6. Lawful Bases for Processing

Where the UK GDPR applies, we rely on one or more lawful bases for processing your personal information.

Contract

Where processing is necessary to provide the Service or perform our agreement with you.

Legal obligation

Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Legitimate interests

Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Consent

Where we rely on your consent, we will request it separately where appropriate and explain what you are consenting to.

The applicable lawful basis depends on the particular processing activity. We do not rely on consent where another lawful basis is more appropriate.

7. Legitimate Interests

Where we rely on legitimate interests, these may include operating and improving the Service, maintaining security, preventing fraud and abuse, protecting our systems and users, administering our business, responding to enquiries, and establishing or defending legal claims.

Where required, we balance our legitimate interests against your interests, rights and freedoms before relying on this lawful basis.

8. Special Category Data

We do not generally seek to collect special category personal data through the Service.

You should not provide sensitive personal information through the Service unless it is specifically requested for a lawful purpose.

If special category data is processed, we will do so only where an appropriate legal condition under applicable data protection law applies.

9. User Content and Public Information

Some features of Canary Bulls may allow information you submit to be visible to other users or the public.

You should carefully consider what personal information you choose to publish through public profiles, posts, communications or other user-generated content.

Do not publish another person's personal information without an appropriate lawful basis or their permission where required.

10. Who We Share Personal Information With

We may share personal information where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

Depending on the Service, recipients may include:

  • hosting and infrastructure providers;
  • database and storage providers;
  • email and communications providers;
  • security and fraud-prevention providers;
  • analytics providers;
  • customer support providers;
  • payment providers, where applicable;
  • professional advisers;
  • law enforcement or regulatory authorities where legally required; and
  • other service providers acting on our behalf.

Where a third party processes personal information on our behalf, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the processing is subject to appropriate contractual and legal safeguards.

11. Business Transfers

If Canary Bulls is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets or similar transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction where lawful and subject to appropriate safeguards.

12. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers or recipients may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable data protection law.

Depending on the circumstances, safeguards may include an adequacy decision, appropriate contractual safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide the Service, maintain security, comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it is processed.

When personal information is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymise it or otherwise securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

14. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, disclosure or other unlawful processing.

Security measures may include access controls, authentication, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, logging, secure development practices and other safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and risks involved.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

15. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We may use automated processes for operational purposes such as security, fraud detection, abuse prevention, analytics or personalisation.

Where applicable data protection law gives you rights in relation to solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects, we will provide the information and safeguards required by law.

16. Marketing Communications

We may send service-related communications that are necessary to operate your account or provide the Service.

Where we send direct marketing communications, we will do so in accordance with applicable data protection and electronic communications laws and will provide appropriate ways to manage your preferences or opt out where required.

17. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Canary Bulls may use cookies, local storage, pixels and similar technologies to operate, secure, analyse and improve the Service.

Further information about the technologies we use and how applicable consent choices are managed is provided in our Cookie Policy.

20. Complaints to the ICO

We would appreciate the opportunity to resolve privacy concerns directly, so please contact us first where possible.

The ICO can be contacted through its official website or telephone service.

21. Children and Young People

The Service is not intended for users who are below the minimum age stated in our Terms of Use.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where doing so is prohibited by applicable law.

22. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, applications or services.

Those third parties operate independently of Canary Bulls and may have their own privacy policies and practices. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services that we do not control.
