8. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Technologies

Odyssey Advance may provide functionality that uses artificial intelligence, machine learning or other automated technologies.

Where you choose to use such functionality, information submitted through the relevant feature may be processed to provide the requested output or functionality.

Depending upon how the feature operates, third-party technology providers may process information on our behalf.

We take appropriate steps to assess providers and implement contractual and technical safeguards where personal data may be processed.

You should avoid submitting unnecessary personal data, confidential information or sensitive personal data to AI functionality unless the relevant feature is specifically intended and authorised for that purpose.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Odyssey Advance does not use solely automated decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning individuals.

 

9. International Transfers

Some of the technology and service providers used to operate Odyssey Advance may process personal data outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure the transfer complies with applicable data protection law.

Depending upon the destination and circumstances, these safeguards may include:

  • transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of protection;
  • appropriate contractual safeguards;
  • the UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
  • the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses; or
  • another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

Where appropriate, additional technical and organisational safeguards may also be applied.

 

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, contractual, security and reporting requirements.

Retention periods vary depending upon the nature of the information and why we process it.

When determining an appropriate retention period, we may consider:

  • the nature and sensitivity of the personal data;
  • the purpose for which it is processed;
  • the duration of the customer relationship;
  • applicable legal and regulatory requirements;
  • security and fraud-prevention requirements; and
  • whether the information is required to establish or defend legal claims.

When personal data is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or otherwise securely dispose of it where reasonably practicable and subject to applicable legal requirements.

 

11. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.

These measures may include, where appropriate:

  • access controls;
  • authentication measures;
  • encryption;
  • secure infrastructure;
  • monitoring;
  • backups;
  • software security measures;
  • internal access restrictions; and
  • appropriate procedures for responding to security incidents.

Although we take reasonable precautions, no internet-based service or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for keeping your Odyssey Advance login credentials secure and should notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

 

12. Your Data Protection Rights

To exercise your rights in relation to personal data for which Odyssey New Media Limited is the controller, please contact us through our Contact page.

We may need to request information from you to confirm your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

You can ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time.

You may do this by:

  • using the unsubscribe link contained within marketing emails; or
  • contacting us through our Contact Us page.

Opting out of marketing communications will not prevent us from sending essential communications relating to your account, subscription, security or use of the Services.

 

14. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website and Services may contain links to, or integrations with, websites and services operated by third parties.

Odyssey Advance does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

Where you leave our website, connect an external account or interact directly with a third-party service, we recommend reviewing the privacy policy provided by the relevant organisation.

Odyssey Advance is a business-focused digital marketing platform and is not intended for children.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an Odyssey Advance account.
