9               Your rights as a data subject

If you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your personal data and, if so, provide you with a copy of that personal data (along with certain other details). If you require additional copies, we may charge a reasonable fee for producing those additional copies.

Your right to rectification

If the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to have it rectified. If we have shared your personal data with others, we’ll let them know about the rectification where possible. If you ask us, where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you who we’ve shared your personal data with so that you can contact them.

Your right to erasure

You can ask us to delete or remove your personal data in some circumstances, such as where we no longer need it or where you withdraw your consent (where applicable).

Your right to restrict processing

You can ask us to “block” or suppress the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances such as where you contest the accuracy of that personal data or you object to us processing it for a particular purpose. This may not mean that we will stop storing your personal data but, where we do keep it, we will tell you if we remove any restriction that we have placed on your personal data to stop us processing it further.

Your right to object

You can ask us to stop processing your personal data, and we will do so, if we are: (i) relying on our own or someone else’s legitimate interest to process your personal data, except if we can demonstrate compelling legal grounds for the processing; or (ii) processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

Your rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision when it is based on automatic processing, including profiling, if it produces a legal effect or similarly significantly affects you, unless such profiling is necessary for the entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us.

Your right to withdraw consent

If we rely on your consent (or explicit consent) as our legal basis for processing your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. You can exercise your right of withdrawal by contacting us using our contact details in the How to contact us section or by using any other opt-out mechanism we may provide, such as an unsubscribe link in an email.

Your right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

If you have a concern about any aspect of our privacy practices, including the way we have handled your personal data, please contact us using the contact details provided in the How to contact us section. You can also report any issues or concerns to a national supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence or the place of the alleged infringement. You can find a list of contact details for all EU supervisory authorities at http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

As we are incorporated in the United Kingdom, our regulatory authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”). Contact details for the ICO can be found on its website at https://ico.org.uk.

10             Information security

We are committed to keeping the personal data you provide to us secure and we have implemented information security policies, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data under our control from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification and unlawful destruction or accidental loss. In addition, all our personnel and data processors (i.e. those who process your personal data on our behalf) are obliged to respect the confidentiality of the personal data of all users of our Digital Platforms and those who purchase our Services.

11             How long we keep your personal data

We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice.  We will retain and use your personal data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

If any personal data is only useful for a short period (e.g. for a specific activity, promotion or marketing campaign), we will not retain it for longer than the period for which it is used by us.

If you have opted out of receiving marketing communications from us, we will need to retain certain personal data on a suppression list indefinitely so that we know not to send you further marketing communications in the future. However, we will not use this personal data to send you further marketing unless you subsequently opt back in to receive such marketing.

12             Third-party links and services

This Privacy Notice only applies to personal data processed by us through your use of our Digital Platforms and/or in connection with our Services/business operations. However, from time to time, our Digital Platforms may contain links to third-party websites and services. We have no control over these websites and services and this Privacy Notice does not apply to your interaction with the relevant third parties.

13             Personal data of minors

While our Digital Platforms and Services are not intended for use by, or targeted at, minors (individuals under the age of 18), we may from time to time collect personal data of minors. Accordingly, we will comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to the processing of personal data of minors.

14             If you fail to provide your personal data

Where we are required by law to collect your personal data, or we need to collect your personal data under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that personal data when we request it, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. This may apply where you do not provide the personal data we need in order to provide the Services you have requested from us or to process an application to register an account. In these circumstances, we may have to cancel the provision of the relevant Services to you, in which case we will notify you.

15             International transfers

We may transfer personal data to third parties (as described in the Sharing Personal Data section) that are located in countries that do not have data protection laws that protect personal data to the same standard as UK and/or EU data protection laws.  For example, Crew Hub is mainly used by Event Organisations located in the Middle East including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and therefore if you are engaging with our Platforms with respect to an event in the Middle East, your data will be passed to the relevant Middle Eastern territory.

These third countries may not give you the same rights as under UK and/or EU data protection laws in relation to your personal data and may not have a data protection supervisory authority to help you if you have any concerns.

When transferring personal data, we usually rely on one of the following:

a)     Adequacy decisions: We may transfer your personal data to countries or organisations that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission, the UK Government, or any other relevant government body. This may include transfers to organisations that participate in the Data Privacy Framework as set out here.

b)     Contractual safeguards: We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission, the UK Government, or any other relevant governmental body to safeguard personal data. The contracts that we usually rely on are referred to as “Standard Contractual Clauses” or “SCCs”, although we may from time to time use other approved mechanisms. To find out more about the SCCs we use, please see here (EU) and here (UK). You can also contact us using the contact details set out in the How to contact us section.

In addition, where we disclose personal data that we process in connection with our participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and/or the UK Extension to that framework, we remain liable under those frameworks in relation to our onward transfer of personal data to these countries, unless we can show that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
