Who is your Business Information disclosed to?
Business Day restricts access to Business Information to people within the company who have a “need to know” that information. As a Bulgarian company doing business across national borders and with certain shared services and resources, there are many situations where this “need to know” requires your information to be transferred to Business Day in another country, including countries that may provide no legal protection for Personal Information. However, the purpose of the Business Day Data Privacy Policy is to ensure protection for your Business Information in every country where Business Day does business.
Generally, Business Day will only disclose your Business Information outside Business Day and its Third Party Service Providers:
- when required to do so by law; ?
- where necessary to engage a new Third Party Service Provider; ?
- in response to a legitimate request for assistance by the police or other law enforcement agency; ?
- to protect an individual’s vital interests; ?
- to seek legal advice from Business Day’s external lawyers or in connection with litigation with a third party; ?
- in connection with the sale, purchase or merger of a business; or ?
- to engage external auditors to validate Business Day’s financial accounts; ?
- and will only do so in accordance with any applicable local laws.
