By creating an account on the halio platform, either directly or through a Licensee, you agree to this Data Protection Policy. This policy defines the role of the Data Controller (you, the Company/Licensee) and the Data Processor (halio), outlining how personal data is processed and protected.
halio implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of personal data, in line with Article 32 of GDPR. These measures are designed to protect against unauthorised access, data breaches, and other risks associated with personal data processing.
The Company or Licensee authorises halio to engage Subprocessors for the processing of personal data. Any Subprocessors used by halio will be required to adhere to the same data protection standards set forth in this policy and will be subject to a written agreement in accordance with Article 28 of GDPR.
As the Data Controller, the Company or Licensee is responsible for responding to requests from Data Subjects (i.e., their users or End Users) who wish to exercise their rights under GDPR. These rights include:
halio will assist the Company or Licensee in fulfilling these obligations where necessary.
In the event of a personal data breach, halio will notify the Company or Licensee without undue delay upon becoming aware of the breach. The notification will include:
halio will cooperate with the Company or Licensee to investigate the breach and assist in notifying relevant supervisory authorities and Data Subjects where required.

Upon termination of the agreement or upon the Company or Licensee’s instruction, halio will either delete or return all personal data processed on behalf of the Data Controller. If the Data Controller does not specify a preference, halio will delete all personal data within 10 business days, unless retention is required by law.
halio shall make available all necessary information to demonstrate compliance with this Data Protection Policy and will allow the Company or Licensee, or an appointed auditor, to conduct audits. These audits must be conducted in accordance with GDPR and will be restricted to assessing the processing of personal data in relation to this agreement.
This agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising in connection with this agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.
