To whom we may communicate your personal data?

In addition to access and processing by our employees and collaborators in order to provide our services and fulfil your requests, your Personal Data may also be disclosed to third parties in certain circumstances. It will only be shared with these third parties when strictly necessary, under confidentiality obligations and implementation of appropriate security measures:

IriusRisk companies: We are a global company with subsidiaries in various parts of the world. Therefore, we may disclose your Personal Data to IriusRisk subsidiaries for operational and administrative reasons, as well as to ensure that your service or request is properly provided.

Service Providers: We will often need to disclose your Personal Data to trusted third parties in order to operate, develop, host, audit, improve and customise our Websites and services, send marketing communications and advertisements related to our Websites and services based on your interests and interactions with us. Any third parties we share your Personal Data with are obliged to store your personal data securely and use it only for necessary purposes. We seek to enter into Data Processing Agreements (DPA) with our third party service providers to ensure they only process your data according to data protection regulations and as instructed by us.

Sponsors, partners and promoters of IriusRisk-organised events: If you register for or attend an online or onsite event organised by IriusRisk, we may need to disclose relevant Personal Data to sponsors, partners and promoters, for the sole purpose of organising and running the event.

Links to Third Party Sites: This Website may include links that direct you to other websites or services whose data protection practices may differ from ours. If you submit information to any of those third party sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies, not this one. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

Business Transfers: We may disclose or transfer your Personal Data as part of, or in connection with, an actual or prospective corporate business transaction, such as merger, sale of company assets, financing, joint venture, financing, acquisition corporate change, reorganisation or insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership of all or a portion of our business to another company. 

Compliance with Enforcement Requests and Applicable Laws; Enforcement of Our Rights: In exceptional circumstances, we may disclose information about you to law enforcement agencies, regulatory or governmental bodies, or other third parties if we consider that sharing is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with any applicable law or regulation, subpoena, court order, government statute, legal or regulatory audit or investigation, or other legal process, including to comply with national security or law enforcement requirements; (b) protect the security or integrity of our products and services; (c) prevent fraud, harm, illegal activities or abuse of IriusRisk or our users (e.g. through ReCaptcha); (d) respond to an emergency which we believe in good faith requires us to disclose information to assist in preventing the death or serious bodily injury of any person. 

‍Advertising Partners: We may share your personal information with third-party advertising partners. These third-party advertising partners may set Technologies and other tracking tools on our Services to collect information regarding your activities and your device (e.g., your IP address, cookie identifiers, page(s) visited, location, time of day). These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other services) for purposes of delivering personalised advertisements to you when you visit digital properties within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “personalised advertising.”

Market research: When we aggregate and disclose de-identified information collected by our websites or the services to provide statistical information or market research to third parties.

International data transfers

In the above circumstances your Personal Data may be processed, transferred and stored outside your country or jurisdiction. Certain of these countries may not have the same data protection laws and protections as those of the country in which you are based. 

When we transfer Personal Data outside of the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or the European Economic Area (EEA), we take appropriate steps to ensure that the recipient of your Personal Data offers an adequate level of protection and security, for example by entering into standard contractual clauses (SCCs) for the transfer of Personal Data as approved by the European Commission.

Security

IriusRisk places the utmost importance on the security of the Personal Data entrusted to us. We undertake to take all necessary precautions to preserve the security of the Personal Data and, in particular, to protect it against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, corruption, dissemination or unauthorised access, as well as against any other form of unlawful processing or disclosure to unauthorised persons. 

For this purpose, we are ISO 27001 certified. We use appropriate technical and operational measures (e.g. data encryption, security audits, hashing, etc.) to secure information collected by IriusRisk. 

How can you exercise your data protection rights?

Under data protection regulations, you have rights we need to make you aware of. The rights available to you depend on our reason for processing your Personal Data, which may include:

  • Access or be provided with a copy of your Personal Information held by us and be informed about what Personal Data we hold and how we process it; (Right of access)
  • Request the correction, update, or erasure of your Personal Information held by us; (Your right to rectification and/or erasure)

  • Request that your Personal Information be transferred, where possible, to a third party; and (Right to data portability)

If you wish to exercise one of these rights, please contact us via the email address dpo@iriusrisk.com

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and exercise your rights. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

We will try to respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days. Occasionally it may take us longer if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

You may lodge a complaint related to the processing of your Personal Data to the Spanish Supervisory Authority (AEPD) , with its registered office at Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, C/Jorge Juan, 6, 28001- Madrid, via its website https://www.aepd.es/.
