Effective Date of Current Policy: March 24, 2023

UK and European Economic Area Privacy Notice

If you are a resident of the United Kingdom (UK) or the European Economic Area (EEA), the following additional UK/EEA-specific provisions apply to our processing of your personal information. Knotel may provide services under its Knotel brand name. For UK/EEA residents, the provisions of this UK/EEA Addendum prevail over any conflicting provision in our Knotel Privacy Notice (Privacy Notice).

Information We Obtain

We may collect, use, store and transfer certain personal information in order to provide services, or to use our websites or our apps, such as your IP address, physical address, phone number, date of birth. For a complete list of the categories of personal data we collect and how we collect this personal data, please see the Information We Collect section in our Privacy Notice. Where such information is required, we may be unable to provide you with our services unless you provide us with this information.

As you interact with our website or app, we will automatically collect technical personal data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies and other similar technologies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our website/app may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see the Cookies section below.

We do not engage in automated decision-making, including profiling.

How We Use the Information We Obtain

The legal bases for which we collect, use, transfer or disclose your personal information include (i) where we have your consent, (ii) where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you, (iii) where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests, and (iv) where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. The purposes for which we process your personal information are systematically included in the How We Use the Information We Gather section in the Privacy Notice. We also may use the information we obtain about you in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.

If we request your consent, we will inform you of the intended purposes for which your information will be processed. Please note that if you choose to withdraw your consent, you may not be able to participate in or benefit from our programs, services and initiatives for which you provided consent.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Disclosures of your Information

To learn more about the categories of third parties to who your personal information is disclosed, see the How We Share Personal Information section in the Privacy Notice. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Data Retention

All personal information is maintained according to our corporate retention schedule. Your personal information will not be stored for longer than necessary for the purposes for which they were collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

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 unauthorised 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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

We will take into account the length of time your personal data is required to:

• Continue to develop, tailor, upgrade, and improve our Services;

• Maintain business records for analysis and/or audit purposes;

• Comply with record retention requirements under the law;

• Defend or bring any existing or potential legal claims; or

• Address any complaints regarding the Services.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see the Your Rights section below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your Rights

You have: (i) the right to access your personal information maintained by us; (ii) the right to correct inaccuracies in that information; (iii) the right to request the transmission of the personal information you have provided to us to you or another company, (iv) the right to object to any uses or disclosures of your personal information, (v) the right to withdraw your consent in relation to our processing of your personal information based on your consent, (vi) the right to request deletion of your personal information and (vii) the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal information.

You may exercise these rights free of charge unless the request is unfounded, excessive, or otherwise unreasonable, for instance because it is repetitive. In some situations, we may refuse to act or may impose limitations on your rights, as permitted by law. Before Knotel is able to provide you with any information or correct any inaccuracies, we may ask you to verify your identity and/or provide other details to help us respond to your request. For the exercise of your rights, please contact us using the contact information provided above in the How to Exercise These Rights or Identity of Controller section. In all cases, you have a right to file a complaint with the relevant Data Protection Authority (DPA) (to find your relevant DPA and their contact details, please see the list at: https://www.iptiq.com/european-data-protection-authorities.html). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach your DPA, so please contact us in the first instance.

We try to respond to all data subject requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

International Data Transfers

We may transfer your personal information to countries outside of the EEA/UK (for example, to other companies within the same group of companies as Knotel or to external third parties based outside of the EEA/UK). Where these transfers are to countries that have not been found by United Kingdom regulators or the European Commission to provide adequate protection, such as the United States, Knotel takes necessary contractual measures to ensure that your personal information receives an adequate level of protection (including, for example, standard contractual clauses). For further information about Knotel’s international data transfer practices, and to consult the said contractual measures, please contact us using the contact details in the Contact Us section above.
