Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to our processing of your personal data that we process for non-marketing purposes. If you would like us to stop processing that data too, please let us know by exercising your rights summarised in this policy, particularly in paragraphs 11, 12 and 16 below.

Accuracy of Data and Keeping Data Up-to-Date

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us. You have the right to request  the rectification of personal data that we hold about you, as set out in Part 11, below.

Data Retention

We shall not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the purpose or purposes for which that personal data was originally collected, held, and processed. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

When personal data is no longer required, all reasonable steps will be taken to erase or otherwise dispose of it without delay.

If you are an active user, we will retain your personal data for the entire time that you are actively engaging with our site or products and for a further period of 3 months from the date of your last engagement. After that you will become an inactive user and we will put you onto a soft suppression list for a period of 2 years, following which we erase your details.

If you request to no longer receive direct marketing from us, we will place your details onto a hard suppression list, where it will not be used, and you will be deleted from that hard suppression list at the end of 5 years.

If you require any information or have any data requests, you can contact our DPO, Caroline Sugrue, at: dpo@littlestarmedia.com.

Secure Processing

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage. In addition, 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 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.

Keeping You Informed

Where your personal data is collected directly from you, you will be informed of its purpose at the time of collection.

Where your personal data is obtained from a third party, you will be informed of its purpose:

1. 1. if the personal data is used to communicate with you, when the first communication is made;
   2. if the personal data is to be transferred to another party, before that transfer is made; or
   3. as soon as reasonably possible and in any event not more than one month after the personal data is obtained.

Your Access Requests

You may make subject access requests (“SARs”) at any time to find out more about the personal data which we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

If you wish to make a SAR, you should do so by emailing our DPO at dpo@littlestarmedia.com.

Responses to SARs shall normally be made within one month of receipt. However, this may be extended by up to two months if the SAR is complex and/or numerous requests are made. If such additional time is required, you shall be informed.

We do not charge a fee for the handling of normal SARs. We reserve the right to charge reasonable fees for additional copies of information that has already been supplied to you, and for requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly where such requests are repetitive.

Rectification of Personal Data

You have the right to require us to rectify any of your personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.

Within one month of you making your request, we shall rectify the personal data in question, and inform you of the rectification. The period may be extended by up to two months in the case of complex requests. If such additional time is required, you shall be informed.

In the event that any affected personal data has been disclosed to third parties, those parties shall be informed of any rectification that must be made to that personal data.

Erasure of Personal Data

You have the right to request that we erase your personal data in the following circumstances:

1. It is no longer necessary for us to process your personal data for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected;
2. You no longer wish us to process your personal data;
3. Your personal data has been processed unlawfully; or
4. Your personal data needs to be erased in order for us to comply with a particular legal obligation.

Unless we have reasonable grounds to refuse to erase your personal data, we will comply with all requests for erasure and inform you when this has been done within one month of receipt of your request. The period can be extended by up to two months in the case of complex requests. If such additional time is required, we will inform you.

In the event that your personal data to be erased has been disclosed to third parties, we will inform those parties of the erasure (unless it is impossible or would require disproportionate effort to do so).

Marketing Communications

Restriction of Personal Data Processing

You may request that we cease processing the personal data we hold about you. If you make such a request, we shall retain only the amount of your personal data (if any) that is necessary to ensure that the personal data in question is not processed further.

In the event that any affected personal data has been disclosed to third parties, those parties shall be informed of the applicable restrictions on processing it (unless it is impossible or would require disproportionate effort to do so).

Data Portability

Where you have given your consent to us to process your personal data in such a manner, or the processing is otherwise required for the performance of a contract between us, you have the right, under the GDPR, to request that we transfer your personal data.

To facilitate the right of data portability, we will make available all your applicable personal data to you as a .csv file via email. Where technically feasible, if requested by you, your personal data shall be sent directly to the required data controller.

Objections to Personal Data Processing

You have the right to object to us processing your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interests 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 limited cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Transferring Personal Data to a Country Outside the EEA

We may from time to time transfer (‘transfer’ includes making available remotely) personal data to external third parties outside the EEA.
The transfer of personal data to a country outside of the EEA shall take place only if one or more adequacy measures as summarised in the GDPR apply. For the purposes of your data, this is likely to be the following:

1. the transfer is to a country, territory, or one or more specific sectors in that country (or an international organisation), that the European Commission has determined ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data; or
2. the transfer is to a country (or international organisation) which provides appropriate safeguards in the form of a legally binding agreement between public authorities or bodies; binding corporate rules; standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission; compliance with an approved code of conduct approved by a supervisory authority (e.g. the Information Commissioner’s Office); certification under an approved certification mechanism (as provided for in the GDPR); contractual clauses agreed and authorised by the competent supervisory authority; or provisions inserted into administrative arrangements between public authorities or bodies authorised by the competent supervisory authority.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
