How do I make a privacy right request?

If you have a question about our personal information practices, please contact us.

If you make a request, we will confirm that we have received your request and let you know if we need anything else from you. We typically fulfill your request within one month unless the request is particularly complex, or we receive multiple requests from you. In these cases, we may extend the time period, but we will always let you know.

 

For your protection, we only fulfill requests for the personal information associated with the email address and/or name that you identify in your request, and we may need to take other steps to verify your identity before taking any action. When permitted by law, we may charge an appropriate fee to cover the costs of responding to your request.

 

The Supervisory Authority

If you believe that the processing of your personal information is not lawful, you can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

The IPCO is located at 2 Bloor Street East, Suite 1400 Toronto, ON M4W 1A8 (www.ipc.on.ca). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the IPCO.

 

Collection and storage of personal information as well as type and purpose of their use

 

a) processing of data for the use of the website

When you access the website via your browser, we only collect personal information that your browser or mobile device automatically transmits to us in order to enable you to visit our website and to ensure stability and security. These can be in particular:

 

  • Your IP address,
  • Your device identification, i.e., the unique number of the end device,
  • the content, date, and time of the request,
  • the time zone of the requesting computer or mobile device,
  • the website from which the request was forwarded,
  • the requested page,
  • the http status code,
  • the amount of data transferred,
  • browser ID,
  • your operating system,
  • language and version of the browser software and
  • Advertising Identifier (IDFA)

 

The processing of this data serves to ensure a smooth connection of the website, the display of our services and listings, the usability of our services, the evaluation and system security and stability, as well as for other administrative purposes.

 

We process the transmitted data strictly for the intended purpose, for a period of 90 days, in the interest of being able to detect, limit and eliminate attacks on our websites. After this period has expired, we delete or anonymize the IP address, unless there are separate legal obligations to store it. The legal basis for this processing of your personal information is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).

 

b) processing of data when you are contacting us

If you contact us, we process the following data from you for the purpose of processing and handling your enquiry: Name, contact details -if provided by you- and your message.

 

The legal basis of the data processing is our obligation to fulfil the contract and/or to fulfil our pre-contractual obligations (Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interest in processing your enquiry (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR).

 

c) processing of data for our newsletter

On our website, you can subscribe to our newsletter. In principle, our newsletter can only be received by the data subject if he or she registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

 

The personal information collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The processing of your e-mail address is thus based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To revoke your consent simply contact us using info@TheResourceReport.com

 

The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, (MailChimp). MailChimp is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. When you enter data for the purpose of receiving newsletters (e.g., email address), this data is stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA.

This website utilizes push notifications to send visitors periodic updates including but not limited to news releases and published articles to the website. All visitors can agree to receive or decline to receive push notifications. Push notifications are meant to enhance the users experience and for informational and entertainment purposes.

 

d) processing of data for the use of our services

We process various data within the framework of the provision of our services for example when you advertise with us and for the initiation and processing of the existing contractual relationship between you and us. If you have commissioned us to provide a service, we process your data (if provided: Name, contact details address, bank details and payment data) and all information that is necessary in the context of fulfilling the services, exclusively for the purpose of processing and handling the contractual relationship. Accordingly, the data is processed on the basis of our contractual relationship (Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR) as well as to fulfil our legal obligations (Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR).

 

e) Use of cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your respective device (PC, smartphone, tablet, etc.) and saved by your browser. For further information please refer to our Cookie Policy. The legal basis for the use of cookies is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR).

 

Duration of storage

We store your personal information for as long as necessary to achieve the respective storage purpose. Afterwards, your data will be deleted by us, unless we are obliged to store it for a longer period of time due to tax, commercial or other legal storage or documentation obligations, or you have agreed to a storage beyond this period (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

 

Data security

We use technical and organizational security measures to ensure that your personal information is protected against loss, incorrect modification, misuse, or unauthorized access by third parties. The security measures are constantly adapted to the improved technical possibilities. All data exchanged between your computer and us over the Internet is encrypted with 256-bit. The encryption is done with SSL technology. This is a technology that encrypts all of your personal information, in such a way that this data cannot be viewed by any unauthorized third party while the data is being transmitted over the Internet. You can recognize the transmission of encrypted data by the display in your browser. Your browser indicates the security of the website by an icon in the form of a padlock or a key in the status bar at the bottom of the window. In addition, a green bar will be displayed in your browser bar to show you that you are connected to our server and can be sure that your data will not end up on a phishing server. If your browser is configured appropriately, you will receive a warning message the first time you access the website. This simply informs you that your data will be protected by the website.

Disclosure of data

 

In general, and unless otherwise mentioned in this policy, we will not share your data. However, if we do so we will only pass on your personal information to third parties if:

you have given your express consent (Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR), this is legally permissible and necessary for the fulfilment of a contractual relationship with you (Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR

  • if there is a legal obligation for the disclosure (Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR),
  • the disclosure is necessary for the protection of legitimate business interests and for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR), and
  • If we commission third parties with the processing of personal information (Art. 28 of the GDPR).

 

Hyperlinks

Our website contains so-called hyperlinks to websites of other providers. When you activate these hyperlinks, you will be redirected from our web site directly to the web site of the other provider. You will recognize this by the change of URL, among other things. We cannot accept any responsibility for the confidential handling of your data on these third-party web sites, as we have no influence on whether these companies comply with data protection regulations. Please inform yourself about the handling of your personal information by these companies directly on these websites.

 

Accuracy

It is important that the data we hold about you is accurate and current, therefore please keep us informed of any changes to your personal information.

Social Media 

We are present in various "social media" platforms in order to communicate with our customers, interested parties and users registered there and to be able to inform them about our offers there. We would like to point out that you use these platforms and their functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g., commenting, sharing, rating).

In addition, your data may be processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from your usage behaviour and the resulting interests. This allows, for example, advertisements to be placed within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to your interests. Cookies are usually stored on your computer for this purpose. Independently of this, data that is not directly collected from your devices may also be stored in the usage profiles (especially if you are a member of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

We, as the provider of this information service, do not collect and process any data from your use of our service beyond this.

The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in providing users with effective information and communicating with users. If you are a member of a social network and do not want the network to collect data about you via our website and link it to your stored membership data with the respective network, you must log out of the respective network before visiting our website, delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser.

After logging in again, however, you will once more be recognizable to the network as a specific user. In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would also like to point out that these can most effectively be asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us using info@TheResourceReport.com.

 

Updating your information

If you believe that the information we hold about you is inaccurate or that we are no longer entitled to use it and want to request its rectification, deletion or object to its processing, please do so by contacting us. For your protection and the protection of all of our users, we may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests.

 

Keep in mind, we may reject requests for certain reasons, including if the request is unlawful or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy of another user. Also, we may not be able to accommodate certain requests to object to the processing of personal information, notably where such requests would not allow us to provide our service to you anymore.

 

Personal information and children

Our services are aimed at people aged 18 and over. We will not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from minors under the age of 18 without first obtaining consent from a legal guardian through direct offline contact.

 

Can the privacy policy be changed without my consent?

 

The entire offer of The Resource Report, like all Internet offers, is based on extensive data processing. The processes, software and interfaces used in this process are continuously developed and optimized. As a result, data processing may also be affected. The Resource Report may change this privacy policy at any time without notice and adapt it to future processing. Please inform yourself regularly about the privacy policy in force at any given time.

 

Your contact for data protection

If you have any questions regarding the collection, processing, or use of your personal information, or if you wish to request information, correct, block or delete data, or revoke any consent you have given, please contact us using info@TheResourceReport.com.
