    5. We invite you to read on and learn about the types of personal data we collect, when we collect it, why we do so, what we do with it, how long we keep it, who we may have to share it with and why.

  2. What personal data do we process and when do we collect it?

    1. The personal data that Target Traffic processes depends on its relationship to the Data Subject in question, but shall largely include the following personal data:
      • Name and surname;
      • Residential Address;
      • Place of birth;
      • Date of birth;
      • Nationality;
      • Social security number;
      • Marital status;
      • Bank account details;
      • Copies of Identity Cards and/or Passports;
      • IP Address;
      • Log-in details for access to laptops and work email accounts;

      • Sex;
      • Contact details.
    2. Such personal data is typically collected or supplied voluntarily upon the commencement of our relationship with you as a Data Subject. However, we also collect information from the public domain about individuals who work at companies with whom we are seeking to build a business relationship or employ. In some cases, and where permitted, we use third party services that perform these online searches for us. Furthermore, as part of our recruitment process, we may also collect information from the public domain that individuals post on social or professional networking sites and job boards (e.g., LinkedIn).

  3. Why do we process personal data?

    1. The reason why we process personal data largely depends on our relationship to the Data Subject, but this purpose is limited generally to:
      • complying with our legal obligations as an employer or purchaser of goods and services;
      • complying with or enforcing a contract to which we are a party;
      • complying with law or regulation or direction from any enforcement agency, court of law or regulatory body;
      • promotion of the security and protection of people, premises, systems and assets;
      • monitoring of compliance with contractual agreements, internal policies and procedures;
      • paying salaries or service fees;
      • transfer to third parties (see paragraph 3.3);
      • keeping records of staff absences;
      • providing services to our customers;
      • investigating or responding to incidents and complaints.
    2. Should we need to process the personal data of a Data Subject for any other reason, we will request their consent in writing, which the Data Subject may withdraw at any time, provided that the withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
    3. As mentioned above, we may disclose your personal data to third parties. Target Traffic may do this in the following circumstances.
      • To our suppliers. We may, for example, engage a supplier to carry out administrative and operational work in support of our relationship with you. The supplier(s) will be subject to contractual and other legal obligations to preserve the confidentiality of your data and to respect your privacy, and will only have access to the data they need to perform their functions; the relevant suppliers are typically lawyers, consultants, accountants, auditors, IT suppliers (who host or support our IT systems, including information about you), premises management companies (who look after physical security at our offices, and therefore may need to know about you to allow access to our offices) and back office finance and accounting management providers (who might need to handle details of a Data Subject in order to process accounts payable and receivable).
      • To government, police, regulators or law enforcement agencies. We will share your data with government, police, regulators or law enforcement agencies if, at our sole discretion, we consider that we are legally obliged or authorised to do so or it would be prudent to do so.
      • In the case of a business transaction or restructuring activity. We may need to disclose your data to the prospective seller or buyer and their advisers as part of the due diligence process for a proposed merger, acquisition, restructuring or other business transaction.

  4. What can I do to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data?

    1. Target Traffic takes every reasonable step to ensure that the personal data we have in our possession is accurate and kept up to date. However, it is still possible for certain personal data to be incorrect or incomplete. Should you, therefore, wish to correct or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that Target Traffic holds, you may do so by sending an email to info@target-traffic.net highlighting the data that requires correction or completion, as the case may be, and we will update our records without undue delay and inform you once this has been done.

  5. Can I ask Target Traffic to access and erase my personal data?

    1. Under the GDPR, any Data Subject has the right to access their personal data and, in certain situations, the right to request that a controller erase their personal data without undue delay.
    2. Should you like to access your personal data held by Target Traffic or should you wish that Target Traffic erases your personal data, you are kindly requested to send an email to info@target-traffic.net.
    3. You may also request a copy of your personal data. This will be released either to yourself or to a controller designated by yourself.
    4. Target Traffic will erase your personal data as soon as possible, provided that such personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes (as specified in section 3 of this Policy) for which they were collected or processed.

  6. Can we transfer your personal data outside the EEA?

    1. There may be situations where your personal data can be transferred and processed in one or more non-EEA countries. In any such situations, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives the same level of protection as if it remained within the EEA, including by entering into data transfer agreements, using the European Commission’s approved contractual clauses for data transfers to third countries, or by relying on certification schemes such as the EU - US Privacy Shield or other valid mechanisms for data transfers. You may also request information on the protective measures implemented for any third country transfers of personal data.

  7. How long do we keep your personal data?

    1. Target Traffic seeks to ensure that personal data are kept in a form which permits identification of Data Subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed, however, we typically erase the personal data we have on record within ten (10) years from the end of our relationship.

  8. How will we notify you of changes to this Policy?

    1. Certain terms in this Policy may be amended from time to time, in which case we shall publish any material changes through appropriate notices either on our Website or otherwise contacting you using other communication channels.

  9. How can I complain?

    1. If you are a Data Subject and you feel that your rights under the GDPR have been violated by Target Traffic you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commissioner in Malta using the complaints form included on the Data Protection Commissioner’s Website.
