Visitors from the European Union
If you are a resident of the European Union (EU), please note that the EU has determined that the laws of the United States do not provide adequate protection for your personal information. Accordingly, we are transferring your personal information from the EU to the U.S. based on your consent, or our need to use your personal information to provide information, products or services that you order or request from us, and subject to the additional protections described below.
On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect in the EU. The GDPR extends certain rights to natural persons involving the privacy of their personal information.
Our Firm is the data controller for any personal information provided via our website. Our Firm does not have a data protection officer in the EU. Any information that you provide to us will be stored in the U.S., we do not intend to transfer your personal data to another country or international organization.
Platinum Trust Group will retain any personal information that you provide via our website for the time required to pursue the purposes for which it was collected, including the purpose of satisfying any applicable legal, professional, contractual, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements. If you request that we stop sending you marketing materials, we will continue to keep a record of your contact details and appropriate information to enable us to comply with your request not to be contacted by us.
Under the GDPR, individuals are granted the following rights:
Right of Access
You have the right to ask what personal information we have about you in our possession. You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal data free of charge so long as it does not adversely affect the rights of others. We may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs for additional copies. The right of access includes the right to request that we update, correct or complete your personal information in our possession.
Right of Erasure
You have a right to request that data be deleted or erased when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or processed, when you withdraw your consent, when data is unlawfully processed, to comply with a legal obligation of the EU or a Member State, or when you object to the processing and we are unable to demonstrate compelling, legitimate grounds for the processing which overrides your rights, freedoms or interests. Personal data does not have to be erased when and to the extent it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have a right to restrict the processing of your personal data when you contest the accuracy of the personal data in our possession until we are able to verify its accuracy, or if the processing is unlawful and you oppose its erasure and request restriction instead.
Right to Data Portability
The right to data portability is triggered when processing activity was based on your consent, or was necessary for the performance of a contract, and the processing was carried out by automated means. This right, however, shall not adversely affect the rights of others.
Sensitive Information
Information related to your racial or ethnic identity, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health (including genetic and biometric data), sex life or sexual orientation (Sensitive Information) is afforded special protection under EU law. Please note we do not currently intend to collect any Sensitive Information through our website. We will not knowingly collect, use or disclose any Sensitive Information about you through our website without your express consent, subject to certain limited exceptions applicable under EU law.
Withdrawing Your Consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to [email protected]
Changes to Our Processing
If we are using your personal information on the basis of your consent, and we change our Privacy Policy to permit any use or disclosure of your personal information that is materially different from the uses for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you, we will obtain your consent before we make such further uses of your personal information.
How to Exercise These Rights
You can exercise these rights by sending an email to [email protected].
We will review any requests we receive and will endeavor to respond in a timely manner. For security reasons, we may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity before taking action on any request, and to ensure your right of access and the exercise any of GDPR right does not adversely affect the rights of others.
We reserve the right to refuse to act on a request, or to charge a reasonable administrative fee when a request is either manifestly unfounded or excessive because of its repetitive character.
