Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which ISIN.org will always work to uphold:

    • Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. ISIN.org does not use your personal data in this way.

ISIN.org will store or transfer your personal data in jurisdictions in which account administrators are located or where the company’s servers are located, which may include Belize or the US. ISIN.org may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the US, UK and/or the EEA.

Where this involves the transfer of personal data outside the EEA, our group ensures that personal data is protected by requiring all companies within the group to follow the same rules with respect to personal data usage. These are known as “binding corporate rules.” More information on binding corporate rules is available from the European Commission.

ISIN.org shares your data with external third parties, as detailed below in Section 9, that are based outside of the EEA. The following safeguards are applied to such transfers:

ISIN.org will only transfer your personal data to countries that the European Commission has deemed to provide an adequate level of personal data protection. More information is available from the European Commission.

We transfer your data to a third party based in the US, this may be protected if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield. This requires that third party to provide data protection to standards similar levels of data protection to those in Europe. More information is available from the European Commission.

Please contact ISIN.org using the details below in Section 11 for further information about the particular data protection mechanism used by ISIN.org when transferring your personal data to a third country.

4. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data ISIN.org has about you, you can ask for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request.”

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Section 11. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell ISIN.org everything ISIN.org needs to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover ISIN.org’s administrative costs in responding.

ISIN.org will respond to your subject access request within one week, under most circumstances and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, ISIN.org aims to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date ISIN.org receives your request. You will be kept fully informed of ISIN.org’s progress.
