In  particular your information may be transferred to and/or stored on the servers of our  Affiliates or other third parties identified in paragraph 6 which are based outside of the  EEA. Transfers to external parties based outside the UK are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK.

Transfers of personal data to the EEA from the UK are permitted without additional safeguards.

7.2. However, we will not transfer your personal data outside of the EEA unless:

7.2.2.appropriate safeguards are in place as set out in Article 46 UK GDPR or equivalent  provisions of subsequent Data Protection Legislation; or 

7.2.3.the transfer is otherwise allowed by applicable Data Protection Legislation (such as in the form of a derogation under Article 49 UK GDPR or by using specific approved contracts which ensure the same levels of personal data protection that apply under the Data Protection Legislation. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries). 

 

By giving us your personal data, you agree to these arrangements. Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data internationally.

8.1. Subject to any conditions or requirements set out in the relevant Data Protection Legislation, you may have some or all of the following rights in relation to the personal data  we hold about you: 

8.1.1.the right to request a copy of your personal data held by us (commonly known as a "data subject access request") and to check that we are lawfully processing it; 

8.1.2.the right to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by us. You can deactivate your account, or amend any personal data which cannot be modified online,  by emailing us at hello@wearetapin.com. 

8.1.3.the right to request that we erase the personal data we hold about you. 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; 

8.1.4.the right to request that we restrict the processing of your 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; 

8.1.5.the right to have your personal data transferred to you or to another organisation. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you; 

8.1.6.the right to object to certain types of processing of your personal data by us 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; and 

8.1.7.the right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. 

8.2. Please note however that these rights are not absolute in all situations and may be subject  to conditions and provisos set out in relevant Data Protection Legislation. The Company cannot therefore guarantee that any request from you in connection with the rights set out above will be agreed to. For further information, or to see if you can exercise any particular right, please contact us at hello@wearetapin.com. 

8.3 You also have the right to ask us not to continue to process your personal data for marketing purposes. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

8.4 We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

8.5 We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. In the case of subject access requests, normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within one month. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.

8.6 If you require any information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in paragraph 12. Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

9.3. For as long as we do store your data, the Company follows generally accepted industry standards and maintains reasonable safeguards to attempt to ensure the security, integrity,  and privacy of the information you have provided.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide through  the Channels. In addition, you are responsible for maintaining the strength and confidentiality of your login credentials (if any). 

9.5. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you (and any applicable regulator where we are legally required to do so) as soon as reasonably practicable if we have reason to believe that there has been a personal data breach by us which could adversely affect your rights and freedoms.
