Grounds for Data Collection

Processing of your personal information (meaning any information which may potentially allow your identification with reasonable means; hereinafter “Personal Information”) is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations towards you and providing you with our services, to protect our legitimate interests, and for compliance with legal and financial regulatory obligations to which we are subject.

Cookies

We and our trusted partners use cookies and other technologies in our related services, including when you visit our Site or access our services.

A “cookie” is a small piece of information that a website assigns to your device while you are viewing a website.

Cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

Helping you navigate efficiently between pages
Automatically activating certain features
Remembering your preferences
Making interactions with our services quicker and easier
Helping ensure advertisements are relevant to you and your interests
Compiling statistical information about the use of our services

Types of Cookies We Use

Session Cookies
These are stored temporarily during a browsing session to allow normal use of the system and are deleted from your device when your browser is closed.

Persistent Cookies
These are saved on your computer for a fixed period and are not deleted when your browser is closed. They may be used to recognise repeat visits and remember preferences.

Third-Party Cookies
These are set by other online services that provide content or functionality on the page you are viewing, such as third-party analytics companies that monitor and analyse website usage.

Cookies do not themselves contain information that personally identifies you. However, Personal Information that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.

You may remove or disable cookies by following the instructions within your device or browser preferences. However, if you disable cookies, some features of our Site may not operate properly and your online experience may be limited.

Google Analytics

We also use a tool called Google Analytics to collect information about your use of the Site.

Google Analytics collects information such as how often Users access the Site and which pages they visit. We use the information obtained through Google Analytics to help improve our Site and services.

Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site rather than your name or other directly identifying information.

We do not combine information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.

Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and Google Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Collection of Information

This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information that we collect from you.

If you disclose your information to other parties or websites, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of that information. We therefore encourage you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of each third party with whom you choose to share your information.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or individuals whom we do not employ or manage, including third parties to whom we may disclose information as described in this Privacy Policy.

How Do We Safeguard Your Information?

We take great care in implementing and maintaining the security of the Site and your information.

We employ industry-standard procedures and policies designed to protect the information we collect and retain and to prevent unauthorised use of that information.

We also require third parties handling information on our behalf to comply with appropriate security requirements in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Although we take reasonable steps to safeguard information, we cannot be responsible for the actions of individuals who gain unauthorised access to or abuse our Site, and we make no warranty, express or implied, that such access can always be prevented.

Transfer of Data Outside the EEA

Please note that some data recipients may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

In such cases, we will transfer your data only to countries approved by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection or enter into legal agreements designed to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

We may use third-party advertising technology to serve advertisements when you access the Site.

This technology may use information relating to your use of our services to provide advertisements to you, including through third-party cookies placed on your web browser.

You may opt out of many third-party advertising networks, including those operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA).

For further information about these practices and available opt-out options, please visit the respective NAI and DAA websites.

Marketing

We may use your Personal Information, such as your name, email address and telephone number, either ourselves or through third-party subcontractors, to provide you with promotional materials concerning services that we believe may interest you.

We respect your right to privacy and provide mechanisms within marketing communications that allow you to decline receiving further marketing offers from us.

If you unsubscribe, we will remove your email address or telephone number from the applicable marketing distribution lists.

Please note that even if you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we may still send you important non-marketing communications. These may include customer service announcements or administrative notices.

Corporate Transactions

We may share information in the event of a corporate transaction, such as the sale of a substantial part of our business, a merger, consolidation or asset sale.

In such circumstances, the transferee or acquiring company will assume the applicable rights and obligations described in this Privacy Policy.

We understand the importance of protecting children’s privacy, particularly in an online environment.

The Site is not designed for or directed at children. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from minors without the prior consent or authorisation of a parent or legal guardian.
