Transfer of personal data to third parties

We may disclose your personal data to third parties as described above for the purposes of the competition only. However, personal data may furthermore be disclosed in specific cases, if:

› you have given your explicit consent;
› if there is a statutory obligation of transferring the personal data;
› if the disclosure is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have a predominant legitimate interest in not disclosing your personal data.

Your rights

You have the right:

› to revoke your consent to us at any time, which means that we may no longer continue data processing based on that consent in the future (albeit you should note we may rely on an alternative base such as our legitimate business interest);
› to demand information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you can demand information about the purposes of the processing, the categories of the personal data, the categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of or objection to processing, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data in so far as not collected by us, and about the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and where appropriate meaningful information about the details thereof;
› to demand the rectification of inaccurate or completion of incomplete personal data stored by us without undue delay;
› to demand the erasure of your personal data stored by us, in so far as the processing is not required for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or in accordance with our legitimate business interests (explicitly such as this Competition);
› to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data, in so far as you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you oppose their erasure and we no longer need the data but you do for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or you have objected to processing;
› to receive your personal data which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to demand they be transmitted to another controller; and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority for your habitual residence, place of work or our registered offices.

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you.

If you file an objection, we shall cease processing your personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds (such as our legitimate business interests in connection with this Competition) for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If you want to exercise your data subject rights, simply send an email to the Data Privacy Officer of Dezeen at at [email protected] who will respond to you without undue delay.

Data security

You can recognise a secure TLS connection inter alia by the -s appended to the http (i.e. https://..) in the address bar of your browser or the lock symbol in the lower pane of your browser.

We also adopt suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction and against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continually monitored and improved to reflect technological developments.
