ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”)
You may lodge a complaint with a data protection authority for your country or region or where an alleged infringement of applicable data protection law occurs. A list of data protection authorities is available https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en.
For the purposes of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) The Shawn Mendes Foundation and The Shawn Mendes Foundation Canada are data controller(s). This section of the privacy policy includes information that is specific to how we process the personal data of supporters and donors that are based in the UK and EU.
Our Legal basis for Using Data: Data controllers need a lawful basis to collect and use your personal data under EU data protection law. The law allows for six ways to process personal data (and additional ways for sensitive personal data). Three of these are relevant to the types of processing that the SMF carries out. This includes information that is processed on the basis of:
A person’s consent;
Processing that is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, such as processing a donation; and
SMF’s legitimate interests.
Personal data may be legally collected and used if it is necessary for a legitimate interest of the organisation using the data, as long as that interest is not overridden by the privacy rights of the individual whose data is being used. SMF’s legitimate interests include the legitimate interests that are outlined in the section entitled “Why We Collect Personal information” above.
If you would like to change our use of your personal data in this manner, please get in touch with us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below.
How Long We Retain Data: We will keep your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, in accordance with our internal policies. The length of time that data will be kept may depend on the reasons for which we are processing the data and on the applicable laws or regulations that the information falls under such as financial regulations, statutory limitation periods or any contractual obligation we might have.
If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you on our suppression list in order to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.
Transfers Outside of the EEA As SMF is based in Canada any personal data that you provide to us via the Website will be transferred to and held in Canada. Data transfers that are made from the EEA to SMF in Canada will be conducted securely and in accordance with applicable laws.
Your Rights: You have a number of rights under EU data protection legislation. These include:
Right of Access: You have the right know what information we hold about you and to ask, in writing, to see your records. We will supply any information you ask for that we hold about you as soon as possible, but this may take up to 30 days. We will not charge you for this. You will be asked for proof of identity as the person dealing with your request may not be the staff member you have met before. We need to be sure we are only releasing your personal data to you. This is called a data subject access and can be done by writing to us using the “Contact Us” details.
Right to be Informed: You have the right to be informed how your personal data will be used. This policy as well as any additional information or notice that is provided to you either at the time you provided your details, or otherwise, is intended to provide you with this information.
Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we process your data on the basis of your consent (for example, to send you marketing emails) you can withdraw that consent at any time. To do this, or to discuss this right further with us, please contact us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below.
Right to Object: You also have a right to object to us processing data where we are relying on it being within our legitimate interests to do so (for example, to send you direct marketing by post). To do this, or to discuss this right further with us, please contact us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below.
Right to Restrict Processing: In certain situations, you have the right to ask for processing of your personal data to be restricted because there is some disagreement about its accuracy or legitimate usage.
Right of Erasure: In some cases, you have the right to be forgotten (i.e. to have your personal data deleted from our database). Where you have requested that we do not send you marketing materials we will need to keep some limited information in order to ensure that you are not contacted in the future.
Right of Rectification: If you believe our records are inaccurate you have the right to ask for those records concerning you to be updated. To update your records please get in touch with us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below.
Right to Data Portability: Where we are processing your personal data because you have given us your consent to do so, you have the right to request that the data is transferred from one service provider to another.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing of your personal information which produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, unless such a decision (a) is necessary to enter into/perform a contract between you and us/another organisation, (b) is authorised by EU or Member State law to which the SMF is subject (as long as that law offers you sufficient protection); or (c) is based on your explicit consent.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please get in touch with us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below. If you are unhappy with the way in which we have handled your personal data, please contact us using the details below.
