8.1 We aim to always process your personal data in the EU/EEA. In some circumstances we may need to transfer your personal data to a country outside of the EU/EEA (“Third Country”). In case your personal data is transferred to a Third Country, we will ensure that your personal data will continue to be subject to an essentially equivalent level of protection as in the EU/EEA.

8.2 We transfer your personal data to recipients in United Kingdom and Switzerland which are subject to EU Commission’s adequacy decision. This means that the EU Commission has assessed that the level of data protection in this country is essentially equivalent to that of the EU/EEA and that it is therefore possible to transfer personal data to such country without additional safeguards. If the recipient of personal data processes personal data in the United States and participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, we rely on the EU Commission’s adequacy decision for such transfers.  

8.3 When we transfer personal data to a Third Country which is not subject to an adequacy decision, or where the recipient is not subject to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, we apply a relevant transfer mechanism, that is applicable safeguard to ensure that an essentially equivalent level of data protection is ensured in the Third Country, specified in the table below.

The contact details are provided in the end of this Privacy Notice (Section 13).

9.1 Our responsibility for your rights

9.1.1 In our capacity of a data controller, we are responsible for ensuring that your personal data is processed in compliance with applicable legislation and that you can effectively exercise your rights as a data subject. You may contact us at any time if you wish to exercise your rights. You will find the contact details in the end of this Privacy Notice.

9.1.2 We have an obligation to respond to your requests to exercise your rights within one month from receiving your request.

9.2 Your right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction

You have the right to request:

a)   Access to your personal data. This means that you have the right to request access to personal data that we hold about you. You also have the right to be provided, at no cost, with information about which personal data we are processing about you. We have the right to charge a reasonable administration fee if you request further copies. If you make a request by electronic means, e.g. via email, we will provide you with the information in commonly used electronic format.

b)  Rectification of your personal data. At your request or on our own initiative, we will correct, anonymise, delete or complete data that we know to be inaccurate, incomplete or misleading. Also, you have the right to complete any incomplete personal data if something relevant is missing.

c)  Erasure of your personal data. You have the right to request that we erase your personal data if there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing the data. Compelling reasons for use to continue processing may be:

 ii.  Processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation,

 iii.  Processing is necessary for reasons of public interests in the area of public health,

 iv. Processing is necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes or

Your personal data will be erased if none of the circumstances above are applicable and if

 i. The personal data is no longer needed for the purpose for which we collected them,

 ii.   We process your personal data based on your consent and you withdraw your consent,

iii.  You object to us processing your personal data which is based on a legitimate interest assessment, and we have no compelling interests that overrides your interests or rights and freedoms,

 iv.  We have processed the personal data unlawfully or

 v.  We have a legal obligation to erase the personal data.

d)  Right to restrict processing: This means that we temporarily restrict the processing of your data.  You have the right to request restriction when:

 i. You consider your data to be inaccurate and you have requested rectification as defined in paragraph 9.2.1 b), while we establish the accuracy of the personal data,

 ii. The processing is unlawful, and you do not want the data to be erased,

 iii.  As the personal data controller, we no longer need to process the personal data for our processing purposes, but you need them to be able to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, or

 iv.  You have objected to processing as defined in paragraph 9.3 while waiting for our assessment of whether our legitimate interests override yours.


9.2.2 We will take all reasonable measures possible to notify everyone who has received personal data as stated in Section 7 above if we have rectified, erased or restricted access to your personal data after you have requested us to do so. At your request, we will provide you with more information about the recipients of your personal data.

9.3  Your right to object to processing

9.3.1 You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if our processing is based upon legitimate interest or performance of a task carried out in the public interest (see Section 3 above). If you object to such processing, we will only continue to process your data if we have compelling reasons for doing so that override your interests or rights and freedoms or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

9.3.2 If you do not wish that we use your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you always have the right to opt out at the end of any such email or to change your consent in the Arlo app or on your account online. We will cease to use your personal data for that purpose once you have declined from receiving marketing material.

9.4 Your right to withdraw consent

If we process your personal data based on your consent as the legal basis, you always have the right to withdraw your consent. You can do this at any time by contacting us. Our contact details are found in the end of this Privacy Notice.

9.5 Your right to data portability

9.5.1 You have right to data portability when we process your personal data by automated means and when the legal basis for the processing is your consent or performance of a contract.

9.5.2 Right to data portability means that you have the right to receive the personal data we process about you in machine-readable format which allows you to transfer these personal data to another data controller. You may also request us to transfer the personal data directly to another data controller.

9.6 Your right to complain to the supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority in your home Member State if you are not satisfied with our processing of your personal data.

10. WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We are committed to ensuring that you always feel comfortable when providing your personal data to us. We have therefore implemented both technical and organisational security measures, including access restrictions and regular internal controls, to best protect your personal data against, for example, unauthorised access, alteration or loss. Should a data breach that materially impacts you or your personal data, e.g. entailing risk of fraud or identity theft, occur, we will contact you to explain what has happened and to provide you with advice on how you can mitigate any potential adverse effects of such data breach relevant for you.
