When we say ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘Essential Studios™’ it’s because that’s who we are, and we own and run the Sites.
The most common types of information we collect are things like usernames, member names, email addresses, IP addresses, other contact details, survey responses, blogs, photos, payment information such as payment agent details, transactional details, tax information, support queries, forum comments, content you directly make available on our Sites (such as item descriptions) and web analytics data. We will also collect personal information from job applications (such as your CV, the application form itself, cover letter and interview notes).
c. other third party sources and/or partners from Canada, Australia, US or UK, whereby we receive additional information about you (to the extent permitted by applicable law), such as demographic data or fraud detection information, and combine it with information we have about you. For example, fraud warnings from service providers like identity verification service. We also receive information about you and your activities on and off the Essential Studios™ platform through partnerships, or about your experiences and interactions from our partner ad networks. We also receive information about you as a rights holder from our third party authors. For example, information in the form of a model release when your image is used in an item made available on our Sites.
a. to fulfill a contract, or take steps linked to a contract: in particular, in facilitating and processing transactions that take place on the Sites, like where you purchase an item from our marketplace.
xiii. processing your job application to Essential Studios™.
j. other people where we are authorized or required by law to do so.
We are based in Canada, so your data will be processed in Canada. Some of the recipients we have described in section 10 above, and to whom we disclose your personal information, are based outside Canada in places like Australia, India, Ireland, Philippines, Poland, Romania, UK, and the US. We do this on the basis of your consent to this policy. In order to protect your information, we take care where possible to work with subcontractors and service providers who we believe maintain an acceptable standard of data security compliance.
You can access some of the information that we collect about you by logging in to your accounts. You also have the right to make a request to access other information we hold about you and to request corrections of any errors in that information. You may also close any accounts you have with us for any of our Sites at any time. To make an access or correction request, contact our privacy champion using the contact details at the end of this policy.
If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please contact our privacy champion in writing at 370 A Maple Street, Fredericton, NB E3A 3R4, Canada or [email protected].
These rights are limited in some situations—for example, we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your personal information. In some instances, this means that we may retain some data even if you withdraw your consent.
Where we require your personal information to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory; if such data is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship with you, or to meet obligations placed on us. In all other cases, provision of requested personal information is optional.
c. in which you consider the alleged infringement has occurred.
