The following is an overview of our purposes for collecting, using, and holding your personal data.

  • Affiliates.  Nuix will share personal data with our affiliated companies for the purposes described above.

  • To Protect Us and Others.   We will share your personal data if we believe it is reasonably necessary to prevent harm or loss, or if we believe that the disclosure will further an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activities to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
  • In response to Legal Process.  We also may disclose the information we collect from you in order to comply with the law, a judicial proceeding, a court order, or other legal processes, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena.

If you are an EU resident and your personal data is transferred outside the EU to other Nuix affiliates or to service providers, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives the same level of protection as if it remained within the EU, including participation in the EU-U.S. Data Protection Framework Program,  the UK extension to the Data Protection Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Protection Framework and by entering into data transfer agreements using the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses. The list of all the countries to which your personal data is transferred is set forth here: United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and the Philippines.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient complies with the Australian Privacy Principles or is bound by a substantially similar privacy scheme before disclosing your personal data to a country outside Australia.

Nuix reserves the right to share any information that you provide that is not deemed personal data and is not otherwise subject to contractual or confidentiality restrictions.

 

5. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING MECHANISMS.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

16. ADDITIONAL GDPR INFORMATION

Controller

For individuals located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, Nuix Limited is the data controller, as that term is defined under the GDPR. 

The following information describes how we collect and use data that is subject to GDPR, in addition to the information in the remainder of this privacy notice.

Your Rights.

Under GDPR, you may have the following rights, subject to conditions set forth in applicable law:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request the erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons that will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) to justify our processing, 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. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data (“data portability”) to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
  • You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority of your habitual residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable law. 

 

HOW TO CONTACT US
