Privacy Policy of Champs Technologies

Additional information for Users in the European Union

This section applies to all Users in the European Union, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and, for such Users, supersedes any other divergent or conflicting information contained in this privacy policy. Further details regarding categories of Data processed, purposes of processing, categories of recipients of the Personal Data, if any, and other information on the Personal Data are available in the section “Detailed information on the processing of Personal Data” in this document.

Legal basis of processing

The Data Controller may process Personal Data relating to the User if one of the following conditions applies:

• the User has given consent for one or more specific purposes;
• processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the User and/or any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
• processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Controller is subject;
• processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Controller;
• processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller or by a third party.

In any case, the Controller will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Further information on retention time

Unless otherwise specified in this document, Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose for which they have been collected and may be retained for a longer period due to legal obligations or based on User consent.

Therefore:

• Personal Data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between the Controller and the User shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed.
• Personal Data collected for purposes of the Controller’s legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfill such purposes. Users may obtain specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the Controller.

Where processing is based on User consent, the Controller may retain Personal Data for longer until such consent is withdrawn. Furthermore, the Controller may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period in compliance with a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.

Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the rights of access, erasure, rectification, and data portability cannot be exercised after expiration of the retention period.

User rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Users may exercise certain rights regarding their Data processed by the Controller.

In particular, Users have the right to do the following, within the limits of applicable law:

• Withdraw consent at any time. Users have the right to withdraw consent where they have previously given their consent to the processing of their Personal Data.
• Object to processing of their Data. Users have the right to object to the processing of their Data if the processing is carried out on a legal basis other than consent.
• Access their Data. Users have the right to learn if Data is being processed by the Controller, obtain disclosure regarding certain aspects of the processing, and obtain a copy of the Data undergoing processing.
• Verify and seek rectification. Users have the right to verify the accuracy of their Data and ask for it to be updated or corrected.
• Restrict the processing of their Data. Users have the right to restrict the processing of their Data. In this case, the Controller will not process their Data for any purpose other than storing it.
• Have their Personal Data deleted or removed. Users have the right to obtain the erasure of their Data from the Controller.
• Receive their Data and have it transferred to another controller. Users have the right to receive their Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, if technically feasible, to have it transmitted to another controller without any hindrance.
• Lodge a complaint. Users have the right to bring a claim before their competent data protection authority or take legal action.

Users also have the right to learn about the legal basis for Data transfers abroad, including to any international organization governed by public international law or set up by two or more countries, such as the UN, as well as about the security measures taken by the Controller to safeguard their Data.

Details about the right to object

Where Personal Data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in the Controller, or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller, Users may object to such processing by providing a ground related to their particular situation.

Users must know that, however, should their Personal Data be processed for direct marketing purposes, they can object to that processing at any time without providing any justification. To learn whether the Controller is processing Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, Users may refer to the relevant sections of this document.

How to exercise these rights

Any requests to exercise User rights may be directed to the Controller through the contact details provided in this document. These requests are free of charge and will be addressed by the Controller as early as possible and always within one month, providing Users with the information required by law. Any rectifications, erasures, or restrictions of processing will be communicated by the Controller to each recipient, if any, to whom the Personal Data have been disclosed unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. At the User’s request, the Controller will inform them about those recipients.
