13. Transfer of Personal Data
As CellarPass provides services internationally, we may need to transfer your Personal Data outside the country from which it was originally provided. This may be to Businesses using the Services, or to Third Parties that we work with who may be located jurisdictions outside the EEA, Switzerland and the IK which have no data protection laws or laws that are not as rigid compared with those in Europe.
Whenever we transfer Personal Data outside of the EEA, Switzerland or the UK, we take legally required steps to make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your Personal Data. For Personal Data we receive, CellarPass has certified its compliance to the EU-U.S. and Swiss – U.S. Privacy Shield as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal data transferred from those countries. We have certified that we adhere to the Privacy Shield principals of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfers, Security, Data Integrity & Purpose Limitation, Access and Resource, Enforcement & Liability when processing Personal Data from EEA, Switzerland or the UK in the United States.

If you have an account with us, we will retain your Personal Data for ninety (90) days after you have requested your account closed or if your account has been inactive for three (3) years.
Data protection law provides you with rights in respect of Personal Data that we hold about you, including the right to request a copy of the Personal Data, request that we rectify, restrict or delete your Personal Data, object to profiling and unsubscribe from marketing communications.

CellarPass as a data controller and data processor EU data protection law makes a distinction between organizations that process Personal Data for their own purposes (known at “data controllers”) and organizations that process Personal Data on behalf of other organizations (known as “data processors”). If you have a question or complaint about how your Personal Data is handled, these should always be directed to the relevant organization since they are the ones with primary responsibility for your Personal Data.
CellarPass may act as either a data controller or a data processor in respect of your Personal Data, depending on the circumstances.
For example, if you generate a subscription account with us to manage your activities or events, CellarPass will be a data controller in respect to the Personal Data that you provide as part of your account. We will also be a data controller of the Personal Data that we have obtained about the use of the CellarPass Services, which could relate to Businesses or Guests. We use this to conduct research and analysis to help better understand and serve Users of the Services as well as to improve our platform and provide you with targeted recommendations about activities or events we think may be of interest to you.
However, if you register as a Guest, we will process your Personal Data to help administer that activity or event on behalf of the Business (for example: sending confirmation, promotional and feedback emails, processing payments, etc..) and to help the Business manage their event, understand the success of their event and event planning such as through event reports, guest lists, using analytics to determine effectiveness of various sales channels. In these scenarios, CellarPass just provides tools for Businesses; CellarPass does not decide what Personal Data to request on registration forms, nor is it responsible for the continued accuracy of any Personal Data provided. Questions you may have about your Personal Data and your rights under data protection law should therefore be directed to the Business as the data controller, not to CellarPass.
15. California Residents Only
The California Supplemental Privacy Notice discusses California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and applies solely to California residents. It applies to personal data we collect as a business; it does not apply to personal data we collect or otherwise process as a service provider. For or a detailed copy, please view our CCPA Policy.
