Data protection laws in Europe distinguish between organizations that process personal data for their own purposes (known as “controllers”) and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as “processors”). Wonksknow acts as a controller with respect to personal data collected as you interact with our websites, emails, and advertisements. In some instances, Wonksknow acts a processor on behalf of a school or other educational institution, which is the controller. Any questions that you have relating to the processing of personal data by Wonksknow as a processor should be directed to the relevant school or educational institution.
Data protection laws in Europe require a “lawful basis” for processing personal data. Our lawful bases include where: (a) you have given consent to the processing for one or more specific purposes, either to us or to our service providers, partners, or clients; (b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you; (c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation; or (d) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party, and your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those interests. Where applicable, we will transfer your personal data to third countries subject to appropriate or suitable safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.
You have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we have collected about you. You also have the right to data portability and the right to restrict or object to our processing of personal data we have collected about you. In addition, you have the right to ask us not to process your personal data (or provide it to third parties to process) for marketing purposes or purposes materially different than for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. You may withdraw your consent at any time for any data processing we do based on consent you have provided to us.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as set out in the “Contact Wonksknow” section above and specify which right you are seeking to exercise. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may require specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. If personal data about you has been processed by us as a processor on
behalf of a school or other educational institution and you wish to exercise any rights you have with such personal data, please inquire with the school or other educational institution directly. If you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide the name of the school or other educational institution on whose behalf we processed your personal data. We will refer your request to that school or other educational institution, and will support them to the extent required by applicable law in responding to your request.
