2. Third parties and international transfers

Recipients within the SEDIVENTION Group

Your personal data may be received by different recipients within the SEDIVENTION Group. Depending on the categories of personal data and the purposes for which the personal data has been collected, different SEDIVENTION entities and the internal departments within the SEDIVENTION entities may receive your personal data. For example, our IT department may have access to your account data, and our marketing and sales departments may have access to your account data or data relating to product orders. Moreover, other departments within the SEDIVENTION Group may have access to certain personal data about you on a need to know basis, such as the legal department, the finance department or internal auditing.

Transfer to service providers

We may engage external and internal service providers, who act as our data processor in order to provide certain services to us, such as website service providers, order fulfilment providers, customer care providers, marketing service providers, IT support service providers, and other service providers who support us in maintaining our commercial relationship with you in any other way. When providing such services, the external service or internal providers may have access to and/or may process your personal data. We require those service providers to implement and apply security safeguards to ensure the privacy and security of your personal data.

Other recipients

We may transfer - in compliance with applicable data protection law - personal data to law enforcement agencies, governmental authorities, judicial authorities, legal counsel, external consultants, or business partners. In case of a corporate merger or acquisition, personal data may be transferred to the third parties involved in the merger or acquisition. We will not disclose your personal data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes or for any other purposes without permission.

International transfers of personal data

The personal data that we collect or receive about you may be transferred to and processed by recipients that are located inside or outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For recipients located outside of the EEA, some are certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and others are located in countries with adequacy decisions (in particular, Argentina, Canada (for non-public organizations subject to the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) and Switzerland), and, in each case, the transfer is thereby recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection from a European data protection law perspective. Other recipients might be located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European data protection law perspective. We will take all necessary measures to ensure that transfers out of the EEA are adequately protected as required by applicable data protection law. With respect to transfers to countries not providing an adequate level of data protection, we will base the transfer on appropriate safeguards, such as standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission or by a supervisory authority, approved codes of conduct together with binding and enforceable commitments of the recipient, or approved certification mechanisms together with binding and enforceable commitments of the recipient. You can ask for a copy of such appropriate safeguards by contacting us as set out in Sec. 6 (Contact us) below.

3. What rights do you have and how can you assert your rights?

If you have declared your consent regarding certain collecting, processing and use of your personal data (in particular regarding the receipt of direct marketing communication via email, SMS/MMS, fax, and telephone), you can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect. Further, you can object to the use of your personal data for the purposes of marketing (free of charge) without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs in accordance with the basic tariffs (see below for further information on the right to object).

(vi) Right to object

Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data by us and we can be required to no longer process your personal data. Such right to object may especially apply if SEDIVENTION collects and processes your personal data for profiling purposes in order to better understand your business interests in SEDIVENTION' products and services.
