5. INFORMATION SHARING

5.1 Communication of personal data to third parties

When you access or use the Services, we collect, use, share, and otherwise process your personal data as described in this Privacy Notice. Scannell Properties will not share, sell, rent, or otherwise disclose your private personal data to third parties without your consent or another valid legal basis permitted by law.

Scannell Properties will share your information in the following circumstances:

  • Within Scannell Properties: We may share and process information internally within Scannell Properties and with our subsidiaries and affiliates. Scannell Properties’ personnel may have access to your information as needed to provide and operate the Services in the normal course of business. This includes information regarding your use and interaction with the Services.
  • Affiliated Businesses:Scannell Properties is affiliated with a variety of businesses and works closely with them for a variety of purposes, including assisting us to perform and improve the Services. These businesses may sell items or services to you through the Services or, with your consent, offer promotions (including e-mail promotions) to you. Scannell Properties may also provide services or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses, including providing information to such partners to allow them to more effectively market to you. When an affiliated business assists in facilitating your transaction, we may need to share information related to the transaction with that affiliated business in order to facilitate your transaction, and this forms part of the Services we provide in accordance with our Terms of Service.
  • Service Providers:Scannell Properties work with various organizations and individuals to help provide the Services to you (“Service Providers”), such as website and data hosting companies and companies providing analytics information, like Google Analytics. Scannell Properties needs to engage such third-party Service Providers to help us operate, provide, and market the Services. These third parties may use your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf. Information we share to our Service Providers may include both information you provide to us and information we collect about you, including personal data and information from data collection tools like cookies, web beacons, and log files.

Scannell Properties takes reasonable steps to ensure that our Service Providers are obligated to reasonably protect your information on Scannell Properties’ behalf. If Scannell Properties becomes aware that a Service Provider is using or disclosing information improperly, we will take commercially reasonable steps to end or correct such improper use or disclosure.

Our engagement of Service Providers is often necessary for us to provide the Services to you, particularly where such companies play important roles like helping us keep our Services operating and secure. In some other cases, these Service Providers aren’t strictly necessary for us to provide the Services, but help us make it better, like by helping us conduct research into how we could better serve our users.

  • Third Party Technologies: Third-party plug-ins also may collect information about your use of the Services. These interactions are subject to the privacy notice of the third-party site. In addition, certain cookies and other similar technologies on the Services are used by third parties for targeted online marketing and other purposes. These technologies allow a partner to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you use the Services. Please be aware that when you use third-party sites or services, their own terms and privacy notices will govern your use of those sites or services. Scannell Properties chooses and manages these third-party technologies placed on its Services. However, these are third-party technologies, and they are subject to that third party’s privacy notice. Scannell Properties is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third parties.
  • Business Transactions: Scannell Properties may purchase other businesses or their assets, sell our business assets, or be involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets (a “Business Transaction”). Your information, including personal data, may be among assets sold or transferred as part of a Business Transaction. In some cases, Scannell Properties may choose to buy or sell assets.
  • Safety and Lawful Requests: We may be required to disclose Services user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We generally do not disclose user information unless we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. We may share your information when we believe it is necessary to comply with applicable laws, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Services or using Scannell Properties name, or to protect the safety of any person. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents, or government agencies. Nothing in this Privacy Notice is intended to limit any legal defences or objections that you may have to a third party’s, including a government’s, request to disclose your information.
  • Aggregated Non-Personal Data: We may disclose aggregated, non-personal data received from providing the Services, including information that does not identify any individual, without restriction. Scannell Properties may share demographic information with business partners, but it will be aggregated and de-personalized so that personal data is not revealed.

 

5.2 Transfer of personal data

Scannell Properties may transfer personal data to third parties as autonomous data controllers or to data processors to enable the performance of the activities listed in this Privacy Notice. In the event that such transfer takes place to countries that do not provide the same level of protection as provided by the GDPR or applicable law or, in any case, an adequate level of protection of personal data, Scannell Properties will ensure that each of such recipients undertakes specific contractual obligations in accordance with applicable data protection regulations (including signing the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission), unless it can refer to any other legal basis for the transfer of such information. In any case, you can always request more information, including the countries to which your personal data will be transferred, by writing to privacy@scannellproperties.com.

 

Personal data will not be disseminated, so it will not be made available to unspecified parties.

6. YOUR RIGHTS & CHOICES REGARDING YOUR INFORMATION

6.1 Your rights

Firstly we would like to inform you of your rights as an data subject. These rights are standardized in Articles 7 and 15 – 22 of the GDPR. The data subject has the following rights:

  • Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3) of the GDPR – right to withdraw the consent given. Note: withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal);
  • Right of access (Art. 15 of the GDPR): right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not personal data is being processed and, if so, also to obtain access to such data and further information, such as purposes of processing, categories of data processed, recipients of communications and/or transfers of data (including their copy in intelligible form);
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16 of the GDPR): right to obtain from us the rectification of inaccurate personal data without undue delay, as well as the integration of incomplete personal data, including by providing a supplementary declaration;
  • Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’) (Art. 17 of the GDPR): right to erasure your data, if permitted by applicable legislation (please note that requests to delete or remove your information do not necessarily ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted and removed information may persist in backup copies for some time. Please note that if you choose to delete your information, you understand that certain features, including but not limited to access to the Services, may no longer be available to you);
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 of the GDPR): right to obtain the restriction of processing, for example, in case the accuracy of the data is contested or in case of unlawful processing;
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 of the GDPR): the right to receive in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format personal data concerning you and provided to us and the right to transmit such data to another data controller without hindrance by us if the processing is carried out on the basis of consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means;
  • Right not to be subjected to automated decision-making (Art. 22 of the GDPR): right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.

The above rights may be exercised in writing by sending an e-mail to privacy@scannellproperties.com; the same contact may be asked for more information about the processing of personal data at any time. It should also be noted that the exercise of your rights must not prejudice and/or infringe on the rights and freedoms of others.

Scannell Properties undertakes to respond to requests within a period of one month, except in the case of particularly complex requests, for which it may take up to 3 months. In any case, Scannell Properties will explain the reason for the wait within one month of the request.

The outcome of the request will be provided in writing (at your request) or in electronic format (and, in this case, free of charge). Scannell Properties specifies that you may be asked to contribute if your requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive: in this regard, we will keep track of the requests.

Scannell Properties, in compliance with Article 19 of the GDPR, undertakes to report to the recipients to whom your personal data have been disclosed any rectification, deletion or restriction of processing requested by you, where possible.

 

6.2 Right to object (Art. 21 of the GDPR)

You also have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you if it is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR); with specific regard to cookies, the exercise of this right can be made by preventing the functioning of strictly necessary cookies via your browser settings.

In addition, where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your related personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes.

You may exercise this right by writing to the e-mail address indicated in the previous paragraph.

Please note you may not opt-out of certain Services-related communications, such as account verification, changes or updates to features of the Services, or technical and security notices.

If you believe that your rights have been compromised or infringed upon, or that the processing of your data is contrary to applicable law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the territorially competent Supervisory.

6.4 Do Not Track

Scannell Properties does not currently employ a process for automatically responding to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals sent by web browsers, mobile devices, or other mechanisms. Per industry standards, third parties may be able to collect information, including personal data, about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services when you use Services. You may opt out of online behavioural ads at https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN. You also may limit certain tracking by disabling cookies in your web browser.

7. INFORMATION SECURITY

The security of your personal data is important to us. Scannell Properties takes reasonable efforts to secure and protect the privacy, accuracy, and reliability of your information and to protect it from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Scannell Properties implements security measures as we deem appropriate and consistent with industry standards. As no data security protocol is impenetrable, Scannell Properties cannot guarantee the security of our systems or databases, nor can we guarantee that personal data we collect about you will not be breached, intercepted, destroyed, accessed, or otherwise disclosed without authorization. Accordingly, any information you transfer to or from Services is provided at your own risk.

8. SAFELY USING SCANNELL PROPERTIES’ SERVICES

Despite Scannell Properties’ safety and privacy controls, we cannot guarantee the Services are entirely free of illegal, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate material, or that you will not encounter inappropriate or illegal conduct from other users when using the Services. You can help Scannell Properties by notifying us of any unwelcome contact by contacting us at privacy@scannellproperties.com.
