You have given your consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more specific purposes (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). If you have given your consent, you can withdraw this consent at any time, by clicking the opt-out link in an email received or as set out in Section 5. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the consent withdrawal.
The provision of your personal data is generally not required by a statutory or contractual obligation. However, the provision of certain of your personal data is necessary to visit our Website, to enter into a contract with us or to receive our services/products or information as requested by you. In certain cases, the provision of your personal data is voluntary.
Not providing your personal data may result in disadvantages for you – for example, you may not be able to receive certain products and services or use the Website with all its functionalities. However, unless otherwise specified, not providing your personal data will not result in legal consequences for you.
(i) Recipients
You should expect that we will transfer your personal data to third parties for the processing purposes described above as follows:
Any access to your personal data is restricted to those individuals that have a need-to-know in order to fulfill their job responsibilities. Transcom will also disclose your personal data as required or permitted by applicable law to professional advisors, governmental authorities, and courts.
(ii) International transfers
You should expect that the recipients above which will receive or have access to your personal data, are located inside or outside the European Economic Area ("EEA").
For recipients located outside of the EEA, some are located in countries with adequacy decisions pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, others in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European data protection law perspective. However, we will take all necessary measures to ensure that transfers out of the EEA are adequately protected as required by applicable data protection law.
With respect to transfers to countries not providing an adequate level of data protection, we will base the transfer on appropriate safeguards, such as binding corporate rules (Art. 46(2)(b), 47 GDPR), standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission or by a supervisory authority (Art. 46(2)(c) or (d) GDPR), approved codes of conduct together with binding and enforceable commitments of the recipient (Art. 46(2)(e) GDPR), or approved certification mechanisms together with binding and enforceable commitments of the recipient (Art. 46(2)(f) GDPR). You can ask for a copy of such appropriate safeguards by contacting us as set out in Section 9 below.
Where this is not possible, we only transfer personal data to a third country, if one of the exceptions according to Article 49 GDPR applies, in particular your express consent or the necessity of the transfer for the performance of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
If a transfer to a third country takes place and there is no adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards are applicable, it is possible and there is a risk that authorities in the respective third country (e.g. intelligence agencies) may gain access to the transferred data in order to record and analyze it, and that the enforceability of your data subject rights cannot be warranted.
Your personal data will be retained as long as necessary to provide you with the services and products requested. Once you have terminated the contractual relationship with us, you have deleted your account, or the relationship with us has been otherwise ended, we will remove your personal data from our systems and records and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it (unless we need to keep your information to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which Transcom is subject – e.g., taxation purposes).
Personal data will in principle be deleted 2 years after the last interaction and business contact between you and Transcom. However, we will retain your contact details and interests in our products or services for a longer period of time if Transcom is allowed to send you marketing materials. Also, we typically erase contracts, communications, and business letters containing personal data, or we redact personal data from such documents, 10 years after their termination or creation, as such data may be subject to statutory retention requirements, which often require retention of up to 10 years.
We may also retain your personal data on a need to know basis only after the termination of the contractual relationship if your personal data are necessary to comply with other applicable laws or if we need your personal data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim. To the extent possible, we will restrict the processing of your personal data for such limited purposes after the termination of the contractual relationship.
Right to withdraw your consent: If you have given your consent regarding certain types of processing activities (in particular regarding the receipt of certain direct marketing communications), you can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the consent withdrawal. You can withdraw your consent by writing to Communications@transcom.com
