These offices or companies will be the data controller for your data when you obtain our services and/or they may provide administration, controls, and reporting services. All DEAL DONE 21 companies respect and protect the security of your personal data in accordance with the applicable law (including the GDPR) and apply the security measures and safeguards.

We may need to share personal data with government agencies and authorities in the country where you seek to obtain residence or citizenship. We shall only provide the necessary information in order to perform services under our contract with you.

We may be required to share your data with local agents or other service suppliers (in their capacity as data processors), which is necessary for us to provide the services you request.

These third parties will process your data in their own right as data controllers and their data protection policies and processes shall become applicable.

We may also disclose or share your data if we are under a duty to do so in order to comply with any legal obligation, judgment, or under an order from a court, tribunal, or authority.

9. Third party access to your personal data

We work closely with third parties to provide you with the services you request on Our Website. These third parties include cloud storage providers, analytics providers, and search engine information providers.

10. Data security

We will ensure that appropriate security measures are taken against unlawful or unauthorized processing of personal data, and against the accidental loss of or damage to personal data. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other professional third parties who strictly need to know this information. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. All Our employees and agents have received appropriate training on data protection.

The transfer of information between Our Website and your device is protected with transport layer security (TLS) certificates. When the Website is accessed using compatible browsers, that technology protects personal information using both server authentication and data encryption to ensure that personal information is safe and secure while in transit. 

All personal data is stored in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced technology to protect against interference or unauthorized access. Use Ames and passwords are issued to persons authorized to access the personal data, such as our employees, who are bound by confidentiality not to disclose any personal data.

No method of transmission of data is 100% secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

11. Data retention

We shall only store your data as long as is strictly necessary for the purposes for which it was collected (that is, to provide you with our services or to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements). 

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which We collected it (the provision of the Services and the ongoing performance of Our professional relationship with you) and, thereafter, for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, tax, anti-money laundering and regulatory reporting requirements or obligations to which We may be subject and/or to the extent that We may also need to retain your personal data to be able to assert, exercise or defend possible future legal claims against or otherwise involving you.

By and large, our retention of your personal data shall not exceed the period of six (6) years from the termination of your engagement with DEAL DONE 21. This retention period enables us to make use of your personal data for potential AML reporting obligations to the FIAU (a legal obligation) and/or for the assertion, filing or defense of possible legal claims by or against you. 

12. Data minimization

Whenever and to the extent possible, we anonymize the data that we hold about you when it is no longer necessary to identify you from that data.

13. Your rights as a data subject

You are entitled to exercise the following rights under the GDPR:

14. The right to access information
    you have the right to request information as to whether or not your personal data is being processed by DEAL DONE 21. You shall receive one electronic copy of the information free of charge via e-mail. We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive, in which case We may also refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
15. The right to object
    You may contact Us at any time to ask Us not to process your personal data, if Our legal grounds for processing is that it is necessary for a legitimate interest pursued by Us or a third party or for marketing purposes (for example, receiving information from Us about upcoming events, newsletters, and publications). In the case of your written objection, your data will no longer be processed for such purposes.
16. The right to correction
    you have the right to obtain correction of any inaccurate personal data about you that we have processed, update any data that is out-of-date, and complete any incomplete personal data including by means of a supplementary statement.
17. The right to erasure
    you have the right to obtain the erasure of personal data we have concerning you when it is no longer required, for cases where:

• You withdraw your consent to Us processing your personal data on which the processing is originally based or where no other legal grounds for processing exists,
• Your personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected,
• You object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing for marketing communication,
• Your personal data has been unlawfully processed,
• Your personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. These may include instances where the retention of your personal data is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which we are subject; or establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

5. The right to restriction of processing
   you have the right to restrict our processing activities where:

• You contest the accuracy of this personal data, for a period enabling DEAL DONE 21 to verify the accuracy of the same personal data,
• Our processing is deemed unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of your personal data and request restriction of its use instead,
• We no longer need your personal data for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, but you require it for the establishment, exercising, or defending of legal claims,
• You have objected to our processing pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of our processing activities overrode those pertaining to you.

6. The right to data portability
   we will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. 
7. Right to withdraw consent
   Where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing, and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose (for example, for marketing), you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time, or you may withdraw your consent to this Privacy Policy. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing we carried out on the basis of such consent before its withdrawal. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for that purpose unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law. Withdrawal of consent to this Privacy Policy will result in us having to terminate our services with you immediately.

15. Law applicable to disputes

The Privacy Policy and its subject matter is gove ed law. You hereby agree that the courts of Malta shall have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any claim, dispute or difference concerning the Engagement Letter and any matter arising from it.  Each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to object to an action being brought in those courts, to claim that the action has been brought in an inconvenient forum, or to claim that those courts do not have jurisdiction.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

Any changes we make to this Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this page, and where appropriate, notified to you via e-mail.
