Certainly! Here’s the continuation of the Privacy Policy:


6. International Data Transfers (Continued)

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing at least one of the following safeguards:

• Adequacy Decisions: We may transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission, which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

• Consent: In some cases, we may seek your explicit consent to transfer your personal data, after providing you with detailed information about the potential risks of the transfer.

If you would like further information about the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA, please contact us at service@labcart.com.

7. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed in an unauthorized way. These measures include:

• Encryption: Data encryption in transit and at rest.

• Access Controls: Restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.

• Regular Audits: Regular testing, assessment, and evaluation of the effectiveness of our security measures.

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

8. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

When determining the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

9. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including:

• Right to Access: You can request access to your personal data and check that we are lawfully processing it.

• Right to Rectification: You can request correction of any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you.

• Right to Erasure: You can request that we delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it.

• Right to Object: You can object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms.

• Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that we suspend the processing of your personal data in certain scenarios.

• Right to Data Portability: You can request the transfer of your personal data to you or a third party in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we are relying on consent to process your personal data, you can withdraw your consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at service@labcart.com. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
