8.3 Change in Business Control or Sale

As we continue to develop our business we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event that we sell some or all of our assets, or that the Company or substantially all of our assets are acquired, your Personal Information, or control of such information, may be one of the transferred assets. As such, we may share your Personal Information with a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of the Company’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding.

You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Site of any change in ownership or uses of your Personal Information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your Personal Information.

8.4 Our Participant Lists

For our group courses and retreats, the Company may prepare a list with each participant’s name, location (city and/or country), and profession. This may be included in each participant’s welcome kit which will be shared at the start of the course or upon arrival at the retreat. If you do not wish for your name or details to appear on such as list, please let us know and we will be happy to remove.

9. International Transfers of Personal Information

In some jurisdictions, data privacy laws may require us to obtain your consent before we transfer your information from your originating country to other countries.

Please note that your information will be stored and processed on servers in Jamaica and in jurisdiction(s) other than Jamaica. Additionally, some of the third parties to which we transfer your Personal Information (as described in Section 8.1) may be based in these and/or other locations. The jurisdictions where your information will be stored or processed may have lower standards of data protection and privacy than in your home country.

By using our services and agreeing to this Privacy Notice, you are, to the extent required and permitted under your local law, granting your consent to such a transfer of your Personal Information. If you do not consent to this transfer, then please do not register on our Website as we will be unable to provide you with our services.

10. Choice and Opting Out

You can always choose whether to receive any or all communications from us, other than communications regarding your bookings and billing and administrative emails such as updates to our Privacy Notice or Terms and Conditions if we choose to provide such notices to you in this manner.

All emails from us will have a clear “From” field that identifies us as the sender and will contain our address for contact purposes.

You may review, change, or delete your email preferences or the name you provided us for email services. To do so, please click the “unsubscribe” or “change your preferences” or “manage your preferences” link in the footer of one of our informational or marketing emails. You may also opt out by sending an email to care@myheartwellness.com and stating that you would like to opt out of email communications from the Company. We will remove you from our mailing list as soon as technically feasible. In such cases, your contact details will be “suppressed” rather than deleted in order to ensure that your request is recorded and retained unless you provide a later consent that overrides it.

11. Your Rights as Regards to the Processing of Your Data

In accordance with applicable laws, you may have rights in relation to your Personal Information. These include:

You have the right to know whether and which of your Personal Information is processed by us and for what purposes.
You have the right to request a copy of your Personal Information, and to request that it be rectified (corrected or completed) or deleted.
You have the right to data portability, whereby your Personal Information be moved to you or another controller whom you designate in a structured, machine-readable format.
You can object to the processing of your Personal Information, request that its processing be restricted, or opt out of receiving informational or marketing communications.
You have the right to withdraw any express consent that you have provided to the processing of your Personal Information at any time without penalty. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing based upon consent that occurred prior to your withdrawal of consent.
You have the right to present a compliant to your local data protection authority should you have unresolved concerns about our collection and use of your information.

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal Personal Information about another person, where they would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights), or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. We will inform you of relevant exemptions in applicable data protection laws that we rely upon when responding to any request you make.

To exercise any of these rights, or to obtain other information, please send us a written request by letter or email to the addresses given in Section 14. We respond to all requests that we receive from individuals who wish to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to responding to your requests. The verification steps will vary depending on the sensitivity of the Personal Information and whether you have an account with us.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Company and its services are not directed at persons under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly solicit or collect or maintain information of any kind from such persons without prior verifiable parental or guardian consent.

Protecting the privacy and safety of minors online is very important to us. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personally identifiable information from a minor, we will delete such information from our records. In addition, if a parent or guardian becomes aware that a child has submitted personal information, that parent or guardian should contact us via email at care@myheartwellness.com and we will delete the child’s information from our records.

13. Changes to Our Privacy Notice

The Company reserves the right to change this Privacy Notice, without notice, at its own discretion. When we do, we will post the changes to this Privacy Notice on the Site and update the Effective Date at the top of this page. The changes will apply to the use of the Site after such notice. We will notify you any material changes by an announcement on the Site’s home page or using the email address you have provided upon registration. It is incumbent upon you to review the Privacy Notice thereafter to become aware of the changes, revisions, or modifications.

Where permitted by law, if you use the Site after the date on which the changes come into effect, you will be deemed to have accepted the Privacy Notice as modified. Please be assured that we will always handle your Personal Information in accordance with the Privacy Notice that was in effect at the time of collection except as may be required by law.
