We may transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area, including to a jurisdiction which is not recognised by the European Commission as providing an equivalent level of protection for personal data as is provided for in the European Union. If and to the extent that we do so, we will ensure that appropriate measures are in place to comply with its obligations under applicable law governing such transfers, which may include entering into a contract governing the transfer which contains the ‘standard contractual clauses’ approved for this purpose by the European Commission. 

Further details of the measures that TII has taken in this regard are available from the TII Data Protection Officer using the contact details below.

Security

For website security purposes and to ensure that this website remains available to all users, our computer system employs software programs to monitor network traffic in order to identify unauthorised attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage. Unauthorised attempts to upload information or change information on this website are strictly prohibited and may be punishable by law.

Your personal data which you provide to us will be held on secure servers. The nature of the internet is such that we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us online. However, we have adopted appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your information from unauthorised access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage. We will also ensure that our agents or third-party service providers who may process your data are required to keep your data safe and secure.

Your Rights

You have the following rights, in certain circumstances, in relation to your personal data: 
  • Right to access the data – You have the right to request a copy of the personal data that we hold about you, together with other information about our processing of that personal data. 
  • Right to rectification – You have the right to request that any inaccurate data that is held about you is corrected, or if we have incomplete information you may request that we update the information such that it is complete.
  • Right to erasure – You have the right to request us to delete personal data that we hold about you. This is sometimes referred to as the right to be forgotten.
  • Right to restriction of processing – You have the right to request that we no longer process your personal data for particular purposes.
  • Right to object to the processing of your personal data – You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for particular purposes.
  • Right to data portability – You have the right to receive your personal data, which you provided to us, in a structured, commonly used machine readable format or to require us to transmit that data to another controller.
  • Right to withdraw your consent – where our processing of your personal data is based on you having provided consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing at any time.

Please note that these rights are not absolute and are subject to certain restrictions and exemptions. For example, the right to erasure of personal data will not apply where we have a legitimate reason to continue to hold such data and we may continue to process your personal data, despite an objection by you, where we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms.

In order to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the contact details below.

Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements and if relevant to deal with any claim or dispute that might arise between you and TII. 

Our retention periods differ depending on the type of categories of personal data held. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Changes to this Privacy Notice

From time to time we may decide to change our privacy notice, but any changes will be posted on this page to keep you up to date on how we collect, use and disclose information. If at any time we decide to use personal data in a manner significantly different from that stated in this privacy notice or otherwise disclosed to you at the time it was collected, we will notify you, and you will have the choice as to whether or not we use your information in the new manner.
