We collect Personal Data of our workers, candidates, suppliers, business contacts, shareholders and Website Users. We make effort to give individuals appropriate notice of what Data will be collected and how it will be used. We will only process that Data if we consider it fair and lawful to do so.

With your consent and if requested, we may share Personal Data with our contracted Service Providers and advisors, and 3rd party services providers. Before doing so, we take steps to ensure that your Personal Data will be given adequate protection as required by relevant Data protection laws and Elevated Business Solutions’ internal policies.

There will be times when we need to share or disclose your Personal Data, for example:

If we are running a joint event and have informed you that the Data will be shared with our partners. We will notify you as to why specific information is used and it is your choice to provide it or not;

We may need to disclose your Personal Data to third parties under the circumstance that we sell or liquidate any part of our business or assets;

We will disclose or share your Personal Data to comply with any legal obligation, or to enforce our Terms of Use; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Elevated Business Solutions, our clients, or others.

We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary. If you have an account with us, we will only keep the Data while your account is active, or for as long as needed to provide Services to you, and as further needed for us to comply with our legal and contractual obligations.

You are entitled to know whether we hold Personal Data about you, and if we do, to have access to that Personal Data and require it to be corrected if inaccurate.

You can Contact Us to exercise any of your rights.

  • Receive their Data and have it transferred to another controller. Users have the right to receive their Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, if technically feasible, to have it transmitted to another controller without any hindrance.

  • Lodge a complaint. Users have the right to bring a claim before their competent Data protection authority.

Details about the right to object to processing

Where Personal Data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in the Owner or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner, Users may object to such processing by providing a ground related to their particular situation to justify the objection.

Users must know that, however, should their Personal Data be processed for direct marketing purposes, they can object to that processing at any time without providing any justification.

How to exercise these rights

Any requests to exercise User rights can be directed to the Owner through the contact details provided in this document. These requests can be exercised free of charge and will be addressed by the Owner as early as possible and always within one month.

Under the regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) of the EU you have certain rights as a Data Subject. These rights are as follows:

The right to be informed: this means we must inform you of how we intend to use your Personal Data and we do this through the terms of this Policy.

The right of access: this means you have the right to request access to the Data we hold about you and we must respond to those requests within one month.

The right to rectification: this means that if you believe some of the Data we hold is incorrect, you have the right to have it corrected. You can do this by logging into your account with us, or by sending us an email with your request.

The right to erasure: this means you can request that the information we hold be deleted, and we will comply unless we have a compelling reason not to, in which case you will be informed of the same.

The right to restrict processing: this means you can change your communication preferences or opt-out of certain communications.

The right of Data portability: this means you can obtain and use the Data we hold for your own purposes without explanation.

The right to object: this means you can file a formal objection with us regarding our use of your information with regard to third parties, or its processing where our legal basis is our legitimate interest in it.

To do this, please send an email to info@elevatedbusinesssolutions.com.
