Our processing of personal data of people who are in the EEA is governed by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”). Our processing of personal data of people who are in the UK is subject to the Data Protection Act 2018, which incorporates the GDPR as the UK GDPR. We will refer to the GDPR and the UK GDPR collectively as the “GDPR.” If you are not a located in the EEA or UK, this section does not apply to you and you should not rely on it.
The GDPR requires us to provide certain information to you about your personal information.
The data controller for this website is Main Data Group.
The Main Data Group Website Privacy Policy above describes the personal information that we collect, use, share, or otherwise process and the purposes for that processing in the course of operating our business (other than in the course of our consulting engagement, which is subject to a separate agreement). Personal information gathered through cookies and similar tracking technologies is used for the purposes described above.
Generally, we process personal information provided by visitors through our website or other interactions with us on the basis of our legitimate interests in conducting our business as a provider of information concerning pay programs. We may also process personal information on other bases permitted by the GDPR and applicable laws, such as when the processing is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations.
The categories of personal information that we process are described above.
We use service providers and contractors to manage our website and provide related services. Our service providers and contractors have entered into contracts with us that restrict what they can do with your personal information. If you would like specific information about our service providers and contractors who have received your information, please contact us at dataprivacy@maindatagroup.com with the subject line: “Request for My Personal Information.” and we will provide that information to you. We may also disclose your personal information to other categories of third parties described above.
Main Data Group’s administrative offices are based in the USA which is where we process personal information collected through our website. When you provide personal information to us, we request your consent to transfer that personal information to the USA. The USA does not have an adequacy decision from the European Commission, which means that the Commission has not determined that the laws of the USA provide adequate protection for personal information. Although the laws of the USA do not provide legal protection that is equivalent to EU data protection laws, we safeguard your personal information by treating it in accordance with the Main Data Group Website Privacy Policy.
We delete the personal information described above within a reasonable period after we no longer need to use it for the purpose for which it was collected (or for any subsequent purpose that is compatible with the original purpose). This does not affect your right to request that we delete your personal data before the end of its retention period. We may archive personal data (which means storing it in inactive files) for (7) seven years prior to its final deletion, as part of our ordinary business continuity procedures.
You have the right to request access to your personal data, to have your personal data corrected, restricted or deleted, to withdraw any consent that you have given to the processing of your personal data (without affecting the lawfulness of the processing prior to your withdrawal of consent) and to object to our processing of your personal data. You also have the right of data portability in certain circumstances, which means that you can request that we provide you (or a third party you designate) with a transferable copy of personal information that you have provided to us. Your rights may be subject to various limitations under the GDPR. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at dataprivacy@maindatagroup.com with the subject line: “Request for My Personal Information.”
You have the right to file a complaint concerning our processing of your personal data with your national (or in some countries, regional) data protection authority. The EU Commission has a list here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.htm. The data protection authority for the United Kingdom is the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Users of the Main Data Group website are under no statutory or contractual requirement or other obligation to provide personal information to us, but it will not be possible to receive communications from us or register for our events without doing so.
