  • You have consented to this collection and processing for a specific purpose;
  • It is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations; or
  • It is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

 

Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw or decline consent at any time. If you wish to withdraw your consent, please contact us using the information in the Contacts for the Individual Rights Requests section.  Some examples of our legitimate interests and the data being processed include:

Individual Rights

risekg makes certain choices available to you when it comes to your personal data.  Please review the below information outlining your choices and how to exercise them. We will respond to all requests within a reasonable timeframe.  If our full response will ever take more than a month due to complexity or scope, we will notify you of this and keep you updated.

Review and update your data: You have the right to access and update any personal data that we have collected.  To review the data that we have and update it as required, please submit a request using the contact information at the end of this section.  We may request more information to confirm your identity before releasing or modifying any personal data.

This is sometimes known as the ‘right to be forgotten’.  To request that we delete all personal data about you, please submit a request using the contact information at the end of this section.  We may request more information to confirm your identity before deleting any personal data.

After you delete your personal data from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not immediately remove data from our backup systems for archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.  We may also decline to honor this request in certain specific situations, such as if the data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to exercise/defend a legal claim.

Restrict Processing: You have the right to restrict how we process your personal data in certain circumstances.  This is an alternative to requesting the deletion of your data. Rather than requesting we delete all your personal data, you may request that we limit our uses of your personal data to specific purposes.  You may wish to request we restrict our processing if you contest the accuracy of your personal data and we are working to verify this information, or if you want us to retain your personal data in connection to a legal claim but cease processing it.

Data Portability: You have the right to obtain copies of your information in a structured, commonly used format that you can move your data between our service and the services of others.  We may request more information to confirm your identity before providing any personal data.

Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or when our processing of your data is based on legitimate interests.  You may request that we stop processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. This is an absolute right and we cannot refuse this request. Beyond direct marketing, if you wish to exercise this right, you must give specific reasons why you object to our processing of your data, based on your particular situation.  Even after receiving such a request, we may continue processing if it is necessary for the exercise/defense of a legal claim or if we can demonstrate a compelling legitimate ground for the processing.

If any request made under this section is clearly unfounded or excessive, we may reject the request or require a reasonable fee to honor the request.  If we decide to reject your request, we will inform you of the reasons for not taking action and provide information on other possible remedies. If we decide that a reasonable fee is necessary, we will promptly inform you and will comply with the request upon receipt of this fee.
