LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

1. rise.uncode.io is committed to the lawful, fair and transparent use of personal data. For every use of your personal data we have described so far, we process your personal data on the grounds that our processing is necessary for legitimate interests we pursue as a business, namely that our business relies entirely on the ability to use your personal data to produce research and insight for our clients.
2. If you have any questions about the grounds under which we process your personal data, or would like to find out more about the approach we take to determine that these grounds apply, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details in the Contact Us’ section.

TRANSFERRING PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE EEA

1. We take all steps possible to ensure that your personal data remains within the European Economic Area (EEA). However, in some cases, we need to share data with other Rise. group companies or third parties that are in countries outside the EEA, as described earlier. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK and so they may not protect the use of your personal information to the same extent.
2. In these cases, we put in place appropriate safeguards to make sure your personal data remains adequately protected. Specifically, we make use of one of the following:

• Standard contractual clauses: We use standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to organizations outside the EEA. These contractual commitments have been adopted by the European Commission and ensure adequate protection for personal data transferred to countries outside the EEA by binding recipients of personal data to certain data protection standards including obliging them to apply appropriate technical and security measures. We use standard contractual clauses when we transfer data to other Rise. Group companies and transfers to recipients that are neither Privacy Shield certified nor located in a country covered by an adequacy decision
• EU-US Privacy Shield: The Privacy Shield is a program agreed between the EU and the US which aims to protect the personal data of anyone in the EU when it is transferred to the US by placing data protection obligations on US companies that receive personal data from the EU. rise.uncode.io may rely on these safeguards when transferring data to companies based in the US where those companies are Privacy Shield certified.
• Adequacy decisions: Where the European Commission has determined that a country outside the EU offers an adequate level of data protection, personal data may be sent to that third country without implementing any other safeguards mentioned above. rise.uncode.io may rely on adequacy decisions when transferring data to companies based in countries where such assurances have been given. Please contact us using the details at the end of this notice for more information about the protections that we put in place and to obtain a copy of the relevant documents
