Failure to Provide Personal Data

Where we need to collect personal data by law or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

Agents and subcontractors.
Third parties as permitted or required by law.
As part of a business transaction.

International Data Transfers

Brigade is owned and operated within the United States. Therefore, the data that we collect from you will be transferred to, and stored at, a destination within the Continental United States of America.

Privacy Shield Certification

Brigade participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. Brigade is committed to subjecting all personal data received from European Union (EU) member countries, in reliance on the Privacy Shield Framework, to the Framework’s applicable Principles. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield List.

Brigade is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives, under the Privacy Shield Framework, and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. Brigade complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, including the onward transfer liability provisions.

With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Framework, Brigade is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, Brigade may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

In addition, Brigade has agreed to cooperate with the European Data Protection Authorities for the purpose of handling any unresolved complaints regarding personal data concerns. Data subjects may engage their local data protection and/or labor authority concerning adherence to the Privacy Shield Principles, and Brigade shall respond directly to such authorities with regard to investigations and resolution of complaints.

Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Privacy Shield website, you may be entitled to invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.

As a global company, Brigade employs a multifaceted approach to protecting personal data. For example, when transferring personal data between corporate entities, Brigade relies on different legal transfer mechanisms (e.g., standard contractual clauses or Privacy Shield certification) depending on the type of personal data needed and countries involved. Please contact Brigade for any questions you might have or for additional information regarding the protections in place to protect your personal data.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your personal data is secure. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put appropriate technical and organizational measures in place to safeguard and secure your personal data.

If a data breach does occur, we will do everything in our power to limit the damage. In case of a high-risk data breach, and depending on the circumstances, we will inform you about remedial actions to prevent any further damage. We will also inform the relevant supervisory authority or authorities of the breach.

Unfortunately, no security measures are completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee that your personal data will not be disclosed, misused or lost by accident or by the unauthorized acts of others. Further, we cannot control dissemination of personal data you post in the public domain and you should have no expectation of privacy in respect of such data. The procedures and related standards include limiting access to data and regularly testing and auditing our security practices and technologies. Employees and temporary workers are required to follow policies and procedures and complete confidentiality training to understand the requirement of maintaining the confidentiality of customer information. If they fail to do so, they are subject to disciplinary action. All employees are required to complete privacy, security, ethics and compliance training. We also offer a wide variety of other training to all employees and temporary workers to help us achieve our goal of protecting your personal data.

Data Retention

How long we retain your data depends on the type of data and the purpose for which we process your data. Your data will not be retained for a period longer than necessary for the purpose for which we have processed your data, plus any statutory period during which we need to retain the data to resolve any legal claims. Your data will be retained until you request the deletion of your subscriber profile plus any legal statutory period and we will fulfill your deletion request without undue delay and within the time periods required by law. Information retained during the legal statutory period will be minimized to only the data strictly necessary to resolve any legal claims that may arise.

However, it may not always be possible to completely remove or delete all your personal data from our databases without some residual data because of backups and other reasons.

To determine the appropriate retention period for the information we collect from you, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the data, the purposes for which we process the data, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Upon an unsubscribe request your details including delivery preferences and subscriber metadata will be removed from the appropriate account and any associated message distribution lists. You will no longer receive messages, but your email address, opt-in date and opt-out date, message history and bulletin details (reads, opens and clicks) will be retained for the appropriate statutory limitation period (currently 6 years) in order to resolve any legal claims. Your data will not be used for any other purposes.

Data Subject Rights

To exercise any of the following rights, please contact privacy@BrigadeManagement.com. If you need to escalate a matter or feel that your issue is unresolved, please contact our Customer Support.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Right to Request Access

You have the right to request details of your personal data that we hold. Upon request, we will provide a copy of such personal data within a reasonable timeframe.

Right to Rectification

If you believe that any personal data we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please contact us as soon as possible at the address above. We will promptly correct any personal data found to be incorrect, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Right to Object

You may choose to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your data which override your rights and freedoms. Please note that your objection may be overridden by the legitimate interests of Brigade to process and collect your personal data.

Right to Erasure

To the extent legally permissible, you may be entitled to have certain personal data erased in the following circumstances:

The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or processed.
You object to the collection or use of your personal data and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.
The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
The personal data has reached the defined retention period or for compliance with a legal obligation to which Brigade is subject.

Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You may have the right to restrict further processing of your personal data in the following situations:

You contest the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing of the data is unlawful.
The personal data has reached the defined retention period, but you require the personal data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
You object to the processing of data pursuant to the right to object as described above.

The processing may be restricted pending the verification of whether Brigade’s legitimate grounds override your rights as a data subject.

Right to Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Brigade will assist in the transmission of such data to another entity, upon request, to the extent technically feasible. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use, or where we need the information to perform a contract with you.

Right to Revoke Consent

If you have consented to the processing of your personal data via the explicit checkbox during signup or while editing your preferences, you have the right to revoke such consent by deleting your profile. However, if you withdraw your consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

Right to Make a Complaint

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the relevant data protection supervisory authority in the EU member state in which you reside.
