MARKETING & OPTING OUT

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

If you have not previously purchased from us but have registered your information with us (e.g. by entering a contest or signing up for a newsletter), we will only send you marketing communications if you have opted to receive marketing at that time and have given us your express consent. However, we will still need to send occasional service-related messages if you receive a service from us.

Before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes, we will get your express opt-in consent. We require that all third parties respect the security and treatment of your personal data in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only allow them, in accordance with our instructions, to process your personal data for specified purposes.

You have the option to unsubscribe from our e-mails through a link at the bottom of every e-mail we send to you.

WHERE YOUR DATA IS STORED

All data you provide to us is stored on our secure servers in The Netherlands.

RETENTION TIME

Your data shall be retained only for the time necessary to provide, or to fulfil the purpose described in this policy, the service or product you request.

Details of your orders will be kept for as long as we need to retain that data to comply with our legal and regulatory requirements. This is generally 5 years unless the law prescribes a longer period.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we only give access to your personal data to employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under GDPR in relation to your personal data. You have the right to;

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Request erasure 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 for example where you consider that we do not need it any longer for the purposes for which we originally collected it as explained to you in this Privacy Policy, where you have withdrawn your consent to our using it and we had relied on that consent according to this Policy, where you consider that we cannot show a ‘legitimate interest’ in continuing to process it and we have relied on that legitimate interest to process it as explained to you in this Policy. 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.
  4. 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 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.
  5. Request restrictions on the processing of personal data concerning you. This allows you to ask us to suspend your personal data processing 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; or
    • you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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 may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
  9. 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.
  10. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may 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.

You can also exercise your rights at any time by contacting us at info@asteroiddaily.com.
