5. LEGAL BASIS FOR USE OF PERSONAL DATA.

Target Global will only use personal data of an individual when legally allowed to do so. Most commonly, Target Global will use personal data of an individual in the following circumstances:

To ensure that we are able to perform our obligations under the contract the we entered or are about to enter (including contract with an individual whose personal data we use or other third party, provided that we obtained consent from such individual);
To ensure that we are able to further our legitimate interests (or legitimate interests of a third party that we have contractual relationship with, provided that we obtained consent from individual whose personal data we use) and the fundamental rights of an individual, whose personal data we use, do not override those interests.
To ensure that we are compliant with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We always consider whether the risk to an individual’s personal data protection rights in connection with personal data that we process on the basis of our legitimate interests is not excessive. We also protect individual’s rights by ensuring proper retention periods and security controls with regard to personal data of such individual.

We use explicit and unambiguous consent of an individual as a legal basis for processing personal data of such individual, in cases of sending direct marketing communications (including those of third parties). Such consent may be withdrawn at any time by contacting us. In other cases, we use appropriate and reasonable legal basis which may not involve obtaining explicit consent of an individual.

6. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD PARTIES. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

Some areas of business we engage into and services that we provide require the involvement of third parties. We have procedures in place to screen and select these third parties based, among other criteria, on their ability to adequately protect personal data that we process.

From time to time we will transfer personal data to third parties (within or outside of Target Global) outside of the EU. If such third parties are within Target Global group, then their actions are covered by this Policy (to the extent permitted by local laws) and individuals shall have comparable level of protection after transfer of their personal data. If such third parties do not belong to Target Global group, we will only transfer personal data if such third party is contractually obliged by us to provide comparable level of protection to individuals after transfer of their personal data. Specifically:

We will only transfer personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in the EU.
