8.    TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

Brookfield operates globally. This means Personal Data may be processed and disclosed as described above, in any country in which we conduct business or have a service provider.

To the extent that applicable Data Protection Legislation does not allow or permit us to obtain your valid consent by virtue of providing this Notice to you, or otherwise rely on the other grounds set out in this Notice for disclosing your Personal Data outside of your jurisdiction, we will obtain your explicit consent through other means (if applicable) or, where relevant, ensure that the recipient is required to provide a standard of protection to your Personal Data that is equivalent to that under the Data Protection Legislation of your jurisdiction (e.g., by using standard contractual clauses for such international transfers).

In other circumstances, Data Protection Legislation may permit Brookfield to otherwise transfer your Personal Data outside your jurisdiction provided it is in compliance with such Data Protection Legislation.

9.    HOW WE SAFEGUARD YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Brookfield has implemented commercially reasonable controls and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data, as well as to maintain the security of our information and information systems in respect of Personal Data. Files containing Personal Data are protected with safeguards according to the sensitivity of the information contained therein. Appropriate controls (such as restricted access) are placed on our computer systems and used where appropriate. Reasonable measures are taken to ensure physical access to Personal Data is limited to authorized employees.

As a condition of employment, Brookfield employees are required to follow applicable laws and regulations, including in relation to Data Protection Legislation. Unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information by a Brookfield employee is prohibited and may result in disciplinary measures.

When you contact a Brookfield employee about your file, you may be asked to provide evidence of your identity (e.g., driver’s license or passport) and/or to confirm some details relating to the Personal Data Brookfield holds about you. These types of safeguards are designed to ensure that only you, or someone authorized by you, has access to your file.

10.    RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION OF PERSONAL DATA

The period for which Brookfield will hold your Personal Data will vary and will be determined by the following criteria:

a)    The purpose for which Brookfield is using it. Brookfield is required to retain the Personal Data for as long as is necessary to satisfy or meet the purposes for which it was obtained including applicable legal or regulatory requirements; and

b)    Legal Obligations. Laws or regulations may set a minimum period for which Brookfield must retain your Personal Data.

Depending on the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation of your jurisdiction, Brookfield will take reasonable steps in the circumstances to destroy your Personal Data when we no longer have a legal basis to retain it or to ensure that the information is anonymized.

As such, any Sensitive Personal Information that we collect does not come within this right to limit use.
     
  • Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the sale of your Personal Information to third parties and/or the sharing of your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising. As stated above, Brookfield does not sell or share any Personal Information (as such terms are defined in the CCPA).
     
  • Non-Discrimination. You have the right to not experience discriminatory treatment and we will not discriminate against you because you have exercised any California privacy rights. We do not use the fact that you have exercised or requested to exercise any CCPA rights for any purpose other than facilitating a response to your request..

Call: +1 833-68100340

Email us: PrivacyOfficer@Brookfield.com.

iii)    Verifying Your Requests. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your Personal Information or complying with your request. If we are successful in validating your identity, we will respond to your request within the time and in the manner required by the CCPA. If we are unable to verify your identity, we will need to deny your request. We reserve the right to deny requests in certain circumstances, such as where we have a reasonable belief that the request is fraudulent.

G.    Individual Verification. If you request to know, access, delete, and/or correct your Personal Information, we may require you to provide any of the following information: address, date of birth, state or country of residence, telephone number, email address, or details of a transaction. In addition, if you ask us to provide you with specific pieces of Personal Information, we may require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.

If you designate an authorized agent to make an access or deletion request on your behalf, we may require you to (1) provide the authorized agent written permission (e.g., via a notarized letter) to do so, and (2) verify your own identity directly with us (as described above), and confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

iv.    Additional California Privacy Disclosures.

A.    Do Not Track Signals. Your browser and other mechanisms may permit you to send do-not-track signals or other similar signals via your browser settings to express your preferences regarding online tracking.
