We may disclose your personal information to third parties in the following circumstances:

• If you are a customer of our Services, your name, email address, country of residence, IP address, and debit or credit card (or other payment method) details.

• To services providers who provide services to us (for example, to support the delivery of, provide functionality for, or help to enhance the security of the Services), or process personal information for content customisation, personalisation, ad selection and ad delivery and reporting, measurement purposes, or who otherwise process personal information for purposes that are described in this Privacy Policy or notified to you when we collect your personal information. Our third party services providers include:

> Google Cloud Platform

> Zoho

> Mailchimp

> Microsoft 365

> Klaviyo

• To competent law enforcement or regulatory bodies, HMRC, other government agencies, courts or other third parties where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your interests or those of any other person.

• If you’ve agreed to receive it, to third parties which show you products and services that they think may be of interest to you.

The legal basis for collecting and using the personal information will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it, but we will only do where one of the following applies:

• We have your consent.

• We need the personal information to perform a contract with you.

• Where the processing of your personal information is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

  
  

Where your personal information is transferred to companies outside the UK, we make sure that it is protected in a similar way to how we protect your information within the UK and in compliance with Data Protections Laws. We do this in a number of ways. For example, we may use specific contracts which give personal information the same protection it has in the UK. Or we ensure that the country to which the personal data is transferred has been deemed by the UK government to provide an adequate level of protection.

Section 5 How we you keep your personal information secure?

We will take commercially reasonable, appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk that could be encountered via the use of the easySim Webapp or an easySim Mobile App, taking into account the likelihood and severity those risks might pose to your rights and freedoms. Those measures include, but are not limited to, using encryption, passwords, firewalls, anti-virus/malware software, cloud storage with two factor authentication (2FA), and maintaining regular backups.

Please be aware that, while we make the security of the Services and your personal information a high priority and devote considerable time and resources to maintain robust IT security, no security system can prevent all security breaches. When you choose to share your personal information with us, you accept that this is the case and provide your information at your own risk.

Section 6 For how long do we keep your personal information?

We keep your personal information for the following periods of time:

• If you are a customer of our Services, for up to 1 year after the end of our relationship.

• If you are one of our suppliers, for up to 6 years after the end of our relationship.

• If you are one of our employees, for up to 6 years after the end of your employment.

• If you are an unsuccessful job candidate, for up to 6 months after the end of the recruitment campaign.

• If you have agreed to receive marketing, for up to 1 year after the end of the marketing campaign.

In all cases we will only keep your personal information for as long as we need it.

Section 7 What are your data protection rights?

You have the following data protection rights:

1. You have the right at any time to withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information.

2. You have the right to be told what personal information we hold about you on our database and how we process that data.

4. You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information that we hold about you.

5. You have the right to request that we irretrievably delete all personal information that we hold about you (the so-called “right to be forgotten”). Note that there are limited circumstances in which we are legally entitled to refuse to comply with this request.

6. You have the right to request that we transmit all the personal information that we hold about you (in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form) to another organisation’s IT environment. Note that we are only legally obliged to comply with this request if it is technically feasible for us to do so.

7. You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing e-mails we send you, or by replying to any marketing text messages with the word “STOP”.
