  1. Your rights

8.1    In this Section 8, we have summarised the rights that you have under data protection law. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.

8.2    Your principal rights under data protection law are:

(a)       the right to access;

(b)       the right to rectification;

(c)       the right to erasure;

(d)       the right to restrict processing;

(e)       the right to object to processing;

(f)       the right to data portability;

(g)       the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and

(h)       the right to withdraw consent.

8.3    You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal data. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee. Provision of such information will be subject to:

(a)    the first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies will be subjected to a $10 fee.

(b)    the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for this purpose, we will usually accept a photocopy of your passport certified by a solicitor or bank plus an original copy of a utility bill showing your current address).

8.4    You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.

8.5    In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have been unlawfully processed. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

8.6    In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

8.7    You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

8.8    You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this purpose.

8.9    If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

8.10  To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

8.11  You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by contacting us using the details outlined in section 13.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Top Shelf Media collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Top Shelf Media’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Top Shelf Media’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Top Shelf Media may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Top Shelf Media also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on twelfthroundauto.com blogs/sites. Top Shelf Media only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Top Shelf Media’s websites choose to interact with Top Shelf Media in ways that require Top Shelf Media to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Top Shelf Media gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at twelfthroundauto.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Top Shelf Media are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Top Shelf Media collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Top Shelf Media. Top Shelf Media does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Top Shelf Media may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Top Shelf Media may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Top Shelf Media does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Top Shelf Media discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Top Shelf Media’s behalf or to provide services available at Top Shelf Media’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Top Shelf Media’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Top Shelf Media will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Top Shelf Media discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Top Shelf Media believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Top Shelf Media, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Top Shelf Media website and have supplied your email address, Top Shelf Media may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Top Shelf Media and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Top Shelf Media takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
