YETI SELF STORAGE may share personal data with third-party providers based on the legitimate interest of YETI SELF STORAGE and/or receive information from other sources and combine it with the information that YETI SELF STORAGE collects through its services:

 

  • YETI SELF STORAGE uses third-party services that may be co-branded, but will do so with clear notice. Third-party services may collect information as stipulated by their own privacy policies;
  • YETI SELF STORAGE may collect information about the user from a third party. When the User uses or connects to the Website by or through such a third-party platform, the User allows YETI SELF STORAGE to access and/or collect certain information from the profile/account of the third-party services, as permitted by the terms of service and the User’s privacy settings with the third-party platform;

If the processing of personal data by YETI SELF STORAGE is fully or partially outsourced to a third party, this will be done pursuant to an appropriate processing agreement/processing agreement in which the purpose of the processing is laid down and agreements are made about the level of technical and organizational measures.

 

The User agrees that YETI SELF STORAGE may engage its partners and any sub-processors to process personal data in accordance with data protection laws. The User expressly authorizes YETI SELF STORAGE to appoint sub-processors to carry out the processing activities that are the subject of the agreement/relationship between the User and YETI SELF STORAGE. YETI SELF STORAGE will enter into a (sub)processor agreement or other legal act with these sub-processors. The details of each sub-processor used in the order will be provided to the User upon request. The User may object – on reasonable grounds relating to a possible or actual violation of EU data protection law – to the use of a sub-processor by YETI SELF STORAGE by notifying YETI SELF STORAGE in writing of the grounds of the User’s objection as soon as possible, but no later than ten (10) days after the notification of YETI SELF STORAGE. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to address the User’s objection. If YETI SELF STORAGE decides to retain the sub-processor, it will notify the User upon reasonable notice and the User shall have the right to terminate the portion of the services to which the sub-processing relates. The User acknowledges that objection and change of sub-processor may affect the provision of the services for which YETI SELF STORAGE is not responsible.

 

The User’s personal data may be transferred, whether anonymized or not, to recipients such as sub-processors located in third countries (outside the European Economic Area (EEA)) that may have less protective rules for the protection of personal data than the rules in the User’s country.

The User expressly authorizes YETI SELF STORAGE to carry out international data transfers of customers’ personal data, whether anonymized or not, based on appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU data protection law. If YETI SELF STORAGE’s compliance with the data protection laws applicable to international data transfers of User’s personal data is affected by circumstances beyond the control of YETI SELF STORAGE, including if any legal instrument for such transfers is invalidated, amended, or superseded, then the parties shall cooperate in good faith to reasonably resolve such non-compliance.

  • Accountant;
  • IT vendors;
  • Public authorities;
  • Insurers;

The User’s Personal Data will be kept in general terms for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes described in this document or until the User has requested its deletion or cessation of use.

The User shall indemnify YETI SELF STORAGE against any and all costs, expenses (including legal fees), indemnities, losses (including loss of business or profits), debts, demands, claims, proceedings, legal proceedings, etc., of which YETI SELF STORAGE may be the subject of: (i) the execution by YETI SELF STORAGE of the Customer’s instructions in connection with the processing of personal data (including instructions in connection with requests from individuals exercising their rights under data protection law and instructions to retain, disclose, modify or otherwise process personal data), or (ii) any breach by the User of these terms.

 

The liability of YETI SELF STORAGE is always limited to the cases specifically provided for by law.
