Where is your information held
Our Website is hosted by Google Cloud Platform and by Digital Ocean. The servers where our website and data reside are all located within the European Economic Area (EEA), primarily with Google, Inc. (Google) who we contract for the provision of our technical services.
If you want to find out more about how Google stores your Personal Data then you can view their policies here.
If the location of our servers will change in the future, we will update this Policy.
Sharing your information
Just like about any organisation, we also work with a number of service providers: those who process personal data do so in the role of data processor. When we sign a contract with these providers we ensure that, if your data will be transferred outside the UK & EEA within their processing operations, it will be protected and transferred in a manner compliant with legal requirements.
If you’d like to request the full list of our processors that we work with then please email us at support@chaserhq.com. Occasionally, we may trial new tools and work with new processors in order to improve our Website and the Service that we deliver to you. These processors may not be listed in the section above whilst we trial their new features but we’ll endeavour to update our list accordingly if we integrate them into our Website or our Service permanently.
Your rights
You can get a copy of all the personal information we hold about you. This is known as the ‘right to access’.
You can object to us keeping or using your personal information. This is known as the ‘right to object’.
You can also ask us to delete, remove, or stop using your personal information if there is no need for us to keep it. This is known as the ‘right to erasure’ or the ‘right to be forgotten’.
There may be legal or other official reasons why we need to keep or use your data. But please tell us if you think that we should not be using it.
We may sometimes be able to restrict the use of your data. This means that it can only be used for certain things, such as legal claims or to exercise legal rights.
You can ask us to restrict the use of your personal information if:
- It is not accurate
- It has been used unlawfully but you don’t want us to delete it
- It is not relevant any more, but you want us to keep it for use in legal claims
- You have already asked us to stop using your data but you are waiting for us to tell you if we are allowed to keep on using it
- If we do restrict your information in this way, we will not use or share it in other ways while it is restricted.
To exercise any of the above rights please contact us at support@chaserhq.com.
We are usually able to resolve privacy questions or concerns promptly and effectively. If you are not satisfied with the response you receive, you may escalate concerns directly to your local courts or Data Protection Supervisory Authority competent for your jurisdiction (for example the Information Commissioner Office if you reside in the UK).
If you raise a concern, we may:
- request additional details from you regarding your concerns and personal data limited to what is necessary for the purpose of authenticating you;
- engage or consult with other parties in order to investigate and resolve your issue (and these parties will receive and process information about you); and/or
- keep records of your request and any resolution of your issue,
in each case in accordance with our data protection and other legal obligations.
How long we keep your personal information
We may keep your data for up to 10 years after you stop being a customer. The reasons we may do this are:
- To respond to a question or complaint, or to show whether we gave you fair treatment
- To study customer data as part of our own internal research
- To comply with laws that apply to us setting requirements for keeping records.
