  • If you have integrated or used any other applications or softwares with Aspecta, we will share data with those systems when you initiate the sharing via a button in the Aspecta.id user interface; and
  • With your consent or at your direction.

If you are a user from the EEA or the UK, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person. If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information). Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are. If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contacting Us” heading below.

Security​

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. Specific measure we use, include designing and testing our software to be secure, encrypting all data in transit and at rest, regularly having a third party test our system for security vulnerabilities, and more.

International Data Transfers​

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed, in countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country. Specifically, our data centers are located in the U.S.. If you live outside the U.S., then by using our services, interacting with our website, or otherwise providing your personal data to us, your personal data will be transferred to and processed in the U.S.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice. nHorizon Corp. is self-certified to and complies with the EU-U.S and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce and European Commission. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view nHorizon’s certification, please visit the Privacy Shield website.

For EEA, UK, and Swiss residents, you may complain to us about Privacy Shield related issues. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your complaint to your satisfaction, we have chosen JAMS Privacy Shield Program to serve as an independent recourse mechanism for dispute resolution arising from collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland to the United States. The services of JAMS Privacy Shield Program are provided at no cost to you. Further, as explained in the Privacy Shield Principles, a binding arbitration option will also be made available to you in order to address residual complaints not resolved by any other means. In cases of onward transfer to third parties of data of EEA, UK, and Swiss individuals received pursuant to the Privacy Shield, Aspecta.id is potentially liable.

Given the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union dated 16 July 2020 which invalidated the adequacy of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss Data Protection Authority’s invalidation of the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework, we are increasingly relying on the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses as a transfer compliance mechanism. We also continue to process relevant personal information in line with our obligations under the Privacy Shield.

Data Retention​

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Your Choices​

If you have an account with us, you may update your account information by logging into your online account.
