  2. HOW WE PROTECT AND STORE YOUR INFORMATION

    1. Security. We have implemented appropriate technical, organizational and security measures designed to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorized disclosure or access to such information appropriate to the nature of the information concerned. However, please note that we cannot guarantee that the information will not be exposed as a result of unauthorized penetration to our servers. Nevertheless, we make commercially reasonable efforts to make the collection and security of such information consistent with this Privacy Policy and all applicable laws and regulations. As the security of information depends in part on the security of the computer, device or network you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect your user IDs and passwords, please make sure to take appropriate measures to protect this information.
    2. Retention of your Personal Data. In addition to the retention periods mentioned in Section 1 above, in some circumstances we may store your Personal Data for longer periods of time, for example (i) where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements, or (ii) for us to have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or (iii) if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your Personal Data or dealings.

  3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

    In addition to the recipients described in Section 1, we may share your information as follows:

    • To the extent necessary, with regulators, to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and rules, and requests of law enforcement, regulatory and other governmental agencies or if required to do so by court order; If in the future, we sell or transfer some or all of our business or assets to a third party, we will (to the minimum extent required) disclose information to a potential or actual third party purchaser of our business or assets. Merger, Sale or Bankruptcy. In the event that we are acquired by or merged with a third-party entity, or in the event of bankruptcy or a comparable event, we reserve the right to transfer or assign Personal Data in connection with the foregoing events.
    • Where you have provided your consent to us sharing the Personal Data (e.g., where you provide us with marketing consents or opt-in to optional additional services or functionality).

  4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

    We ensure transfers within the NSB staff will be covered by an appropriate agreement which contractually obliges each member to ensure that Personal Data receives an adequate and consistent level of protection wherever it is transferred to;

    Where we transfer your Personal Data outside of NSB, for example to third parties who help provide our products and services, we will obtain contractual commitments from them to protect your Personal Data.

    Some of these assurances are well-recognized certification schemes like the EU - US Privacy Shield for the protection of Personal Data transferred from within the EU to the United States (read more here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome); or

    Where we receive requests for information from law enforcement or regulators, we carefully validate these requests before any Personal Data is disclosed.

  5. YOUR RIGHTS

    The following rights (which may be subject to certain exemptions or derogations), shall apply to individuals who are protected by the GDPR:

    • You have a right to access information held about you. Your right of access will normally be exercised free of charge; however, we reserve the right to charge an appropriate administrative fee where permitted by applicable law;
    • You have the right to request that we amend any Personal Data we hold that it is inaccurate or misleading.
    • You have the right to request the erasure of the Personal Data that relates to you. Please note that there may be circumstances in which we are required to retain your data, for example for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
    • The right to object to or to request restriction of the processing. However, there may be circumstances in which we are legally entitled to refuse your request;
    • The right to data portability. This means that you may have the right to receive your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and that you have the right to transmit that data to another controller;
    • You have the right to object to profiling;
    • You have a right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority (i.e., your place of habitual residence, place or work or place of alleged infringement) at any time.

Subject to legal and other permissible considerations, we will make every reasonable effort to honor your request promptly or inform you if we require further information in order to fulfill your request.  When processing your request, we may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity for security purposes, before disclosing the Personal Data requested to you. This proof of identity will take the form of a photo of you showing a form of identification (e.g. ID, Passport, etc.). We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance, if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

    In the event that your request would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others (for example, would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others) or if we are legally entitled to deal with your request in a different way than the initial request, we will address your request to the maximum extent possible, all in accordance with applicable law.
