EUROPEAN REGULATIONS

For individuals who are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland (collectively “EEA Residents'') at the time of personal data collection, the legal bases for processing your information under the European Union (“EU”) General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) depends on the particular personal information, the context in which the collection occurs, and the purposes of the collection. 

We generally only process data because of legal requirements, the performance of contracts, legitimate business interests balanced with your data protection interests, or your consent. In some exceptional instances, we may need to process your personal information to protect your interests or those of another person.

We rely chiefly on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses to effect the international and onward transfer of personal information that the Company collects in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom and Switzerland (collectively “European Personal Information”), to the extent the recipients of the European Personal Information are within a country that the EU has deemed to not ensure adequate data protection.

The Company is responsible for the processing of personal information it receives and thereafter transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. Before the Company shares your information with third parties, the Company will conclude a written agreement with the third party, which will ensure that the third parties provide the minimum level of protection for the personal information as applicable data protection laws may require.

  • For personal information that the Company has collected during the past 12 months before your request, which is not subject to an exception, California residents can access and delete their personal information. If you are a California resident exercising your rights, we will not deny services to you, charge you different prices or give you a different level or quality of service.
  • To the extent the Company sells your personal information to third parties, California residents can request that the Company discloses to you: (i) the categories of your personal information that the Company sold, and (ii) the categories of third parties to whom the Company sold your personal information. You can direct the Company not to sell your personal information. In the ordinary course of business, the Company does not sell your personal information and the Company will never sell your personal information to third parties unless you explicitly consent.

To make such a request, please send an email to legal@tacen.com.
