Who do we share your personal data with?

We sometimes share your personal data with third parties. The types of third parties with which we share personal data are described below:

Our Affiliates

We may share your personal data with our affiliates, including our parent company Arçelik A.S. in Turkey, who may use your personal data for purposes and in a manner consistent with the information set out in this privacy notice. In particular, Arçelik A.S. will process some of your personal data for analysing and reporting purposes at a global level based on its legitimate interests in developing the our business and complying with local rules and regulations. Arçelik A.S. may disclose your personal data to third parties (such as service providers, agents and public authorities and institutions) where it is necessary for Arçelik A.S. to lawfully carry out its business activities in accordance with the purposes set out above and as required and permitted by applicable law.

Third parties where required by law

We may disclose your personal data to a third party if it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or the decision of a judicial authority, a public authority or a government body or if disclosure is necessary for national security, law enforcement or other issues of important public interest.

Service providers

We may share your personal data with our service providers to perform specific services on our behalf, including marketing, as well as providers that provide us with data hosting, processing, analytics, and other similar services.  

Professional advisors

We may disclose personal data to professional advisors, such as lawyers, auditors and insurers, as necessary in the course of the professional services they provide us with.

International transfers of your personal data

When we share your personal data with our affiliated companies or other companies with whom we contract (as described in ‘Who do we share your personal data with?’), these companies may be located outside of Canada and/or Quebec, or your country of residence, as applicable, in countries with different laws for protecting personal data than the laws in your country of residence. In particular, your personal data may be transferred to our group companies located in Turkey, including Arçelik A.S. As a result, when your personal information is used or stored in a jurisdiction other than where you are residing, it may be subject to the law of this foreign jurisdiction, including any law permitting or requiring disclosure of the information to the government, government agencies, courts and law enforcement in that jurisdiction.

If we transfer your personal data outside of Canada, or your country of residence, as applicable, we will take steps to ensure that your data will receive a comparable level of protection as if it was being processed within Canada or your country of residence, as applicable. For example, we may impose contractual provisions on third parties or our group companies to ensure there are adequate safeguards in place to protect your personal data. Please contact us using the details in ‘How to contact us’ for more information about the specific measures we have taken to ensure we remain accountable for your personal data once transferred outside of Canada and/or Quebec.

Please note that Arçelik A.S. may further transfer your personal data to third parties located in countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection. Such transfers will be carried out in accordance with applicable laws including where applicable, contractual requirements set out in standard contractual clauses.

How long do we keep your personal data?

We will only keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice and in accordance with applicable laws. This may include satisfying any legal, contractual, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Upon determination that the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, the personal data may be disposed in an appropriate manner which would be irretrievable.

How do we keep your personal data secure?

We will take reasonable precautions to protect your personal data against loss, misuse or alteration. Among other measures, we ensure the security of your personal data by means of encryption, password protection and by otherwise restricting access to it.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data as required by law, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to us using unsecured means; any such transmission is at your own risk.

You should also continue to take measures to keep your personal data safe and secure, such as avoiding the use of apparent or predictable user IDs or passwords, changing your passwords with regular intervals, making sure that you have not disclosed your password(s) to anyone else, and that you have not given consent to a third party to have access to your user account and personal data.

What are your rights relating to your personal data?

Under privacy laws applicable in the region in which you reside, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal data, subject to conditions set out in the applicable laws:

·         to request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “subject access request”) and to certain additional information about our processing of your personal data that this privacy notice is designed to address,

·         to withdraw any consent you have given;

·         under certain circumstances and in certain jurisdictions, to demand data portability;

·         to contest certain automated decisions we make about you that have legal or otherwise similarly significant consequences. We do not typically carry out such automated decision-making but, if we do, we will make it clear where such decisions are being made.

We collect, store, and record the collected personal data in digital or electronic format and physical copies. Access to information is limited to authorized officers and personnel for the purpose of your engagement and through your transactions with us.

We may organize or consolidate the above-enumerated personal data to allow us to use the data for the foregoing purposes. We may also retrieve any of your stored data for the same purposes, as well as to update, modify or correct your data upon your request.
