For example, we may collect data on the number of users accessing a specific website feature. If we combine Aggregated Data with your personal data, we will treat the combined data as personal data in accordance with this privacy notice.

 

We are committed to protecting your personal data and only use it for legitimate business purposes.

You also have the right to make a complaint to the relevant data protection authority at any time.

 

3. COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We collect your personal data through various means:

Direct interactions: You may give us your Identity, Contact, and Financial Data by filling in forms or corresponding with us by post, phone, email, or other means. This may include personal data you provide when you apply for our products or services, create an account on our website, subscribe to our service or publications, request marketing, or give us feedback.

When it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

When we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

We generally do not rely on your consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data unless it relates to third-party direct marketing communications sent to you via email or text message.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have the following rights:

• 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 and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
•  
• 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, although 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 to continue processing 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 for erasure for specific legal reasons, which we will notify you of, if applicable, at the time of your request.
•  
• Object to the 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 that makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on 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: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) 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; or (d) 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
