It is the company’s policy to ensure that requests by individuals covered by this policy to exercise their rights in respect of their personal information are handled in accordance with applicable law.

15a. This policy applies to all individuals based in the EU (“EU Individuals”). EU Individuals may be employees or former employees, contractors, consumers, end-users, employees of customers, service providers, employees of service providers and any other person based in the EU whose personal information the company processes.

15b. For the purposes of this policy, “EU Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable EU Individual. An identifiable EU Individual is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier, such as a name, identification number or online identifier. “Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on EU Personal Data or sets of EU Personal Data, such as collection, use, storage, dissemination and destruction.

15c. This policy only applies to the EU Personal Data Processed by the company. Other individuals may also have rights regarding their personal information but they are not covered by this policy.

Right to Access EU Personal Data 

15d. EU Individuals have the right to request access to their EU Personal Data Processed by the company. Such requests are called subject access requests (“SARs”). EU Individuals can make SARs to find out what EU Personal Data the company has about them.

15e. When an EU Individual makes a SAR the company must, unless there is an exemption under applicable law (see Exemptions below), take the following steps:

  1. log the date on which the request was received by the company (to ensure that the relevant timeframe of one month for responding to the request is met);
  2. confirm the identity of the EU Individual who is the subject of the EU Personal Data (this may be very straightforward in the case of a current employee but more difficult in the case of, e.g., a historic prospective customer or former end-user). The company may request additional information from the EU Individual to confirm his/her identity;
  3. search databases, systems, applications and other places where the EU Personal Data which are the subject of the request may be held;
  4. confirm to the EU Individual whether or not EU Personal Data of the EU Individual making the SAR are being Processed;
  5. if EU Personal Data of the EU Individual are being Processed, provide the EU Individual with the following information in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language, in writing or by other (including electronic) means:
    1. the purposes of the Processing;
    2. the categories of EU Personal Data concerned (e.g., contact details, bank account information and details of sales activity);
    3. the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the EU Personal Data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients overseas (e.g. US-based service providers);
    4. where possible, the envisaged period for which the EU Personal Data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;

    7. where the EU Personal Data are not collected from the EU Individual, any available information as to their source;
    8. the existence of automated decision-making and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the EU Individual; and
    9. where EU Personal Data are transferred outside the EU, details of the appropriate safeguards to protect the EU Personal Data;
  6. review the EU Personal Data requested to see if they contain the personal data of other individuals. If they do, the company should consider redacting the personal data of those other individuals prior to providing the EU Individual with his/her EU Personal Data.
  7. provide the EU Individual with a copy of the EU Personal Data Processed by the company in a commonly used electronic form (unless the EU Individual either did not make the request by electronic means or has specifically requested not to be provided with the copy on electronic form) within one month of receipt of the request. If the request is complex, or there are a number of requests, the company may extend the period for responding by a further two months. If the company extends the period for responding it shall inform the EU Individual within one month of receipt of the request and explain the reason(s) for the delay; and
  8. if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, e.g. because of its repetitive character, the company may charge a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the EU Personal Data or refuse to act on the request.

  3. search databases, systems, applications and other places where the EU Personal Data which are the subject of the request may be held and provide the EU Individual with such data (or, at the EU Individual’s request, transmit the EU Personal Data directly to another company, where technically feasible) within one month of receipt of the request. If the request is complex, or there are a number of requests, the company may extend the period for responding by a further two months.

With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Frameworks, Partium is subject to the regulatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

Pursuant to the Privacy Shield Frameworks, EU individuals have the right to obtain our confirmation of whether we maintain personal information relating to you in the United States. Upon request, we will provide you with access to the personal information that we hold about you. You may also may correct, amend, or delete the personal information we hold about you. An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data transferred to the United States under Privacy Shield, should direct their query to legal@partium.io. If requested to remove data, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

We will provide an individual opt-out choice, or opt-in for sensitive data, before we share your data with third parties other than our agents, or before we use it for a purpose other than which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized. To request to limit the use and disclosure of your personal information, please submit a written request to legal@partium.io.

In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Partium’s accountability for personal data that it receives in the United States under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party is described in the Privacy Shield Principles. In particular, Partium remains responsible and liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if third-party agents that it engages to process the personal data on its behalf do so in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless Partium proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, Partium.io commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information transferred to the United States pursuant to Privacy Shield. European Union individuals with Privacy Shield inquiries or complaints should first contact Partium.io by email at legal@partium.io.

Partium has further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the Privacy Shield Principles to an independent dispute resolution mechanism, the BBB EU PRIVACY SHIELD, operated by the Council of Better Business Bureaus. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, please visit www.bbb.org/EU-privacy-shield/for-eu-consumers for more information and to file a complaint. This service is provided free of charge to you.

If your Privacy Shield complaint cannot be resolved through the above channels, under certain conditions, you may invoke binding arbitration for some residual claims not resolved by other redress mechanisms. See Privacy Shield Annex 1 at https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=ANNEX-I-introduction
