Personal data we share

Business partners

We do not disclose personal data about you except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Where necessary as part of our business, we may share personal data with our affiliates, distributors, resellers and other trusted business affiliates.

We may also share your personal data with vendors and third party service providers who assist us with the operation of the Website, our sales and services and our business in general. For example, IT service providers, professional advisors such as lawyers, accountants, auditors.

We will always take appropriate steps to ensure that any third party with which we share your personal data will keep your personal data secure.

Processors

We use a number of organizations to carry out a range of services on behalf of DataCore (“processors”).

Our processors must handle your personal data in accordance with data protection law. We also have agreements in place with our processors so that they only handle your personal data as we have instructed them to.

Legal reasons

We may also share your personal information with regulators or official authorities where required or where necessary to exercise our legal rights.

Business development

As our business evolves, we may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including personal data in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. In such an event, the information collected about you, whether personal data or anonymous data, may be one of the assets transferred.

How long we keep personal information

To ensure we are able to meet our legal obligations and exercise our legal rights, we will store your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for. This will usually be six years after we last used it (or longer where we have a specific legal obligation). To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of it, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. We also take into account legal and regulatory requirements which require the retention of personal information for a minimum period of time and limitation periods for taking legal action.

Some of our offices, processors and the partners we work with are based outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom (UK). When we send your personal information outside of the EEA and UK to a country not recognized as providing appropriate protections, we put in place appropriate contracts, group agreements or other safeguards to ensure your rights are protected. You can request more information about the safeguards we rely on and/or request a copy of these by getting in touch with us using the contact details set out below.
