Records of correspondence, such as product-related complaints, may be kept for a longer period sufficient to safeguard against legal claims.

10. YOUR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNDER GDPR AND UK GDPR
Residents of the European Union, the European Economic Area (the "EEA"), and/or the United Kingdom (the "UK") may have additional rights with respect to their Personal Data under the General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR") or the UK GDPR in UK domestic law. With some differences, some other jurisdictions, including Brazil and Canada, have data protection laws providing protections similar to those of the GDPR.
Where the GDPR is applicable law, the following GDPR definitions apply (and supersede any definitions set forth above in this Privacy Policy):
- "personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;
- "processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;
- "controller" means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law;
- "processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller (other than employees of the controller).
For purposes of the GDPR, the Company may be the controller of your personal data processed in connection with the provision of the Services. By reason of such processing, the Company may also be the processor of your personal data under the GDPR.
Where processing is governed by the GDPR, the legal basis for processing your personal data will be one or more of the following:
- your consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more specific purposes;
- processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into such a contract;
- processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Company as data controller is subject;
- processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of you or of another natural person;
- processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest;
- processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Company as data controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
Your personal data may also be transferred to, stored in, or otherwise processed in a country or jurisdiction where data protection laws are less stringent than the GDPR. By submitting your Personal Data to us, you agree to such transfer, storage, and other processing. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and in keeping with this Privacy Policy.
Subject to certain exceptions, under the GDPR you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
- right of access (also known as a "data subject access request") (right to receive confirmation that we are processing your personal data and, if so, to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you);
- right to rectification (right to have inaccurate personal data rectified or completed if it is incomplete);
- right to erasure (right for individuals to have personal data erased in certain circumstances, such as when the Company no longer needs it, or you withdraw your consent, where applicable, and there is no other legal basis for processing);
- right to restrict processing (right to restrict or "block" the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as if you contest its accuracy or object to the Company processing it);
- right to data portability (right to obtain your personal data from the Company that you consented to give us, or that was provided to us as necessary in connection with our contract with you, in situations where processing is carried out by automated means);
- right to object (right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, which includes the right to stop your personal data being used for direct marketing);
- right to withdraw consent (right to withdraw your consent, at any time, for the Company to process your personal data; but this withdrawal of consent will not affect any processing of your personal data that has already occurred);
- right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.
These rights are subject to certain conditions and exemptions. For example, the Company may not be obligated to erase your personal data if retention is necessary for legal reasons.
To exercise these rights, please email us at support@menteeinsight.com with details of the specific request you are making. We try to answer every request as promptly as possible, within the time period stated by applicable law. When you email us with a request, the Company may ask you to supply us with confirmation of your identity. To the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, the Company reserves the right to charge a fee for its response to your request.
