Third Party Vendors. Renown may share your personal information with third party vendors engaged by Renown to provide services related to the Site and our services, but only under agreements to maintain the confidentiality and security of the information.

 

Compelled Disclosures. Renown may share your personal information, regardless of the choices you make, if Renown believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary (a) to respond to or comply with a court order or legal requirement; (b) in connection with a legal investigation; (c) to protect or defend the rights or property of Renown or users of the Site; and/or (d) to investigate or assist in preventing any violation or potential violation of the law, this Policy or our Terms of Use.

​

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

Your personal data may be collected, processed and/or otherwise transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK) and may be processed not only in the country in which it was collected but also in other countries, including the United States, where data protection and privacy laws and regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world. By providing your personal data to Renown, you consent to such transfer, collection and/or processing in the United States of your personal data, which includes the use of cookies as described in this Policy. Renown’s transfers of EEA and UK personal data to third parties outside the EEA or UK are based either on a finding of adequacy of the third party’s privacy safeguards or the use of standard contractual clauses.

 

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES

As a convenience to our visitors, the Site currently contains links to a number of websites that we believe may offer useful information. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by Renown, and the policies and procedures described here do not apply to those sites.

 

EU AND UK DATA SUBJECT INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) provide certain rights to covered data subjects. Renown offers choices about the collection, use, and sharing of your data in compliance with the GDPR and UK GDPR.

​

• Change or correct data: You can edit or update some of your personal data through your Account. You can also ask us to correct inaccurate data.

• Object to or limit use of data: You can object to our collection or processing of your data if we have no legal right to keep using it, and you can ask us to limit our use of it.

• Delete data: You can ask us to erase the data we have about you unless we have an overriding legal basis for keeping it (for example, if we have remitted payment to you and must keep some of your personal data as tax records.)

You can exercise these rights either by following instructions on the page on which you have provided such information, subscribed, or registered, or by contacting us at info@renown.global

 

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) applies to the personal information Renown collects about California consumers. This section applies to you if you are a California consumer. Terms used in this section have the meaning given to them in the CCPA.

 

Renown describes the categories of personal information we collect in the “General Public”, “Clients”, “Talent”, and “Personal Data We Collect” sections above. We describe the purposes for which we collect personal information in those sections and in the “How We Use Personal Data” section above. We may share personal information with third parties as described in the “How We Share Your Information” section above.

​

If you are a California consumer, under the CCPA you have rights to:

• obtain information about the personal information we collect about you,

• obtain information about how we use and disclose your personal information we have collected,

• delete your personal information we have collected, and

• opt out of any sale of personal information.

 

Renown does not discriminate against consumers for exercising these rights. Please note that the CCPA may limit these rights in certain circumstances. You can contact us to exercise these rights by sending an email to info@renown.global

 

Renown does not “sell” personal information as this term is used in the CCPA. If we sell personal information in the future, we will provide a right to opt out of such sales.

 

RETENTION

Renown will retain the data you provide to us as long as we believe we have a reasonable business need for it and a lawful basis for doing so. In some cases, this will be determined by contractual or other legal obligations of Renown.

 

CHILDREN

The Site is not designed for or directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is an individual under the age of 18.

 

SECURITY

Renown has implemented generally accepted standards of technical and organizational security to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Only authorized Renown personnel and third-party vendors are provided access to personally identifiable information. Despite these precautions, however, Renown cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personally-identifiable information.
