Legal bases for processing (for EEA users):

If you are an individual in the European Economic Area (EEA), we collect and process information about you only where we have a legal basis for doing so under applicable EU laws. The legal bases depend on the information you use and how you use them. This means we collect and use your information only where:

  • It satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote the Services and to protect our legal rights and interests.
  • You give us consent to do so for a specific purpose.
  • We need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.

If you have consented to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place.

5. How we handle Your Customer Data

You may electronically submit data or information to the website for processing purposes (“Customer Data”). Conroy Group will not review, share, distribute, or reference any such Customer Data except as provided for the internal proves of data, or as may be required by law.

6. How we store and secure information we collect

Data Security

Conroy Group maintains strict administrative, technical, and physical procedures to protect information stored in our servers. We use industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology. Other security safeguards include but are not limited to data encryption, firewalls, and physical access controls to building and files.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information and data we store in your file. Access to your name and email address is restricted to the employees of the Conroy Group. Data stored in your account is only accessed by the team when performing the migration, or support services.

All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential.

While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.

Data Retention

We only retain the Personal Data collected from a User for as long as the User’s account is active or otherwise for a limited period of time as long as we need it to fulfil the purposes for which we have initially collected it unless otherwise required by law. We will retain and use information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements as follows:

  • the contents of closed accounts are deleted within 3 months of the date of closure
  • backups are kept for a month.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Conroy Group acknowledges that you have the right to access your personal information. If personal information relating to you as an individual has been submitted to us and you wish to exercise any rights you may have to access, correct, amend, or delete such data, please inquire with us directly.

Review, Update, and Erasure of your Information

You may access information that you have voluntarily provided to Conroy Group through our website, and to review, correct, or delete it by contacting our office in writing as set forth in the section entitled “Contact Us” below. We may require additional information from you to allow us to confirm your identity. Please note we will retain and use your data, including server/backup copies, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, and we may decline to process change or deletion requests that require disproportionate technical effort or jeopardize the privacy of others. Data subjects in Europe have additional rights as set forth in the section entitled and “Your European Privacy Rights” below.

Individuals in European Economic Area

If you are a data subject in Europe, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we have collected about you through the Service. You also have the right to data portability and the right to restrict or object to our processing of personal data we have collected about you through the Service. In addition, you have the right to ask us not to process your personal data (or provide it to third parties to process) for marketing purposes or purposes materially different than for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. You may withdraw your consent at any time for any data processing we do based on consent you have provided to us.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us as set forth in the section entitled “Contact Us” below and specify which right you intend to exercise. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may require additional information from you to allow us to confirm your identity. Please note that we store information as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and may continue to retain and use the information even after a data subject request for purposes of our legitimate interests, including as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.

Blogs, Social Media, and Public Forums

We may offer blogs, social media profiles, message boards, bulletin boards or similar public forums where you and other users of our website can post content or otherwise communicate. If you post information on a public forum, we will assume you intend to make that information public. Any information you share in a public forum is public information and may be seen or collected by other persons, including third parties that do not adhere to the standards set forth in this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for events arising from the distribution of any information you choose to publicly post or share through our online services.

Third Party Analytics

We employ the services of third-party software to collect, aggregate, and analyse data about our website content, users, and their use of it. The software we use includes Google Analytics, and Google Ads. The information these applications collect is not personally identifiable and is used to improve website functionality and content. To this end, these third parties may employ the use of cookies and/or pixel tags to facilitate tracking website users. These third-party cookies are not tied to your Personal Information. Conroy Group does not have access to these cookies nor are we responsible for them.

Clear Gifs and Log Files

We and our third-party partners use technologies such as web beacons in analysing trends, administering the website, tracking users’ movements around the site, and gathering demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual and aggregated basis.

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data. We link this automatically-collected data to other information we collect about you.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking by advertisers and other third parties. We do not use technology that recognizes DNT signals from your web browser.
