Our Platforms are not intended to target children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect or process Personal Data belonging to children via our Platforms.
Third Party Goods and Services
We will not send you information relating to third party goods and services from outside Clear Channel unless specifically requested.
Third Party websites
Where links from our Platforms are provided to non-Clear Channel websites, we are not responsible for those websites and nor do we imply endorsement of the linked websites. These third-party websites will be governed by different terms of use (including privacy notices) and you are solely responsible for viewing and using each such website in accordance with the applicable terms of use. We are not responsible for how your Personal Information is handled by such third-party websites. These websites are not covered by this Notice.
Security of Personal Data
Your Personal Data (and commercial information) will be kept as confidential and as secure as possible. We employ appropriate technical and organisational measures consistent with our legal obligations and standard industry practice. Further, as required by the European General Data Protection Regulations 2016 we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of Personal Data which you have given to us, to prevent unauthorised access as far as reasonably possible.
We use industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your Personal Data, including “firewalls” and Secure Socket Layers. We treat your Personal Data as an asset that must be protected against loss, alteration, destruction and unauthorised access and which our employees must keep confidential, and we use many different security techniques to protect your Personal Data from unauthorised access by users’ inside and outside of Clear Channel. We also use internal protections to limit access to users’ Personal Data to only those employees who need the Personal Data to perform a specific function. It is impossible to guarantee security but we commit to taking appropriate action in the event of a breach.
Transfer of Personal Data
Other than to Third Party Data Processors governed by a data processing agreement which replicates the terms of this Notice, as elsewhere provided for in this Notice, where it is necessary to involve a third party service provider for the performance of our contractual obligations or by operation of law, we will not transfer identifiable, non-aggregated Personal Data to third parties.
Data Controller Intragroup Transfer
Clear Channel Nederland sits amongst a group of businesses which are governed by a lead entity, Clear Channel International Limited, registered address, 33 Golden Square, London W1F 9JT. The Parent companies of Clear Channel International are and Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings. From time to time, it may be necessary to transfer Personal Data collected by Clear Channel Nederland to the lead entity and its US parent companies together with their data processors, in our legitimate interests.
Transfers outside the European Union
Non-European countries may have data protection laws that are less protective than the legislation where you live. Where this is the case, (such as the United States), our transfers of data will be regulated by standard contractual clauses relating to the transfer of Personal Data outside of the European Union (or outside of jurisdictions deemed “adequate” for data privacy by the European Union). We will not transfer your data outside of the European Union for any other reason than described in this Notice, unless we are required to do so by operation of law.
Sale or Merger
If Clear Channel or its assets are sold to or merge with another entity outside Clear Channel, you should expect that some or all of the Personal Data collected by Clear Channel may be transferred to the buyer/surviving company. If so, we will seek to obligate the acquiring company to use any Personal Data transferred in a manner consistent with applicable legislation and this Notice, but cannot guarantee that it will be able to impose that requirement or that the acquiring company will comply.
Retention of Personal Data
If you have provided us with Personal Data, your Personal Data will be retained for the duration of your relationship with us, the length of time required by applicable legislation, or otherwise a reasonable period of time (and we or our third party data processors will amend or dispose of your Personal Data when no longer necessary).
