The EU GDPR Highlighted Addendum


The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), effective May 25, 2018 in the EEA countries and Switzerland, requires MYDIVERSITY.COM and the publishers and researchers using our services to provide data subjects with information about the processing of personal data. (“Personal data”, as used in the GDPR, means information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including name, address, cookie identifiers, mobile device identifiers, and more; “data subject” here means the person involved; and “processing” of data includes collection, storage, and use.)


This section provides representations and information in compliance with our GDPR obligations, for the benefit of our users located in the EEA countries and Switzerland only. 


MYDIVERSITY.COM: IS A DATA CONTROLLER & A DATA PROCESSOR


EU data protection law makes a distinction between organisations that process personal data for their own purposes (known as “data controllers”) and organisations that process personal data on behalf of other organisations (known as “data processors”). If you have a question or complaint about how your personal data is handled, we encourage you to direct your inquiry to the relevant data controller, since data controllers have primary responsibility for your personal data.


MYDIVERSITY.COM may act as either a data controller or a data processor in handling your personal data, depending on the precise circumstances. For instance, for personal data that we use internally to create our data-related services, such as ad performace, and for personal data that we collect about our referrers and customers for use in marketing to them, we are a data controller. But when we handle personal data strictly on your behalf for of our customers to provide our services to them (for example, if you provide your details and CV to apply for a job)we are a data processor.


LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA


The GDPR requires us to identify the legal ground we’re relying on to process personal data about you. Our legal grounds for processing your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy will typically be because: 


Our Legal Basis For Processing For The Personal Data:



  • The processing is in our legitimate interest. In some cases, we use legitimate interest as a legal basis for processing personal data to provide our and our commercial partners’ services. A legitimate interest we rely on, for instance, is the tailoring of offers and opportunities, which is beneficial to users and offers them a value exchange and goes beyond the original collection. We also rely on legitimate interest when we use personal data to maintain the security of our services, including fraud detection and identifying and fixing bugs. 

  • Contractual Relationships. Sometimes, we process personal data as necessary under a contractual relationship we have, such as our customer records and contact information.

  • Legal Obligations. Finally, some processing of data may be necessary for us to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations.


PERSONAL DATA RETENTION


As a general matter, we retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services, or for other important purposes such as complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements.


EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS AS A DATA SUBJECT 


As a data subject covered by the GDPR, you have certain rights about the personal data that data controllers hold about you, including right of access, right to request correction, right to be forgotten (i.e., deletion), and right to object to processing (including profiling for online ad targeting).


RIGHT TO ACCESS


If you are a consumer and wish to exercise your right to access personal data we process as a data controller, you may do so by requesting access through the e-mail address privacy@MYDIVERSITY.COM and following the instructions we provide you to authenticate your request and obtain access. We will assess requests to exercise data access rights on a case-by-case basis, factoring the data we have linked to it, truly and solely belongs to the person making the request, as well as the potential risk of harm through disclosure of personal data to the wrong individual. Because improper disclosure would likely harm the privacy rights and freedoms of the person involved, we may limit the personal data we make available. We only grant requests where we are the data controller. Where we act as a processor for one of our referrers or advertisers, we will refer your request to that company.


RIGHT TO CORRECT


If you wish to exercise your right to correct Personal Data, you may do so by contacting us at the contact information below. 


RIGHT TO OBJECT TO PROCESSING OR TO WITHDRAW CONSENT


You may withdraw consent for processing where we rely on consent. If you do so, we will cease processing your personal data for such purposes within 30 days, to request this you can email us at privacy@MYDIVERSITY.COM


RIGHT TO ERASURE


You also have the right to request erasure of personal data that we hold as a controller. The above opt-out process satisfies this right, because when a user opts-out by submitting a request to privacy@MYDIVERSITY.COM, we stop using your personal data to provide our services to you; the data is permanently rendered disconnected to your device and will be automatically deleted from our production system. We may retain copies of some personal data for our own internal and necessary purposes, such as auditing, accounting and billing, legal, bug-detection, backups, and (if applicable) to ensure that you receive and that we are able to track the rewards you have received.


RIGHT TO LODGE COMPLAINTS


You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. However, we hope that you will first consult with us, so that we may work with you to resolve any complaint or concern you might have.
