Rights for California Users

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits individuals with whom we have a business relationship who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not currently disclose personal information to third parties that triggers this disclosure requirement.

Notice to Nevada Residents

Nevada provides its residents with a limited right to opt out of certain sales of personal information. We do not currently sell data that triggers this opt-out requirement.

Notice to California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia Residents

We are currently not subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act), Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Personal Data Privacy Act, Florida Digital Bill of Rights, Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act, Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Utah Consumer Privacy Act, or the Virgina Consumer Data Protection Act. If we become subject to any of these laws in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

Notice to European and United Kingdom Residents

This section applies to individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK) solely to the extent that we have collected your Personal Data in a manner that is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, including as it applies in the UK (the “GDPR”).  For the purposes of the GDPR, Courizon Partners, LLC is the “controller” and is responsible for deciding how Personal Data is used, collected, and processed, unless expressly specified otherwise.  

Legal Bases for Processing.

We will only process your Personal Data, including sharing it with third parties, where we have a lawful basis to do so.  The lawful basis we are relying upon may be that:

  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party. For example, we may process your name, contact information, and financial details to onboard you as a customer and to manage our relationship with you.
  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate commercial interests, except where such interests are overridden by your rights and freedoms. For example, we may process Personal Data relating to your use of the Service in order to improve our Service.
  • Processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject. For example, to respond to a binding request for information.
  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest. For example, to identify and prevent anti-money laundering or terrorist financing.
  • You have provided your consent. Where we process your Personal Data on the basis of your consent, this can be withdrawn at any time.

The provision of your Personal Data is not a statutory or contractual requirement but if you do not provide information that we require, we may not be able to provide you with our Service.  We do not process your personal data via solely automated means in a manner that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.  

Your Rights in Relation to Your Personal Data.

Under the GDPR, in certain circumstances, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to any Personal Data we hold about you as well as related information, including the purposes for processing the Personal Data, the recipients or categories of recipients with whom the Personal Data has been shared, where possible, the period for which the Personal Data will be stored, and the source of the Personal Data;
  • Obtain without undue delay the rectification of any inaccurate Personal Data we hold about you;
  • Request that Personal Data held about you is deleted;
  • Prevent or restrict processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances; and
  • Request transfer of Personal Data directly to a third party where this is technically feasible.

You can exercise any of these rights by contacting us using the details under “Privacy Inquiries” below.  We aim to respond to requests made by you within one (1) month but may extend that period by two (2) further months where necessary.  Note that these rights are not absolute and exceptions and limitations may apply.

Where you believe that we have not complied with its obligation under this Privacy Policy or UK or EEA law, you have the right to make a complaint to a UK or an EU Data Protection Authority, such as the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Notwithstanding the “International Users” section below, where we transfer personal data that is subject to the GDPR or UK GDPR to a third country that has not been deemed to provide an “adequate” level of protection, we ensure such transfer is subject to an appropriate safeguard such as standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission or UK Secretary of State.

International Users  

We are headquartered in the United States. Your Personal Data may be accessed by us or transferred to us in the United States. Information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers.  We will protect the privacy and security of Personal Data according to this privacy statement, regardless of where it is processed or stored; however, you explicitly acknowledge the fact that Personal Data stored or processed in the United States will be subject to applicable state and federal laws of the United States, including the ability of governments, courts of law, or enforcement or regulatory agencies of the United States to obtain disclosure of your Personal Data.

Security

We maintain reasonable industry security measures designed to safeguard Personal Data against loss, theft, interference, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your Personal Data. We also maintain procedures designed to help secure online sessions and to protect Courizon accounts and systems. This approach helps ensure that information remains safe and private, however, you should understand that no data storage system or transmission of data over the internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, accurate, complete, or current.

Storage and Retention

Courizon will retain your Personal Data for as long as needed to provide you with the Service. If you wish to request that we no longer use your Personal Data to provide you with the Service, you may contact us at info@courizonpartners.com. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
