In addition, we obtain personal information from third-party sources, such as our clients, other law firms and service providers.

If you provide information to us about any person other than yourself, such as your employees, suppliers, shareholders or directors, you must ensure that they understand how their information will be used and disclosed, and that they have given their permission for you to disclose it to us and for you to allow us, and our outsourced service providers, to use and disclose it as set forth above.

We process the personal data referred to above for the following purposes:

• To fulfill a contract, or take steps linked to a contract, including:
  • verifying your identity;

You will always be able to withdraw your consent to allowing us to process your personal data, although we may still have other legal grounds for processing your data, such as those set out above. In some cases, we are able to send you marketing materials without your prior consent, where we rely on our legitimate interests, but you have an absolute right to opt-out of receiving future marketing materials at any time. You can do this by following the instructions in the email communication you receive.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

We have the right to share your personal data amongst our affiliated offices.

We have the right to share your personal data with trusted third parties including:

• Legal or other advisers, consultants and other professional experts, complainants, correspondents and enquirers, and suppliers and service providers of any of the above, and each of their associated businesses;
• Business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors in connection with the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you. We take reasonable steps to ensure that our personnel protect your personal data and are aware of their information security obligations; and
• Analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimization of our website.

We may also share your personal data with (or transfer your personal data to) third parties:

• If we sell or buy any businesses or assets or merge any business into or with that of another person, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective counterparty in such transaction and such data may be one of the assets transferred in such transaction;
• To comply with applicable laws, regulations, subpoenas, legal process, governmental investigations or inquiries, to cooperate with law enforcement, to assert or defend legal claims, and to protect our and others rights, property, or safety; and
• For the purposes of crime and fraud prevention and remediation.

We will not otherwise sell any personal data to any other person.

Transfers of Personal Data Outside the EU

In some cases, disclosure of personal data to other persons will involve transferring personal data from a country in the EU to a country which has been held not to provide a level of protection to personal data equivalent to that provided in the EU. In particular, personal data from the EU may be transferred to, and processed in, our offices in the United States.

Your Rights

You have various rights with respect to our use, processing and sharing of your personal data:

• Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data that we hold about you.  Please note that there are exceptions to this right, so that access may be denied if, for example, making the information available to you would reveal personal data about another person, or if we are legally prevented from disclosing such information. You are entitled to see the personal data held about you. 
• Accuracy: We aim to keep your personal data accurate, current, and complete. Please let us know if any of your personal data is not accurate or changes.
• Objecting/Deletion:  You also have the right to object to processing of your personal data and to ask us to block, delete or restrict your personal data subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive your request and verify your identity, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies under applicable law.
• Portability: You have the right to request that your personal data is provided to you, or to another data controller, in a commonly used, machine-readable format.  Once we receive your request and verify your identity, we will disclose to you:
  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information, if applicable.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.
• Complaints: If you believe that your data protection rights may have been breached, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory authority.

To exercise the access, accuracy, data portability, objection and deletion rights described above, please submit a request to us by either:

• Calling us at +1 858-264-1212 
• Emailing us at info@grantchestergroup.com

Please note that there may be exceptions to these rights under applicable law.

Only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of such person.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if you do not take the foregoing actions. Making a request does not require you to create an account with us. We will use personal information provided in a request only to verify your identity or authority to make the request.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Data

When we process personal data for marketing purposes or with your consent, we process the data until you ask us to stop and for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your requests). We also keep a record of the fact that you have asked us not to send you direct marketing or to process your data so that we can respect your request in future.

Where we process personal data in connection with the provision of legal services, we keep the data for 10 years from the date the matter is closed.

Where we process personal data to comply with our legal obligations (for example, “know-your-client” information processed for anti-money laundering purposes), we will retain the data for as long as the client has open matters, and for 10 years from the date the last matter is closed.

Changes to our Privacy Notice

Any changes we may make to our Notice in the future will be posted on this page and/or, where required by law or regulation, notified to you by e-mail.

Do Not Track

We do not track visitors of the site over time and/or across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser allows you to set the DNT signal so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked. You should consult the help pages of your browser to learn how to set your preferences so that websites do not track you.

California’s Shine the Light Law

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our customers who are California residents to request and obtain from us a list of what personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year and the names and addresses of those third parties. Requests may be made only once a year and are free of charge. Under Section 1798.83, we currently do not share any personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Governing Law and Forum

The laws of the State of Delaware govern this Notice. Any dispute relating to this Notice or your use of our website shall be resolved solely in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware. If any provision of this Notice is held to be unenforceable, such provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
