes the following:

Right to access – You may ask us whether or not we process any of your personal data and, if so, receive access to that personal data in the form of a copy. When complying with an access request, we will also provide you with additional information necessary for you to exercise the essence of this right.

Right to rectification – You may have your personal data rectified in case of inaccuracy or incompleteness. Upon request, we will correct inaccurate personal data about you and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, complete incomplete personal data, which may include the provision of a supplementary statement.

Right to restriction of Processing – You may obtain a restriction of the processing of your personal data, which means that we suspend the processing of your data for a certain period of time. Circumstances which may give rise to this right include situations where the accuracy of your personal data was contested but some time is needed for us to verify their (in)accuracy. This right does not prevent us from continuing storing your personal data. We will inform you before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure – You may have your personal data erased, which means the deletion of your data by us and, where possible, by any other controller to whom your data has previously been made public by us. Erasure of your personal data only finds a place in certain cases, prescribed by law and listed under article 17 of the GDPR. Due to the way we maintain certain services, it may take some time before backup copies are erased.

Right to data portability – You may request us to provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to have such data transmitted directly to another controller, where technically feasible. Upon request and where this is technically feasible, we will transmit your personal data directly to the other controller.

Right to object – You may object to the processing of your personal data, which means you may request us to no longer process your personal data. This only applies in case the ‘legitimate interests’ ground constitutes the legal basis for processing (par. 5 “Legal Basis of Processing” above).

Under conditions, we are entitled to deny or restrict your rights as described above. In any case, we will carefully assess whether such an exemption applies and inform you accordingly.

We may, for example, deny your request for access when necessary to protect the rights and freedoms of other individuals or refuse to delete your personal data in case the processing of such data is necessary for compliance with legal obligations.
