We will never disclose your personal data to third parties outside The Global Pioneers Inc. without your consent or another lawful basis, unless legally obliged to do so. For example, we may rely on service providers to:

  • provide you our Website (such as a hosting provider); or
  • target our promotional information (such as a marketing company).

These third parties are only allowed to process your personal data on our behalf and upon our written instruction. We also warrant that all those third parties are selected with due care and are committed to observing the safety and integrity of your personal data.

We process your personal data both within and outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the USA. In order to process your personal data for the purposes outlined above, we may also transfer your personal data to third parties who process on our behalf outside the EEA. Each entity outside the EEA that processes your personal data will be bound to observe adequate safeguards with regard to the processing of your personal data.

For The Global Pioneers Inc., such safeguards result from the fact that we are directly bound by compliance with EU legislation in the context of personal data protection. For third parties, such safeguards may be the consequence of:

  • The recipient country having legislation in place which may be considered equivalent to the protection offered within the EEA; or
  • A contractual arrangement between us and that entity; or
  • An approved certification mechanism, such as the EU-US Privacy Shield decision adopted by the European Commission on 12 July 2016.

9. What quality assurances do we comply with?

We do our utmost best to process only those personal data which are necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned above.

Your personal data are only processed for as long as needed to achieve the purposes listed above or up until such time where you withdraw your consent for processing them. Your withdrawal of consent may imply that you can no longer use the whole or part of our Website. We will de‑identify your personal data when they are no longer necessary for the purposes outlined above, unless there is:

  • An overriding interest of The Global Pioneers Inc., or any other third party, in keeping your personal data identifiable; or
  • A legal or regulatory obligation or a judicial or administrative order that prevents us from de‑identifying them.

You understand that an essential aspect of our marketing efforts pertains to making our marketing materials more relevant to you. We do this by customizing your unique profile based on relevant characteristics as outlined in Article 6 of this Privacy Policy and then use this profile to provide you with communications, promotions, offerings, newsletters and other promotional information about materials and services that may interest you.

We will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to keep your personal data safe from unauthorized access or theft as well as accidental loss tampering or destruction. Access by our staff members or third parties’ personnel will only be on a need-to-know basis and be subject to strict confidentiality obligations. You understand, however, that safety and security are best efforts obligations which can never be guaranteed.

10. What are your rights?

You may at any time request information about your personal data, rectification, erasure or restriction of your personal data and you may object to further processing thereof by contacting the Data Protection Officer via dpo@goodchoices.org or the contact details below.

More specifically, you have the right to request access to all personal data processed by us pertaining to you, meaning that you have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal data. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for multiple subsequent requests for access that are clearly submitted for causing nuisance or harm to us. Each request must specify which data categories you wish access to and for what processing activities.

You have the right to rectification, i.e. to ask that any personal data pertaining to you that are inaccurate, are corrected free of charge. If you submit a request for correction, your request needs to be accompanied of proof of the flawed nature of the data for which correction is asked.

You have the right to withdraw your earlier given consent for processing of your personal data.

You have the right to erasure, i.e. to request that personal data pertaining to you be deleted if these data are no longer required in the light of the purposes outlined above or if you withdraw your consent for processing them. However, you need to keep in mind that a request for deletion will be evaluated by us against:

  • Our and a third parties' interests which may override your interests; or
  • Legal or regulatory obligations or administrative or judicial orders which may contradict such deletion.

You have the right to restriction instead of deletion, i.e. to request that we limit the processing of your personal data if:

  • We are verifying the accuracy of your personal data; or
  • The processing is unlawful and you oppose the deletion of your personal data; or
  • You require your personal data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, while we do no longer need your personal data for the purposes listed above; or
  • We are verifying whether our legitimate interests override your interests if you exercise your right to object (see below).

You have the right to object to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes and, in addition, if:

  • There are justified reasons connected with your particular situation that warrant such objection; and
  • The processing is based on our legitimate interest and our legitimate interests do not override your interests.

You have the right to data portability, i.e. to receive from us in a structured, commonly-used and machine-readable format all personal data you have provided to us if the processing is based on your consent or a contract with you and the processing is carried out by automated means.

If you wish to submit a request to exercise one or more of the rights listed above, you can contact our Data Protection Officer by sending an e‑mail to dpo@goodchoicesebook.org. An e‑mail requesting to exercise a right will not be construed as consent with the processing of your personal data beyond what is required for handling your request. Such request should meet the following conditions:

  • State clearly which right you wish to exercise; and
  • State clearly the reasons for exercising your right if such is required; and
  • Your request should be dated and signed; and
  • Your request should be accompanied by a digitally scanned copy of your valid identity card proving your identity. If you use the contact form, we may ask you for your signed confirmation and proof of identity.

We will promptly inform you of having received your request. If the request meets the conditions above and proves valid, we will honor it as soon as reasonably possible and at the latest thirty (30) days after having received your request. If you have any complaints regarding the processing of your personal data by us, you may always contact our Data Protection Officer by sending an e‑mail to dpo@goodchoicesebook.org. If you remain unsatisfied with our response, you are free to file a complaint with the competent data protection authority (see the list of national authorities at edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en).
