Data transfers to recipients outside of the European Economic Area
We may transfer your data to affiliated companies or third party service providers located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) in jurisdictions that are not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission finding them to provide an adequate level of protection of personal data, i.e. a level of protection of fundamental rights and freedoms that is essentially equivalent to that guaranteed within the EU.
However, to ensure an adequate level of protection for your personal data, we will comply, and require the compliance of our third party providers, with one of the transfer mechanisms specified in the GDPR and approved by the EU Commission. You can ask for a copy of such appropriate safeguards by contacting Flixmedia Data Protection Office.
How long we keep your personal data
We have implemented appropriate retention periods for your personal data collected or otherwise processed on or through the website as set forth in our data retention policy. Where our processing of your personal data is based on legitimate interests or compliance with legal obligations, it will be deleted as soon as the underlying purpose has expired. We may retain your personal information for longer periods if it is subject to legal requirements such as government reporting or fraud prevention which we are required to observe. Personal data processed based on your consent, which is intended to be processed for the duration of your association or relationship with the company will be deleted in accordance with the above principles, or earlier if and when you withdraw your consent to continued processing.
Your rights regarding the processing of your personal data under the GDPR
European Union citizens and residents have the following rights under GDPR:
- inquire whether and what kind of personal data we hold about you and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such personal data
- request the correction or supplementation of personal data about you that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, or to
- obtain the erasure of personal data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, processed based on withdrawn consent, processed for legitimate interests that, in the context of your objection, do not prove to be compelling, or processed in non‑compliance with applicable legal requirements.
In addition, you have, subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law and without limitation, the rights to:
- request us to restrict the processing of personal data in certain situations where you feel its processing is inappropriate,
- object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of personal data for legitimate interests, and to
- request portability of personal data that you have actively or passively provided to us (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such personal Data is based on consent or a contract with you and is carried out by automated means.
If you desire to exercise any of the rights indicated above, you must provide the requested information in the Data Subject Rights Request (DSRR) Form found here
There is no fee for a Subject Access Request, however, your request must be reasonable and proportional as to not overburden the organization with overly broad requests that would be financially prohibitive to address.
