·For pre-transaction review in relation to the transactions described in the preceding list item.
Lux does not sell lists or usage information. We do not accept any advertising on our site and therefore have no information reporting requirements to any third party.
Our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Data described above will depend on the information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it, as described in Section 2. We will collect and use your information where the processing is in our legitimate business interests, such as for direct marketing and sales of Lux’s products and services to prospective Business-to-Business (B2B) customers. Our legal basis for processing information in certain circumstances will also be based on your consent to do so or where we need the information to perform a contract with you or in order to enter into a contract with you. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect information from you.
If we ask you to provide information to comply with a legal requirement or to enter into a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your information).
We retain your information as follows:
We will retain your Personal Data for a period of time consistent with the original purpose of collection, including to pursue our legitimate business interests (as described in Section 3), comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce applicable agreements. Data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.
We secure your data as follows:
We have implemented appropriate organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect Personal Data within our organization, including security controls to prevent unauthorized access to our systems. While we take reasonable steps to secure your Personal Data from loss, misuse, interference and unauthorized access, modification and disclosure, no data transmission over the Internet can be entirely secure, and we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit via our websites or other online or offline channels.
Please note that you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your credentials used to access any account or service with Lux, and you must report suspected unauthorized activity to us. You are responsible for activity conducted with your credentials.
We may transfer your data as follows:
·To other companies or people with whom we have contracted to perform tasks on our behalf. We may share your Personal Data with some of them to enable completion of the contracted tasks. Examples include financial auditing, marketing and customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, marketing and sales services, and technical support. When selecting our suppliers and partners, we take into account their data handling processes.
·Links from a Lux website to other websites or resources on the Internet that are not part of the products, programs, or services run by Lux. Similarly, other websites or resources may contain links to the Lux websites. We do not control these other websites or their privacy practices, and any information you provide to these sites is subject to the Privacy Policies of those sites and not this Privacy Statement.
·Across Lux offices and facilities. Lux is based in the United States and has offices in The Netherlands, Singapore, and Japan. Depending on your country of residence, when you provide information to us, we will transfer that information to our facilities in the United States. The recipients of the information disclosures described previously in this section of the Privacy Statement may be located in the United States or elsewhere in the world. Privacy laws in these countries may not provide protections equivalent to those of your country of residence, and your government may or may not deem such protections adequate. We will always ensure that there is a legal basis and a relevant safeguard method for such data transfer so that your Personal Data is treated in a manner that is consistent with, and respects the applicable data protection laws and regulations. We have put in place the Privacy Shield EU standard contractual clauses as our safeguard method. · If you require further information, you can request it from Privacy.Officer@luxresearchinc.com.
