4. LAWFUL BASES
Under certain laws, we are required to rely on one or more lawful grounds to collect and use the personal information that we have outlined above. We consider the grounds listed below to be relevant:
a. Legal obligation
Where the processing of your personal information is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject e.g. because we have to provide information to tax authorities.
b. Contractual relationship
Where it is necessary for us to use your personal information in order to perform a contract to which you are a party (or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract).
c. Legitimate interests
We rely on this basis where applicable law allows us to collect and use personal information for our legitimate interests and the use of your personal information is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact your rights. For instance, it is in our legitimate interest to use personal information to protect our website from any attacks and to ensure appropriate security.
When we process your personal information to achieve such legitimate interests, we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. We will not use your personal information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, for example where use would be excessively intrusive (unless, for instance, we are otherwise required or permitted to by law).
d. Consent
We may obtain your consent to use your personal information in certain circumstances e.g. to send you email marketing. We will ensure that when we obtain your consent you are free both to give it and to decline to give it. Additionally, you may always withdraw your consent at any time without any further detriment to you.
5. STORAGE AND ACCURACY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will keep your personal information for as long as necessary:
-
To comply with any statutory or regulatory requirements we are subject to under applicable law;
-
To fulfill the purposes for which the personal information was collected; or
-
To defend our or a third party’s legal rights.
If you have any questions about our retention periods for personal information, please contact us.
We strive to keep any personal information we hold up-to-date and accurate. If you have any changes to your personal information that you would like to inform us of, please contact us using the contact details below.
6. WHO DO WE SHARE THIS PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH?
We do not share personal information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete requested transactions and as set out in this Privacy Notice. Please note that we may legally be required to disclose your personal information if required to by law enforcement agencies or for regulatory reasons.
7. DATA SECURITY
We place great importance on the security of your personal information and will always try to take appropriate precautions to protect it, both online and offline.
Our site is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.
Wherever we collect more sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and passed securely through our payment processing providers who meet the required Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards. You can verify that a webpage is secured by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.
We also use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates to protect your personal information and all personal information is stored in a secure database. The computers/servers in which we store personal information are kept in a secure environment.
Despite all of our precautions however, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information which you disclose to us online or otherwise and you must understand that you do so at your own risk.
We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any messages transmitted between you and us via email as these are potentially accessible by the public. We will not be liable to you or anyone else for any loss in connection with any email message sent by you to us or by us to you.
8. DONOR PRIVACY
Except as set out in this Privacy Notice, the Casa Balthasar will not disclose, trade, sell, or share any donor or visitor’s personal information nor solicit any donor or visitor on behalf of another organization.
