Special Terms for Residents of the European Economic Area and Switzerland

​

As of May 25, 2018, a new privacy law is in effect in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR expands privacy rights of individuals in the EU and EEA with respect to their “personal data”, which means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. For those of our members, customers, suppliers and business contacts who are natural persons located in the European Economic Area and Switzerland (hereafter collectively referred to as “Data Subjects”), the following section sets forth information about how DEAD BIRD, LLC treats your personal data (information), our valid bases for processing your personal information, and your rights under the GDPR.

Lawful Basis for Processing Personal Information

Under the GDPR, entities like DEAD BIRD, LLC that act as data controllers – meaning those entities that determine the purpose and means of processing of personal information -- must have a lawful basis for processing that information. In order to provide Data Subjects with DEAD BIRD, LLC products and services and otherwise comply with our legal obligations, DEAD BIRD, LLC needs to collect and process certain types of personal information from Data Subjects. The lawful bases that we rely upon to process the personal information held about Data Subjects are as follows:

​

• To send communications to Data Subjects about our activities and offerings to the extent we have Data Subject consent or when doing so is in our legitimate interests (and not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of Data Subjects).

• To comply with our legal obligations.

• For consumer policy and mobilization purposes carried out in DEAD BIRD, LLC’s legitimate interests and in compliance with your fundamental rights and freedoms.

• For direct marketing purposes carried out in DEAD BIRD, LLC’s legitimate interests and in compliance with your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Personal Information Retention

We shall retain your personal information for so long as is required for the purposes of the relevant agreement between you and DEAD BIRD, LLC (see our Terms & Conditions/User Agreement) and/or in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements and tax and accounting rules. We will endeavor not to keep personal information in a form that allows a Data Subject to be identified for any longer than is reasonably necessary for achieving the permitted purposes. At the end of the applicable retention period, we may destroy, erase from our systems, or anonymize personal information as part of such efforts. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Storage and Transfer of Personal Information

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect Data Subjects’ personal information, prevent unlawful or unauthorized processing of personal information, and prevent unauthorized disclosure of, or accidental loss of, or damage to, such information.

​

We may process personal information in, and transfer personal information to, countries that may not guarantee the same level of protection for personal information as the country in which Data Subjects reside, and which may not have received an adequacy decision from the European Commission.

​

Personal information will also be processed by staff who work for us and operate outside the European Economic Area. This includes staff engaged in, among other things, the provision of administration and support services. All such staff are subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

​

We restrict access to non-public personal information about Data Subjects to those of our employees and agents who need to know the information to enable us to provide services.

​

Rights in relation to Personal Information

Data Subjects have certain rights in relation to their personal information, including the right to be informed about the collection and use of their personal information, as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

These include, where certain conditions are met:

​

• the right to request access to the personal information we hold about them

• the right to have inaccurate information about them amended or updated

• the right to object to processing of personal information about them

• the right to withdraw consent at any time (where relevant)

• the right to have personal information about them erased or to restrict processing in certain limited situations

• the right to lodge complaints with applicable data supervisory authorities.

 

Data Subjects should use the contact information below to get more information and/or to make a formal request.

​

We will endeavor to keep the personal information we store about Data Subjects reasonably accurate and up-to-date by enabling them to correct it by request or by logging into My Account and correcting it directly. Data Subjects should notify us if any of their personal information changes or if they become aware of any inaccuracies in the personal information, we hold about them.
