5. Disclosure of your information to third parties

6. International transfers of personal data

6.1      Jupiter is a global business. Our customers and our operations are spread around the world. As a result we collect and transfer Personal Data on a global basis. That means that we may transfer your Personal Data to locations outside of your country.

6.2      Where we transfer your Personal Data to another country, we will ensure that it is protected and transferred in a manner consistent with legal requirements. In relation to data being transferred outside of Europe, for example, this may be done in one of the following ways:

• the country that we send the data to might be approved as offering an adequate level of protection for Personal Data;
• the recipient might have signed up to a contract based on “standard contractual clauses” obliging them to protect your Personal Data; or
• in other circumstances the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your Personal Data outside Europe.

6.3      You can obtain more details of the countries we transfer data to and of the protection given to your Personal Data referred to above (including a copy of the standard data protection clauses which we have entered into with recipients of your Personal Data) by contacting us as described in section 10 below.

7. How we safeguard your information

7.1      We have extensive controls in place to maintain the security of our information and information systems. Appropriate controls (such as restricted access) are placed on our computer systems. Physical access to areas where Personal Data is gathered, processed or stored is limited to authorised employees.

7.2       As a condition of employment, Jupiter employees are required to follow all applicable laws and regulations, including in relation to data protection law. Unauthorised use or disclosure of confidential client information by a Jupiter employee is prohibited and may result in disciplinary measures.

8. How long we keep your personal data

8.1       How long we will hold your Personal Data for will vary and will be determined by the following criteria:

• the purpose for which we are using it – Jupiter will need to keep the data for as long as is necessary for that purpose; and
• legal obligations – laws or regulation may set a minimum period for which we have to keep your Personal Data.

9. Your rights

9.1       In all the above cases in which we collect, use or store your Personal Data, you may have the following rights and, in most cases, you can exercise them free of charge. These rights include:

• the right to obtain information regarding the processing of your Personal Data and access to the Personal Data which we hold about you;
• the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Data at any time. Please note, however, that we may still be entitled to process your Personal Data if we have another legitimate reason for doing so. For example, we may need to retain Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation;
• in some circumstances, the right to receive some Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or request that we transmit those data to a third-party where this is technically feasible. Please note that this right only applies to Personal Data which you have provided directly to Jupiter;
• the right to request that we rectify your Personal Data if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
• the right to request that we erase your Personal Data in certain circumstances. Please note that there may be circumstances where you ask us to erase your Personal Data but we are legally entitled to retain it;
• the right to object to, or request that we restrict, our processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances. Again, there may be circumstances where you object to, or ask us to restrict, our processing of your Personal Data but we are legally entitled to refuse that request; and
• the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection regulator if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us.
