PROCESSING CLIENT INFORMATION
At MBSL we take your privacy seriously and will only use your information to provide the Services you have requested from us as detailed in your Letter of Engagement. We will only use this information subject to your instructions, data protection legislation, statutory legislation and our duty of confidentiality. Due to the nature of engagements, MBSL processes personal and other data on behalf of clients on a contractual basis. Where MBSL processes personal data on behalf of a client, MBSL is the Data Processor and the client is the Data Controller. MBSL acknowledge our responsibilities as a Data Processor and a Data Controller where relevant, under Irish Data Protection legislation.
As a Data Processor, MBSL acknowledges that we process personal data on behalf of the Data Controller, and should:
Carry out the processing only subject to our instructions from the Data Controller and provide appropriate security measures for the data.
Comply with Data Protection legislation on all aspects of processing personal data and protecting the rights of data subjects.
Ensure that personal data is only used for the purpose it was provided for to MBSL.
As a Data Controller, our clients acknowledge that they are responsible under Irish Data Protection legislation for the personal data that is provided to MBSL and should:
Comply with data protection legislation on all aspects of processing personal data and protecting the rights of data subjects.
Apply technical and organisational security measures and take reasonable steps to ensure compliance with those measures.
Take responsibility for any Data Subject Access Requests made in relation to personal data supplied to MBSL.
Notify data subjects in relation to international transfers, especially outside the EU.
As part of the services offered to clients through our engagement, information which our clients give to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union (“EU”). For example, some of our third-party providers may be located outside of the EU. Where this is the case we will take the necessary steps to ensure the appropriate security measures are taken, so that privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Policy. If our clients use our services while outside the EU, information may be transferred outside the EU to provide those services. The client may request MBSL not to use services outside of the EU at any point in the engagement. This may result in a review of the terms of the engagement.
SECURITY PRECAUTIONS IN PLACE ON DATA COLLECTED
When you give us personal information, we take steps to make sure that it’s treated securely. Any financially sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with the following 256 Bit encryption on TLS 1.2 Protocol. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will be visible in the URL bar.
Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are sent normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
