Information about transfer of personal data
Some of the Electric Ray's vendors are in Israel, which has been deemed by the European Union to offer an equivalent level of data protection to the EU. Electric Ray is a Sony Pictures Television (“Sony”) company and your personal data will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where the privacy laws may not provide an equivalent level of protection to the EU. We use Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission to protect your personal data for transfers to the United States. If you would like a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses or have other queries, please contact us.
Your Rights
You have a right to access and correct your data and to ask us to provide some of your personal data in a structured, machine readable format. In addition, you can object to the processing of your data (where we process this for purposes of direct marketing or where we process your personal data because this is in our legitimate interests) and you can ask us to erase or restrict your data. These rights can be limited – for example, if we are required by law to retain your data.
Where you have given Electric Ray your consent to process your personal data, you may withdraw consent at any time. If you ask to withdraw your consent to Electric Ray processing your personal data, this will not affect any processing which has already taken place at that time
If you have unresolved concerns about how your personal data has been handled, you have the right to complain to a data protection authority, in the country where you live, work, or where you consider that your data protection rights have been breached.
