Contractors or recipients associated with us are obligated to adhere to our instructions. Importantly, we do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We might share your information with our third-party service providers, agents, and subcontractors (Suppliers) to facilitate the provision of services to us or directly to you on our behalf.

5. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION BEYOND EUROPE

The personal information you furnish to us might be transferred or stored in countries situated outside the European Economic Area (EEA). For instance, if any of our servers or those belonging to our third-party service providers are periodically located in a country outside the EEA, or if our third-party suppliers transmit personal information out of the EEA, these countries may lack data protection laws similar to the EU and may not offer adequate data protection measures equivalent to those in the EEA.

In the event of such transfers or storage of your information outside the EEA, whether conducted by us or our third-party suppliers, we will implement measures to ensure proper security practices. Our goal is to safeguard your privacy rights in alignment with the principles outlined in this policy. These measures may involve imposing contractual obligations on the recipients of your personal information or ensuring that the recipients adhere to ‘international frameworks’ dedicated to ensuring sufficient protection. For more information on the protections we implement and to obtain relevant documents, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

If you use our services while outside the EEA, please be aware that your information may be transferred outside the EEA to facilitate the provision of these services.

6. SECURITY MEASURES AND CONNECTIONS TO EXTERNAL WEBSITES

We employ industry-standard 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt sensitive information like your name, address, and credit card details. This technology includes the following components:

  1. Authentication:Ensuring your browser recognizes that data is sent to the correct, secure server.
  2. Encryption:Encoding data so it can only be deciphered by the secure server.
  3. Data Integrity:Verifying that transferred data remains unaltered.

However, complete security of information transmitted over the internet is not guaranteed. While we strive to protect your personal information during online transmission, we cannot assure its security. By using the internet, you acknowledge its inherent security risks, and we won’t be held responsible for security breaches unless attributable to our fault.

For added security:

  • Always log out and close the browser on public computers.
  • When creating a password, use at least 8 characters with a mix of letters and numbers.
  • Change your password regularly through the “Sign In” and “Personal Information” sections.

Keep passwords private, and avoid using the same password for multiple accounts. We will never ask you to confirm account or credit card details via email. If you receive such an email claiming to be from bpsmallora.com, ignore it and do not respond.

Our Site, Apps, and social media pages may link to other websites not under our control. This privacy policy doesn’t apply to these sites, so read their privacy policies. We aren’t responsible for the privacy practices of other websites linked to ours. Your disclosure of personal information to third-party websites is at your own risk.

If you accessed our Site from a third-party website, we’re not accountable for the privacy policies of that site. Check the policy of the third-party website as we disclaim responsibility for their content, privacy practices, and terms of use. We make no endorsements or promises about their accuracy, content, or thoroughness.

This duration allows us to address any potential legal proceedings that may arise.

You possess several rights regarding your personal information according to data protection laws. For certain rights, we may request information to confirm your identity and, if necessary, assist us in locating your personal information. In most instances, we aim to respond within 30 days following the receipt of this information or, in cases where no additional information is needed, upon receiving complete details of your request.

a) You have the Right to have your personal data corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete.

Ensuring the accuracy of your information is a priority for us, and we are actively exploring ways to streamline the process of reviewing and correcting the information we have on record about you.

You can reach out to us using the contact details provided at the conclusion of this policy.

Should we rely on our legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing your personal information for specific purposes, you have the right to object to the use of your personal information for these purposes. You can raise your objection by emailing or writing to us using the address provided at the end of this policy. Except for situations where we are confident in our ability to continue processing your personal information, we will temporarily halt the processing in line with your objection until a thorough investigation is conducted. If, following our assessment, we agree that your objection aligns with your rights under data protection laws, we will permanently cease using your data for those purposes. In cases where we believe the continued use of your data is justified, we will provide a justification for such necessity.

Furthermore, if you wish to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes, your request will be automatically honored. To do so, you can utilize our unsubscribe tool.

c) You have the right to withdraw your consent to processing your personal data.

If we depend on your consent as the legal foundation for processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, simply contact us through the provided details at the end of this policy. Additionally, if you previously opted-in for direct marketing and wish to withdraw your consent for such communications, you can use our unsubscribe tool. It’s important to note that the use of your personal information before your withdrawal remains lawful.

d) You have the right to restrict us processing your personal data.

You have the right to request the limitation of your personal information processing under the following circumstances:

  1. When you believe its processing is unlawful.
  2. If you have objected to its use, and our inquiry is ongoing, or you need us to retain it in relation to legal proceedings.

During these scenarios, we may only proceed with processing your personal information under restricted conditions if we have obtained your consent or are legally authorized to do so. This may include purposes such as storage, safeguarding the rights of another individual or company, or in conjunction with legal proceedings.

e) you have the right to have your personal data erased.

Under specific circumstances, you have the option to request the removal of your personal information from our systems. This can be done by emailing or writing to us using the address provided at the end of this policy.

You retain the right to request a copy of the information we have on record about you. This can be done by emailing or writing to us using the address provided at the end of this policy. However, we may refrain from providing a copy of your personal information if it involves other individuals or if there exists another lawful reason to withhold such information.

g) You have the right to Move, Transfer or Copy your personal data into a standard, machine readable format

In instances where we depend on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal information, or when it needs processing in connection with a contract directly with you, you have the right to request a copy of that information in a structured data file. We will furnish this electronically in a commonly used, machine-readable form, such as a CSV file.
