We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in Section 5.A above:
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Any personal data that you submit on our website will be received directly by us in the United States. Our website is hosted in the United States and your personal data will not be transferred to any other country (whether in or out of the EU) before it is received by us in the United States.
If you are based in the EU (or in the UK following a departure of the UK from the EU) we will comply with the requirements of applicable privacy laws in respect of any transfer of your personal data outside of the EU/UK, and any subsequent transfers.
Please contact us if you want any information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. 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.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect of our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
In general, the various types of information automatically collected on visiting our website via cookies, clear gifs and the like (see Section 5.A above) will be retained based on the standard expiration times listed in our Cookie Policy, except for email addresses, which will be retained until we receive a request to be removed from our mailing list or another indication that a user no longer wishes to receive updates about the activities of the Parker Institute.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Section 10 – Your Legal Rights below for further information.
In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Under certain circumstances, you may have the following rights under data privacy laws that apply to you in relation to your personal data:
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, or want to find out further information in relation to any of them, please contact the DPO at the email address listed in Section 2.B above.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights stated above). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could 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 could 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.
