If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to answer to your query, or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations. Additionally, we do not encourage or advise you to include sensitive information on your profile, refrain from posting or adding such personal/sensitive information that you would not want to be publicly available.

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

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

DATA SHARING

We may have to share your data with third parties, including third-party service providers and other entities in the group. We require third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We may transfer your personal data outside the EU/EEA. If we do, you can expect a similar degree of protection in respect of your personal data.

Why might we share your personal data with third parties?

We will share your personal data with third parties where required by law, where it is necessary to provide our services to you or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so.

Which third-party service providers may process your personal data?

“Third parties” include third-party service providers (including contractors and designated agents) and other entities within our group.

How secure is your information with third-party service providers and other entities in our group?

All our third-party service providers and other entities in the group are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

When might we share your personal data with other entities in our group?

We may share your personal data with other entities in our group as part of our regular reporting activities on company performance, in the context of a business reorganization or group restructuring exercise, for system maintenance support and hosting of data.

What about other third parties?

We may share your personal data with other third parties. We may also need to share your personal data with a regulator or to otherwise comply with the law.

Transferring information outside the EU/EEA

We may transfer the personal data we collect about you to EU and outside the EU/EEA in order to perform our services. There is not an adequacy decision by the European Commission in respect of those countries. This means that the countries to which we transfer your data are not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data.

However, to ensure that your personal data does receive an adequate level of protection we have put in place the following appropriate measure/s to ensure that your personal data is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects the EU/EEA laws on data protection such as data transfer agreements based on standard contractual clauses. If you require further information about these protective measure/s, you can request it from Legal Department (please see contact details below).

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place measures to protect the security of your information. Details of these measures are available upon request.

Third parties will only process your personal data on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.

We have put in place appropriate technical, organizational and security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. 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 data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

Unfortunately, no website or Internet transmission is ever entirely secure and even we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or other breaches will never occur. However, here are some practical suggestions to aid in safeguarding your data:

  • Ensure that you log out of your account after use;
  • Refrain from sharing the credentials that you use to access your account;
  • It is advisable to change your password at regular intervals for added security.

LINKING OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS TO MOBILE APP

Upon signing in to our Mobile App through other social media accounts, you grant the particular social media platform permission to share your name and profile with us. Unless you choose to opt-out, you also provide consent to share your details with us.

In the event that you register or log in using your Apple ID, you grant Apple permission to share your Apple login credentials, a customizable name, and an email address (which can be concealed if preferred). Apple may generate a random email address to protect your personal email privacy. This email address will be connected to your Mobile App account and used to recover your Mobile App account if needed.

Subsequently, we will utilize this personal information to establish your account. If you choose to delete the Mobile App from your social media settings or your Apple ID, we will no longer have access to this information. It’s important to note that we will still retain the personal data acquired during your initial account setup through. To fully eliminate our access to this data, you must completely delete your account.

ACCOUNT DELETION

You have an option to delete your account from the Mobile App and once your account is deleted, we make sure it is no longer viewable to new users in the Mobile App.

We typically delete the information associated with deleted accounts with the following exceptions:

We may retain your personal data, even after you have deleted your account, if it is reasonably necessary to adhere to our legal obligations (including complying with law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, uphold security measures, prevent fraud and abuse. Other information may be retained even after your account deletion.

If you have shared any details while on the Mobile App with any other users and you delete your profile or account, it is still possible that copies of such data shared by you with other users may remain visible or accessible. We do not have control over this, and we shall not be liable for this. If you have granted third-party applications or websites permission to access your personal data, they may retain this information in accordance with their terms of service or privacy policies.

DATA RETENTION

How long will we use your information for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes, we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.

DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

What we may need from you

This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time.
