Non-US Privacy Notice

Role and Data Controller Contact Details 

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and related data protection laws around the world distinguish between organizations that process personal information for their own purposes (known as “controllers”) and organizations that process personal information on behalf of other organizations (known as “processors”). 

We act as a controller with respect to personal information collected from you as you engage with our Sites and Services. If you have questions with respect to our processing of your information as a controller, you can contact us at privacy@carouselindustries.com.

Lawful Basis for Processing 

Certain non-US privacy laws require a “lawful basis” for processing personal information. Our lawful bases include the following: 

• To fulfill obligations in the agreement between you, and your organization and Carousel. To use our Sites, you agreed to our Terms. To use our Services, your organization engaged with Carousel in an agreement. We process your personal information to fulfill these contractual obligations.   
• To pursue our legitimate interests. Our legitimate interests include, among others, understanding how our Sites are functioning, improving our Sites and Services, developing new Services, preventing fraud, and delivering the Services. Where we rely on a legitimate interest to process personal information, we carry out a balancing test to weigh the legitimate interest against your right to protection of your personal information; however, our processing of your personal information will never override your fundamental rights and freedoms, and you can always exercise your right to object to such processing. 
• Consent. In certain situations where you provide us with consent, we may process your personal information. 
• To comply with law. In limited circumstances, we may process personal information in order to comply with legal obligations. To the extent we have received such information from third parties with whom we have agreed to certain contractual requirements or obligations (e.g., standard contractual clauses), we will use our reasonable efforts to dispute the disclosure of personal information, unless legally required to do so. 

Onward Transfer 

If you choose to provide us with your information, you consent to the transfer and storage of that information on our servers located in the United States. The information we collect is subject to state and federal law in the United States. If you are accessing our websites from outside the United States, please be advised that you are transferring your personal information to us in the United States where data protection and privacy laws may be different or less stringent than the laws of your country. 

If the GDPR applies and your data is transferred outside the relevant jurisdictions to the United States or any other country, we will transfer your personal information subject to appropriate safeguards, such as an adequacy decision by the European Commission on the basis of Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Standard Contractual Clauses, as provided from time to time by the European Commission. You can receive additional information about where your personal information is transferred and the appropriate safeguards by contacting us. 

Your Data Subject Rights 

You have the right to:  

• Access, rectify, or erase any personal information we process about you; 
• Data portability – that is, asking us to transfer your personal information to any third party of your choice; 
• Restrict or object to our processing of your personal information; and 
• Where applicable, withdraw your consent at any time for any processing of your personal information. 

To exercise your rights, please send an e-mail to privacy@carouselindustries.com. Depending on the type of right being exercised, we reserve the right to verify your identity.  

Complaints 

If you have a complaint about our use of your personal information or our response to your request(s) regarding your personal information, you may submit a complaint to the Data Protection Supervisory Authority in your jurisdiction. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach a data protection regulator and welcome you to first direct an inquiry to us.
