  4. International transfers of personal data

    5. Stellar Sports and Stellar Football are part of the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) global group of companies, headquarted in the US. As a result, we may share your personal data with other companies in our group as well as with external third parties in connection with the running of our business, including to enable us to comply with our legal obligations.

    Some of these group companies, such as our ultimate parent company, Creative Artists Agency LLC, located in the US, are located outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA), in third countries which may not provide the same level of data protection as required by the UK GDPR or within the EEA. Stellar Sports and Stellar Football are both parties to the CAA Intra-Group Data Sharing Agreements which contain EU Standard Contractual Clauses, alongside UK and Swiss Addendums to protect personal data when it is transferred from CAA group companies based in the UK, EU and Switzerland to CAA group companies located outside of the UK/EEA.

    Transfers of personal data by Stellar Sports or Stellar Football to third parties located in other third countries outside the UK and EEA will take place using a lawful data transfer mechanism, such as the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”)’s International Data Transfer Agreement or the ICO’s UK Addendum and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or by adherence to approved Codes of Conduct.

    Alternatively, international data transfers may be made on the basis of permissible statutory derogations, or any other relevant data transfer clauses issued by the UK Secretary of State or the UK Information Commissioner (and approved by the UK Parliament). 

    Please contact us using the contact details in section 10, if you want to receive further information or, where available, a copy of the relevant data transfer mechanism, including the CAA Intra-Group Data Sharing Agreements.

    We may also retain your personal data after the termination of our relationship, if it is necessary to comply with applicable laws or surviving contractual provisions, or if it is relevant to establishing, exercising or defending a legal claim.

    If you would like to know more about the retention periods applicable to your personal data, you can contact us using details provided in section 10 below.

  6. What if you provide us with someone else’s personal data?

    7. In certain circumstances, you might provide us with another person’s personal data. In these cases, we require you to please inform that person about this in advance, including what data you intend to provide to us and for what purposes. Please provide them with a link to, or a copy of, this privacy notice and our contact details and let them know that they should contact us if they have any additional questions about how we will use their personal data.

  7. Your data protection rights

    8. Under the UK GDPR, you may be able to exercise the following rights against Stellar Sports and/or Stellar Football (as applicable) regarding your personal data:

    Access

    You have the right to obtain confirmation from us of whether we are processing your personal data, transparency information related to that processing, as well as the right to obtain a copy of your personal data undergoing the processing. 

    Rectification

    You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data and to have incomplete data completed. 

    Objection

    Where we process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to this processing for reasons relating to your particular situation. If this is the case, we will stop this processing of your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons why we need to process it, which override your rights and freedoms or where we need to process it for the purposes of legal claims. Where we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the absolute right to object to our processing of your personal data for this at any time. 

    Portability

    You may have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to right to transmit it to other data controllers. This right only exists if our processing of the data is based on your consent or a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means.

    Restriction

    You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain cases, including, for example, where you object to us processing your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests or where you want to establish the accuracy or the reason we are processing your personal data. Where you successfully exercise your right to restrict processing, this means that we must suspend the processing, except for storage, with your consent or for legal claims.

    Erasure

    You may request that we erase your personal data if (i) it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we have collected it, (ii) you have withdrawn your consent and no other legal ground for the processing exists, (iii) you object to our processing and no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing exist, (iv) the processing is unlawful, or erasure is required to comply with a legal obligation.

    Right to lodge a complaint

    You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. This is the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK, but we would ask that you get in touch with us in the first instance so that we can try to resolve your issue.

    Right to refuse or withdraw consent

    If we ask for your consent to process your personal data, you are free to refuse and you can withdraw your consent at any time without any adverse negative consequences.  The lawfulness of any processing of your personal data that occurred prior to the withdrawal of your consent will not be affected.

    Please be aware that not all of these rights are absolute and that there may be situations in which you cannot exercise them or where they are not relevant in the circumstances.
