APPENDIX A – EU/UK NOTICE
This Appendix applies when the processing of your personal information is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the UK Data Protection Act 2018, for instance, because it is handled by an Ivanhoé Cambridge entity located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, or because you are located in a Member State of the European Union or in the United Kingdom.
What are the legal bases upon which we rely to process your personal information?
We may rely on the following legal basis to process your personal information:
- Where it is necessary to enter into or to perform obligations under a contract (for example, when you enter into a lease agreement with us);
- when this is necessary for our legitimate interests or for the legitimate interests of a third party (for example, to ensure the security of our buildings, our staff and our property, to prevent fraud or to guarantee the security of our network and our computer systems);
- Where you have given IC your consent (for example, when you subscribe to our marketing and commercial electronic messages);
- Where it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations;
- Where it is necessary to protect the vital interests of an individual.
What are your rights?
In addition to the rights mentioned under the section entitled Updating and Accessing your Information, you may have the following rights:
- Right to erasure: You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information on the grounds and within the limits established by law (for example, if it is no longer required to provide our services or if you have withdrawn your consent).
- Right to object or restrict our processing: You have the right to request that IC stop processing all or some of your personal information (for instance if we use it for direct marketing purposes) or restrict its use (for example, if it is inaccurate).
- Right not to be subject to an automated decision: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing (for example, an algorithm) that is legally binding or that significantly affects you.
- Right to data portability: You have the right to ask us, if technically feasible, to transfer your personal data to a third party or to provide it to you directly in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Please note that this right is subject to certain restrictions.
- Right to withdraw your consent: Where we process your personal information on the basis of your consent (e.g., email marketing), you may withdraw your consent, for instance, by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link included in each commercial electronic communication.
Further, where French data protection law (la loi Informatique et Libertés) is applicable, you also have the right to set guidelines for the retention and disclosure of your personal information after your death.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint before the supervisory authority of the country where you are located or where the relevant Ivanhoe Cambridge entity is established as detailed in Appendix B.
How do we secure your personal information transferred outside of the European Economic Area?
When we transfer your personal information outside the European Economic Area (including the United Kingdom), we enter into contractual arrangements to ensure the adequate protection of your personal information. For example, we rely on contracts that include standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or other legal mechanisms under the GDPR to transfer personal information related to our activities in the EU and the UK to countries outside the European Economic Area that are not affected by an adequacy decision.
