GDPR PRIVACY NOTICE

This Notice is for people who are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland or the United Kingdom (“UK”) and supplements our general Privacy Notice.  Our processing of personal data of people who are in the EEA is governed by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”).  Our processing of personal data of people who are in the UK is subject to the Data Protection Act 2018, which incorporates the GDPR as the UK GDPR.  This Notice refers to the GDPR and the UK GDPR collectively as the “GDPR”.  For the sake of administrative efficiency, this Notice applies to people in Switzerland as well as people in the EEA or UK.  However, this does not limit any additional right that people in Switzerland may have.

The GDPR requires us to provide certain information to you about your personal data, which we refer to in this notice as your personal information.

PURPOSE AND LAWFUL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING

Generally, we process personal information for the purpose of, and based on, our legitimate interests in conducting our business.  Where we ask for your consent, we process personal information on the basis of that consent. 

We may also process personal information on other bases permitted by the GDPR and applicable laws, such as when the processing is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations.

RECIPIENTS OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use various service providers to manage our website and create promotional material. Our service providers change from time to time.  If you would like specific information about our service providers who have received your information, please contact us at team@group14.technology. 

INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (EEA)

Group14’s main offices are based in the USA and that’s where we process personal information collected for promotional material.  When you provide personal information to us, we request your consent to transfer that personal information to the USA.  The USA does not have an adequacy decision from the European Commission, which means that the Commission has not determined that the laws of the USA provide adequate protection for personal information.  Although the laws of the USA do not provide legal protection that is equivalent to EU data protection laws, we safeguard your personal information by treating it in accordance with this GDPR Privacy Notice.  We take appropriate steps to protect your privacy and implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information in storage. We use secure transmission methods to collect personal data through our website.  

RETENTION PERIOD FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION

How long we retain personal information varies according to the type of information in question and the purpose for which it is used.  We delete personal information within a reasonable period after we no longer need to use it for the purpose for which it was collected (or for any subsequent purpose that is compatible with the original purpose).  This does not affect your right to request that we delete your personal data before the end of its retention period.  We may archive personal data (which means storing it in inactive files) for a certain period prior to its final deletion, as part of our ordinary business continuity procedures.

YOUR DATA SUBJECT ACCESS RIGHTS

You have the right to request access to your personal data, to have your personal data corrected, restricted, or deleted, to withdraw any consent that you have given to the processing of your personal data (without affecting the lawfulness of the processing prior to your withdrawal of consent) and to object to our processing of your personal data.  You also have the right of data portability in certain circumstances, which means that you can request that we provide you (or a third party you designate) with a transferable copy of personal information that you have provided to us.  Your rights may be subject to various limitations under the GDPR.  If you wish to exercise any of these rights, or if you have any concerns about our processing of your personal data, please contact us at team@group14.technology.

In addition, if you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom and you have any complaints about how we use your personal information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country. A list of data protection authorities is available at: http://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/article29/item-detail.cfm?item_id=612080.

REVISIONS

We reserve the right to revise this Notice or any part of it from time to time. We will endeavor to provide notice of any material changes at www.group14.technology.
