THIRD PARTY PRIVACY NOTICE – EU DATA SUBJECTS

Introduction

This privacy notice is provided in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and any EU national laws implementing or supplementing the same (the “Data Privacy Laws”). Its provisions are only applicable to those persons who are EU data subjects, i.e., those persons currently present in the EU or European Economic Area (EEA) or who provided their personal data while present in the EU or EEA.

IGI and its subcontractors (collectively, the “Firm”, “we”, “us”, “our”) are committed to complying with the applicable data privacy and security requirements in the countries in which they operate. The Firm complies with internationally recognized standards of privacy protection, and with various privacy laws globally including, but not limited to, the GDPR.

To the extent that the Firm is deemed to be a data controller under Data Privacy Laws, this notice fulfils our obligation to provide certain information to third parties whose personal data we process in this capacity as required by Article 14 of the GDPR.

Who is Collecting Data?

Data will be collected by the Firm.

Data We Collect

The Firm collects the following categories of personal data through our website:

Contact data: Through our “Contact” form, we may collect information about data subjects such as name and contact details (email, phone number, etc.) in order to communicate and facilitate the provision of our services with our clients or potential clients.

Website visitor information:

When you visit our website, we use Google Analytics. Google Analytics is Google’s free web analytics tool that helps us to understand how our visitors engage with our websites. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and it reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. Analytics uses its own set of Cookies to track visitor interactions. These Cookies are used to store information, such as what time the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the site before, and what site referred the visitor to the web page. Google Analytics customers can view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with their website so they can improve their website and how people find it. A different set of cookies is used for each website, and visitors are not tracked across multiple sites. Analytics customers are obliged to notify users of their use of analytics software. To disable this type of Cookie, some browsers will indicate when a Cookie is being sent and allow you to decline Cookies on a case-by-case basis. In addition to declining Cookies, you can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on in your browser, which prevents Google Analytics from collecting information about your website visits. You can opt out by clicking here.

Processing of Personal Data

We collect personal data to offer and administer our services.

The data you provide to us will be processed in accordance with the purposes specified in this notice, namely:

1. To provide the products or perform the services requested by clients and individuals pursuant to a letter of engagement, statement of work, or similar (where the processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests in conducting and managing our business).
2. To provide the products or perform the services requested by clients and individuals using our website (where the processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests in conducting and managing our business).
3. For complying with obligations provided by laws, current regulations and European legislation (e.g. tax regulations) (where processing is based on a legal obligation).

For legitimate business purposes to advise you through e-mail, phone call, or post, in the framework of our ordinary commercial relationship, about other products or services similar to the products or services we have provided to you and that we think will be of interest to you (where the processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests).
5. For marketing purposes. For example, we may use your information to further discuss your interest in the services and to send you information regarding the Firm and its group companies such as information about promotions, events, products or services. You can withdraw your consent or opt out of receiving our marketing communications at any time. If you are not located in the EU, you may opt-out of receiving marketing communications and updates at any time. You can manage your receipt of marketing and non-transactional communications by clicking on the «unsubscribe» link located on the bottom of the Firm’s marketing emails.

7. For operating and improving the Firm’s website and your customer experience. For example, we may collect and analyze data on your use of our website and process it for the purpose of improving our online experience.
8. For security purposes. For example, we may use your data to protect the Firm and its third parties against security breaches and to prevent fraud and violation of the Firm’s applicable agreements (where the processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests).
9. Whenever we process your personal data for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection laws. Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests – we will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You have the right to object to this processing if you wish.
