3. Legal Basis for Processing Your Personal Data

Under the GDPR, we must have a valid legal basis to process your Personal Data. We rely on the following bases:

  • Consent: We will process your Personal Data for specific purposes when you have given us clear, affirmative consent. Examples include subscribing to our newsletter or consenting to the use of non-essential advertising cookies. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Legitimate Interests: We may process your Personal Data when it is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided that these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include:
    • Operating, maintaining, and improving our website and services.
    • Understanding how users interact with our content to enhance user experience.
    • Communicating with you and responding to your inquiries.
    • Ensuring the security of our website and preventing fraud.
    • Serving relevant advertisements to support the continued operation of our free-to-access content.
  • Legal Obligation: We may be required to process your Personal Data to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which we are subject.

4. Your Data Protection Rights Under GDPR

The GDPR provides you with a comprehensive set of rights regarding your Personal Data. We are fully committed to upholding these rights.

  1. a) The Right to Access
    You have the right to request access to the Personal Data we hold about you. This is often called a “Data Subject Access Request.” Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of your data, confirmation of whether we are processing it, and other supplementary information.
  2. b) The Right to Rectification
    You have the right to have any inaccurate Personal Data we hold about you corrected, or to have any incomplete Personal Data completed.
  3. c) The Right to Erasure (The ‘Right to be Forgotten’)
    You have the right to request the deletion of your Personal Data. This right applies in certain circumstances, such as when your data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, you have withdrawn your consent, or the data has been unlawfully processed.
  4. d) The Right to Restrict Processing
    You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Data in certain situations. For example, if you contest the accuracy of the data, you can request that we limit processing until its accuracy is verified.
  5. e) The Right to Data Portability
    You have the right to receive the Personal Data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that we transmit this data directly to another data controller, where technically feasible.
  6. f) The Right to Object
    You have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data at any time. This right applies particularly where we are processing your data based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. If you object, we will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
  7. g) Rights in Relation to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
    You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. Emirates Opulence does not currently engage in such automated decision-making.

5. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights described above, please send a clear and detailed request to our Data Protection Representative at privacy@biocaptionbd.com.

To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond to all legitimate requests within one month, as required by the GDPR. Occasionally, it may take us longer if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

6. International Data Transfers

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of the EEA.

When we transfer your Personal Data outside the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate safeguards. This may include using specific contracts approved by the European Commission known as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or transferring to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection.

7. Data Retention

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

8. Lodging a Complaint

If you have any concerns about our use of your Personal Data, we hope you will contact us first to resolve the issue. However, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority in the European Economic Area (EEA).
