Whenever such transfer occurs, it is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (according to EU Commission Decision 87/2010/EC or any future replacement) in order to contractually provide that your Personal Data is subject to a level of data protection that applies within the EEA.

In the following cases MANTHAN will only use your Personal Data as further detailed below after you have granted your prior consent into the relevant processing operations.
News about MANTHAN’s Products and Services. Subject to a respective provision and your consent, MANTHAN may use your name, email and postal address, telephone number, job title and basic information about your employer (name, address, and industry) as well as an interaction profile based on prior interactions with MANTHAN (prior purchases, participation in webinars, seminars, or events or the use of (web) services) in order to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, software updates, software upgrades, special offers, and other information about MANTHAN’s software and services (including marketing-related newsletters) as well as events of MANTHAN and in order to display relevant content on MANTHAN’s websites. In connection with these marketing-related activities, MANTHAN may provide a hashed user ID to third party operated social networks or other web offerings (such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or Google) where this information is then matched against the social networks’ data or the web offerings’ own data bases in order to display to you more relevant information.
Creating user profiles. MANTHAN offers you the option to use its web offerings including forums, blogs, and networks (such as the MANTHAN Community) linked to this website that require you to register and create a user profile. User profiles provide the option to display personal information about you to other users, including but not limited to your name, photo, social media accounts, postal or email address, or both, telephone number, personal interests, skills, and basic information about your company.
These profiles may relate to a single web offering of MANTHAN or, if created in the MANTHAN Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Service, may also allow you to access other web offerings of MANTHAN or of other entities of the MANTHAN Group, or both (irrespective of any consent granted under the section “Forwarding your Personal Data to other MANTHAN companies.” below). It is, however, always your choice which of these additional web offerings you use and your Personal Data is only forwarded to them once you initially access them. Kindly note that without your consent for MANTHAN to create such user profiles MANTHAN will not be in a position to offer such services to you where your consent is a statutory requirement that MANTHAN can provide these services to you.
Within any web offering, beyond the mere provision of access your profile is used to personalize interaction with other users (for example, by way of messaging or follow functionality) and by MANTHAN to foster the quality of communication and collaboration through such offerings and for MANTHAN to provide gamification elements (gamification is the process of taking something that already exists, such as a website, an enterprise application, or an online community, and integrating game mechanics into it to motivate participation, engagement, and loyalty). To the greatest extent supported by the relevant web offering, you can use the functionality of the relevant web offering to determine which information you want to share.
Event profiling. If you register for an event, seminar, or webinar of MANTHAN, MANTHAN may share basic participant information (your name, company, and email address) with other participants of the same event, seminar, or webinar for the purpose of communication and the exchange of ideas.
Forwarding your Personal Data to other MANTHAN companies. MANTHAN may transfer your Personal Data to other entities in the MANTHAN Group. In such cases, these entities will then use the Personal Data for the same purposes and under the same conditions as outlined in this Section C. above
Forwarding your Personal Data to our marketing partners. MANTHAN may, with your prior consent, share your Personal Data with our marketing partners to enable them to reach out to you for relevant marketing products and/or services that you may be interested in. For example, our marketing partners may reach out to you for programmes to improve customer satisfaction, performing market research, providing value added services, for regional support of services, or to organize MANTHAN events. MANTHAN will not, at any time, sell your Personal Data to any third party.
Revocation of a consent granted hereunder. You may at any time withdraw a consent granted hereunder by unsubscribing at https://www.manthan.com/unsubscribe. In case of withdrawal, MANTHAN will not process Personal Data subject to this consent any longer unless legally required to do so. In case MANTHAN is required to retain your Personal Data for legal reasons your Personal Data will be restricted from further processing and only retained for the term required by law. However, any withdrawal has no effect on past processing of personal data by MANTHAN up to the point in time of your withdrawal. Furthermore, if your use of an MANTHAN offering requires your prior consent, MANTHAN will not be (any longer) able to provide the relevant service (or services, if you revoke the consent for MANTHAN to use your profile under the MANTHAN Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Service for multiple MANTHAN offerings), offer or event to you after your revocation.
How does Manthan protect your Personal Data
MANTHAN implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of our processing of your Personal Data such as (i) only sharing and providing access to your information to the minimum extent necessary, subject to confidentiality restrictions where appropriate, and on an anonymized basis wherever possible; (ii) using secure servers to store your information; and (iii) using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software or other similar encryption technologies to encrypt any payment transactions you make on or via our website.

However, as effective as encryption technology is, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won’t be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet or wireless communication and any information you transmit to MANTHAN you do at your own risk. If, despite our best efforts, an unauthorised breach of our security measures occurs, resulting in the unauthorised access, duplication, removal or alteration of any Personal Data, subject to applicable law, MANTHAN, its directors, officers, employees, promoters, or affiliates will not be held responsible for any loss resulting from such unforeseen breach.
