Where we e-mail you with information about our products and services, we will provide you with a clear way to opt-out of receiving any further communications.

​

We compare the data we hold about you as a business contact with data held by Zoominfo, and we update where necessary, for example by adding your new business address. This is known as ‘data enrichment’. Please note that we do not share or contribute any of your information to ZoomInfo. For more information on ZoomInfo please see their Privacy Policy.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected breach of Personal Information and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

​

How Long We Keep Personal Information

We also ensure that, in compliance with applicable law, we do not retain Personal Information longer than necessary. We will keep Personal Information about you for as long as we have a relationship with your organization and you, for example as long as you wish to keep receiving marketing messages from us, or as long as you are an employee of your organization (and for a reasonable period thereafter). When determining how long to retain Personal Information after we no longer have a relationship with you or your organization, we take into account how long our customers usually want to continue hearing from us, our legal obligations and the expectations of regulators, as well as the length of time information is needed for internal audit purposes and to exercise or defend our legal rights.

​

We also consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

This includes the following:

• Retention in case of queries -  We may retain your Personal Information for a reasonable period in case of follow up queries from you.

• Retention in case of claims - We may retain your Personal Information for the period in which you might legally bring claims against us (this means we will retain it in line with relevant limitation periods, which are applicable to your jurisdiction, for example 7 years from the end of the contract, for information relating to contracts with us if based in the UK) if and to the extent this is relevant.

• Retention in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements - We will consider whether we need to retain your Personal Information after the period of retention in the case of queries or claims because of a legal or regulatory requirement. 

• Retention permitted under applicable law - We will continue to retain Personal Information where necessary to provide our services to you and the retention of such Personal Information is necessary for the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests or where it is necessary for public interest purposes.

 

We review our retention periods for Personal Information on a regular basis, and all data is retained in compliance with applicable data protection law. We will only  permanently retain certain basic Personal Information, for limited purposes. This is in relation to retaining basic contact details, to keep a record that you were a customer, in case you return in future, or where you have asked us not to contact you again. 

​

Our Lawful Bases for Processing 

We will only process your Personal Information if we have a lawful basis for doing so. Lawful bases for processing include, depending on the applicable law, consent, contractual necessity, and our “legitimate interests” or the legitimate interest of others, as further described below. 

​

Consent 

Depending on your jurisdiction, some activities may require your consent, for example where we collect your personal data at events for our direct marketing communications so that we can provide further information and marketing to you.

When we process Personal Information based on your consent, it will be expressly indicated to you at the point and time of collection. 

Where consent is not required, we will process your Personal Information because either it is necessary for our legitimate interests, is necessary to enable us to perform the contract or provide our services to you, or it is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations.

​

Necessary to comply with a Legal/ Regulatory Obligation 

From time to time, we may also need to process Personal Information to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. We rely on this lawful basis when processing any data subject rights requests in accordance with applicable data protection laws and for activities relating to the prevention, detection and investigation of any crime.

Necessary to fulfill a contract 

Other activities are carried out to fulfill a contract or agreement (for example, to comply with contractual obligations we have to you, or your organization including when we provide Digiteck Vision Offerings to you or your organization in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions, or when we process payments and purchases you or your organization make). If a contract or account is in place, then we will process your Personal Information on the basis that it is necessary to perform our contractual commitments to you. 

​

Legitimate Interests

In addition to the uses set out above, we may also process the Personal Information we collect for our legitimate business interests when that is an available legal basis under applicable law.  “Legitimate Interests” means the interests of our company in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service and products and the most secure experience. For example, we have an interest in making sure our marketing is relevant for you, so we may process your information to send you marketing that is tailored to your interests.  Our legitimate interests can also apply to processing that is in your interests as well.

Privacy Shield

Digiteck Vision complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union and the United Kingdom countries and Switzerland transferred to the United States pursuant to Privacy Shield.  Digiteck Vision has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles with respect to such data. If there is any conflict between the policies in this privacy policy and data subject rights under the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

​

We are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commissions within the territories we operate in.

Pursuant to the Privacy Shield Frameworks, all individuals have the right to obtain our confirmation of whether we maintain personal information relating to you with Digiteck Vision. 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 under Privacy Shield, should direct their query to privacy@digiteckvision.com. If requested to remove data, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

​

We will provide an individual opt-out choice (for personal data) or opt-in choice (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 privacy@digiteckvision.com.

DTV’s accountability for personal data that it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party is described in the Privacy Shield Principles. In particular, DTV 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 DTV proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

​

We may be required in certain circumstances to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. In the event a customer end user transfers human resources data from the EU in the context of the employment relationship, DTV will cooperate with the appropriate EU or Swiss data protection authorities.

 

In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, DTV 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 and Swiss individuals with Privacy Shield inquiries or complaints should first contact DTV at: privacy@digiteckvision.com

 

DTV 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 https://bbbprograms.org/privacy-shield-complaints/  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

 

Cross-Border Data Transfer

We are committed to safeguarding your personal information and to take appropriate steps to protect your Personal Information regardless of where it is stored, taking into consideration the requirements of the data protection laws which we consider are applicable to how we process your Personal Information. These include entering into contracts with third parties. An example of this could arise if our processing of your Personal Information is protected under United Kingdom or European Union data protection laws.  If that Personal Information will be transferred by us or on our instructions to a country outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area and doing so would otherwise be restricted under prevailing data protection law applicable to us, because your Personal Information would not be protected to an equivalent data protection law standard, we will put in place an approved mechanism for providing appropriate safeguards to protect it. This includes approved mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses. 

There may also be some instances in which we rely upon one or more permitted exceptions under the relevant data protection law from taking this step for particular situations.  For example, where we have asked for your explicit consent to do, or to perform a contract with your organization and/ or you, or take steps prior to doing so, to conclude or perform a contract with another party concluded in your interest, for important reasons of public interest, or where it is done in the context of legal claims.

 

Digiteck Vision, and its affiliated entities, also comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States. Digiteck Vision has certified through its partners to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement and Liability. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern.
