produced by the internet advertising industry which can be found at: http://www.youronlinechoices.eu
Marketing
We may use your personal data to send you updates by email about our products and/or services, including exclusive offers, promotions or new products
and/or services.
We have a legitimate interest in using your personal data for marketing purposes. This means we do not usually need your consent to send you marketing information. However, where consent is needed, we will ask for this separately and clearly.
You have the right to opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by:
• contacting us; or
• using the ‘unsubscribe’ link in emails.
We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you ask us to provide further products
and/or services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.
We will always treat your personal data with the utmost respect and never share it with other organisations outside the Getech group of companies.
Who we share your personal data with
We routinely share personal data with:
• companies within the Getech group;
• third parties we use to help deliver our products and/or services to you, eg payment service providers;
• other third parties we use to help us run our business, egprovision of IT services;
• our banks.
We only allow our service providers to handle your personal data if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal data. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers to ensure they can only use your personal data to provide services to us and to you.
We may also need to:
• share personal data with external auditors, eg in relation to the audit of our accounts;
• disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
If you would like more information about who we share our data with and why, please contact us at [email].
Where your personal data is held
Personal data may be held at our offices in Singapore and those third party service providers and representatives as described above.
Personal data may be stored anywhere in
the world, including but not limited to Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, India,
and the European Union, in the cloud, on our servers, on the servers of our
affiliates or the servers of our service providers.
How long your personal data will be kept
We will keep your personal data while you have an account with us or while we are providing products and/or services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal data for as long as is necessary:
• to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf;
• to show that we treated you fairly;
• to keep records required by law.
We will not keep your personal data for longer than necessary. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal data.
When it is no longer necessary to keep your personal data, we will delete or anonymise it.
Transferring your personal data out of the UK and EEA
To deliver services to you, it may be sometimes necessary for us to share your personal data outside the UK/EEA, eg:
• with our offices or other companies within our group located outside the UK/EEA;
• with your and our service providers located outside the UK/EEA;
• if you are based outside the UK/EEA;
• where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you.
Under data protection law, we can only transfer your personal data to a country or international organisation outside the UK/EEA where:
• the UK government or the European Commission has decided the particular country or international organisation ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy decision’);
• there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects; or
• a specific exception applies under data protection law
These are explained below.
Adequacy decision
We may transfer your personal data to certain countries, on the basis of an adequacy decision. These include:
• all European Union countries, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (collectively known as the ‘EEA’); and
• Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland and Uruguay.
The list of countries that benefit from adequacy decisions will change from time to time. We will always seek to rely on an adequacy decision, where one exists.
If the countries we are likely to transfer personal data to do not have the benefit of an adequacy decision, this does not necessarily mean they provide poor protection for personal data, but we must look at alternative grounds for transferring the personal data, such as ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place or relying on an exception, as explained below.
Transfers with appropriate safeguards
Where there is no adequacy decision, we may transfer your personal data to another country if we are satisfied the transfer complies with data protection law, appropriate safeguards are in place, and enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available for data subjects.
Transfers under an exception
In the absence of an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, we may transfer personal data to a third country where an exception applies under relevant data protection law, eg:
• you have explicitly consented to the proposed transfer after having been informed of the possible risks;
• the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between us or to take pre-contract measures at your request;
• the transfer is necessary for a contract in your interests, between us and another person; or
• the transfer is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims
We may also transfer information for the purpose of our compelling legitimate interests, so long as those interests are not overridden by your interests, rights and freedoms. Specific conditions apply to such transfers and we will provide relevant information if and when we seek to transfer your personal data on this ground.
Children’s Privacy
Our services do not address anyone under the age of 18 (“Children”).
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we discover that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our servers immediately.
Further information
If you would like further information about where data is transferred please contact us at [email].
