9. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Summary: In the course of doing business, we may collect, transmit, and store your personal information in the United States of America and transfer to our affiliates in other countries in which we operate, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

From time to time, we may need to share your personal information with our entities, affiliates, vendors or partners who may be located outside of the country or region your personal information was originally collected. We may allow our service providers, who may be located outside the country you are located, to access your personal information in order to perform a service on our behalf.

We will always take steps to ensure that any international transfer of personal information is carefully managed to protect your rights and interests:
- For individuals within the European Union, we will only transfer your personal information to countries, which are recognized as providing an adequate level of legal protection or where we can be satisfied that alternative arrangements are in place to protect your privacy rights.

This transfer mechanism has specific contractual protections designed to ensure that your personal information receives an adequate and consistent level of protection.
- Transfers to service providers and other third parties will always be protected by contractual commitments and where appropriate further assurances.

Because of the nature of Internet communication, we cannot guarantee against the loss or misuse of personal data transmitted. If, despite all our efforts, a data breach occur, we will take all appropriate and expedient steps to limit the damage.
In case of a data breach, which is likely to result in a high risk, and depending on the circumstances, we will inform you about remedial actions to prevent any further damage. We will also inform the relevant supervisory authority or authorities without undue delay.
11. YOUR RIGHTS
Summary: In some regions, such as the European Economic Area, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. For other users, the rights that apply to you will depend on the laws of your country of residence. We will assist you in exercise the rights that apply to you in accordance with applicable law.
Depending on the country or region you are located, you may have certain rights as an individual, which you may exercise in relation to the personal data we hold about you. If you make a request to exercise any of your rights, we reserve the right to ask you for a proof of your identity. We do this to protect your rights and privacy.
In general, you have the following rights:
The right to access
You have a right to receive confirmation whether we are processing your data, a copy of your data, where applicable, and information about purposes of processing. You may have a right to know whom we disclose your data to, whether we transfer your data internationally, how we protect it, how long we keep it, the rights you have, where we got your data from and how you can make a complaint.
The right to rectification
If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete you can request for it to be corrected.
The right to erasure
If you withdraw your consent (where consent was the legal basis we used to process your personal information), terminate a contract with us or you believe the personal information is no longer necessary for the purposes they were collected, you may request your data to be deleted. We will strive to honor your request but there are times we will need to balance your request against other factors such as certain regulatory obligations, which may prevent us from deleting the data.
The right to restrict processing
You can ask us to restrict your personal data in certain situations. This means that we may still keep your personal information, but that we will no longer be able to use it. You can ask us to restrict your personal data where:
- The accuracy of the data is contested; this will allow us to verify its accuracy;
- The processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased;
- The data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected; we need the data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
- You have exercised the right to object to processing, and we are in the process of verifying if there are justifiable reasons to comply or not to comply with the request.
It is important to point out that we may continue to use your personal information following a request for restriction, where we have a valid legal basis such as your consent or where we need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or where we need to protect the rights of another individual.
The right to data portability
If we relied on your consent to collect your personal data or if we relied on a contractual agreement to process your personal data, you can request from us to transfer your personal data, where feasible, to you or another third party of your choice.
The right to object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information where the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, especially where your interest or fundamental rights and freedoms override our interest. You have a right to object where we process your personal information for direct marketing purposes or share it with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
The right to not be subjected to automated-decision making
You have a right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, which can affect your legal rights, such as profiling. We do not carry out automated decision-making on our Site.
The right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time if we relied on your consent to process your personal information. You may write to us at PrivacyOffice@DRiV.Com to communicate your withdrawal of consent. Even though we will do our best to honor your right, there are instances where we may have to balance your request against the rights and freedoms of others who may be adversely affected to determine if we can comply with your request.
The right to complain
If you are resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information or if you are not satisfied with our responses to you, you have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here:
http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm
