7. International Data Transfers
We may transfer personal data to countries outside of the EU or EEA as necessary for the purposes described above, including to countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Where such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
These safeguards may include: (a) transfers to countries recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection; (b) the use of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission; and (c) other safeguards provided by Articles 46 and 49 of the GDPR.
Where required by applicable law, you may request further information about the safeguards we use for international data transfers, including a copy of the relevant mechanisms, by contacting us using the details set out below.
8. Data Security
We protect personal data by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to safeguard it against accidental loss, destruction, alteration, unauthorised access, or disclosure. The level of security we apply is based on an assessment of the risks involved in the processing activity.
Examples of measures we use include:
- restricting access to personal data to staff and service providers on a need-to-know basis;
- pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data, where appropriate;
- security controls designed to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of our systems and services;
- backup and recovery measures to restore access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and
- regular testing and review of our technical and organisational measures, and staff training where appropriate, to help ensure those measures remain effective.
While we endeavour to always protect our systems, operations, and information from unauthorised access, use, alteration, or disclosure, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of personal data transmitted to or stored on our system.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes for which it was collected. When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the following criteria:
- retention requirements imposed by applicable law or regulation, including, for example, tax and accounting record-keeping obligations and related reporting or audit requirements;
- duration of the relevant contractual relationship and the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data;
- potential risk of harm resulting from unauthorised use or disclosure of the personal data;
- whether the data remains necessary and whether the same outcome can reasonably be achieved using less data; and
- applicable limitation periods, where we reasonably consider that retention is necessary in connection with potential legal claims.
In some circumstances we may anonymise personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you. Where data has been anonymised, it may be used for statistical or research purposes without further notice to you.
10. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal data. Details of such rights are set out below:
- Access. You have a right to know whether we process your personal data and, if so, to request a copy of that data. Please note that we cannot give you information that contains personal data about other people.
- Rectification. You may ask us to rectify your personal data you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.
- Erasure. You may ask us to delete your personal data in certain situations, including where: (a) it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected; (b) you withdraw your consent; (c) you successfully object to the processing; or (d) the data has been processed unlawfully. We may retain personal data where required or permitted by applicable law.
- Restriction. You may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, including where: (a) you contest its accuracy; (b) the processing is unlawful and you prefer restriction instead of deletion; (c) we no longer need the data but you ask us to keep it for legal claims; or (d) you have objected to processing and we are assessing whether our legitimate grounds override your interests. Where processing is restricted, we will store the data and only process it where permitted by law.
- Portability. You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to request that this data be transferred to another data controller, where the processing is based on your consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means.
- Objection. Where we process your personal data based on our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate an overriding reason why we need to use your personal data, or where the data is needed for legal claims. You may object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing.
- Withdraw Consent. If you have consented to our processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing which may have taken place prior to withdrawal of consent.
You may exercise any of your rights by contacting us at privacy@rocka.live. We may need to verify your identity or confirm that you are authorised to make the request. Where a request involves correcting or updating personal data, we may also take reasonable steps to verify the accuracy of the information provided before making any changes.
