Legal Basis for Processing

Our legal basis for collecting and using your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Statement will depend on the Personal Information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.  In general, we collect and process your Personal Information on one or more of the following bases:

  • Your consent, for example where we have obtained your consent to process your personal data for certain activities (such as the use of cookies for online tracking and analysis).  You are free to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting [email protected]  If you withdraw your consent it will not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on your consent before you withdrew it.  Where applicable, we may ask for your consent to processing at the point where you provide your Personal Information.
  • For compliance with ETHEREAL INTERRUPT’ legal obligations where other laws require the processing of your Personal Information or where we need your Personal Information to protect your vital interests or those of another person. 
  • ETHEREAL INTERRUPT’ (and its Business Partners’) legitimate interests which include the provision of this website and/or relevant products and services, and/or the carrying out of marketing and profiling activities, provided always that our legitimate interests are not outweighed by any prejudice or harm to your rights and freedoms.

If you have any questions or need more information concerning the legal basis on which we collect your Personal Information, please contact us at [email protected].

Retention of Your Data

For some of your personal data you may have a legal, contractual or other requirement or obligation for you to provide us with your personal data.  If you do not provide us with the requested personal data, we may not be able to properly perform our contract with you or comply with legal obligations and we may have to terminate our relationship.  For other personal data you may not be under an obligation to provide it to us, but if you do not provide it then we may not be able to properly provide you with our goods and services or perform our arrangements with you or the organisation you represent.

Where you have given us your consent to use your personal data in a particular manner, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time, which you may do by contacting us at [email protected].  We will generally only process your personal data based on your consent in relation to direct marketing or in relation to the processing of data relating to criminal convictions and offences.

Please note however that the withdrawal of your consent will not affect any use of the data made before you withdrew your consent and we may still be entitled to hold and process the relevant personal data to the extent that we are entitled to do so on a basis other than your consent.  Withdrawing consent may also have the same effects as not providing the data in the first place, for example we may no longer be able to provide marketing information to you.

We may anonymise and aggregate any of the personal data we hold (so that it does not identify you).  We may use anonymised and aggregated data for purposes that include testing our IT systems, research, data analysis, improving our site and developing new products and services and for any other purpose.

International Transfers

ETHEREAL INTERRUPT may transfer your Personal Information to subsidiaries and/or to its Business Partners, if required for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement.  This may involve the transfer of your Personal Information to countries outside your home country or region, including outside the European Economic Area if that is your region, which may have a different level of data protection from your home country.  Such countries may include, without limitation, countries in which ETHEREAL INTERRUPT or its subsidiaries, affiliates or Business Partners maintain facilities (see the bottom of this Privacy Statement for a list of our affiliates).  In order to provide adequate protection for the transfer of your Personal Information, we have in place contractual arrangements (as appropriate) with our subsidiaries, affiliates and Business Partners in respect of such transfers (based on EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses).  We will take all reasonable technical and organisational measures to safeguard Personal Information we transfer.

How We May Share Your Personal Information

We may share your Personal Information with other ETHEREAL INTERRUPT entities or Business Partners for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, including (without limitation) to carry out transactions you request, or to make our business (or that of our subsidiaries) more responsive to your needs.  Our subsidiaries and/or Business Partners may contact you with information about ETHEREAL INTERRUPT branded products, services or offers. We will only share your Personal Information with ETHEREAL INTERRUPT and Business Partners who agree to protect your Personal Information and use it solely for the purposes specified by ETHEREAL INTERRUPT.
In addition, ETHEREAL INTERRUPT may share your Personal Information with participants in our sales and marketing chain, including but not limited to retailers, resellers, distributors, integrators, order fulfillers and some sales agents and resellers/channel partners, for the limited purposes of selling, marketing or providing support for ETHEREAL INTERRUPT products and services.
We may disclose your Personal Information for any purpose with your consent.
We may also disclose your Personal Information in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention or other legal action; as required by law or regulation; if ETHEREAL INTERRUPT (or a part of ETHEREAL INTERRUPT) is sold or merges with another company; or if ETHEREAL INTERRUPT reasonably believes it is necessary to protect ETHEREAL INTERRUPT, its customers or the public.

How We and Our Partners Use Web Beacons, Pixel Tags and Tracking Technology

ETHEREAL INTERRUPT or its Business Partners may use web beacons on our websites, in our email messages, in our advertisements on other websites, or in our advertisements in others’ email messages. 

A web beacon is an electronic image that can be used to recognise a cookie on your computer when you view a web page or email message. Web beacons help us measure the effectiveness of our website and our advertising in various ways. For example, web beacons may count the number of individuals who visit our website from a particular advertisement or they may tell us when a web page is viewed and provide a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. Web beacons may also measure the effectiveness of our email campaigns, by counting the number of individuals who open or act upon an email message, determining when an email message is opened and determining how many times an email message is forwarded. Subject to local laws, we may combine the information that we collect through web beacons with other Personal Information we have collected from you.

We may allow some of our Business Partners to compile individual or aggregated statistics from the use of web beacons on etherealinterrupt.com by ETHEREAL INTERRUPT, its agents or others, to determine the effectiveness of online marketing and to develop statistics on how often clicking on an advertisement results in an action on the advertiser’s site. Aggregate information may include demographic and usage information. No Personal Information about you is shared with Business Partners for this research.

You can make some web beacons unusable by rejecting cookies in your web browser as described in the How We and Our Partners Use Cookies section above.

When you visit our websites or view one of our email messages, we may use pixel tags (also called “clear” gifs), tracking links and/or similar technology to note some of the pages you visit on our websites. We may also use pixel tags to determine what types of email your browser supports. We may use the information collected through web beacons, pixel tags, tracking links and similar technology in combination with your Personal
