We may also provide this information to an agent acting on MRI’s behalf in connection with the activities described above, if permitted under law.

Lawful Basis for Using the Data 

We have a number of legal basis for processing personal information, based on the particular for which the personal information was provided.  Primarily, the legal basis is consent.  Your continued use of the Site provides consent for such processing.  Your consent may be revoked at any time, subject to applicable provisions of the law.

Additional lawful bases for processing are:

The legitimate basis for processing personal information in relation to site security is our legitimate interests, and the legitimate interests of our users, as well as ensuring the security and integrity of our Sites.

The legitimate basis for processing personal information with respect to the Site is our legitimate interest of providing the website and ancillary services, conducting marketing activities, building and maintaining prospect and customer relationships (including You), improving the website and its content, but only to the extent that our legitimate interest is not overridden by the user’s fundamental rights and freedoms and data protection interests.

 

The legal basis for processing your personal information with respect to portions of our Site which are restricted by user credentials is that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a participant.

The legal basis for processing your personal information when you apply for a job at an MRI company is that which relates to processing necessary to perform a contract or to take steps at your request, before entering a contract. Some of the information you provide during a job application is regulated by law and therefore those portions of personal information is processed under the legal basis of MRI complying with our legal obligations.  Where criminal and background information is processed in relation to a job application, we rely on the legal basis of performing a public task as well as protecting our legitimate interests.

How long do we keep your data

If you are an employee or customer of a client of MRI’s, accessing portions of the Sites which are restricted by user credentials, then your data will be kept until the earlier of: (i) twelve months following the end of the contractual relationship with the client or MRI; (ii) twelve months following the date on which the user or client removes the personal information; or (iii) a verified erasure request, which is not subject to an exception for not erasing the data.  For all personal information not related to employment or providing contracted services to your organisation, we will retain until two (2) years following the latest date of activity.

What do we do with your data

We have offices all over the world, which work together to provide top of the line services to our customers.  As such, some of your personal information may be transferred to MRI’s employees and agents overseas.  Each MRI office and MRI employee are required to meet the same security standards as the other offices and employees.  All transfers of personal information overseas shall be done after assurance of meeting such security standards and in accordance with applicable laws related to such transfer.  A full list of postal addresses for MRI can be found here.  For more information on the lawful basis for the transfer of Personal Data, please see the Lawful Basis for Transferring your Data section below.

MRI will occasionally hire other companies, which use cookies, to provide limited services on our behalf, such as packaging, sending, and delivering purchases and other mailings; answering customer questions about products or services; processing event registration; or performing statistical analysis of our services.  MRI will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service and shall be subject to all applicable laws related to such transfer.  These subprocessors are here.

Except as described above, MRI will not sell, rent, or in any way intentionally disclose personal information that you provide to us on this Site to any third party (other than an agent acting on our behalf as described above), unless: (a) MRI is required to do so by law, regulation, warrant, subpoena or court order, (b) MRI is required in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of MRI  employees, users of MRI products or services, or members of the public, or to enforce provisions of the Terms of Use; or (c) such disclosure is part of a sale or transfer of all (or substantially all) of the assets or stock of MRI  or one or more divisions or affiliates of MRI.

Lawful Basis for Transferring your Data

As a participating organization in the EU-US Department of Commerce’s Data Privacy Framework (“EU DPF”), the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (“UK DPF”), and/or the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework (“Swiss DPF”) (collectively, “DPF”), MRI is committed to complying with the DPF Principles of: notice; choice; accountability for onward transfer; security; data integrity and purpose limitation; access; and recourse, enforcement and liability. Individual complaints brought under the DPF Principles may be filed with JAMS via this link. MRI’s Data Privacy Framework Program Policy can be found here.

While MRI does adhere to the DPF established between the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission with respect to personal information that is transferred from the European Economic Area to the United States, MRI does not rely on the DPF alone for adequacy of its transfer.  Transfer of personal information to third countries is based on the appropriate standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission.  MRI has also entered into Standard Contractual Clauses and the relevant UK Addendum with each of its affiliated companies by way of an intracompany agreement.

Bulletin Boards and Chat Rooms

From time to time, portions of this Site may allow you to post information which other visitors to this Site will be able to access (such as on a “bulletin board” or during an interactive “chat” with other visitors). In the event that you choose to post information in this context, it becomes generally available to the public, and we have no ability to control or limit its use by visitors to our site. By posting the information on this Site you are providing MRI and its affiliates the right to use the information in connection with the operation of MRI’s business. Therefore, we encourage you not to post any information you consider private or sensitive on this Site.

Children’s Privacy

MRI’s Site, software and services do not target, and are not structured to attract, children under the age of 13. MRI does not collect any registration information from users who indicate they are under the age of 13. If MRI discovers personal information from a child, MRI will eliminate that data.  We will not share the personal information of any person who we know is under the age of 16 without express, valid authorisation.

Security of Information

To protect the privacy of personal information provided by you, MRI employs reasonable and adequate security measures, including industry-standard controls such as physical access controls, Internet firewalls, intrusion detection, and network monitoring. Additionally, only authorised administrators and staff have access to systems containing such information. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal information when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.
