Blessed Exchange will take reasonable steps to ensure that all Personal Data is relevant, accurate, complete, current, and reliable for its intended use. All Data Subjects have a responsibility to assist Blessed Exchange in this effort.

Transferring your data outside the "EEA"

We may transfer your data outside the European Economic Area (the "EEA").

Some of those countries have a European Commission adequacy decision, which means they are considered to offer an adequate level of data protection. Other countries do not have the same level of legal protection as countries in the EEA, or with an adequacy decision. If we do transfer your data in this way, we will take steps to ensure that it is protected to the same levels that apply in the EEA. This may include, for example, ensuring that the organisation receiving the data is registered with the EU-US Privacy Shield (in the case of transfers to the USA), or that we use the EU's model contractual clauses.

Covered Entities

Blessed Exchange entities and all non- Blessed Exchange entities (e.g., agents, contractors, outsource service providers and processors) accessing or processing Personal Data are required to comply with this Policy with respect to such Personal Data.

Responsibilities

The Data Officer is primarily responsible for adopting, implementing, and maintaining this Policy.

The responsibility for the implementation of the Policy lies with every employee and manager, whether the Personal Data is in the form of manual records, computer data or arises from communication with employees and Data Subjects both online (electronic) or off line (manual records). Implementation requirements will include the development of notice and consent forms to provide to managers and Data Subjects where required by applicable laws. Employees, agents, contractors and their employees are individually responsible for providing/maintaining accurate information and for protecting the personal information that Blessed Exchange has about any individual in support of the implementation of this Policy. Employees who violate this Policy or applicable legal requirements are subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment, dependent on the severity of the violation. Agents or contractors or their employees who violate this Policy or applicable legal requirements are subject to termination and/or other contractual penalties. Employees, agents and contractors should also be aware that if they knowingly or recklessly obtain or divulge Personal Data without Blessed Exchange consent, they may be committing a criminal offence.

A responsible person designated by management will handle investigations regarding non-compliance with this Policy. All investigations will be handled under the legal requirements of the geographic area where the investigation is taking place.

Access to Personal Data

The Data Officer is responsible for maintaining and safeguarding Personal Data, and for ensuring that access to such Personal Data is restricted to persons who have a job-related "need to know" or who have documented access rights. Covered entities may have access to Personal Data on a business related need to know for purposes generally compatible with the collection of the Personal Data.

Data Subjects may review the contents of any files as requested pursuant to the access principles detailed above and subject to other Blessed Exchange policies. All Data Subjects must authenticate themselves based on online or offline standards (i.e., pass codes) set by Blessed Exchange before gaining access. Data Subject may request a copy of documents, but under no circumstances will an individual be allowed to remove any documents from the file or be allowed to remove the original file from Blessed Exchange. Certain confidential files, such as investigative files, will not be accessible to Data Subjects, in particular employees.
