VIII. Your European Privacy Rights

If you are located in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction that has adopted laws substantially similar to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the following section explains your rights that you may exercise. The various rights are not absolute and each is subject to certain exceptions, or may be provided to you as required by applicable law.

  • The right of access – You may have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not your personal information is being processed by us, and about certain other information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Policy) about how it is used. You may also have the right to access your personal information, by requesting a copy of the personal information concerning you. This is so you are aware and can check that we are using your personal information in accordance with data protection law. We can refuse to provide information where to do so may reveal personal data about another person or would otherwise negatively impact another person's rights.
  • The right to rectification – You can ask us to take measures to correct your personal information if it is inaccurate or incomplete (e.g., if we have the wrong name or address for you).
  • The right to erasure – You may request the deletion or removal of your personal information where, for example, there is no compelling reason for us to keep using it or its use is unlawful. This is however not a general right to erasure and there are some exceptions, e.g., where we need to use the information to fulfil a request you have made, in defense of a legal claim, or to be able to comply with a legal obligation.
  • The right to restrict processing – You may have the right to ‘block’ or suppress the further use of your personal information when we are assessing a request for rectification or as an alternative to erasure. When processing is restricted, we can still store your personal information, but may not use it further.
  • The right to data portability – You may have the right to obtain and reuse certain personal information for your own purposes across different organizations (being separate data controllers). This only applies to your personal information that you have provided to us that we are processing with your consent and for the purposes of contract fulfillment, which is being processed by automated means. In such a case we will provide you with a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or (where technically feasible) we may transmit your data directly to a separate data controller.
  • The right to object – You may have the right to object to certain types of processing, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time insofar as that processing takes place for the purposes of our legitimate interests. We will be allowed to continue to process the personal information if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or we need this for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If you object to the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal information for such purposes.
  • The right to withdraw consent – Where we process your personal information on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that occurred prior to such withdrawal.
  • The right to provide us with directives regarding the use of your personal information after your death – In certain cases, you have the right to provide us with instructions on the management (e.g., retention, erasure, and disclosure) of your personal information after your death. You can change or revoke your instructions at any time.
  • The right to lodge a complaint – If you believe that we do not comply with applicable data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint before any competent data protection authority or government agency.

To exercise these rights you may contact us at any time as described below or you may CLICK HERE

Please contact us to be directed to the relevant DPA contacts.

PoolCorp’s accountability for personal information that it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party is described in the Privacy Shield Principles.
