[Re: Privacy Compliance Officer]
PROVISIONS THAT APPLY WHEN INDIVIDUALS ARE BASED IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND/OR THE UK.
Lumichron complies with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation and the with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that went into effect on May 25, 2018. It was passed by European lawmakers to create a harmonized data privacy law across all the EU member states. Its purpose is to:
- support privacy as a fundamental human right,
- require companies that handle personal data to be accountable for managing that data appropriately, and
- give individuals rights over how their personal data is processed or otherwise used.
These conditions are supplemental to the terms set out above and apply where individuals are located in the EU and /or UK. Data Protection Legislation means the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679), the UK Data Protection Legislation and any other directly applicable European Union regulation relating to privacy. UK Data Protection Legislation means any data protection legislation from time to time in force in the UK including the Data Protection Act 1998 or 2018 or any successor legislation. Applicable Laws means (for so long as and to the extent that they apply to the provider) the law of the European Union, the law of any member state of the European Union and/or UK Law.

B. Personal Data: The Data Protection Legislation extends the definition of PII (as outlined above) to include any information by which an individual can be identified and includes location data and online identifiers.

C. Consent: In order for you to use this Site, it is necessary that you have consented to the use and processing of your Personal Data.

Transfer Outside the EEA: In order to provide you with the services we offer on this Site, it is possible that Personal Data collected from you will be transferred to and stored by us or our suppliers outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your Personal Data to countries that
have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data
by the European Commission.- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific
contracts approved by the European Commission which give Personal Data the same
protection it has in Europe. - Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer
Personal Data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires
them to provide similar protection to Personal Data shared between the Europe
and the US.
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific
F. Access to Personal Information: You have the right to access to your Personal Data.
