In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time. For more information, please see our Terms of Service.

Marketing

To the extent required by law, we will obtain your express consent for our (and our third parties’) marketing purposes. We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising as seen in Opting Out below.

Promotional Offers from Us

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us, including tele-marketing correspondences where permitted by local regulations, if you have requested information from us and/or purchased products or services from our Site and have expressly consented to our marketing purposes. Similarly, you will continue to receive marketing notifications where you have been provided the opportunity to withdraw your consent or unsubscribe and you have not opted out of receiving such marketing materials.

Third-Party Marketing

We may use third-party marketing and analytics providers to assist us in the comprehensive evaluation of user demand in the market for our products and services and accordingly conduct marketing to promote the same to the public and targeted groups. This is referred to as interest-based marketing. We do not currently permit our partners to use your personal data to advertise through our Site, although we may do so in the future.

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes. Nevertheless, we do not disclose your personal data to third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

Opting Out

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of purchasing our products or services, experience or other any other transactions with us. Nor does this option apply to necessary messages, alerts and notifications sent regarding our products and services as outlined in our Terms of Service.

Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our Site may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please view our cookie policy below by clicking here.

Change of Purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

6. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Where you have provided your express consent as required by applicable laws, we may share your personal data with selected parties as set out below for the purposes addressed in the table Purposes for Which We Will Use Your Personal Data above.

  • Internal Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.
  • External Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

7. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

As an international group, our Site is available globally and subject to your express consent we may transfer your personal data to any of our internal third parties which may be located outside the data’s initial country of origin for storage and processing as necessary and permitted under this Policy.

We ensure your personal data is protected by requiring all our group of companies to follow the same rules when processing your personal data. These rules are called "binding corporate rules".

Many of our external third parties operate internationally so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside your country.

The countries to which the international transfers may be made may have different regulations which provide lesser protection than that of your country. Therefore, where we are legally authorised to transfer your personal data, we safeguard it by ensuring that a sufficient degree of protection is afforded through the implementation of at least one of the below rules:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
  • Where personal data of users in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the UK are transferred to countries outside regions which have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of personal data protection, we adopt appropriate measures to ensure that the transfer is governed by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may utilise specific contracts approved for use in the country of data processing which give your personal data adequate protection.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data.

8. DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and administrative security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. Our security safeguards will be applied depending on the nature of the data (for example, where it is in transit or at rest). You can find the full details of our security safeguards by visiting our comprehensive data security page here.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach immediately where we are legally required to do so in accordance with the applicable laws.

9. DATA RETENTION AND DISPOSAL

How Long Will You Use My Personal Data For?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider its amount, nature and sensitivity, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the length of our relationship with you (such as the period until you cease interacting with or utilising our products and services or our Site, cancel your account with us and/or terminate your subscription with us), the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, the applicable legal, regulatory, tax and accounting laws as well as other requirements. 

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data: see Your Legal Rights below for further information.

Once the purposes for which your personal data was collected have been achieved, we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you. Otherwise, where there is no longer a legitimate interest and legal basis in retaining your personal data, it will be destroyed and deleted from our data centres.

10. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. Please click on the links below to find out more about these rights:

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact our PDO. You will not be discriminated against for doing so.

No Fee Usually Required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request to the extent allowed by applicable laws if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

What We May Need From You

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time Limit to Respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it could take us longer if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

12. GLOSSARY

Lawful Basis

We strive to limit the processing of personal data to the extent you have expressly authorized us and where we have a lawful basis to do so. These lawful bases include but are not limited to the following:

Legitimate Interest means the interest of our Company in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). Legitimate interests may include monitoring, testing, improving and developing our products and services through the analysis of user data in line with our business needs; overseeing product usage and conducting safety and compliance analysis on accounts where required to safeguard public safety, us and our Site. We may also conduct automatic scans across personal data in this regard.

You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the execution of an agreement to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

Comply with a Legal Obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.

Third Parties

Internal Third Parties means other companies in our Group acting as joint processors.

External Third Parties refer to the below selected parties based in the relevant jurisdictions:

  • Service providers acting as processors who provide IT and system administration services;
  • Professional advisers acting as processors including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services;
  • Relevant regulators and authorities acting as processors who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances; and
  • Other third-party researchers, fraud prevention agencies and price comparison sites.

Your Legal Rights

Subject to local data protection laws, the right to enforce the following legal rights may be limited to you and your authorized representative, and serving us written notice may be a pre-requisite. Regardless, we may have to verify your identity to facilitate any request.

Request Access to Your Personal Data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you, its sources and to check that we are lawfully processing it. 

California-based users may request on an annual basis to see how their personal data has been shared to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the previous year under the California Civil Code Section 1798.83. Nevertheless, personal data is not shared with third parties for such purposes. Additionally, while we do not sell the personal data of Californian users, interest-based marketing may be construed locally as selling. For more information, please see Third-Party Marketing.

Request Correction of the Personal Data That We Hold About You. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. 

Request Erasure of Your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to Processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request Restriction of Processing of Your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

  • If you want us to establish the data's accuracy;
  • Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
  • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
  • You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the Transfer of Your Personal Data to You or to a Third Party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
