How We Share Personal Data

CAMPUS may share personal data with third parties for service provision or legal requirements, with your consent where applicable.

Security of Your Data

Carmpus has implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security to protect personal data from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized McKinsey personnel and third party service providers are provided access to personal data, and these employees and service providers are required to treat this information as confidential. Despite these precautions however, McKinsey cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personal data.

The GDPR also covers the transfer of personal data to non-EU countries and international organizations. The European Commission is in charge of assessing the level of protection given by a territory or processing sector in a non-EU country. Where the Commission has not taken an adequate decision on territory or sector, transfer of personal data may still take place in particular cases or when there are appropriate safeguards in place.

Rights of individuals

Infographic - Data Protection Regulation

The GDPR lists the rights of the data subject, meaning the rights of the individuals whose personal data is being processed. These strengthened rights give individuals more control over their personal data, including through:

  1. Clear Consent: The need for an individual's clear consent to the processing of his or her personal data
  2. Easier Access: Easier access for the data subject to his or her personal data
  3. Right to Rectification, Erasure, and 'To Be Forgotten': The right to rectification, to erasure, and 'to be forgotten'
  4. Right to Object: The right to object, including to the use of personal data for the purpose of profiling.
  5. Data Portability: The right to data portability from one service provider to another

The regulation also lays down the obligation for controllers (those who are responsible for the processing of data) to provide transparent and easily accessible information to individuals on the processing of their data.

Obligations for businesses and organizations

The GDPR establishes the general obligations of data controllers and of those processing personal data on their behalf (processors). These include the obligation to implement appropriate security measures, according to the risk involved in the data processing operations they perform. Controllers are also required in certain cases to provide notification of personal data breaches. All public authorities and those companies that perform certain risky data processing operations will also need to appoint a data protection officer.

Application of data protection rules

The regulation confirms the existing obligation for member states to establish an independent supervisory authority at national level and establishes a mechanism to create consistency in the application of data protection law across the EU. The GDPR establishes that a single supervisory decision is taken in cross-border cases where several national supervisory authorities are involved. This principle, known as the 'one-stop-shop' principle, means that a company with subsidiaries in several member states will only have to deal with the data protection authority in the member state of its main establishment. The European Data Protection Board makes sure that the GDPR is fully applied. This board consists of representatives of all 27 independent supervisory authorities. Individuals can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority and have the right to judicial remedy and compensation. They have the right to have a decision by their data protection authority reviewed by their national court, irrespective of the member state in which the data controller concerned is established. Severe sanctions are provided for against controllers or processors who violate data protection rules. Data controllers can face fines of up to €20 million or 4% of their global annual turnover.

Transfers to non-EU countries

The GDPR also covers the transfer of personal data to non-EU countries and international organizations. The European Commission is in charge of assessing the level of protection given by a territory or processing sector in a non-EU country. Where the Commission has not taken an adequate decision on territory or sector, transfer of personal data may still take place in particular cases or when there are appropriate safeguards in place.

California & Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Under some U.S. state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended by the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act) (CCPA), residents may have a right to:

  • Access the categories and specific pieces of personal data Carmpus has collected, the categories of sources from which the personal data is collected, the business purpose(s) for collecting the personal data, and the categories of third parties with whom Carmpus has shared personal data
  • Delete personal data under certain circumstances
  • Correct personal data under certain circumstances
  • Opt out of the "sale" of personal data or "sharing" of personal data for targeted advertising purposes. We do not sell your personal data in the conventional sense. However, like many companies, we may use advertising and analytics services that are intended to analyze your interactions with our website or app, based on information obtained from cookies or other trackers, including for delivering advertising to you (such as interest-based, targeted, or cross-context behavioral advertising). You can get more information and opt out of the use of cookies and other trackers on our website and app by clicking the Do Not Sell My Personal Information link, also on our homepage, and setting your preferences. You will need to set your preferences from each device and each web browser from which you wish to opt out. This feature uses a cookie to remember your preference, so if you clear all cookies from your browser, you will need to re-select your preferred settings. California residents may also set the Global Privacy Control (GPC) to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information for each participating browser system that you use. Carmpus does not have actual knowledge that it "sells" or "shares" the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
  • Appeal a denial of your request. Some states provide additional rights to their residents. If we decline to process your request, you may have the right to appeal our decision.
