We do not collect any “special categories of personal data” about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). We also do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

How is your personal data obtained?

We use different methods to collect personal data from and about you including through:

Marketing

With regard to marketing-related communications (whether by e-mail, telephone, post, social media or otherwise) and direct marketing activities, we differentiate between individual consumers and individuals who are representatives of a business or organization.

• we will only provide you with direct marketing communications by e-mail where you have consented to receive such communications.
• we may from time to time contact you by post or by telephone with direct marketing communications where we feel that this may be relevant to you (based on services that we have previously provided to you) and you have not previously opted out of receiving such communications. When we use your personal data for such purposes, we do so on the basis that it is in our legitimate interests to pursue direct marketing, provided that it constitutes fair processing of your personal data to do so.

If you represent another business (e.g., a Client contact, Prospect contact or corporate business contact):

• we may from time to time contact you and provide you with direct marketing communications in any format (by e-mail, telephone, post, social media or otherwise) where we feel that this may be relevant to your business (provided that you have not opted out of such communications).

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing-related communications, this opt-out will not apply to personal data provided to us for any other purpose.

With whom do we share your personal data?

For the purposes of providing our products and services to our Clients where we are acting as controllers, we may share information about our Client (and the relevant Client contacts) with Prospects and we may share information about Prospects (and the relevant Prospect contacts) with our Clients.

Where we are acting as a data processor on behalf of a Client, we may transfer personal data of Client contacts, Prospects and Prospect contacts to such Client or to a third party in accordance with instructions received from the relevant Client. In those circumstances, the privacy statement of the relevant Client will be applicable.

There may be other circumstances in which we may need to share your personal data with certain third parties (strictly on a confidential, business need-to-know basis), acting in our capacity as controllers. The third parties to which we may transfer your personal data include:

• any member of Televerde for the purposes of fulfilment of contracts with Clients, group restructuring, internal reporting, risk management, product/service diversification and compliance with this privacy notice (for example to ensure that all members of Televerde comply with a withdrawal of consent to processing).
• your business or organization, for the purpose of providing our services to your business or organization or receiving products or services from your business or organization or working together with your business or organization.
• accreditation bodies and trade associations.
• service providers (acting as processors) who provide IT and system administration services, including cloud storage, a live chat facility and a webinar facility.
• service providers (acting as processors) who provide advertising and marketing services.
• service providers (acting as processors) who provide data and marketing analysis services.
• service providers (acting as processors) who provide event management services.
• professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, accountants, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
• banks or other finance providers.
• any relevant regulatory authority or law enforcement agency, including Inland Revenue Service (US), HM Revenue & Customs (UK), any other relevant tax authority, and courts or tribunals where we are legally obliged to disclose personal data or if we need to do so in order to protect our legal rights or those of a third party.
• 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 notice.

Any sharing of your personal data (where we are acting as controllers) will only take place either where you have provided your consent to such sharing, where we are legally obliged to do so, where it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or where it is in our legitimate interests to do so, including as follows:

• to perform (including enforce) a contract with our Clients;
• to perform (including enforce) a contract with our sub-contractors and suppliers;
• to maintain network and information security;
• to develop and improve our products and services in order to remain competitive;

International transfers

Televerde is a global group of companies which provides products and services and engages third party service providers within as well as outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). As a consequence, whenever Televerde is processing personal data originating in the EEA in accordance with this privacy notice, Televerde may transfer such personal data to countries and territories outside of the EEA.

Whenever we are required to transfer your personal data originating within the EEA outside of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that appropriate safeguards are implemented, including any of the following:

• We may transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.
• Where we use certain service providers and for intra-group transfers within Televerde, we use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
• Where we use service providers based in the USA, we may transfer data to them if they adhere to the Department of Commerce’s Data Privacy Framework’s requirements for onward transfers to vendors, which requires adherence to Data Privacy Framework Principles for all personal information received from countries in the EEA. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Data Privacy Framework site. Please note that our parent company, Televerde US, is registered with the Data Privacy Framework (see below at paragraph 22 (EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and Swiss/US Data Privacy Framework) for further details.
• We may transfer your personal data to countries outside of the EEA with your explicit consent.

Automated decision making or profiling

We do not use automated decision-making (including profiling) to make any decisions which would produce a legal or similarly significant effect on a data subject.

How long do we retain your personal data?

We will not retain your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed. This means that your data will only be retained for as long as it is still required to provide you with services or is necessary for legal reasons.

Generally speaking, we will usually retain your personal data for 180 days following expiry of any contracts or arrangements between us, unless we are obliged to retain your personal data for a longer period as a result of an overriding legal obligation or in order to establish, defend or exercise legal rights.

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 unauthorized 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. Using these criteria, we regularly review the personal data which we hold and the purposes for which it is held and processed.

When we determine that personal data can no longer be retained (including where you exercise a right of erasure (see below for further details), we ensure that this data is securely deleted or destroyed. For more details about our retention periods, please email us at privacy@televerde.com.

Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized 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 the relevant data protection supervisory authority of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data security – Registered Website Users

PROTECTING YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. While we use commercially reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing our files or tampering with the Website, we cannot guarantee that these efforts will always be successful.

WE DO NOT REPRESENT, WARRANT, OR GUARANTEE THAT OUR SAFEGUARDS WILL PROTECT THE PERSONAL DATA ABOUT YOU. PERSONAL DATA ABOUT YOU MAY BE ACCESSED AND VIEWED BY OTHER INTERNET USERS, WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND PERMISSION, WHILE IN TRANSIT TO OR FROM US. WE CANNOT AND DO NOT ENSURE, REPRESENT, WARRANT, OR GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION YOU TRANSMIT THROUGH THE WEBSITE.

Your rights

With regard to any personal data that is processed by Televerde, you may:

• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
• Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, following your request.
• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
• Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party (data portability). We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
• Withdraw 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 products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details above at paragraph 3 (How to contact us).

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.

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 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.

California Residents

We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (together, “CCPA”). The CCPA provides California residents (“consumers” or “you”) with specific rights regarding the processing of their personal information. This section explains how we collect, use, retain, and disclose personal information about California residents, the rights afforded to California residents under the CCPA, and how to exercise those rights. Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this section.

CCPA Categories of Personal Information We Collect

As defined by the CCPA, we collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household (“Personal Information”). You have the right to know what kinds of personal information we collect, how we obtain and use that information, and our business purposes for that collection.

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have collected the following categories of Personal Information about California consumers. We may collect this personal information directly from you and from your interactions with our Website (for example, from forms you complete or services you conduct).

We use and retain this personal information for the purposes outlined in this Policy. For additional details regarding the personal information we collect and where it is collected, please refer to, WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT.

As described, our Website and offerings are intended for adult audiences and are not directed to, or intended for, children, and we do not knowingly collect, sell, or share personal information from individuals under the age of thirteen (13).

CCPA Categories of Personal Information We Share

We do not collect, share, or sell any sensitive personal information, as described in the CCPA.

Purpose for Collection

The CCPA requires us to describe the “business purposes” for which we may collect or disclose your personal information. We may disclose your personal information to fulfill and support the purpose for which you provided the information, such as inquiries regarding our services, or organizational purposes, security purposes, and legal and compliance purposes, as further described in this Policy. In the preceding twelve (12) months, and where applicable, we have disclosed each of these categories to our service providers, subsidiaries and affiliates, contractors, and other third parties, in line with the applicable purpose(s) as described in this Policy.

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

Your Rights Under the CCPA

The CCPA provides Californians with the following rights:

• Right to Know and Request Information. Under the CCPA, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, share and sell about you. You can also request that we that we disclose how we have collected, used, and disclosed your personal information over the past twelve (12) months, including the categories of personal information we collected, the categories of sources for that information, the categories of third parties with whom we shared it or disclosed such information, and the business purpose for that information.

• Right to Correct Personal Information. You have the right to request we correct personal information we collect and maintain about you, if such personal information is inaccurate. Upon verifying the validity of the verifiable consumer request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct your personal information as directed, taking in to account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of maintaining the personal information.

• Right to Delete Personal Information. You have the right to request that we delete personal information we collected and maintain about you. We honor such requests unless an exception applies, such as when the information is necessary to complete the transaction or contract for which the personal information was collected, comply with state and federal laws, or comply with a legal obligation.

• Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information. You have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal data. We may share your personal information with a third party for a business purpose, as described in our Privacy Policy, which may be considered a “sale” of personal data under the CCPA. You can opt out of the sharing of your personal information with third parties as described in this Privacy Policy.

• Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal data to certain purposes specified by law. We do not sell sensitive personal data, so we do not offer an opt out.

• Right of No Retaliation. The CCPA prohibits businesses from discriminating against you for exercising your CCPA rights. Such discrimination may include denying services, charging different prices or rates for services, providing a different level or quality of services, or suggesting that you will receive a different level or quality of goods or services as a result of exercising your rights. We may, however, offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels.

Exercising Your Rights Under the CCPA

We respond to verifiable requests received from individuals who wish to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. If you would like to exercise your privacy rights under CCPA, or are an Authorized Agent making a request on behalf of a California consumer, please submit a request via email at privacy@televerde.com or dataprotection.officer@televerde.com.

The information you provide will be used only to help verify and process your request. If you are an Authorized Agent, we reserve the right to request you demonstrate evidence of your authorization, either by providing us with a signed permission form or a copy of your power-of-attorney granting you such authority.

After submitting your request, please monitor your email for any follow-up communications from us. We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
