GDPR and CCPA a rationalised approach.

We do business on a global scale, and as a such, we are required to meet the demands of privacy regulations and laws of many countries. At a high level, most data privacy legislation imposes many of the same types of obligations on organisations, and much of this regulation requires organisations to offer similar types of rights to individuals.

With that in mind, our data governance program and as a result this “privacy notice” adopts a rationalized approach that applies the strictest standards to meet the requirements of different privacy regulations around the world when seeking a solution to a privacy issue, or providing data subject rights, provided it does not violate any data privacy laws.

In these cases, we ensure that both ourselves and our partners take adequate and appropriate technical, physical, and organisational security measures to protect your data.

Data Retention

Personal data that we process for any purpose shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that. We will retain your data according to our Data Retention Privacy Policy & Procedures.

Ureka Media takes every reasonable measure and precaution to protect and secure the personal data that we process. We are implementing a robust set of data security policies and procedures as a part of our data governance program to protect personal information from unauthorized access, data incidents or breaches, or unintentional disclosure, disposal, or deletion.

Your rights

When we process personal data for purposes that are in our legitimate interests, we have carried out a Legitimate Interest Assessment to confirm what these interests are, to consider what effect the processing has on individuals, and to check if our interests in processing could be outweighed by individuals’ interests.

Additionally, data subjects located in the EU have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Those rights include, for example, the right to access the personal data we hold about you; the right to rectify inaccurate data; the right to erasure if you want all your data deleted from our systems; and the right to withdraw consent when you have provided it to us.

Data subjects who are US California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Apart from the rights already mentioned above we must enable and comply with a consumers request to opt-out of the sale of personal information to third parties.

We have a Do Not Sell My Personal Information link in a clear and conspicuous location on Ureka Media’s website and we will not request reauthorization to sell a personal information for at least 12 months after the person opts out.

There are some exceptions to these rights, however.

For example, it will not be possible for us to delete your data if we are required by law to keep it. Similarly, access to your data may be refused if making the information available would reveal personal information about another person or if we are legally prevented from disclosing such information.

If you have a concern about the way we handle your data you have the right to complain to the data protection authority in the country where you live, work, or where you believe a breach has occurred.

You can exercise those rights by written notice to info@urekamedia.com.
