Definitions of certain terms (including but not limited to Data Subject, Personal Data, Processing, Legal Basis, Data Processor, Data Controller) within this notice are defined under Article 4 of the European General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) which will also apply to UK residents under the UK Data Protection Act of 2018 (UK GDPR) found here: GDPR Definitions.

If you are from the European Union (EU) or United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using your Personal Data described above will depend on the Personal Data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. This notice provides mandatory information as required under Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR regarding the transparency of data processing of your Personal Data as the Data Subject.

Creative Group will act as a Data Processor where your employer is our client acting as Data Controller. Under written contract, the Data Controller will pass Personal Data of their employees to Creative Group to manage and process employee travel arrangements in connection with their business. It is this contract which forms the ‘Legal Basis’ for the processing of Personal Data carried out by Creative Group in these circumstances.

Creative Group will become a Data Controller if it collects additional Personal Data directly from you only where we have your consent to do so, and where we need the Personal Data to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect the Personal Data in question.

If we ask you to provide Personal Data to comply with a legal requirement or enter into a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your Personal Data is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your Personal Data).

Similarly, if we collect and use your Personal Data in reliance on our or a third party’s legitimate interests and those interests are not already listed above (see “Information We Use” section), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

Creative Group acts as a Data Controller for any Personal Data held regarding its own employees, and legally processes this data under its Contract of Employment with those Data Subjects.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your Personal Data, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contact Us” section below.

Your Privacy Rights as a Resident in Canada

Privacy rights in Canada are protected under the Personal information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) (“PIPEDA”). Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec have provincial privacy laws that may apply in place of PIPEDA. The Personal Information Protection Act is Alberta’s private-sector privacy law. Similarly, for residents of British Columbia, the BC Personal Information Protection Act will apply. In Quebec, your rights are governed by and protected under the Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in The Private Sector. Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia have health-related privacy laws that have been declared substantially similar to PIDEDA and will apply with respect to health information for residents in those provinces.

You have the right to request access to and to correct the personal information that we hold about you. To request access or correct your personal information, you may contact us at the coordinates provided in the “Contact Us” section of this Notice. Your right to access or correct your personal information is subject to applicable legal restrictions. Upon request, we will provide you with access to your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, in compliance with applicable laws. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections. If we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions or requirements

Please note that, in order to better safeguard your privacy and the privacy of others, we may (to the extent permitted — and/or required — by applicable law/regulation) ask you to provide additional information to verify your identity and/or residency before processing any data-related requests. We strive to respond to a verifiable consumer request in a prompt manner. If we require additional time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding a verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests and for compliance with state privacy laws, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, specifically by electronic mail communication.

There is no charge for making privacy-related requests or responding to your verifiable consumer requests unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will inform you of our decision and why, and provide you with a cost estimate for you to consent to before completing your request.

DATA RETENTION

We will retain your personal information/Personal Data for no longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information was originally collected unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, for legal, tax or regulatory reasons, or other legitimate and lawful business purposes.

Where we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information/Personal Data, we will either delete, aggregate, or otherwise anonymize it.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Your personal information/Personal Data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. Specifically, information collected outside the United States, including in the EU may be transferred to and stored on our servers in the United States, Canada, and potentially in other countries where our group of companies and third-party service providers and partners operate. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws in your country (and in some cases, may not be as protective). When your personal information/Personal Data is used or stored in a jurisdiction other than where you are residing, it may be subject to the law of that foreign jurisdiction, including any law permitting or requiring disclosure of personal information/Personal Data to the government, government agencies, courts and law enforcement in that jurisdiction.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Notice and applicable laws. For example, with respect to personal information originating from the EU, UK, and Switzerland, Creative Group has self-certified to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework which can be verified here.

Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Data Privacy Framework website, you may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.

EU-US/Swiss-US and UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Frameworks

In compliance with the Data Privacy Framework, Creative Group commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of your Personal Data. EU, UK, and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our Data Privacy Framework policy should first contact Creative Group at:

Creative Group
Attn: Legal Team
200 N. Martingale Rd. Suite 600
Schaumburg, IL 60173

Creative Group has further committed to cooperate with the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs), the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) and the UK Information Commissioners Office (ICO) with regard to unresolved Data Privacy Framework complaints concerning data transferred from the EU, Switzerland, and UK.

Creative Group complies with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, and the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Data transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States, respectively.

Creative Group has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Data Privacy Framework. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Data Privacy Framework, the Data Privacy Framework shall govern.

Creative Group commits to all Personal Data transferred from the EU, Switzerland, and UK to the US to be subject to the principles of the Data Privacy Framework. Creative Group only receives Personal Data for the purpose of arranging travel-related services, and will not use this data for any other purpose. The types of Personal Data collected may include mandatory items such as passport data, contact information, and methods of payment. This list is not exhaustive. That Personal Data will at all times be kept secure, and Creative Group will take responsibility and appropriate measures to protect it from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Personal Data will only be onward transferred to third parties who are directly involved in fulfillment of travel arrangements for our travelers, and for that specific purpose only. These will include (but are not limited to) airlines, hotels, and global distribution systems. This data will be kept securely by the third party. Creative Group commits to fully comply and be liable with the ‘Accountability for Onward Transfer’ Principal in the Data Privacy Framework in as far as the Personal Data transfer applies as required by applicable law.

Individuals have the right to access their own Personal Data with the ability to have that data corrected or deleted, or limiting its use or its disclosure. An individual may also elect not to have their Personal Data transferred to one or more third parties, or processed for a specific purpose, but it may severely limit or prevent travel arrangements being made on their behalf in such circumstance. That application must be made in writing to the address above.

Creative Group acknowledges the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Department of Transportation (DoT), or any other US authorized statutory body in relation to the Data Privacy Framework, and the requirements to disclose Personal Data in response to a lawful request by any public authority, or to meet national security or law enforcement requirements in the United States. Creative Group commits to making public any order from the DoT or a court relating to any non-conformance to the principles of the Data Privacy Framework.

Creative Group will utilize the external services of the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner’s Office, or EU Data Protection Authorities for free dispute resolution arising from the processing of Personal Data under the Data Privacy Framework. It may be possible for an individual to invoke binding arbitration in certain circumstances if agreed with the Commissioner’s Office.

Creative Group will conduct internal audits to ensure that the policy statements made above remain true and accurate, and that they have been implemented in accordance to the Data Privacy Framework.
