In some instances, County Land Data and the third parties we engage may automatically collect and aggregate data using cookies, weblogs, web beacons, and other similar applications. This information is used to better understand and improve the usability, performance, and effectiveness of our Platform and to help us tailor content or offers for you. Please read Section 8 (Cookies) below for more information.

4. Your Rights

We strive to make sure that our information is reliable, accurate, and up-to-date.

Below is a brief description of rights that may apply to you:

4.1 Right to Information

You may have the right to access your personal information to review, update, and correct inaccuracies. There are some exemptions, which means you may not always receive all the information we process. Additionally, there may be limits to the amount of information we will provide access to. For example, in some cases, we may limit access to personal information where the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of the requests have been repetitive in character, or where doing so would violate the rights of others.

In some circumstances and subject to certain exceptions, you may have the right to request information about the processing of your information. Information typically requested includes:

• The categories or specific types of personal information we have collected.
• The business purpose for collecting, disclosing, and/or selling the information.
• The sources from which personal information was collected.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
• The criteria used to determine the time that personal information will be held.
• The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling that uses your personal information.

4.3 Right to rectification

You may have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate. This could also include the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.

In some circumstances and subject to certain exceptions, you may have the right to ask us to erase your personal information.

4.4 Right to restrict processing

In certain circumstances, you may have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your information.

Please be aware that in order to accommodate some requests, we must verify your identity before we can respond to a privacy request and this may require you to provide photographic identity information to County Land Data. Because your personal information—for example, your email address—is often required to access or use County Land Data platforms and technologies, we retain personal information as long as your account is active. You may have the opportunity to correct, update, or modify this information by logging into your account and updating your information online.

There may also be instances when County Land Data may disclose your personal information without providing you with a choice in order to:

• Honor a request that you have made through the products or services.
• Comply with the law or in response to a court order, government request, or other legal process.

In all cases County Land Data requires all unaffiliated third parties to treat personal information as confidential. County Land Data will not provide personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.

If you participate in a discussion forum, chat room, or provide comments related to County Land Data on a social media or other public platform, you should be aware that the information you provide there (i.e., your public profile) will be made broadly available to others, and could be used to contact you, send you unsolicited messages, or for purposes neither County Land Data nor you have control over.

9. Cross Border Transfer of Personal Information

As a global organization, we may transfer your personal information to County Land Data affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers, and to third parties in various countries and jurisdictions around the world. By using our websites or products, or providing any personal information to us, where applicable law permits, you acknowledge the transfer, processing, and storage of such information outside of your country of residence where data protection standards may be different.

County Land Data safeguards and enables the global transfer of personal information in a number of ways:

EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses

The Standard Contractual Clauses are one of several mechanisms approved by the European Commission to ensure adequate safeguards for personal information transferred from the EU to countries which the European Commission has not found to offer adequate protection for personal information. In some circumstances, County Land Data will rely upon Standard Contractual Clauses to lawfully transfer personal information.

EU Commission Adequacy Decisions

According to EU Regulation, international transfers may take place when there is an adequate level of protection to the fundamental right of individuals to data protection. The European Commission has determined that several countries ensure an adequate level of protection. In some circumstances, County Land Data will rely upon an adequacy decision to lawfully transfer personal information.

10. Prospective Employee and Employee Information

If you submit an application for employment to or are currently an employee of County Land Data, County Land Data is authorized to collect the information in any form it obtains through your application for employment or continued employment with County Land Data, and your submission of employee related documents, including but not limited to the personal information that you submit in connection with your employment or intended employment (collectively "Employee Information"). To support our global recruitment activities, County Land Data has published a Recruitment Privacy Notice. This notice should be read in conjunction with this section of the County Land Data Privacy Policy and we recommend that prospective candidates review this notice when considering a career at County Land Data.

We also collect some of this information about your dependents when you provide it to us. By providing personal information about family members or other individuals, you represent that you have their consent to provide this information to us for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy.

County Land Data will collect, use, store and retain, and secure your social security number in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Recruitment Privacy Notice.

In accordance with applicable law, County Land Data may use Employee Information to evaluate applications for employment, manage work-related aspects of the employee-employer relationship (e.g., training, payroll, benefits, travel, reimbursement expenses, performance appraisals, succession planning, team member health and safety), investigate and respond to any claims related to your employment, and comply with applicable laws and regulations. Your professional information, such as your name, job title, professional photo, area of expertise, reporting line, and work experience may be shared with clients or potential clients in connection with your job responsibilities.

County Land Data shares your Employee Information with third parties who provide outsourced human resource functions to us and are required to protect your Employee Information. County Land Data may disclose your Employee Information if required or permitted to do so by law (such as when part of a governmental agency action or litigation), governmental or quasi-governmental requests, or a regulatory organization, or to relevant third parties such as site technicians, brokers, auditors, lawyers, or professional advisors. In the event that County Land Data considers it necessary or where required by law to disclose Employee Information in certain situations where the health, safety, or wellbeing of a team member is at imminent risk, we may share your Employee Information with our outside lawyers, law enforcement or others who are legally authorized. As County Land Data continues to develop our business, we may buy or sell assets. In the unlikely event that County Land Data or substantially all of our assets are acquired, Employee Information may be one of the transferred assets.

Employee Information may be stored in hard copy or electronic format within your branch office or in the cloud in the United States or other countries where County Land Data, its affiliates, agents, or contractors conduct business. Your Employee Information may be transferred into our human resources systems and used to manage your employment, may become part of your personnel file, and may be used for other work-related purposes. Your Employee Information will be kept for as long as is legally required, and in some instances longer depending upon the needs of the organization and industry practices.
