We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords, or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

Your Rights as a data subject

You can change the data in your account by logging in and updating your profile data. If you change the data in your account, we may retain copies of that data in cached or archived pages to the extent required by law or as permitted by law for legitimate interest specified above. For information about our storage policy see section 10 below.

In some instances, you may be eligible to a) ask us for a copy of your personal data, b) rectify, erase, or restrict processing of your personal data, c) withdraw your consent at all times and/or d) obtain the personal data you provide to us in a structured, machine readable format. Further, you may have the right under applicable law to object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (e.g. if we use your data for our legitimate interests). If you would like to claim any of the above-mentioned rights, please contact service@curranonline.com or you can reach us at any of the contact information provided at the bottom of this page. In addition, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Your rights regarding your personal data may be limited, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person or would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights), or if you ask us to delete data which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping (as set out above). We will inform you of the relevant exemption upon which we rely when responding to any request you make.

Our use of certain personal data is necessary for us to provide information to you about our sales and Services to you through the Websites or otherwise. If you choose not to provide this personal data or request that Curran deletes or restricts the processing of this personal data, you may not be able to participate in our sales and we may not be able to provide you with other Services.

The exercise of the above-mentioned rights is generally free of charge. Where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge an appropriate fee (at most our actual costs) in accordance with the applicable statutory regulations or refuse to process the application. 

Your additional rights with respect to cookies and similar technologies

You are free to disable the use of cookies and similar technologies if this is supported by your device and/or browser. You can manage your cookie settings in your browser or device settings. In addition, you can disable personalized advertisements by visiting this page. 

You may adjust your browser or operating system settings to limit tracking or to decline cookies.

Children under 16

Our Services are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect data from, children under the age of 16. If we discover that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our systems. According to our Terms of Use, children are not permitted to use our Services.

International Transfers

We will only transfer your personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA) to third countries, i.e. countries outside the EEA, on the basis of appropriate safeguards. Third countries providing an adequate level of data protection according to the European Commission currently include Andorra, Argentina, Canada (for companies covered by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), Switzerland, the Faroe Islands, Guernsey, the State of Israel, the Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand and Uruguay. In other cases, Curran provides the necessary safeguards, e.g. through the conclusion of data protection contracts adopted by the European Commission with the recipients, and/or through other or additional measures provided for or required by law.

Storage duration and erasure

Your personal data will be stored by us and our service providers in accordance with applicable data protection laws to the extent necessary for the processing purposes set out in this Statement. Subsequently, we will delete your personal data in accordance with our data retention and deletion policy or take steps to properly render information anonymous, unless we are legally obliged to keep your personal data (e.g. for tax, accounting or auditing purposes). In Europe, the retention periods are generally between 6 and 10 years (e.g. for contracts, notifications and business letters). As far as legally permissible or required, we restrict the processing of your personal data instead of deleting it (e.g. by restricting access to it). This applies in particular to cases where we may still need the data for the execution of the contract or for the assertion of or defense against legal claims. In these cases, the duration of the restriction of processing depends on the respective statutory limitation or retention periods. The data will be deleted after the relevant limitation or retention periods have expired.

How long we retain personal data may vary depending on the Services we provide and our legal obligations under applicable national law. The following factors typically affect the retention period: 

• Necessity for the provision of our Services
  This includes such things as executing the contracts (see our Terms of Sale, etc.) with you, maintaining and improving the performance of our products, keeping our systems secure, and maintaining appropriate business and financial records. Most of our retention periods are determined on the basis of this general rule.

• Special categories or personal data
  If we store special categories of personal data, a shorter retention period is usually appropriate

• Consent-based processing of personal data
  If we process personal data on the basis of consent (including consent to the extended storage), we store the data for as long as necessary to process it for the purposes for which your consent was obtained.

• Statutory, contractual or other similar obligations
  Corresponding storage obligations may arise, for example, from laws or official orders. It may also be necessary to store personal data with regard to pending or future legal disputes. Personal data contained in contracts, notifications and business letters may be subject to statutory storage obligations depending on national law.
