7. Security
Moonbug takes the protection of personal data seriously. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed, including use of secure servers and passwords. In circumstances where we have given you/your child a password that enables you/your child to access certain parts of our Website, you/your child are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you/your child not to share a password with anyone.
In addition, we limit access to your/your child’s personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your/your child’s personal data in accordance with our instructions.
Despite these precautions, and although we will do our best to protect your personal data, Moonbug cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the Internet or that unauthorised persons will not obtain access to personal data. In the event of an actual or suspected data breach, we have put in place procedures to deal with this and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where required to do so.
8. International data transfers
Please note that as your/your child’s personal data is shared within the Moonbug group of companies, this will involve transferring it outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and/or the United Kingdom (UK), including between the EEA and the UK. Some of our external service providers may be also based outside of the EEA and/or the UK. These service providers may work for us or for one of our suppliers and may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your/your child’s request for information and the provision of services.
Where we transfer your/your child’s data to a service provider that is outside of the EEA or the UK (as relevant) we seek to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to make sure that your/your child’s personal data is held securely and that your/your child’s rights as a data subject are upheld. Transfers of personal data are made:
-
to a country recognised by the appropriate body as providing an adequate level of protection; or
-
to a country which does not offer adequate protection but whose transfer has been governed by approved standard contractual clauses or by implementing other appropriate cross-border transfer solutions to provide adequate protection.
9. Your/your child’s rights
As a data subject you/your child have a number of rights in relation to your/your child’s personal data. Below, we have described the various rights that you/your child have, as well as how you/your child can exercise them. These rights can be exercised at any time by contacting us – see the “Contact Details” section below.
Right of Access
You/your child may, at any time, request access to the personal data that we hold which relates to you/your child (you may have heard of this right being described as a "subject access request").
Please note that this right entitles you/your child to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you/your child. It is not a right to request personal data about other people, or a right to request specific documents from us that do not relate to your/your child’s personal data.
Your/your child’s right to rectification and erasure
You/your child may, at any time, request that we correct personal data that we hold about you/your child which you/your child believe is incorrect or inaccurate. You/your child may also ask us to erase personal data if you/your child do not believe that we need to continue retaining it (you may have heard of this right described as the “right to be forgotten”).
Please note that we may ask you/your child to verify any new data that you/your child provide to us and may take our own steps to check that the new data you/your child have supplied us with is right. Further, we are not always obliged to erase personal data when asked to do so; if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing personal data that you/your child ask us to erase we will tell you/your child what that reason is at the time we respond to the request.
Your/your child’s right to restrict processing
Where we process your/your child’s personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest, you/your child are entitled to ask us to stop processing it if you/your child feel that our continuing to do so impacts on your/your child’s fundamental rights and freedoms or if you/your child feel that those legitimate interests are not valid.
You/your child may also ask us to stop processing your/your child’s personal data: (a) if you/your child dispute the accuracy of that personal data and want us verify that data's accuracy; (b) where it has been established that our use of the data is unlawful but you/your child do not want us to erase it; (c) where we no longer need to process your/your child’s personal data (and would otherwise dispose of it) but you/your child wish for us to continue storing it in order to enable you/your child to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Please note that if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing personal data that you/your child ask us to stop processing, we will explain that reason, either at the time we first respond to the request or after we have had the opportunity to consider and investigate it.
Your/your child’s right to portability
Under certain circumstances, where you/your child wish to transfer certain personal data that we hold about you/your child, which is processed by automated means, to a third party, you/your child may write to us and ask us to provide it to you/your child in a commonly used machine-readable format.
Your/your child’s right to object to processing
You/your child may object to processing of your/your child’s personal data where we rely on legitimate interest for processing that personal data. We will comply with your/your child’s request unless we have a compelling overriding legitimate interest for processing or we need to continue processing your/your child’s personal data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
Your/your child’s right to withdraw consent
Where our processing of your/your child’s data is on the basis of consent, you can withdraw this consent at any time. This would not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent prior to the withdrawal. Your/your child’s right to object to automated decision making and profiling.
You/your child have the right to be informed about the existence of any automated decision making and profiling of your/your child’s personal data, and where appropriate, be provided with meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing that affects you/your child.
Right to Opt Out of Sale of Personal Data
A consumer (as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act 2018 (or “CCPA”)) has the right to request disclosure of personal data about him or her sold by Moonbug and opt out of the sale of that consumer’s personal data by Moonbug by contacting us using the contact details set out below.
Shine the Light
California law provides that you have the right to submit a request to us at our designated email address and receive the following information: (i) the categories of information disclosed to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year; and (ii) the names and addresses of third parties that received such information, or if the nature of their business cannot be determined from the name, then examples of the products or services marketed. Please put “Shine the Light Request” in the subject line of your email.
Exercising your/your child’s rights
When you/your child write to us making a request to exercise your/your child’s rights, we may ask for copies of relevant ID documents to help us to verify identity.
It will help us to process your/your child’s request if you/your child clearly state which right you/your child wish to exercise, what personal data it is that is of particular concern to you/your child and, where relevant, why it is that you/your child are exercising it. The clearer and more specific the request, the faster and more efficiently we can deal with that request. If insufficient information is provided then there may be a delay in actioning the request until additional information is provided (and where this is the case we will tell you/your child).
Please note that all the rights mentioned in this section are not absolute and we may be entitled to refuse requests, wholly or partly, where exceptions under the applicable law apply. For example, we may refuse to comply with a request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
