5. Data transfers outside the EU

The ABT does not intend to transfer personal data to a third country or international organisation.

However, ABT uses service providers outside the European Union and in their cases, it cannot be excluded that personal data will be transferred outside the European Union. In the case of such transfers, ABT must provide one of the safeguards under Chapter V of the GDPR to ensure adequate protection of personal data. ABT applies the following safeguards to service providers outside the European Union:

  • In the case of Newfold Digital, Inc. (HostGator.com, LLC) transfers are based on the relevant European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for the Transfer of Personal Data to Third Countries (“standard contractual clauses”), unless the transfer’s specific location is to a country that has been determined by the European Commission, as applicable, to provide an adequate level of protection for individuals’ rights and freedoms for their personal information (“adequacy decision”). For more information on Newfold’s data processing click here.
  • In the case of Google Ireland Ltd, standard contractual clauses ensure adequate security of personal data. For more information on Google’s data processing click here.
  • Regarding Microsoft Corporation (Outlook), such transfers are also based on one of the mechanisms under Article 45-46 of the GDPR, either on an adequacy decision or on standard contractual clauses. For more information on Microsoft’s data processing click here.

6. Your Rights as a Data Subject

  • the purpose, duration, and legal basis for data processing;
  • the name and address of ABT as well as their activities related to data processing;
  • the identity of third parties to whom personal data are transferred and the purpose of such disclosures.

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, you have the right to request ABT to restrict the processing of your data until verification. If the data processing is unlawful or the storage period has expired, but you need your personal data in order to enforce your legal rights, you may also request the restriction of processing instead of the erasure your data.

Restriction of processing means that ABT will only store your data. They will not change the data or perform any other processing activity.

  • the processing is based on your consent; and
  • the processing is carried out by automated means.

When exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to request, where technically feasible, the direct transfer of personal data between controllers. The right to data portability must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

6.6 Right to withdraw consent

You are entitled to withdraw your consent at any time, without restriction and without giving any reason, free of charge. However, the withdrawal of your consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal.

6.7 Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation at any time to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interest.
