When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Your Privacy Rights
In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.
If you are a resident in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/data-protection-complaints/personal-information-complaint/.
Data Breach
A privacy breach occurs when there is unauthorised access to or collection, use, disclosure, or disposal of personal information. You will be notified about data breaches when Harry Cooper believes you are likely to be at risk or serious harm. In the event that Harry Cooper becomes aware of a security breach which has resulted or may result in unauthorised access, use, or disclosure of personal information, Harry Cooper will promptly investigate the matter and notify the applicable Supervisory Authority no later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
Controls For Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. We support Do-Not-Track and will honor DNT signals received from your browser. If you activate the DNT setting on your browser, we will not track your online browsing activity. If a uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals is finalized, we will follow such standards and update this privacy notice to reflect those changes.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy notice from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy notice on this page. You are advised to review this privacy notice periodically for any changes.
