You may ask to see what personal information we hold about you and be provided with:

- details of the purpose for which it is being or is to be processed (see “How We Use Your Personal Information” above);

Details in respect of the above points are all set out in this Privacy Statement; however, if you need further clarification, please contact us (see ‘How to Contact Us’ below).
Requests for your personal information must be made to us (see ‘How to Contact Us’ below) specifying what personal information you need access to, and a copy of such request may be kept by us for our legitimate purposes in managing the service. To help us find the information easily, please give us as much information as possible about the type of information you would like to see. If, to comply with your request, we would have to disclose information relating to or identifying another person, we may need to obtain the consent of that person, if possible. If we cannot obtain consent, we may need to withhold that information or edit the data to remove the identity of that person, if possible.
We are also entitled to refuse a data access request from you where (i) such request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of its repetitive character (in this case, if we decide to provide you with the personal information requested, we may charge you a reasonable fee to account for administrative costs of doing so), or (ii) we are entitled to do so pursuant to Data Protection Laws.
- Right to update your personal information or correct any mistakes in your personal information
You can require us to correct any mistakes in your personal information which we hold free of charge. If you would like to do this, please:
- email or write to us (see “How to Contact Us” below);
- let us have enough information to identify you (e.g., name, registration details); and
- let us know the information that is incorrect and what it should be replaced with.
If we are required to update your personal information, we will inform recipients to whom that personal information has been disclosed (if any), unless this proves impossible or has a disproportionate effort.
It is your responsibility that all personal information provided to us is accurate and complete. If any information you have given us changes, please let us know as soon as possible (see “How to Contact Us” below).
- Right to ask us to stop contacting you with direct marketing
We have a legitimate interest to send you electronic communications in connection with the service and related matters (which may include but shall not be limited to newsletters, announcement of new features etc. and which may also appear on social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram). We may also ask you for your consent to send you direct marketing from time to time. You may be able to select your preferences with respect to direct marketing when registering Your Account. We may also ask you different questions about different services, including competitions.

- Click on ‘unsubscribe’ in our email.
- Contact us as set out under “How to Contact Us” below.
We will provide you with information on action taken on a request to stop direct marketing – this may be in the form of a response email confirming that you have ‘unsubscribed’. Unsubscribing from direct marketing does not unsubscribe you from essential electronic communications in respect of the administration of Your Account.
- Rights in relation to automated decision making
You may ask us to ensure that, if we are evaluating you, we don’t base any decisions solely on an automated process and have any decision reviewed by a member of staff. Profiling may occur in relation to your personal information for the purposes of targeted advertising and de-targeting you from specified advertising. This allows us to tailor our services or market our services to the appropriate customers and helps to minimize the risk of you receiving unwanted advertising. These rights will not apply in all circumstances, for example where the decision is (i) authorized or required by law, (ii) necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us, or (ii) is based on your explicit consent. In all cases, we will endeavor to take steps to safeguard your interests.
- Right to restrict or prevent processing of your personal information
In accordance with Data Protection Laws, you may request that we stop processing your personal information temporarily if:
- you do not think that your personal information is accurate (but we may start processing again once we have checked and confirmed that it is accurate);
- the processing is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase your personal information;
- we no longer need the personal information for our processing; or
- You have objected to processing because you believe that your interests should override the basis upon which we process your personal information.
If you exercise your right to restrict us from processing your personal information, we will continue to process the personal information if:
- you consent to such processing;
- the processing is necessary for the exercise or defense of legal claims;
- the processing is necessary for the protection of the rights of other individuals or legal persons; or
- The processing is necessary for public interest reasons.
- Right to data portability
In accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws, you may ask for an electronic copy of your personal information that you have provided to us and which we hold electronically, or for us to provide this directly to another party. This right only applies to personal information that you have provided to us – it does not extend to data generated by us. In addition, the right to data portability also only applies where:
- the processing is based on your consent or for the performance of a contract; and
- The processing is carried out by automated means.
- Right to erasure
In accordance with Data Protection Laws, you can ask us (please see “How to Contact Us” below) to erase your personal information where:
- we do not need your personal information in order to process it for the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement;
- if you had given us consent to process your personal information, you withdraw that consent, and we cannot otherwise legally process your personal information;
- you object to our processing, and we do not have any legal basis for continuing to process your personal information;
- your personal information has been processed unlawfully or has not been erased when it should have been; or
- personal information must be erased to comply with the law.
We may continue to process your personal information in certain circumstances in accordance with Data Protection Laws. Where you have requested the erasure of your personal information, we will inform recipients to whom that personal information has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We will also inform you about those recipients if you request it.
- Right to complain to the data protection supervisory authority
If you do not think that we have processed your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Statement, please contact us in the first instance (please see “How to Contact Us” below). If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the relevant data protection supervisory authority.
- Right to withdraw your consent
If you have consented to our processing your personal information in respect of any matter referred to in this Privacy Statement, you may withdraw such consent at any time by contacting us via the “How to Contact Us” facility referred to below. Please note that if you withdraw your consent to such processing, it may not be possible for us to provide all/part of the service to you. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
How Long Your Personal Information is Stored
We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, unless a longer retention period is 1) necessary for the relevant activities or services, 2) subject to a mandated retention period required by litigation or investigation, or 3) otherwise required or permitted by law.
International Data Transfers
For individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA), your personal information may be transferred to countries outside the EEA… in particular, to the United States. We have appropriate and suitable safeguards in place to protect your personal information and the transfer of your personal information. Prior to sharing your personal information with such third-party service providers, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of data protection as required under Data Protection Laws. These include entry by us into appropriate contracts with all transferees of such data, a decision of the European Commission confirming an adequate level of data protection in the respective non-EEA country and/or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or the Data Protection Commission and any relevant supplementary measures. Please contact us for further information on the means to ensure an adequate level of data protection and the transfer mechanism we rely upon for such transfers.
If you choose to provide us with personal information, it will be stored in the US and may be stored in other jurisdictions. Techglobal may transfer that information to its staff operating outside the EEA who work for it, service providers, affiliates and subsidiaries, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are visiting the Site from the EU or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please note that your personal information is transferred to the US and may be transferred to other jurisdictions. The US does not, and these other jurisdictions may not, have the same data protection laws as the EU and may not afford many of the rights conferred upon data subjects in the EU.[3]

Occasionally we may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. The fact that we include links to other websites does not mean that Techglobal Consulting approves of or endorses any other third-party website or the content of that website.

Techglobal Consulting maintains reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration, or destruction, and we require the third-party service providers and business partners that we work with to do the same. No data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you understand that any information you transfer to Techglobal is done at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure security on our systems.

Dispute Resolution
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or Us (individual, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party or the other.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (Except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (AAA Consumer Rules), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need note provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Fairfax County, VA. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Fairfax Country, VA and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non convenience with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Use.
If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitration any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by the law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration:
- Any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party
- Any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use
- Any claim for injunctive relief
If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitration any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
