Magen Financial LLC European Data Privacy Addendum

 

Purposes for Addendum

This European Data Privacy Addendum, including any future modifications (the “Addendum”), forms a material part of Magen’s Privacy Statement and applies to any “personal data” (as defined under the GDPR) that we may “process” (as defined under the GDPR) through your use of the Services, whether as a guest or a customer. The purpose of this Addendum is to briefly describe: 1) your rights under the GDPR; 2) the legal bases that support Magen Financial’s processing activities; and 3) whether any automated processing methods are used for processing your personal data.


Your Rights as a European Data Subject

The GDPR provides “data subjects” (essentially natural persons that are the subject of personal data and are residents of the EU or UK) with a wide array of rights related to data privacy. Magen Financial is considered a “data controller” under the GDPR with respect to its processing of your personal data. A data controller is essentially a person or organization that can determine how and why your personal data is processed and is responsible for ensuring that you are able to exercise certain privacy rights. Although Magen Financial affiliates, service providers, and business partners will also collect and process your personal data, as described in the Privacy Statement, Magen Financial will always be the data controller in respect to such processing. If you wish to exercise any of the rights detailed below, please send an e- mail sufficiently detailing such request to: contact@magenfinancial.com. Please note that if we receive a request from you to exercise your rights, Magen Financial has the right to have you take reasonable steps to confirm your identity, including your residency within the EU or UK.


Right to Transparent Communication

You are entitled to a receive information from Magen Financial regarding its collection and processing of your personal data. All such information must be provided in a concise, transparent, intelligible, and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. Such information has been provided by Magen Financial in its Privacy Statement, as it is amended from time to time.


Right to Access Basic Information

You have the right to obtain confirmation from Magen Financial as to how your personal data are being processed, including the following information:

• Confirmation of whether, where, and by whom your personal data are being processed;

• Purpose(s) for the processing;

• Categories of personal data being processed;

• Categories of recipients with whom the data may be shared;

• The period for which the data will be stored (or the criteria used to determine that period);

• The source of the data (where you were not the source); and

• Information about the existence of, and an explanation of the logic involved in, any automated decision-making that has a significant effect on you.


You may also request to receive an electronic copy of your personal data that are processed by Magen Financial. Magen Financial Group is required to provide any requested information within one (1) month of receiving an access request. However, if Magen Capital Group receives a large numbers of requests, or especially complex requests, this time limit may be extended by a maximum of two (2) further months as long as Magen Financial provides you with an explanation for the delay within the original one (1) month timeframe. If Magen Financial fails to meet these deadlines, you may complain to the relevant Data Protection Authority (explained below) and may be able to seek a judicial remedy in the relevant EU Member State’s court system.


Right to Data Portability

You have the right to transfer your personal data between controllers (e.g., to move account details from one online platform to another). Specifically, you have the right to:

• Receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format that supports re-use;

• Transfer your personal data from one controller to another;

• Store your personal data for further personal use on a private device; and

• Have your personal data transmitted directly between controllers without hindrance.


Please note that any inferred or derived data (data derived through use of analytical processes) do not fall within the right to data portability, because such data are not provided by you. Additionally, Magen Financial is not obliged to retain personal data for longer than is otherwise necessary simply to service a potential data portability request.


Right to Rectify Information

Magen Financial is required to ensure that inaccurate or incomplete data are erased or corrected. You have the right to request Magen Financial correct or erase personal data that you believe to be inaccurate or incomplete.


Right to Withdraw Consent

Your consent can provide a lawful basis for Magen Financial to process your personal data and/or transfer your data internationally. However, you have the right to withdraw such consent. However, please note that other lawful bases may apply to the processing or transfer of your data.


Right to Erasure/Right to be Forgotten

Under the GDPR, in certain circumstances, you may have the right to have Magen Financial erase your personal data, cease further dissemination of the data, and potentially have third parties halt processing your data upon your request. This right is commonly referred to as the “right of data erasure” or “the right to be forgotten.” You have the right to erasure of your personal data if:

• The data are no longer needed by Magen Financial for their original purpose (and no new lawful purpose exists);

• The lawful basis for the processing is your consent, you withdraw that consent, and no other lawful ground exists for Magen Capital Group to process the information;

• You exercise your right to object to processing and Magen Financial has no overriding grounds for continuing the processing;

• The data have been processed unlawfully; or

• Erasure is necessary for compliance with other EU laws or the national law of a relevant EU Member State.


Right to Object to Processing Personal data for Public or Legitimate Interests

Where Magen Financial is processing your personal data on the basis of having a “public interest” or “legitimate interests”, those bases are not absolute and you may have a right to object to such processing. If you object, Magen Financial must cease such processing unless it either: 1) demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms; or 2) requires the data in order to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.


Right to Object to Processing for the Purposes of Direct Marketing

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of receiving direct marketing from Magen Financial Group (including “profiling” activities as detailed further below).


Right to Object to Processing for Scientific, Historical, or Statistical Purposes

Where your personal data are processed for scientific and historical research purposes or statistical purposes, you have the right to object, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.


Right to Restrict Processing

In some circumstances, you may be entitled to limit the purposes for which Magen Financial can process your personal data.
Specifically, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data if:

• The accuracy of the data is contested (and only for as long as it takes to verify that accuracy);

• The processing is unlawful and you request restriction (as opposed to exercising the right to erasure);

• Magen Financial no longer needs the data for their original purpose, but the data are still required by Magen Financial Group to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights; or

• If verification of overriding grounds is pending in the context of an erasure request.


Fees for Requests

Magen Financial is required to give effect to your rights of access, rectification, erasure, and the right to object free of charge. However, Magen Financial may charge a reasonable fee for repetitive requests, unfounded or excessive requests, or further copies beyond the initial copy provided.


Right to Make a Compliance to the Relevant DPA

Data Protection Authorities (“DPAs”) are the regulatory authorities responsible for monitoring and enforcing data protection laws at a national level and providing guidance on the interpretation of those laws. DPAs are empowered to oversee enforcement of the GDPR, investigate breaches of the GDPR, and bring legal proceedings where necessary. If you believe that your rights have been infringed by Magen Financial, you have the right to ask Magen Financial to remedy the situation. If you believe you have not received an adequate response from Magen Financial, you may file a complaint with the relevant DPA (either the DPA for the EU Member State in which you live or work or the Member State in which the alleged infringement occurred). A list of DPAs may be found at: https://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.html

Other examples could include where Magen Financial or one of its affiliates is required to respond to a court order, subpoena, or law enforcement agency request, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to protect the safety of individuals.


International Data Transfers

If you access the Services from the EU or UK, Magen Financial will be transmitting your personal data to the United States so that Magen Financial can conduct certain processing activities as identified in the Privacy Statement.
