Where we store your personal data
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.
If data is transferred by us from within the EEA to a jurisdiction outside the EEA, it is done so in accordance with EU Data Protection laws. We rely on the following legal bases to transfer your information:
a. Model Clauses: The European Commission has adopted standard contractual clauses (also known as Model Clauses), which provide safeguards for personal information that is transferred outside of Europe. We may use these Model Clauses when transferring personal information outside of Europe.
b. Privacy Shield: We may rely on the EU-US Privacy Shield to transfer personal information to some of our third party service providers in the United States, where they are certified to receive such information under the Privacy Shield Program.
c. Necessary for the performance of a contract: If you wish to use the Services, you need to agree to our Terms of Use, which set out the contract between us and you. The Services are voluntary, you can choose not to use them. We are a global company operating in many countries (including in the US) and from time to time may use technical infrastructure in the US to deliver the Services to you. In accordance with the contract between us, we need to transfer your personal information to the US and to other jurisdictions as necessary to provide the Services.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology.
Information Security
Unfortunately, the Internet is not a secure medium and we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. However, we have put in place a range of security procedures as set out in this privacy policy.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) an account and password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should never divulge your password or account details to anyone else.
Please be aware that communications over the Internet, such as emails/webmails are not secure unless they have been encrypted. Your communications may route through a number of countries before being delivered. This is the nature of the World Wide Web/Internet.
We cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal information that is beyond our control.
We will use reasonable endeavours to implement appropriate policies, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control (having regard to the type and amount of that data) from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification, unlawful destruction or accidental loss.
Retention
We will retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to provide you with the Services, for as long as your Opendesk user account is active or for as long as we need to satisfy legal requirements. If you would like to make any changes to your personal data or delete it, you can contact us.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may benefit from a number of rights regarding the information we process about you, including rights outlined by GDPR for data subjects in the EU. If you are an EU resident you have the right under certain circumstances:
- To be provided with access to your personal information held by us
- To request that your personal data be deleted or updated
- To request that we cease processing your personal information
- To request that we limit or restrict the ways in which we use your personal information
- To object to the processing of your information based on our legitimate interests, as outlined above

Where you have provided consent for data processing, you can withdraw this consent at any time. For example, you may withdraw your consent to receive marketing materials from us by using the unsubscribe link included on all marketing communications.
If you have any requests to exercise your data information rights you can contact us. Any information access request may be subject to a reasonable fee to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.
Third Party Websites
Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.
