WHY WE COLLECT DATA?

We are collecting data in accordance with Personal Data Protection Bill 2021, in particular. The Personal Data Protection Bill 2021 (‘PDP Bill’) was put before the Parliament in 2021 and is still in consultation stages and yet to be promulgated into official legislation by the Parliament. The PDP Bill governs the processing, obtaining, holding, use and disclosure of personal data while respecting the rights, freedoms and dignity of natural persons, with special regard to their right to privacy, secrecy and personal identity:

• Performing the contract, we have with you: We need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligation to deliver our products to you. This data is necessary for the execution of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
• Consent: In some cases, we process Personal Data based on the consent you expressly grant to us at the time we collect such data. When we process Personal Data based on your consent, it will be expressly indicated to you at the point and time of collection. Signing up for our services is an example of this.
• Legal compliance: Sometimes we have to collect and use your data required by law. Tax laws for example require us to retain records of purchases and payments.
• Legitimate interests: This is a technical term in data protection law which basically means we have a good and fair reason to use your data and we do so in ways which do not hurt your interests and rights. We sometimes require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and that does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests. For example, we use identity, device, and location information to prevent fraud and abuse and to keep the Services secure. We also analyze how users interact with our Site so we can understand better what elements of the design are working well and which are not working so well. This allows us to improve and develop the quality of the online experience we offer all our users.
