Abby Huber, Translator – Website Privacy Policy for www.ajordanhuber.com
Who am I?
My name is Abby Huber and I am a self-employed/freelance translator and interpreter. I strive to maintain compliance with Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into force on May 25, 2018.
You can contact me as follows:
-
by email at abigail.huber [@] gmail.com
-
or by telephone at +1 401 830 3250.
Why do I process your personal data?
I collect, store and use your personal data for the following purposes:
-
to issue quotes and invoices,
-
to provide a translation, interpreting, or editing service as requested by you,
-
to request an editing service from you,
-
to comply with legal requirements,
-
and (if you opt in) to add you to my email list for updates.
Personal data collected may include your name, postal address, email address, telephone number and VAT number. Personal data may also include banking details, personal information on résumés, or information on documents sent for the express purpose of translation or editing. All data is processed on password-protected computers and is not accessible by third parties.
I do not disclose or sell your data to unauthorized third parties.
Legal Grounds
The legal basis for processing your data is to perform the translation, interpretation, or editing services that you request or to take necessary steps prior to fulfilling that request (“performance of a contract”), which may involve engaging the professional services of an editor. This basis also applies if you provide me with a service.
Who else may have access to your personal data?
If I outsource a text containing personal data for editing by a colleague, I will make sure that the colleague also has responsible privacy practices and will process the document accordingly.
For administrative purposes, other parties, including the providers of my cloud backup and email hosting services, may have access to your personal data. All these parties are also compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, or in the case of US companies, are self-certified under the US Privacy Shield framework.
How long do I keep your personal data?
I need to keep your personal information for various reasons, for example to carry out accounting, invoicing and business administration processes, and in case it is necessary for me to prove, in the future, that I have carried out a particular translation, particularly in the case of certified translations.
I will keep your personal data for 15 years unless you ask me to delete or remove it sooner. You have the right to access, rectify or request erasure of your personal information, subject to any legal data retention requirements with which I have to comply. Should you ask me to delete translations before the 15-year period has expired, I cannot be held responsible for queries or claims relating to the content, as I have no way of verifying the accuracy of the original content.
I may need to disclose your personal information to authorized agencies if required by law.
How do I keep your personal data secure?
Your personal data is periodically backed up on a device other than that used on a day-to-day basis. The copy is stored in a secure place, separate from the computer containing the original files, so that personal data can be recovered in the event of loss or damage.
All electronic systems used for storing or processing personal information are password protected.
