9. Transfers to third countries

In connection with the lawful handling of your personal data, we sometimes transfer your data to organisations based in the USA. These companies are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield, ensuring compliance with the Principles. This mechanism is approved by the European Commission as providing adequate protection and means of transferring data to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and is therefore GDPR compliant.

We will not transfer your personal data to organisations or persons in the USA or any other third countries, if these countries are determined by the European Commission as failing to provide an adequate level of data protection under Art. 45 of the GDPR.

Should we need to transfer your personal data to unsecure third countries in the future, this will only take place if the recipient in in the relevant third country has met the necessary level of data protection to be in compliance with this Privacy Policy and EU Data Protection legislation.

Transfers will therefore be made on the basis of one of the following grounds:

That the recipient is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework (Privacy Shield), which ensures that it applies robust mechanisms for assuring compliance with the Principles.
That we have entered into standard data protection clauses with the receiver, that according the European Commission offer sufficient safeguards on data protection for the data to be transferred outside of the EU or EEA.

You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data under Art. 16 GDPR. Similarly, you have the right to have personal data erased (the ‘right to be forgotten’) under Art. 17 GDPR.

The restriction will apply until Luxplus ApS has finished considering your requests.
Where the data has been unlawfully processed by Luxplus ApS, but you oppose erasure of your personal data and seek restriction of it instead.

G) Right to data portability

As processing of your personal data is based on consent and/or contract, and as data processing is done automatically, you are entitled to data portability.

The right to data portability means that you have the right to receive the personal data that you yourself have disclosed to Luxplus ApS in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format.
