5. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4 above.

Within ATOZ Group.
External Third Parties as set out in the Preamble.
Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it 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 permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

In addition, we may have to share your personal data if subject to a judicial request by the competent authorities.

6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We share your personal data within the ATOZ Group. This will involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure your personal data is protected by requiring all our group companies to follow the same rules when processing your personal data.

Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is available by ensuring that at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
When we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts which give personal data the same protection as in Luxembourg.

7. DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those 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.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach when we are legally required to do so.

8. DATA RETENTION - HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA?

We will only retain your personal data as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see 9. Your Legal Rights, below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have the right, to the fullest extent permitted by Data Laws, upon request:

to access your personal data;
to correct your personal data if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
to object to the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances;
to ask for the removal or deletion of your personal data;
to ask for data portability under certain circumstances; and
to withdraw your 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 communication or services to you.

The above rights can be exercised by sending an email to ATOZ – at GDPR@atoz.lu

If you provide personal data to ATOZ Group about someone else you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that personal data to ATOZ Group and that, without our taking any further steps, ATOZ may collect, use and disclose that personal data as described in this privacy policy. In particular, you must ensure that the Data Subject is aware of the various matters detailed in this privacy policy, as these matters relate to that Data Subject, including ATOZ’s identity, how to contact ATOZ, ATOZ’s purposes of collection, ATOZ’s personal data disclosure practices (including disclosure to overseas recipients), the Data Subject's right to obtain access to Personal Data and make complaints about the handling of that Personal Data, and be informed of the consequences if the Personal Data is not provided (such as ATOZ’s inability to provide services).

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your 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.

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.

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 if you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated on the status of your request.
