6. Your Rights and Ours
We provide ConsultStream to people all over the world and provide many of the same privacy tools and controls to all of our users regardless of where they live. However, your experience may be slightly different than users in other countries to ensure ConsultStream respects local requirements.
6.1 We have specific legal bases to use your information.
ConsultStream has carefully considered the legal reasons it is permitted to collect, use, share, and otherwise process your information. If you want to dig in to learn more and better understand the nuances, we’d encourage you to check out this additional information about data processing. And no, we don’t sell your personal information.
Individuals in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and across the globe have certain statutory rights in relation to their personal data. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, as well as to seek to update, delete, or correct this information.
To the extent that ConsultStream’s processing of your Personal Data is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation or other applicable laws requiring a legal basis for processing Personal Data, such as the UK Data Protection Act and the Brazilian General Data Protection Act (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados), ConsultStream primarily relies on its legitimate interests, described above, to process your Personal Data. Where we rely on legitimate interests to process your Personal Data, you can object to that processing by contacting us. In response to your objection, we will stop processing your information for the relevant purposes unless we have compelling grounds in the circumstances or the processing is necessary in the context of legal claims. ConsultStream may also process Other Information that constitutes your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes and you have a right to object to ConsultStream’s use of your Personal Data for this purpose at any time.
This section provides additional details about the personal information we collect about California consumers and the rights afforded to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act or “CCPA,” as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act or “CPRA”.
The California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”) requires us to disclose categories of personal information we collect and how we use it, the categories of sources from whom we collect personal information, and the third parties with whom we share it, which we have explained above.
At the time this policy enters into force, we are not subject to the provisions of the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), as ConsultStream does not exceed the thresholds to fall within the definition of a “business” under the CCPA.
We do not sell the personal information of our users.
For more information about these rights, please contact us.
6.2 We move your data to make ConsultStream work for you.
ConsultStream may transfer your Personal Data to countries other than the one in which you live, including transfers to the United States. To the extent that Personal Data is transferred abroad, ConsultStream will ensure compliance with the requirements of the applicable laws in the respective jurisdiction in line with ConsultStream’s obligations. When we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area, we use appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or rely on countries deemed by the European Commission to provide adequate data protection.
We also use data centers and cloud providers, and engage our affiliates and third-party partners and service providers located in many parts of the world to help us provide our services. If data will be shared with a third party, we require them to maintain the same protections over your data that we provide directly.
