This means that the period of time for which we store your personal data may depend on the type of data we hold. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

We will only transfer your information to a third party service provider or overseas, where we are satisfied that adequate levels of protection are in place to protect the integrity and security of any information being processed and compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws.

How we secure your personal information

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent unlawful or unauthorised use, access or accidental loss of personal information. We also seek to ensure our service providers do the same.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party.

We may disclose personally identifiable information in response to legal process, for example in response to a court order or a subpoena, or in response to a law enforcement agency’s request, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, and as otherwise required by law. Our agents and contractors may have access to personally identifiable information to help carry out the services they are performing for us.

We may disclose information to third parties if you consent to us doing so as well in the following circumstances:

You agree that we have the right to share your personal information with the following recipients or categories of recipients:

  • any department or authorised person within our company or any member company within our group, which means any subsidiary or holding company within the meaning of sections 7 and 8 of the Companies Act 2014;

General rights

  • If you would like us to delete your information from our records, please contact us using the contact details below and we will respond within a reasonable time. Please note that we may be required to retain certain information by law and/or for our own legitimate business purpose.

Users from the European Economic Area 

If you are from the European Economic Area, you have rights (with some exceptions and restrictions) to:

  • object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or for profiling to the extent it relates to direct marketing.  You can object at any time and we shall stop processing the information you have objected to, unless we can show compelling legitimate grounds to continue that processing which would override your interests, rights and freedoms or in connection with the enforcement or defence of a legal claim;
  • access your personal data. If you make this kind of request and we hold personal data about you, we are required to provide you with information on it, including a description and copy of the personal data and why we are processing it.  Any such request should be submitted to us in writing to  sales@manhattan.ie.  We will need to verify your identity in such circumstances and may request more information or clarifications from you if needed to help us locate and provide you with the personal data requested.  There is usually no charge applied to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).  However, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee.  Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances;
  • request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances.  This right, however, will not apply where we are required to process personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation or where the processing of this information is carried out for reasons of public interest in the area of public health.  Erasure rights do not apply where the data is processed for historical research purposes or statistical purposes;
  • request correction or updating of the personal data that we hold about you and that is inaccurate. If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, you may request to have your personal information updated and corrected. To do so at any time, please contact us at sales@manhattan.ie;
  • request the restriction of our processing of your personal data where (i) you have contested the accuracy of the personal data we hold on record in relation to you or for a period of time to enable us to verify the accuracy of the personal data; (ii) the processing of your personal data is unlawful and you request the restriction of use of the personal data instead of its erasure; (iii) we no longer require your personal data for the purpose of processing but you require this personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or (iv) where you have contested the processing (under Article 21(1) of the GDPR) pending the verification of our legitimate grounds. If you request this, we can continue to store your personal data but are restricted from processing it while the restriction is in place;
  • withdraw your consent to our use of your personal data. When you use our website you may have been asked to consent to the dropping of a cookie. You may withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data that has been derived from cookies. If you do withdraw consent, that will not affect the lawfulness of what we have done with your personal data before you withdrew consent;
  • complain to your local data protection authority about our collection or use of your personal data.

If you exercise the rights above and there is any question about who you are, we may require you to provide information from which we can satisfy ourselves as to your identity.

If you are from the European Economic Area and would like to exercise any of these rights in relation to any information we hold about you via this website please contact us using the contact details provided below. We will consider and respond to your request in accordance with the relevant law.

Data Portability

Where we process your personal data by automated means (i.e., not on paper) and this processing is based on your consent or required for the performance of a contract between us, you have the right to request from us a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to request that we transmit your personal data in this format to another controller.

Profiling

Profiling is an automated form of processing of personal data often used to analyse or predict personal aspects about an individual person. This could relate to a person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, reliability, behaviour, location or movements. An example of this would be where a bank uses an automated credit scoring system to assess and reject a loan application.

You have the right to be informed if your personal data will be subject to automated decision making, including profiling. You also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated process, including profiling, where that decision impacts on your legal rights. There are some exceptions to this rule, where, for example, the decision is necessary in connection with the performance of a contract between us, is authorised by law or where you have given your explicit consent to this automated processing. In this case, however, we do not engage in profiling or automated processing for profiling purposes.

Personal Rights

The rights described in this section are personal rights and are exercisable only by the individual person (or data subject) concerned.

 

Cookies

What are cookies and why we use them

The Site may use cookies from time to time. “Cookies” are small text files which are stored by your browser on your computer and are normally used to gather statistical information and to analyse trends of use or access to a website. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

Cookies may be used to save your personal preferences so you do not have to re-enter them each time you access the Site.

Do Not Track Disclosures

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms.

International Transfers

Personal Data may be transferred to our trusted partners and service providers who maintain their servers outside of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), where the privacy and data protection laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. There are special requirements set out under Chapter V of the GDPR (with which we would comply) to regulate such data transfers and ensure that adequate security measures are in place to safeguard and maintain the integrity of your personal data on transfer.

For more information about this and the safeguards in place relating to such transfers, please contact us at sales@manhattan.ie.

Security Measures

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

 

Marketing Communications

General

We will not use your data to send marketing communications to you about promotions, competitions, updates and new products that may be of interest to you, unless we have your permission to do so.

Your right to object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for our marketing purposes. To object or if you change your mind at any later time, you can withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes by contacting us at sales@manhattan.ie. You may also opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by selecting the unsubscribe option when you receive an electronic marketing communication from us. The withdrawal of your consent will not impact upon the lawfulness of processing based on your consent prior to the withdrawal.

Our responsibility for website links

This Policy is limited to the personal information which we collect and use via this Site. We do provide links within this Site to other websites, including social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.  We always endeavour to deal with vendors and other third parties who are GDPR compliant or, in the case of the third parties located outside of the EEA, who have adequate security measures in place to safeguard the security of personal data.  However,  if you follow these links, you should use these websites in conjunction with their applicable user and privacy notices as their data practices fall outside the scope of this Policy and are governed by their privacy policies. Further, we, our employees, agents, holding company and subsidiaries can have no responsibility or liability for the content or reliability of any third party materials or websites referenced by hyperlink or other means on the Site or control over the information collected by any third party website and we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you may provide on such websites.  We encourage you to carefully read their privacy policies.

Updates

This Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in law, best practice or a change in our practices regarding the treatment of personal information.  Any changes made to this Policy from time to time will be published at the Site.  Any material or other change to the data processing operations described in this Policy which is relevant to or impacts on you or your personal data, will be notified to you in advance by e-mail.  In this way, you will have an opportunity to consider the nature and impact of the change and exercise your rights under the GDPR in relation to that change (e.g to withdraw consent or to object to the processing).  If you do not agree to the changes, please do not continue to use our Site.
