Public Authority Data Requests
Effective Date: 23/11/2023
At AuctionForecaster, we are committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of our users. To ensure transparency and accountability in handling requests from public authorities for personal data, we adhere to the following policies and processes:
1. Legal Review of Requests
Each request for user data from a public authority is thoroughly reviewed to determine its legality. We ensure that all requests comply with applicable laws and regulations before considering any disclosure of personal information.
2. Challenging Unlawful Requests
If we determine that a request is unlawful, unclear, or overly broad, AuctionForecaster will actively challenge the request. This includes seeking clarification, resisting demands that violate legal standards, and involving legal counsel as necessary to protect our users' rights.
3. Data Minimization Policy
In cases where we are legally obligated to comply with a valid request, we follow a strict data minimization policy. This means we disclose only the minimum amount of information necessary to fulfill the request, thereby safeguarding our users' privacy as much as possible.
4. Documentation and Accountability
We maintain detailed records of all data requests from public authorities. This includes documentation of the request itself, our response, the legal reasoning applied, and the individuals or entities involved in the process. This documentation ensures transparency and accountability in our operations.
AuctionForecaster is dedicated to respecting user privacy and will continue to take all necessary measures to protect personal information in accordance with our values and legal obligations. If you have questions about how we handle such requests, please contact us at admin @ auctionforecaster.com.
