​

own.

​

24. External third parties

Any social media posts or comments you send to us: (on the Facebook page, for instance) will be shared under the terms of the relevant social media platform (e.g. Facebook or Twitter) on which they’re written and could be made public. Other people, not us, control these platforms. We are not responsible for this kind of sharing. Before you make any remarks or observations about anything, you should review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the social media platforms you use. That way, you’ll understand how they will use your information, what information relating to you they will place in the public domain, and how you can stop them from doing so if you’re unhappy about it. It’s worth remembering too that any blog, review, or other posts or comments you make about us and our services on any of our blogs, reviews, or user community services will be shared with all other members of that service and the public at large. You should take extra care to ensure that any comments you make on these services, and on social media, in general, are fit to be read by the public, and are not offensive, insulting, or defamatory. Ultimately, you are responsible for ensuring that any comments you make comply with any relevant policy on the acceptable use of those services.

​

25. International transfers

​

Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

​

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

 

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.

 

Where we use certain service providers, may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.

​

Where we use providers based in the US, we may securely transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.

 

Please contact us if you want further information on how we transfer your personal data out of the EEA.

 

26. Data security

​

A lot of the information we receive reaches us electronically, originating from your devices, and is then transmitted by your relevant telecoms network provider.

 

Where it’s within our control, we put measures in place to ensure this ‘in flight’ data is as secure as it possibly can be.

 

Once it arrives at Psychic Mix, you can be sure we take the security of your information very seriously.

 

We use appropriate procedures and technical security measures (including strict encryption, anonymization, and archiving techniques) to safeguard your information across all our computer systems, networks, websites.

 

We use secure means to communicate with you where appropriate, such as ‘https’ and other security and encryption protocols.

 

27. How long do we keep your information for?

​

To make sure we meet our legal data protection and privacy obligations, we only hold on to your information for as long as we actually need it for the purposes we acquired it for in the first place.

 

In most cases, this means we will keep your information for as long as you continue to subscribe with us and use our services, and for a period of time afterward if you stop doing so just in case you resubscribe with us again.

 

After that, we will either delete it or anonymize it so that it cannot be linked back to you.

 

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Request erasure below for further information.

 

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

 

28. Your rights

34. What we may need from you

​

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

 

35. Time limit to respond

​

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

(c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

(d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

​

Of your personal information to another party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a service for you.

 

Right to withdraw consent at any time: Where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

​

39. Fees for excessive or unreasonable requests

​

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

 

40. What we may need from you

​

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights).
