If you contact us directly, we may receive  information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide. When you contact us using a Contact Form, we may ask for your contact information, including items such as name, address, email address, and telephone number.

How we use your information

We will use the information we collect mainly to provide you with information in relation to our core activities, inform you about our services and statistical analysis. Further to that, we may use the information to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our website
  • Improve, personalise, and expand our website

Retention of Information

We will retain and use your personal information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to enforce our agreements, resolve disputes, and unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your personal information after you update it or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. Once the retention period expires, personal information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification, and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.

Information Security

We secure information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorised access, use, modification, and disclosure of personal information in our control and custody. However, no data transmission over the internet or wireless network can be guaranteed.

Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that (i) there are security and privacy limitations of the internet that are beyond our control; (ii) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and this website and services cannot be guaranteed; and (iii) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party, despite best efforts.

Data Breach

In the event we become aware that the security of this website and services has been compromised or users’ personal information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including, but not limited to, security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures, including, but not limited to, investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation with law enforcement authorities. In the event of data breach, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if we believe that there is a reasonable risk of harm to the user as a result of the breach or if notice is otherwise required by law. When we do, we will inform you by email and/or post you a letter.

The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analysing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
