3. WITH WHO SCRIBO SHARES MY PERSONAL DATA?

Scribo works with different commercial partners that support our business. These companies supply us some services such as issuing of receipt for the electronic invoicing, payment services, hosting services and web agency.

Sometimes these companies have access to some of your personal data in order to supply their services. They are not allowed to use your personal data for their own purpose, and they are nominated as data controller or data processor, where exist a specific agreement for the process of your personal data or standard clauses.

 

4. ARE MY PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERRED ABROAD?

Scribo as data controller may share your identification data, your contact data with suppliers of services like for example services for the delivery of the newsletter or shipping companies. This transfer of data may be carried out also in country outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Whenever Scribo transfers your personal data outside of EEA, Scribo contractually ensures a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

a. we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see: European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.

b. where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see: European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.

c. where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US. For further details, see: European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.

Please contact us if you need more information regarding the specific mechanism that we used by us when transferring your personal data outside of EEA.

 

5. ARE MY PERSONAL DATA SECURE, AND WHERE THEY WILL BE STORED?

We understand that the security of your personal data is important. We provide reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security controls to protect your personal information. All information you provide us is stored on secure servers. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot warrant or guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. In case you would like to have more information on the specific security measures taken in order to save your data than please contact us.

Scribo puts in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on Scribo’s instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

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

Your personal information and data files are stored on Scribo’s servers and the servers of companies we engaged to provide services to us. Your personal information may be transferred across national borders because Scribo has servers located worldwide and the companies we engaged to support us are located in different countries around the world (for example United States). As set forth in paragraph 4 below the data that we collect from you may therefore be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for Scribo or for one of Scribo’s suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order and the provision of support services.
