V. Data Protection Rights
RESIDE may use automated processing to verify personal data and determine whether to contact a prospective customer as part of a campaign on behalf of our clients. This is to ensure that we are providing the best service possible to our users and clients.
Under Data Protection Laws in some U.S. States and in the UK. Your rights are as follows:
- The right to be informed: We collect your data to make our interactions smoother, and we will advise you of the purpose for which we collect personal data. We will ask for your permission if we want to use your personal information for another purpose. We will collect your personal information fairly, lawfully, for legitimate purposes only and where appropriate, only with your knowledge and consent.
- The right to access: You have the right to ask us for information that we have about you, and in most cases, we will try to do this for no charge. If there is a burdensome amount of information, then we will ask you for a nominal, reasonable fee. We will try to satisfy your request in under 30 days, which is the time that we have under law. If we are unable to fully comply with your request, you can appeal to the data supervising authority, and you must do that within 30 days. We will, of course, try our best to deliver the data to you before that timeline.
- The right to rectification: It is important for us to keep your trust, and so we will take care to keep your data accurate and to up to date. If you inform us of a change, then we will take steps to amend that data as soon as is reasonably possible. We want to make sure that any data we have about you is lawfully kept and that it is accurate.
- The right to erasure: You may ask us to delete your data and withdraw consent at any time at [[EMAIL]]. We will honor this request as allowed by law. After a reasonable, legal period of time, we will not keep your data. So, for example, if you we end up doing business together through a contract, we will only keep the contract specific information as long as the pertinent laws require.
- The right to restrict processing: At any time, you can inform us that you want us to restrict processing and we will satisfy that request as soon as reasonably possible. Some types of processing are required for us to continue our relationship with you. We will always follow relevant laws about electronic record retention.
- The right to object processing: If you are not satisfied with our data processing methods, you may complain to the data privacy authority where you live.
- The right to data portability: If you give electronic personal data either by 1) consent to store your data or 2) we enter into a contract with each other, then you can request us to provide you with machine-readable data of your account information. In the case that we would process your data via automated means, you would also have this right, called the Right to Portability.
- Rights relating to automated processing of personal data: The right to opt out of and/or restrict the use of automated decision making according to artificial intelligence with respect to your data.
- The right to withdraw consent: We will inform you clearly which data we want to collect and how we want to use it so you can give informed consent. We do not use pre-ticked boxes and we ask you to positively show us your consent by ticking a box. You may withdraw consent at any time. If you wish to withdraw your consent or unsubscribe from any of our communications, you may contact us at: [[EMAIL]]. We will keep a record of when and how we get consent from you so that we can be accountable. It is our practice to regularly review consents to check that the relationship, the processing, and the purposes are consistent.
- The right to be informed where your data is located: We will advise you where your data is located and how we transfer your data as part of the services that we provide to you. We also protect your data and identity. We confirm that only you are accessing our website and services. RESIDE uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Drive with strong data protection and regulatory compliance policies. We will store your data at AWS and encrypted Google Drive repositories in North America and we can access or process that data from the US or a vendor located internationally.
