Our Commitment to GDPR

crag-side is committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and protecting the privacy rights of individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland. This page outlines how we comply with GDPR requirements and what rights you have regarding your personal data.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data only when we have a legal basis to do so. Our legal bases include:

• Consent: When you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose
• Contract: When processing is necessary to fulfill a contract we have with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract
• Legal Obligation: When processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations
• Legitimate Interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided these do not override your rights and freedoms

Your GDPR Rights

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You have the right to request access to your personal data that we hold. This includes the right to obtain confirmation of whether we are processing your data and, if so, to receive a copy of that data.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data we hold about you. You also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten," you can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when:

• The data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected
• You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
• You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
• The data has been unlawfully processed

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.

International Data Transfers

We are based in Canada. If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, please note that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in Canada. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, including:

• Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
• Adequacy decisions where applicable
• Other legally approved transfer mechanisms

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the purpose of processing.

When determining retention periods, we consider:

• The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data
• The purposes for which we process the data
• Whether we can achieve those purposes through other means
• Applicable legal requirements

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

• Pseudonymization and encryption of personal data
• Ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems
• Regular testing, assessment, and evaluation of security effectiveness
• Process for regularly restoring availability and access to data in case of incidents

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay. If the breach poses a high risk, we will notify you directly. We will also notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.

Third-Party Processors

We may engage third-party service providers to process personal data on our behalf. When we do so, we:

• Conduct appropriate due diligence
• Ensure appropriate contractual protections are in place
• Verify that processors provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You can contact the supervisory authority in:

• Your habitual residence
• Your place of work
• The place where you believe the alleged infringement occurred

However, we encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly.
