User's personal data may be transferred to third countries (outside the EEA) or to international organizations if the transfer is necessary and has a legal basis as described in this document. Such transfers take place for example:
- When necessary to carry out and in the context of transactions (e.g. card transactions, payment orders to third countries, through correspondent bank in third country);
- Under applicable law;
- On the basis of User's instructions or consent;
- In the context of data processing undertaken by third parties on Slash behalf. (e.g. the data may also be processed by staff operating outside of the EEA who work for Slash or for one of our third party service providers or Slash affiliated companies. Such staff may be performing technical duties and support, duties related to processing of User's orders, provision of support services etc.).
The processors (or controllers) in third countries in this case shall be either approved by the European Commission as providing adequate level of data protection or shall be have in place appropriate safeguards with the level of data protection in the EU. Slash aims to take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that User's data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy (e.g. requirement to observe privacy standards equivalent to Slash's, maintaining security standards and procedures to prevent unauthorised access, use of technology such as encryption and firewalls) to protect the security of data in transit and at rest).
Slash has in place internal procedures for secure processing of personal data in order to protect data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. Slash uses its best efforts to limit access to personal data to persons on a need to know basis, and that persons who have access are required to maintain its confidentiality. However, security cannot be absolutely guaranteed against all threats despite our best efforts. Transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Slash cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted via email, to Website or online resources; such transmissions are at User's risk. User is responsible for keeping the User credentials secure and confidential and not to disclose them to any persons.
As data subjects, Users have the following rights afforded under data protection law in respect of the personal data, which Slash holds as a controller. Users should note that the rights are not absolute and may be limited due to a legal basis replied upon by us to process User's data.
As the majority of processing Slash performs is a consequence of legal obligations, some of the rights may be limited by the legal and regulatory requirements or legitimate interests.
Right of access: right to obtain a copy of User's personal data. User can request a copy of the personal data retained and a confirmation from Slash whether personal data is processed or not.
Request correction of incorrect personal data. User can request a correction of incorrect or incomplete data kept by Slash. In such a case, Slash may need to verify the accuracy of the data Slash has and data provided and take steps to correct its records.
Object to the processing of personal data. User can object to the processing of personal data by Slash and request us to stop using the data in certain circumstances such as:
- Processing is conducted on the lawful ground of legitimate interest or of serving the public interest; however User objects on grounds relating to User's particular situation. In such a case, Slash may continue processing if Slash demonstrates that it has compelling legal grounds for processing which override User's rights or that processing is necessary to establish, exercise of defend a legal claim. User should note that despite the objection, Slash may continue to use User's personal data. This will be in cases where processing is required in compliance with legal obligations (the requirements of legal obligations to process and retain data will supersede any right to objection.).
- Processing is conducted for marketing purposes. In certain circumstances, if User objects to the processing of certain personal data, Slash may not be able to provide Services and may need to terminate provision of services.
Right to erasure ("to be forgotten"). User can request erasure of User's personal data (depending on the circumstances and agreements in place) where:
- Processing is no longer required for the reasons the data was collected or processed;
- Slash is relying on consent as a legal basis, and User withdraws the consent;
- User has objected to the processing of data;
- The data has been unlawfully processed (i.e. breach of legal basis requirement).
- Required by law.
Slash may continue to retain User's data if another legitimate reason for doing so exists. Slash's requirements to comply with legal obligations (record-keeping requirements in particular) to process and retain certain data will supersede any right to erasure requests, and Slash may also continue to retain/use User's data if another legitimate reason for doing so exists (for exercise of legal claims and or serving in the public interest).
Restriction of processing of personal data. User can request that Slash restricts/suspends the use of personal data if:
- User requested that Slash verifies the accuracy of personal data it has;
- Processing is unlawful but User does not request its erasure;
- Processing and retention of data is no longer needed by Slash, but User wishes that Slash retains it as this data is required by User to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim;
- User have objected to the processing of data and is waiting for verification on Slash's overriding legitimate interest.
In some cases restriction might prevent Slash from performing its obligations under the contractual relationship with User. In such event, Slash will notify User accordingly.
Withdrawal of consent. If Slash is relying on the lawful basis of User's consent (i.e. Slash requested and User provided his/her consent), User can withdraw such consent at any time. Slash may continue to process User's information if another lawful basis exists for doing so. If Slash is unable to provide User with Services due to the withdrawal of consent, Slash will inform User accordingly.
Data portability. User can request from Slash to provide personal data to User directly in an easily re-used format or to a third party if technically possible. This right applies only to personal information provided by User to Slash for the performance of contractual relationship with Slash, or which Slash processes based on User's consent. This right may not be fully applicable in cases where the processing is done due to a legal obligation of Slash.
