As a result, your data may be subject to data protection and other laws that may differ from your country of residence. Your data may be disclosed in response to inquiries or requests from government authorities or to respond to judicial process in the countries in which we operate. By using the Services, or by providing us with any Personal Data, you consent to the collection, processing, maintenance, and transfer of such data in and to the United States where the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as, or equivalent to, those in the country where you reside or are a citizen.

  • to transfer your Personal Data only to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of Personal Data in non-EU countries.
  • we may use specific contracts or contract provisions (for example the standard contractual clauses adopted by the EU Commission) which endeavor to give Personal Data the same protection it has in UK/EEA (as appropriate).

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data out of the UK and EEA.


11. DATA SECURITY

We have appropriate safeguards and security controls in place to protect your personal information. These include appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information (i) from accidental or unlawful destruction, and (ii) loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to the data. Please be advised, however, that while we take reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, such measures cannot be guaranteed to be secure. We cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your Personal Data.

We limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

The security of your account relies on your protection of your user profile information. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your user profile information, including your password and for all activities that occur under your account. You may not share your password with anyone. We will never ask you to send your password or other sensitive information to us in an email, though we may ask you to enter this type of information on the Services. Any email or other communication purporting to be from one of our Services requesting your password or asking you to provide sensitive account information via email, should be treated as unauthorized and suspicious and should be reported to us immediately. If you believe someone else has obtained access to your password, please change it immediately by logging in to your account and report it immediately by emailing privacy@aboardtheworld.com.


12. DATA RETENTION

How long will you use my Personal Data?

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as we believe it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

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 unauthorized 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.

In general, we will store your Personal Data for as long as your account is active or we are providing the services to you and for a period of 3 years following de-activation/deletion of your account or the conclusion of our services to you, unless applicable law requires us to do otherwise. We may retain your personal data for more than 3 years after deletion of your account to comply with our legal obligations or for our legal protection, in which case your Personal Data may be retained for a period equal to the applicable statutes of limitation.

In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you and you can no longer be identified by it) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your Personal Data are available in our retention policy which you can request by contacting us.


13. SPECIAL NOTICE FOR UK AND EEA RESIDENTS

If you would like to submit a Data Subject Request, you can contact The World at privacy@aboardtheworld.com. If you choose to submit a Data Subject Request, you must provide us with enough information to identify you and enough specificity on the requested data. We will only use the information we receive to respond to your request. We will not be able to disclose information if it cannot verify that the person making the Data Subject Request is the person about whom we collected information, or someone authorized to act on such person’s behalf. Please specify clearly which information you would like us to provide you with, review, amend, stop processing, or delete.

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • Request access to your Personal Data (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 correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. To the extent possible, we will inform anyone who has received your Personal Data of any corrections.
  • Request erasure of your 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 your Personal Data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your Personal Data unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. If the request is founded, we will try to delete your Personal Data promptly, and, to the extent possible, will inform anyone who has received your Personal Data of your request.
  • Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your Personal Data which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your Personal Data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where you believe that our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. If the request is founded, we will try to do so promptly, and, to the extent possible, will inform anyone who has received your personal data of your request.
  • Request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the Personal Data to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
  • Automated Individual Decision Making. We do not currently engage in automated individual decision making. However, in the event we ever do so, we will inform you of such change and you may request not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects that concern you or that similarly significantly affect you, except were the automated individual decision making is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us; is authorized by law; or is based on the your explicit consent.
  • Complaints. You may contact us at any time where you believe that we are in breach of data protection laws or where you wish to make a complaint about our data processing. Furthermore, if you believe that our processing of your personal data is in breach of data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority (i.e., in the U.K. or Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement), if you are of the opinion that any of your personal data is processed in a manner constituting an infringement of the U.K. or E.U. GDPR or where you believe that we have not resolved an issue you have raised with us. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns before you approach the relevant data protection supervisory authority so please contact us at privacy@aboardtheworld.com in the first instance.
