Your Rights
If you are an EU citizen, under the GDPR, you have a number of rights with regard to your personal data.

Access. You can ask us to: confirm whether we are processing your personal data; give you a copy of that data; provide you with other information about your personal data such as what data we have, what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it abroad and how we protect it, how long we keep it for, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint, where we got your data from and whether we have carried out any profiling, to the extent that such information has not already been provided to you in this Policy.

Rectification. You can ask us to rectify inaccurate personal data. We may seek to verify the accuracy of the data before rectifying it.Erasure. You can ask us to erase your personal data, but only where: it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected; you have withdrawn your consent (where the data processing was based on consent); following a successful right to object (see 'Objection' below); it has been processed unlawfully; or to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject. We are not required to comply with your request to erase your personal data if the processing of your personal data is necessary: for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. There are certain other circumstances in which we are not required to comply with your erasure request, although these two are the most likely circumstances in which we would deny that request.

Restriction. You can ask us to restrict (i.e. keep but not use) your personal data, but only where: its accuracy is contested (see 'Rectification' above), to allow us to verify its accuracy; the processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; you have exercised the right to object, and verification of overriding grounds is pending. We can continue to use your personal data following a request for restriction, where: we have your consent; to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

Objection. You can object to any processing of your personal data which has our 'legitimate interests' as its legal basis, if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests. Once you have objected, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms.

Portability. You can ask us to provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it 'ported' directly to another Data Controller, but only where our processing is based on your consent and the processing is carried out by automated means.

Withdrawal of Consent. You can withdraw your consent in respect of any processing of personal data which is based upon a consent which you have previously provided. You can withdraw your consent by contacting us using the details provided below or using the unsubscribe links in the emails.If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you can do so by sending an email to website@spacecapital.com. Please note the following if you do wish to exercise these rights:

Identity. We take the confidentiality of all records containing personal data seriously and reserve the right to ask you for proof of your identity if you make a request.

Fees. We will not ask for a fee to exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data, unless your request for access to information is unfounded, repetitive or excessive, in which case we will charge a reasonable amount in the circumstances.

Timescales. We aim to respond to any valid requests within one month unless it is particularly complicated, or you have made several requests, in which case we aim to respond within three months. We will let you know if we are going to take longer than one month. We might ask you if you can help by telling us what exactly you want to receive or are concerned about. This will help us to action your request more quickly.

Exemptions. Local laws provide for additional exemptions, in particular to the right of access, whereby personal data can be withheld from you in certain circumstances, for example where it is subject to legal privilege.

International Transfers For operational reasons, some Space Capital affiliates, with whom we share your data, and our service providers who have access to your personal data, are located outside of your country. We may also share your personal data overseas, for example if we receive a legal or regulatory request from a foreign law enforcement body. We will always take steps to ensure that any international transfer of information is carefully managed to protect your rights and interests, in particular we will either:

  • Only transfer your personal data to countries which are recognized as providing an adequate level of legal protection; or
  • Ensure transfers outside of your country are subject to additional safeguards required under local law - for example, the EU Model Clauses and/or the EU - U.S. Privacy Shield.

You have the right to ask us for more information about the safeguards we have put in place as mentioned above. Contact us if you would like further information or to request a copy where the safeguard is documented (which may be redacted to ensure confidentiality).

How long do we keep your personal data?
We will retain your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes listed in this notice. In particular, where there has been no interaction (e.g. a log-in, email open, newsletter sign up,) a record will be archived after [2] years and deleted after [6] years, unless an exemption applies as follows:
Where we are required to do so to meet legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements, we will retain your personal data for longer periods of time, but only where permitted to do so, including so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a possibility of legal action relating to your personal data or dealings. We maintain a data retention policy which we apply to records in our care. Where your personal data is no longer required, and we do not have a legal requirement to retain it, we will ensure it is either securely deleted or stored in a way such that it is anonymized, and the personal data is no longer used by the business.
