BPG’S LEGAL OBLIGATIONS AND LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

We may share personal information with brands, organizations or individuals outside of BPG if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

  • meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, subpoena or enforceable governmental request.
  • enforce applicable Terms of Service, Terms of Use, or other potential violation of BPG contracts or rules, including investigation of potential violations.
  • detect, prevent, investigate or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
  • protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of BPG, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

3. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE EU/EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

International transfers within BPG are governed by the EU Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses for Controllers [and for Processors].

We may also transfer your data to third-party vendors and business partners outside the EU, such as our customer relationship management systems providers HubSpot and Zoho. Where we do so, the data is used to maintain sales contact databases, inform marketing decisions and actions, report on marketing results, and improve user experience of the websites.

The BPG website located at https://www.burkeportergroup.com/ and the websites of EU and U.S.-based BPG brands (including Burke E.

5. YOUR RIGHTS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

BPG shall allow an individual access to their Personal Information and allow the individual to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate information, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the privacy of the individual in the case in question or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated.

The GDPR provides you with certain rights in relation to the processing of your personal data, including to:

  • Request personal data provided by you to be transferred in machine-readable format (“data portability”).
  • Request erasure of personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you (e.g. if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it).
  • Object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This right may apply where the processing of your personal data is based on the legitimate interests of Company, as explained above, or where decisions about you are based solely on automated processing, including profiling.
  • Withdraw your consent. If we are processing you persona data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

These rights are not absolute and are subject to various conditions under:

  • applicable data protection and privacy legislation; and
  • the laws and regulations to which we are subject.

If at any time you decide that you do not want to be contacted by us for direct marketing purposes or if you would like to exercise any of your rights as set out above, please notify us of your wishes using the contact details provided in Section 1.

We will do our best to respond to any requests or concerns that you may have in regard to our processing of your personal data. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may submit a complaint to privacy@burkeportergroup.com.

You also have the right to submit a complaint to the relevant data protection supervisory authority in the European Union.

BPG’S LEGAL OBLIGATIONS AND LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

We may share personal information with brands, organizations or individuals outside of BPG if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

  • meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, subpoena or enforceable governmental request.
  • enforce applicable Terms of Service, Terms of Use, or other potential violation of BPG contracts or rules, including investigation of potential violations.

3. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE EU/EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

International transfers within BPG are governed by the EU Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses for Controllers [and for Processors].

We may also transfer your data to third-party vendors and business partners outside the EU, such as our customer relationship management systems providers HubSpot and Zoho. Where we do so, the data is used to maintain sales contact databases, inform marketing decisions and actions, report on marketing results, and improve user experience of the websites.

The BPG website located at https://www.burkeportergroup.com/ and the websites of EU and U.S.-based BPG brands (including Burke E.

5. YOUR RIGHTS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

BPG shall allow an individual access to their Personal Information and allow the individual to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate information, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the privacy of the individual in the case in question or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated. Please email privacy@burkeportergroup.com to review and update your personal contact information.

The GDPR provides you with certain rights in relation to the processing of your personal data, including to:

  • Request access to personal data about you (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request rectification, correction, or updating to any of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request personal data provided by you to be transferred in machine-readable format (“data portability”).
  • Request erasure of personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you (e.g. if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it).
  • Object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This right may apply where the processing of your personal data is based on the legitimate interests of Company, as explained above, or where decisions about you are based solely on automated processing, including profiling.
  • Withdraw your consent. If we are processing you persona data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

These rights are not absolute and are subject to various conditions under:

  • applicable data protection and privacy legislation; and
  • the laws and regulations to which we are subject.

If at any time you decide that you do not want to be contacted by us for direct marketing purposes or if you would like to exercise any of your rights as set out above, please notify us of your wishes using the contact details provided in Section 1.

We will do our best to respond to any requests or concerns that you may have in regard to our processing of your personal data. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may submit a complaint to privacy@burkeportergroup.com.

You also have the right to submit a complaint to the relevant data protection supervisory authority in the European Union.
