Where we store your Personal Data

The data that we collect from you will be transferred to, and stored at, a destination within a destination outside of the UK or European Economic Area (“EEA”) including Russia. All Personal Data you provide to us is stored on our secure servers.

Unfortunately, the transmission of Personal Data via the internet is not completely secure.

Once we have received your data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Whenever we transfer your Personal Data (for example to suppliers who may be based somewhere else, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give Personal Data the same protection it has in Europe; or
• Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to Personal Data shared between the Europe and the US; or
• Where countries have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission, we may transfer your Personal Data to third parties based in those countries.

If you would like further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data outside of the EEA, then please contact us using the details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Your rights

Where you are located in the EEA, or where we are processing your Personal Data within the EEA, or in the context of our EEA business, you have a number of rights in relation to how we process your Personal Data. These include:

• the right access the Personal Data that we may hold about you;
• the right to rectify any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data that we may hold about you;
• the right to have your Personal Data erased in certain circumstances, for example, where it is no longer necessary for us to process your Personal Data to fulfil our processing purposes; where you object to your data being processed on certain grounds (for example, for marketing purposes) or where your Personal Data is being unlawfully processed;
• the right to object to our processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms;

How to exercise your data subject rights

You can exercise any of these rights any time by contacting us at support@kedoo.com.

No fee usually required. 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.

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 you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Retention

We will only retain your Personal Data for 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.
