We may also process and share your personal data if it is requested by a court of law or if it is necessary in order for us to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend us against legal claims.


4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The personal data that we collect may be shared with our distributors and other third parties in order for us to provide our services. The types of third parties with whom we may share your personal data are the following:

a) Service providers: We use third party service providers to manage some aspects of our business operations. We share personal data with such third parties with regard to IT infrastructure, operating and hosting services, marketing and communications and other IT services such as IT support, maintenance and development.

b) Subcontractors: We may share your personal data with subcontractors that we use for the production of our products.

c) Authorities: We may share your personal data with public authorities such as the police or tax authorities in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or as otherwise required by law.

Most of the service providers and subcontractors that we share personal data with are, in relation to us, so called data processors or sub processors. Such data processors and sub processors may only process transferred personal data on behalf of us and in accordance with our expressed instructions. When we use data processors and sub processors, we will enter into a data processing agreement or sub processing agreement that requires the other party to ensure that the personal data is only processed in accordance with our instructions, the agreement and applicable data pro-tection legislation. The data processors and sub processors currently used by OssDsign are listed in Appendix 1.

Authorities, and in some instances service providers, that we may transfer personal data to are independent data controllers. When your personal data is transferred to an independent data controller we do not control how the information is processed. The responsibility for the processing then falls on the authority or the company to which the transfer was made, including inter alia ensuring that you are informed of how the data is processed and that the processing is legal.


5. HOW WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

All personal data that we process is securely stored on Amazon AWS servers in Ireland, Europe. In general, we always strive to process your personal data within the EU and EEA. However, we may transfer your personal data to service providers who, either themselves or through hired sub-contractors, are located in or have business activities in a country outside the EU or EEA. In the event of such transfer, it will be made in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, for example, by ensuring that the country in which the recipient is located ensures an adequate level of data protection according to the European Commission or by use of standard contractual clauses that the European Commission has issued ensuring suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms. 


6. SECURITY MEASURES

We have taken a number of security measures to ensure that your personal data is kept secure. For example, access to the personal data is limited to employees and service providers who require it in the course of their duties and who are subject to a confidentiality agreement. Furthermore, we maintain appropriate safeguards and security standards to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure or misuse. We also monitor our systems to discover vulnerabilities in or-der to protect your personal data.
