Privacy Assurance Statement

We acknowledge the critical importance of protecting the privacy of our website's visitors. This policy, alongside our terms of use and any other related documents, describes our data handling processes. By engaging with our website, you are agreeing to the terms of how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data. Please read this policy carefully to fully understand our practices regarding your personal information and how we treat it.

(1) Data We Receive Directly from Your Activities

We collect information from visitors to our Website who express interest in our services and wish to be contacted by the company. The information includes:

  • Name, email address, educational background, employment background, address, country of residence and telephone number

(2) Strategies for Utilizing Your Data

Any or all of the above Data may be required by us from time to time in order to provide you with the best possible service and experience when using our Website. Specifically, Data may be used by us for the following reasons:

  • internal record keeping;
  • improvement of our products / services;
  • transmission by email of marketing materials that may be of interest to you;
in each case, in accordance with this privacy policy.

We may use your Data for the above purposes if we deem it necessary to do so for our legitimate interests. If you are not satisfied with this, you have the right to object in certain circumstances.

For the delivery of direct marketing to you via e-mail, we’ll need your consent, whether via an opt-in or soft-opt-in:

  • soft opt-in consent is a specific type of consent which applies when you have previously engaged with us (for example, you contact us to ask us for more details about a particular product/service, and we are marketing similar products/services). Under “soft opt-in” consent, we will take your consent as given unless you opt-out.
  • for other types of e-marketing, we are required to obtain your explicit consent; that is, you need to take positive and affirmative action when consenting by, for example, checking a tick box that we’ll provide.
  • if you are not satisfied about our approach to marketing, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time.
When you register with us and set up an account to receive our services, the legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract between you and us and/or taking steps, at your request, to enter into such a contract.

(3) Third-party policy

Personal data may be shared with both internal and external parties as deemed necessary for fulfilling contractual obligations, adhering to legal requirements, or protecting legitimate business interests. We enforce strict data security and privacy standards with all third parties handling personal data.

(4) Your personal data safety

Commitment to Privacy and Data Security

We prioritize your privacy and security, utilizing cutting-edge security technologies to safeguard your information. Data collection is limited to cases where you have provided consent, ensuring that personal information is used solely for its intended purpose and can be securely deleted upon request.

(6) Regulatory Rights Over Your Data

  • You have specific rights concerning your personal information, such as the rights to access, correct, and delete your data. If you wish to exercise these rights or have any queries about our privacy practices, please contact us via email.

(7) Additional Elements

Your Profile information, excluding sensitive details like your email address and password, is displayed to enhance social connectivity and site functionality.

Our policy is to retain personal data only for the period necessary to fulfill its intended purposes or as you request its deletion, subject to any legal or regulatory requirements that require extended retention. Data may remain on backup systems for legal reasons even after removal from active systems.
