Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Data you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

Right to access Personal Data

You have a right to request that we provide you with a copy of your Personal Data that we hold and you have the right to be informed of: (a) the Controller’s identity; (b) the purposes, legal basis and methods of Processing; (c) the source of your Personal Data; (d) the entities or categories of entities to whom your Personal Data may be transferred; and (e) where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period. In order to submit such request, please see the “How to Contact Us” section below.

Right to rectify or erase Personal Data

You have a right to request that we rectify inaccurate Personal Data. We may seek to verify the accuracy of the Personal Data before rectifying it. You can also request that we erase your Personal Data in limited circumstances where:

  • it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected;
  • you have withdrawn your Consent (where the Processing was based on Consent), and where there is no other legal ground for the Processing;
  • you successfully lodged a right to object (see right to object);
  • it has been processed unlawfully; or
  • needed to comply with a legal obligation to which Disaster Technologies is subject.

We are not required to comply with your request to erase Personal Data if the Processing of your Personal Data is necessary:

  • for compliance with a legal obligation; or
  • for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
  • for performance of a contract.

Right to restrict the Processing of your Personal Data

You can ask us to restrict your Personal Data, where:
  • its accuracy is contested, to allow us to verify its accuracy;
  • the Processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased;
  • it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
  • you have exercised the right to object, and verification of overriding grounds is pending.
We can continue to use your Personal Data following a request for restriction, where:
  • we have your Consent;
  • to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
  • to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

Right to transfer your Personal Data

You can ask us to provide your Personal Data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it transferred directly to another Controller, where:
  • the Processing is based on your Consent or the performance of a contract with you; and
  • the Processing is carried out by automated means.

Right to object to the Processing of your Personal Data

You can object to any Processing of your Personal Data which has our legitimate interests as its legal basis, if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests. If you raise an objection, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms.

Right to object to how we use your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes

You can request that we change the manner in which we contact you for marketing purposes. You can request that we do not transfer your Personal Data to unaffiliated third parties for the purposes of direct marketing or any other purposes.

You can ask to obtain a copy of, or reference to, the safeguards under which your Personal Data is transferred outside of the European Economic Area. We may redact data transfer agreements to protect commercial terms.

Right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority

You have a right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (a list of European Union and United Kingdom national data protection authorities can be found here) if you have concerns about how we are Processing your Personal Data. We ask that you please attempt to resolve any issues with us first, although you have a right to contact your supervisory authority at any time.

Your Rights and Choices

Subject to certain exemptions, and in some cases dependent upon the Processing we are undertaking, you have certain rights in relation to your Personal Data. We may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity and for security purposes, before disclosing the Personal Data requested to you. We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

California Residents

If you are a California resident, you may (i) obtain certain information regarding our disclosure of your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes, and/or (ii) at any time opt out of receiving marketing communications from us and/or request that we discontinue providing any of your personal information to unaffiliated third-parties, in each case by contacting us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section below. Please note that if you decide to opt out of receiving marketing communications or request that we discontinue providing your personal information, your change in preference will only affect future contacts; if the information already has been provided to third parties, they may continue to use it.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Services, you are responsible for keeping your password, username, or any other credential information (“Credentials”) confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you. You represent and warrant that you will not sell, share, or disclose your Credentials to others, and will not otherwise provide any other person with access to the Website or portions of it using your account. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer. Any action carried out through your Credentials will be deemed carried out by you, subject and up until such time that we have been informed in writing of either (i) your Credentials having been compromised, or (ii) your Credentials having been illegitimately used.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to the Services. Any transmission of Personal Data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services. Except as otherwise set forth under Applicable Law, we assume no liability or responsibility for disclosure of your information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access, or other causes beyond our control.

Retention of Data

We may retain information about you for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Some of your information may be retained in our systems even after you request your information to be deleted in order to comply with our obligations under Applicable Law, collect fees owed, resolve disputes, enforce our legal rights, otherwise use internally in a lawful manner that is reasonably aligned with the expectations of the user or compatible with the context in which the information was provided, and/or to undertake any investigations necessitated by the foregoing.
