At Abird Limited, the security of your data is of paramount importance. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data that we collect and process about you. The measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing. Specific measures we use include:

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorised personnel based on their roles and responsibilities. This ensures that only individuals with legitimate business needs can access sensitive information.
  • Encryption: All personal data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols. This protects your data from unauthorised access or interception during transmission or storage.
  • Segregated Access: Personal data is stored within segregated environments to prevent unauthorised access and to ensure that data handling is isolated from unrelated systems and users.
  • Regular Audits and Monitoring: We perform regular audits and continuous monitoring of our systems to promptly detect and address potential vulnerabilities or unauthorised access.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Access to systems containing personal data requires multi-factor authentication, adding an extra layer of security to our systems.
  • Compliance with Standards: We adhere to relevant data protection regulations and industry best practices, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and standards such as GDPR.

In some cases, where your personal data is transferred to another Abird Limited company or third parties, it is processed in countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).

Specifically, our Website servers are located in the United States and our group companies in Ireland and United States. In addition, some of our third-party service providers and partners operate in the United States. This means that when we collect your personal data we will process it in any of these countries.

Where we transfer your personal data to countries and territories outside of the European Economic Area and the UK, which have been formally recognised as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, we rely on the relevant “adequacy decisions” from the European Commission and “adequacy regulations" (data bridges) from the Secretary of State in the UK. We transfer from UK to Ireland and from Ireland to the UK in reliance on the European Commission’s adequacy decision and the Secretary of State's adequacy regulations.

Where the transfer is not subject to an adequacy decision or regulations, we have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable laws. The safeguards we use to transfer personal data are, in case of both our group companies and third party service providers and partners, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses as issued on 4 June 2021 under Article 46(2) using Module 1 for controller to controller and Module 2 for controller to processor transfers, including the UK Addendum permitted under Article 46(2) of the UK GDPR for the transfer of data originating in the UK.

Our Standard Contractual Clauses entered into with our third-party service providers and partners can be provided on request. Please note that some sensitive commercial information may be redacted from the Standard Contractual Clauses.

We retain the personal data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). In certain circumstances, we will need to keep your information for legal reasons after our relationship has ended. The specific retention periods depend on the nature of the information and why it is collected and processed and the nature of the legal requirement. For example, we may keep your information when we have a legal obligation to do so (for example to deal with and resolve requests and complaints, or for litigation or regulatory matters (for example we may retain your information if there was an ongoing legal claim, and the information was relevant to the claim. This information would be retained until the complaint or legal claim had been concluded.

When we have no ongoing legitimate need or legal reason to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
