    Summary: we take data security very seriously, invest in security systems, and train our staff. In the event of a breach, we will notify the right people as required by law.

    We take great care in implementing, enforcing and maintaining the security of the Personal Data we process. Armadillex implements, enforces and maintains security measures, technologies and policies to prevent the unauthorized or accidental access to or destruction, loss, modification, use or disclosure of Personal Data. We likewise take steps to monitor compliance of such policies on an ongoing basis. Where we deem it necessary in light of the nature of the data in question and the risks to data subjects, we encrypt data in transit and at rest.

Other security safeguards include, but are not limited to, multi-factor authentication, anti-virus, audit logs, strict access controls, breach detection systems and physical access controls to our systems.

    Note however, that no data security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, leaks, viruses and other data security breaches will never occur.

    Within Armadillex, we endeavor to limit access to Personal Data to those of our personnel who: (i) require access in order for Armadillex to provide its Services and fulfill its obligations, including also under its agreements, and as described in this Privacy Policy, and (ii) have been appropriately and periodically trained with respect to the requirements applicable to the processing, care and handling of the Personal Data, and (iii) are under confidentiality obligations as may be required under applicable law.

  9. 9. DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

    Summary: depending on the law that applies to your Personal Data, you may have various data subject rights, such as rights to access, erase, and correct Personal Data, and information rights. We will respect any lawful request to exercise those rights.

    Data subjects in the EU or UK, or other individuals with respect to whom other data protection laws apply, have rights under GDPR and applicable laws, including, in different circumstances, rights to data portability, rights to access data, rectify data, object to processing, and erase data.

    A data subject who wishes to modify, delete or retrieve their Personal Data, or to otherwise exercise their data subject rights, may do so by contacting Armadillex ([email protected]).

    Note that Armadillex may have to undertake a process to identify a data subject exercising their rights. Armadillex may keep details of such rights exercised for its own compliance and audit requirements. Please note that Personal Data may be either deleted or retained in an aggregated manner without being linked to any identifiers or Personal Data, depending on technical commercial capability. Such information may continue to be used by Armadillex.

    It is clarified that where Personal Data is provided by a client being the data subject's employer or otherwise their data controller, such data subject rights will have to be effected through that controller. In addition, data subject rights cannot be exercised in a manner inconsistent with the rights of Armadillex employees and staff, with Armadillex proprietary rights, and third-party rights. As such, job references, reviews, internal notes and assessments, documents and notes including proprietary information or forms of intellectual property, cannot be accessed or erased or rectified by data subjects. In addition, these rights may not be exercisable where they relate to data that is not in a structured form, for example emails, or where other exemptions apply. If processing occurs based on consent, data subjects have a right to withdraw their consent.

    Data subjects in the EU, UK and other locations have the right to lodge a complaint, with a data protection supervisory authority in the place of their habitual residence. If the supervisory authority fails to deal with a complaint, you may have the right to an effective judicial remedy.
