Legal basis for processing personal information

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

We will normally collect personal information from you:

• where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, such as our contracts with key opinion leaders, personal investors and vendors acting in their personal capacity;
• where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, for example for the purposes of maintaining business
  relationships with our suppliers and professional contacts, responding to queries and for the purposes of improving our business;
• where we have your consent to do so;
• where we have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital
  interests or those of another person, for example in a medical emergency. If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

Our website use cookies and similar tracking technology (collectively, “Cookies”) to collect and use personal information about you. For further information about the types of Cookies we use, why, and how you can control Cookies, please see our Cookie Notice.

How does Ellipses keep my personal information secure?

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information.

International data transfers

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country. Specifically, we use hosting and data storage services located in Germany, and your data will be managed in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

Data retention

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for
example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Your data protection rights

You have the following data protection rights, which you can exercise by contacting us using the contact details above:

• the right to access, correct, update or request deletion of your personal information.
• the right to object to processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing of your personal information or request portability of
  your personal information.
• if we process your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not
  affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information
  conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
• the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please
  contact the Information Commissioner’s Office, www.ico.org.uk.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
