Legal Basis for Processing Information
We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have a legal basis. Examples of legal bases include consent (where you have given consent), contract (where processing is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract with you), and “legitimate interests.”
Where we process personal data based on consent, we will ask for your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time, but that will not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data prior to such withdrawal. Where we rely on contract, we will ask that you agree to the processing of personal data that is necessary for entering into or the performance of your contract with us, and we will inform you whether the provision of your personal data is mandatory and of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal data. We may process your personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests, provided that such processing does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object. We process your personal data based on legitimate interests in order to:
- Market our products;
- Protect you, us, or others from data security threats;
- Comply with laws that apply to us; and
Enable or administer our business, such as for invoicing customers or distributors. Our legitimate interests for processing your data are outlined above under “How We Use Your Data."
International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States. We will rely on legally-provided mechanisms to lawfully transfer personal data across borders. In many cases, we will use European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses as a legal mechanism for data transfers from the EU.
Retention Period
We retain the personal data we collect from you when we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (e.g.: providing our products to you at your request). We will also retain your personal data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When we no longer need to process your personal data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, we will delete your personal data from our systems in accordance with the CRH Americas Record Retention Policy.
How We Keep Your Data Secure
We utilize reasonable and appropriate protections to ensure that personal data in our care is not misused or accessed without authorization. Personal data is stored on our own platforms or on the platforms of our agents/contractors, with access restricted to those employees or contractors who have a need for such access to perform a legitimate business function relating to the services or for maintenance, internal security or related issues. All personal data is encrypted during all data transfer operations to and from our Service. Moreover, we generate audit logs that record all access and use of personal data stored in our databases. Any contractor whom we retain to provide services for us and who will have access to personal data must generally agree to abide by the terms of this Privacy Notice.
Children
We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 16 years of age through the website. However, if the parent or guardian of a child under 16 believes that the child has provided us with personal data, the parent or guardian of that child should contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contact Information” heading above if they want this information deleted from our files. If determine or are notified that we have personal data about a child under 16 in retrievable form in our files, we will delete that information from our existing files.
