9. WE AND THIRD PARTIES USE COOKIES ON THE WEBSITE
Cookies are tiny bits of data that website owners automatically send/download to a visitor’s device browser when they access their websites. Like these website owners, we (and some of our third-party service providers) use cookies on the Website. We use cookies to make some of the Website functionalities work, as well as track certain preferences about you. Please, review our Cookie Policy to learn about the types of cookies we use; what we use cookies for; how long cookies stay on your browser; and how you can reject, delete or update your cookie preference.
10. WE PROTECT YOUR DATA ADEQUATELY
We take it as our mission to protect your data and do it in compliance with set laws. We do not share personal data about you unless such sharing is necessary. We do not share data with third parties for their marketing goals – nor do we use the services of third parties whose data protection practices are not up to standard. We let our payment processors process and store any payment method data you share with us in relation to your payments.
Furthermore, we use SSL/TLS to securely transfer data and any web requests. Also, we encrypt all personal data (and sensitive personal data) in our database using AES256. It gets better – we do not share data with any employee or anybody within the WHEN THEN LTD group unless it’s on a need-to-know basis.
However, even though we care about your privacy and try our best to secure your data from aunthorised third-party access, use or alteration, we cannot guarantee you that your data will always be secure, as there exists no 100% security for any data transmission over the internet. Therefore, we will not be liable for any data breach that is not caused by our negligence. You also have an obligation to keeping your log-in credentials private, and you should always notify us if you get a hint someone else – whom you do not permit – has access to your client account.
11. WE MARKET TO YOU VIA THESE MEANS
- Email Newsletter: When you subscribe to our email newsletter upon signing up and account, you consent to our marketing via email. We will send marketing messages about our products, services and things we think match your interest. Where you have subscribed, you have the right to unsubscribe at any time. You can unsubscribe from our email newsletters by following the unsubscribe instructions provided at the bottom of any email newsletter sent to you by WHEN THEN LTD.
- Personalise (interest-based) Advertising: We may work with ad partners and ad agencies who help us to target you with ads about our products and Services on other websites and apps. Where we target you with our ads on any website or app, you have the right to opt-out on such channels. However, opting out does not stop you from seeing ads; it will only stop ads based on your interest. You can learn more about personalised advertising and how to opt-out here (if you are located outside the EU or UK, visit here). Some of these ad partners and agencies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and Digital Advertising Alliance (DAI). You may click on these links to learn more and opt-out.
- Push Notifications: Where you give us permission to send you notices through your browser push notifications, we will send notices about system and connection issues and marketing. You may deny us permission by going through the settings available on your Google chrome browser.
12. WE RETAIN YOUR DATA TILL YOU ARE NO MORE A CLIENT
We are required to keep personal data with us for no longer than we need it. When you share personal data with us, we will keep it for as long as you use our Services or otherwise keep a client account with us. Upon your request to exercise your right to delete your data or client account, we will delete your data to the extent permitted by law and if it does not override our interest. For example, where we are required to retain records of transactions for a certain period or where your data is needed in an ongoing investigation or violation, we will not delete such data until it is no more needed.
13. WE MAY TRANSFER YOUR DATA ACROSS BORDERS
WHEN THEN LTD is a corporation based in Ireland, UK, and we process personal data in accordance with the GDPR law. By submitting personal data to us, you agree that we will process your data in accordance with the GDPR law, as described under this Privacy Policy. We also use third-party service providers from other locations whose privacy laws may be different from the laws in your location. However, when we transfer personal data to third parties outside of the UK, EU, or countries within the GDPR, we will protect it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We will rely on the European Commission’s (EC) approved data transfer mechanisms, including where we are required to use standard contractual clauses.
To simplify our compliance with the GDPR, we have provided a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), which governs the relationship between WHEN THEN LTD (as a data processor or subprocessor) and Customer (as defined under the DPA) acting as a data controller.
