In the context of an onward transfer of data under the aforementioned criteria, we acknowledge responsibility for the processing of personal information we receive under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfer to a third party acting as an agent, including proper usage and protection under the principles of the Privacy Shield except in cases where Micronet has proven to not be responsible for processing inconsistent with Privacy Shied Principles and therefore is held harmless.

4.6 If you object to or have questions regarding the conditions laid out in section 4 dealing with the sharing of your data with 3rd parties, you may contact us in writing at gzsupport@growthzone.com or support@chambermaster.com or at the address in section 13 to exercise your rights as described in section 8.

5. International transfers of your personal data

5.1 We have offices and facilities in the United States.

5.2 The hosting facilities for our website and software are located in the United States. The European Commission has made an "adequacy decision" with respect to the data protection laws of this country herein called the Privacy Shield Framework.

8. Your rights

8.1 In this Section 8, we have summarised the rights that you have under data protection law. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.

8.2 Your principal rights under data protection law are:

(a) the right to access;

(b) the right to rectification;

(c) the right to erasure;

(d) the right to restrict processing;

(e) the right to object to processing;

(f) the right to data portability;

(g) the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and

(h) the right to withdraw consent.

8.3 You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal data. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee.

8.4 You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.

8.5 In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have been unlawfully processed. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

8.6 In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

8.7 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

8.8 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this purpose.

8.9 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is:

(a) consent; or

(b) that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract,

and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

8.10 If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws and requests to GrowthZone have not led to resolution, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. This, in some cases and under certain conditions, may include the possibility of invoking binding arbitration. A Dispute Resolution Provider is available at https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

8.11 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

8.12 You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by written notice to us. This can easily be done via sending an email to gzsupport@growthzone.com for GrowthZone customers or support@chambermaster.com for Chambermaster customers. You may also provide notice via the mailing address in section 13.

Right to Opt Out of “Sale”. Micronet does not sell information as the term "sell" is traditionally understood. However, Micronet may disclose certain information about you when you use services for purposes that may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. For example, we may disclose information to advertising partners, advertising technology companies, and companies that perform advertising-related services in order to provide you with more relevant advertising tailored to your interests. This information may include identifiers such as your IP address, advertising identifiers, commercial information, your internet or other electronic network information such as your interaction with an ad, geolocation data and inferences. To the extent Micronet sells your personal information as the term "sell" is defined under the CCPA, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information by us to third parties at any time. You may submit a request to opt-out by emailing us at support@growthzone.com or call our toll-free number at 800-825-9171. In the request, please specify which right you are seeking to exercise and the scope of the request. We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 days. We may require specific information from you to help us verify your identity and process your request. If we are unable to verify your identity, we may deny your requests to know or delete.

Please note that if you opt out of receiving marketing communications from us, we may still send communications to you about your transactions and any accounts you have with us. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set above, please contact us. We will need you to provide specific information to help us confirm your identify. This is a security measure to help ensure that your personal information is not disclosed to someone that does not have the right to receive it.
