1. Introduction
This GDPR Statement should be read in-conjunction with the Datacom Group Privacy Policy which is under a separate tab on our website, and this GDPR Statement applies to all EU Data Subjects (as defined below) in respect of any of their “Personal Data” (as defined in the GDPR).
For the purposes of this GDPR Statement:
EU Data Subject – means any living individual residing in an European Union Member State, and the United Kingdom;
GDPR – means Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and Council, and all applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations in any EU Member State or nation within the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
Generally, Datacom does not seek to directly collect or act as a “Controller” (as defined in the GDPR) of Personal Data of EU Data Subjects but may from time-to-time act as a “Processor” (as defined in the GDPR) – usually under the direction of a customer, supplier or business partner, and under a specific agreement with them.
It is possible however that Datacom may collect Personal Data if an EU Data Subject directly contacts Datacom (for example, in relation to potential employment or business opportunities), interacts with the Datacom website, portals or online forums, or otherwise shares Personal Data with Datacom.
2. Legal basis for collection of personal data of EU data subjects
Where Datacom does collect, use, store or transfers Personal Data, it uses that Personal Data to manage its relationship with its customers, suppliers, contractors, employment candidates, employees, business partners and other third parties (“covered individuals”) and better serve covered individuals by personalising their experience and interaction with Datacom. Such processing is done in compliance with applicable laws and agreements, including appropriate notice and consent.
3. EU data subjects rights
Where Datacom is a Controller or Processor of Personal Data of EU Data Subjects, then those individuals (i.e. you) have a right to:
- Request that we provide you with a copy of Personal Data that we collect, store or process and you have the right to be informed of the source of your Personal Data, the purpose of collection and legal basis, as well as the processing methods used by Datacom and to whom your Personal Data may be transferred.
- Request that we correct inaccurate Personal Data. We may seek to verify the accuracy of the Personal Data before correcting it.
- Request that we delete your Personal Data when it is no longer needed for the purpose under which it was collected or you withdraw your consent to use (subject to our legal obligations to retain historic records).
- Ask us:
- To restrict your Personal Data, where the Personal Data is not accurate or lawfully processed, or it is no longer needed for the purpose under which it was collected. We will only continue to use your Personal Data where we have your consent or to protect the rights of covered individuals or exercise legal rights.
- To provide your Personal Data to you in a readable format or have it transferred to another party for automated processing under consent or Service Agreement.
- Object to any processing of your Personal Data, if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our basis for collecting, soring or processing your Personal Data. You can also request that we change the manner in which we contact you for marking purposes or you can remove yourself from our marketing lists.
- We may not always be able to fully address your request, for example if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are legally required to retain Personal Data, or we are entitled to deal with the request in a different way.
4. How you can access, correct, update, restrict, or delete your personal data
If you wish to access, correct, update, restrict, or delete Personal Data that we hold about you, please write to us using the contact details set out in our Privacy Policy. One of our Datacom Privacy Officers will assist you.
5. Personal data transfer
Personal Information from EU Data Subjects will only be transferred outside of the European Economic Union or United Kingdom in accordance with the provisions and protections within the GDPR. Datacom uses a variety of lawful data transfer mechanisms for this purpose, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Datacom has an intragroup agreement on the transfer and processing of Personal Data and other personal information within the Datacom global group which has the EU Standard Contractual Clauses incorporated. This agreement allows Datacom to ensure that Personal Data originating from the European Economic Union or United Kingdom, which is transferred crossborder and processed by other Datacom entities, including those located outside the European Economic Union or United Kingdom, is adequately protected in accordance with the GDPR.
6. Children's privacy
Datacom does not knowingly collect information from children or minors and does not target its websites and services to children or minors. We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests.
7. Notification of changes
We may update this GDPR Statement from time to time. If we do, we will post the revised version, with an updated revision date.
8. Questions and Datacom representative
Any questions or complaints concerning this GDPR Statement or in relation to any Personal Data can be raised with a Datacom Privacy Officer at the contact details set out in the Datacom Privacy Policy.
