2. Data Collection
Personal data or information means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where identity is removed (anonymous data).
We may collect, use, store, and transfer a variety of personal data, including:
Identity Data, including first name, last name, username, or similar identifier, title, date of birth and gender.

See below for detailed information on how we collect personal data.
We also collect, use, and share Aggregated Data, such as statistical or demographic data, for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data, but is not considered personal data by law as this data does not reveal your identity, either directly or indirectly. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine aggregated data with personal data that directly or indirectly identifies you, we treat the combined data as personal data and subject to the terms of this privacy notice.
Failure to Provide Personal Data
Where collection of personal data is required by law or under the terms of a contract with you or your employer on your behalf, failure on your part to provide the requested data may impede the performance of the contract. You will be notified if cancellation of the contracted service is necessary in this situation.

- Direct interaction, including personal Identity and Contact Data entered to complete a form, make a comment, or in correspondence via post, phone, email, or otherwise.

Collected information is used to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, and allows us to deliver content tailored to your interests.
4. Using Your Personal Data
Use of your personal data is limited by law. Most commonly, personal data is used:
- To allow us to fulfil a contract entered into with you or your employer.
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), if your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
- To comply with legal or regulatory obligations. Click https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-protection-eu_en to learn more.

Your preferred browser can be set to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If cookies are disabled or refused, some parts of the website may be inaccessible or fail to function properly.
Change of Purpose
Personal data is collected and used for a specific purpose, unless we determine its use for another reason is compatible. Please contact us at privacy@danieljdonovan.com to receive an explanation of how processing for another purpose meets that criteria.
If your personal data must be used for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis that allows its use.

5. Disclosure of Personal Data
We may be required to share personal data with the parties listed below for the purposes identified in the table provided in ‘4. Using Your Personal Data’ above.
6. International Transfers
We share your personal data within danieljdonovan.com, requiring the transfer of your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Whenever your personal data is transferred outside of the European Economic Area, we ensure a similar degree of protection is implemented using at least one of the following safeguards:
Transfer is only allowed to countries sanctioned by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
Where certain service providers are used, specific contracts provided by the European Commission may be used to ensure personal data will have the same protection as in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model Contracts for the transfer of personal data to third parties.
Data may be transferred to third-party providers in the U.S. who are members of the Privacy Shield, requiring them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the U.S. For additional information, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.
Please contact us at privacy@danieljdonovan.com if you require additional information about our process for transferring your personal data outside of the EEA.
7. Data Security
Appropriate security measures are in place to prevent personal data from accidental loss, misuse, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure. Additionally, access to personal data is limited to those employees, agents, contractors, and third parties who are authorized to process the data on our behalf, under specific instruction, and subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Procedures are in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach. You and, if legally required, any applicable regulator will be notified of a breach.
8. Data Retention
Your personal data will be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Law requires that we keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, and Transaction Data) for six years following the last use of the website and/or services for liability and tax purposes.
In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data. See Request Erasure below for further information.
We may anonymize personal data (to remove any association with personal identity) for research or statistical purposes, in which case the information may be used for an indefinite period without further notice to you.
9. Your Legal Rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights relating to your personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Fees
You are not required to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Request for Specific Information
We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This security measure ensures that personal data is not disclosed to an unauthorized person. We may also contact you to ask you for additional information to speed up our response.
Response Time
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it may take us longer if your request is particularly complex. In this case, we will notify you and keep you informed.
