YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances depending upon your state of residence,  you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. 

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. 

  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. 

  • Request removal of your personal data. 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.

  • Object to processing of your personal data 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 may 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. 

  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: text: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; text: (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; text: (c) 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; or text: (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. 

  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. 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. 

  • 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 products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. 

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

The laws in some jurisdictions require companies to tell you about the legal grounds that allow them to use or disclose your personal data. Where those laws apply, our legal grounds are: 

  • Legitimate interests: We often handle personal data because it furthers the legitimate interests of Pimloc (or of our customers, affiliates,  business partners, or suppliers) in business activities such as the ones listed below and because that handling of data does not unduly  impact your interests, rights, and freedoms: 

    • Facilitating free speech, artistic expression, and journalism; 

    • Providing customer service;

    • Some of our marketing and advertising activities; 

    • Analyzing and improving business activities; 

    • Protecting business activities, individuals, and property (for example, protecting against abuse of our Services); and - Managing risks and legal issues. 

Some of our processing of personal data is necessary to meet our contractual obligations to individuals, or to take steps at the person's request because we are planning to enter into a contract with them. 

  • Consent: 

    • If the law requires consent, and in some other cases, we handle personal data on the basis of consent. For example, we conduct some of our direct marketing on the basis of consent. 

    • If the law allows, we may be able to infer consent from the circumstances. 

    • Legal compliance: We sometimes need to use and disclose personal data to comply with our legal obligations. - Legal claims: Sometimes we use or disclose personal data because it is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
