6. HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SHARED?
Employees
Your Personal Information will, where appropriate, be shared with our relevant employees and consultants (or groups of them), who may be based in any of our locations. We employ a principle of least privilege at all times.
Third Parties
We use third party service providers as described in Section 11 (collectively “Sub-Processors”) to support our websites, products, and services. For example, we use service providers for data hosting, application development, and marketing. We may need to share your information with service providers to provide information about products or services to you. These SubProcessors are prohibited from using your Personal Information except for these purposes, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information. In all cases where we share your information in this way, we require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your Personal Information and to treat it in accordance with the law.
Forums
Our Website may offer message boards, blogs, and community forums. Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose any information through our message boards, blogs, or forums (including profile information associated with the account you use to post the information) it may be read, collected and used by anyone who accesses these websites. Your posts and certain profile information may remain even after you terminate your account. We urge you to consider the sensitivity of any information you may disclose in this way. We will correct or delete any information you have posted if you so request. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to and why.
Legal Compliance
We may disclose or allow government and law enforcement officials access to your Personal Information, in response to a subpoena, search warrant or court order (or similar requirement), or in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Such disclosure or access may occur if we believe in good faith that: (a) we are legally compelled to do so; (b) disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activity, fraud, or other wrongdoing; or (c) such disclosure is required to protect our legitimate business interests, including the security or integrity of our products and services.
Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies
We may share Personal Information internally within our group, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Business Transfer
Should True Sales or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates undergo any change in control or ownership, including by means of merger, acquisition or purchase of substantially all or part of its assets, personal data may be shared with or transferred to the parties involved in such an event. We may disclose Personal Information to a third-party during negotiation of, in connection with or as an asset in such a corporate business transaction. Personal Information may also be disclosed in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership.
For the avoidance of doubt, True Sales may share Personal Information in additional manners, pursuant to your explicit approval, or if we are legally obligated to do so, or if we have successfully rendered such data non-personal, non-identifiable and anonymous. We may transfer, share or otherwise use non-personal and non-identifiable data at our sole discretion and without the need for further approval.
7. DATA STORAGE AND SECURITY
We and our authorized Sub-Processors maintain, store and process personal data in the United States of America, Europe, New Zealand and other locations, as reasonably necessary for the proper performance and delivery of our services, or as may be required by law. SIA is committed to protect personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and customary industry standards, and such appropriate lawful mechanisms and contractual terms requiring adequate data protection, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in the jurisdiction to which such data is transferred.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know such data. They will only process your Personal Information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality
We keep these arrangements under regular review, taking into account security and compliance best practices, current risks, threats, vulnerabilities, mitigating controls, technology, and changes in applicable legal requirements. However, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Information transmitted to our website – and any such transmission is at your own risk.
8. DATA BREACHES
If a data breach (leading to the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your Personal Information) occurs which is likely to result in a high risk of adversely affecting your rights and freedoms, we will inform you of this without undue delay
9. DATA RETENTION
We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data, see Section 10 below for further information.
We may anonymise your Personal Information (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.
10. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Individuals have rights concerning their Personal Information. Please contact us by e-mail at alex@truesales.academy.co if you wish to exercise your privacy rights under any applicable law, including the GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), or the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA). Such rights may include – to the extent applicable – the right to know/request access to (specific pieces of personal data collected; categories of personal data collected; categories of sources from whom the personal data was collected; purpose of collecting personal data; categories of third parties with whom we have shared personal data), to request a copy of your personal information, to request rectification or erasure of your personal data held with us, or where consent is the legal basis for collecting the information to withdraw consent, or to restrict or object to such personal data processing (including the right to direct us not to sell your personal data to third parties now or in the future), or to port such personal data, or the right to equal services and prices (e.g. freedom from discrimination) (each to the extent available to you under the laws which apply to you).
You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Information (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. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Information 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. If your request relates to Personal Information that may be processed on our Customer’s behalf, as their “data processor”, note that such Customer exclusively determines how such data is processed, as well as if and how your request should be handled – so we advise that you submit your request directly to them. 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. We hope to address any enquiry or request to your satisfaction, but if we do not, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection regulator in the country where you normally live or work, or where an alleged breach of data protection is said to have occurred.
