For EU Data Subjects
The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), effective May 25, 2018, and the privacy laws of other countries provide certain rights to data subjects. Among these rights is the right to know the purpose of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned, who else outside of G3ict might have received the data from us, what the source of the information was (if you did not provide it directly to us); and how long the data will be stored. Additionally, you have the right to access and rectify your data if it is inaccurate. Users may, under certain circumstances, also request that we cease using their data for direct marketing purposes or that we erase their data. Users may also have the right to complain to the relevant data protection authority if they have concerns about how their data is processed.
G3ict has its headquarters in the United States, and the information we collect from you will be processed in the United States or Europe. The United States has neither sought nor received a finding of "adequacy" from the European Union. G3ict collects and transfers data to the United States only with the user's consent.
