VI. Disclosure to third parties
Your personal data will be shared with and processed by our affiliates and certain service providers as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, including professional advisors, recruitment firms, consultants and data hosting providers. We make sure anyone who provides a service to, or for us, enters into an agreement with us and meets our standards of data security to ensure that they provide sufficient guarantees to protect your personal data.
There may also be circumstances where Triton is obliged by law to disclose personal data, including to law enforcement agencies and applicable regulators, or when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, request from a regulator, national security, for the purposes of public importance or any other legal or investigatory process involving us. Should we, or any of our affiliated entities, be the subject of a takeover, divestment or acquisition we may disclose your personal data to the prospective or new owner of the relevant business and their advisors on the basis of our legitimate interest.
VII. Location and transfers of personal data
To the extent it is necessary for Triton or its affiliates to effect cross-border transfers of personal data, including to the United States of America and to other countries outside the the EEA, such transfers will only be made in accordance with applicable EU data protection laws. In some cases, personal data may be transferred to jurisdictions outside of the EEA that are not deemed by the European Commission to have data protection frameworks that are equivalent to those of the EU countries, such as the United States of America. [Where such transfers are made to other Triton entities or affiliates, Triton uses data transfer agreements incorporating standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to legitimise the transfer personal data to such jurisdictions.] Transfers to outside of the EEA may also be made to governmental, regulatory or judicial authorities, auditors, legal advisors or agents as well as to sub-contractors engaged by Triton. For further information about the safeguards/ derogations used, please contact Matthew Crill via email at crill@triton-partners.com.
VIII. Security and retention periods
We are committed to protecting the personal data you entrust to us. We adopt robust and appropriate technologies and policies, so the information we have about you is protected to the extent possible from unauthorised access and improper use. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and are subject to appropriate duties of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected or actual personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information and data via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any information or data transmitted to or through our Website.
Triton will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice or other purposes agreed with you, or notified to you, unless a longer retention period is required by law. We will not keep more information than we need for those purposes. For further information about how long we will keep your personal data, please contact Matthew Crill via email at crill@triton-partners.com.
- Individuals whose personal data is processed by Triton have certain legal rights in respect of their personal data where EU data protection laws apply. To exercise these rights and controls, please contact Matthew Crill via email at crill@triton-partners.com. These individual rights include: The right to request a copy of the personal data that we hold about you free of charge, however we may charge a ‘reasonable fee’ if we think that your request is excessive, unfounded or repetitive, to help us cover the costs of locating the information you have requested. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
- The right to require rectification (correction) of errors in personal data if it is inaccurate or needs to be updated.
- The right to have personal data erased in certain circumstances where you think that we shouldn’t be holding or processing your personal data any more. Please note that this may not always be possible due to legal obligations.
- The right to restrict the processing of your personal data (other than storing it) in certain situations including where: (i) you contest the accuracy of the personal data (until the accuracy is verified); (ii) the personal data is being processed unlawfully but you do not want the personal data erased; (iii) the personal data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but you still require that personal data to help establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (iv) you object to the processing where we process your personal data on the basis of our, or a third party’s legitimate interests pending verification of whether our, or a third party’s legitimate interests override your own rights.
- The right to receive personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and (if certain conditions are satisfied), transmit that personal data to a third party, if we have the technical means.
- The right to object to processing, including: (i) for direct marketing (ii) for research or statistical purposes; or (iii) where processing is based on legitimate interests.
In the limited circumstances where the individual may have provided their consent to the collection, processing and transfer of personal data for a specific purpose, the individual has the right to withdraw consent for that specific processing at any time.
To withdraw consent, please contact Matthew Crill via email at crill@triton-partners.com.
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 facilitate our response.
