DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL DATA

We do not process or disclose personal data other than as set forth in this Policy. In particular, we never sell, license, or otherwise disclose your contact information to third parties for their promotional use. However, we may disclose your personal data under the following circumstances:

  • To comply with court orders or other legal requirements.
  • If we sell our business or any portion of it, we may disclose your personal data to the purchaser. We may also disclose your personal data to a prospective purchaser during a due-diligence period preceding sale, subject to a nondisclosure agreement that protects your personal data from misuse. Likewise, if we acquire another business, we may disclose your personal data to the acquired business. In the event of such sale or acquisition, the new owners or affiliates may use your personal data in the same ways as described in this Policy.
  • From time to time, we may engage service providers to assist in managing or operating our business (for example, to provide customer service). We may disclose your personal data to such service providers as needed to accomplish our purposes, as described above.

For more information about our legal bases for processing your personal data, please contact us as set forth below.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

We and some of our service providers are based outside of the European Union (“EU”). If you are located within the EU, our processing may involve a transfer of your personal data outside of the EU. If you are a natural person located in the EU, we will ensure a degree of protection for your personal data similar to that afforded in the EU by at least one of the following means:

  • a model contract approved by the European Commission that requires the same protections for your personal data as under EU law
  • the use of service providers that are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield

If you are a natural person located in the EU and want further information on the specific means of protection used by us when transferring your personal data outside of the EU, please contact us as set forth below.

RETENTION

We will retain your personal data only for so long as needed to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it and to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. You may request details about our retention periods for each element of your personal data by contacting us as set forth below. If you are a natural person located in EU, or if applicable law otherwise so requires, you may request that we erase your personal data by contacting us as set forth below.

SECURITY

We maintain appropriate security measures designed to protect your personal data from loss as well as from being accessed, altered, used, or disclosed without authorization. We limit access to your personal data to those of our employees, agents, representatives, and service providers who have a need to know in order to accomplish the purposes for which we use your personal data. We require that such persons process your personal data solely in accordance with our instructions and not for other purposes.

We maintain appropriate procedures to deal with any actual or suspected data breach. We will notify you and any regulators having jurisdiction over such a breach whenever we are required by law to do so.

APOS Algo products and services may contain links or references to resources controlled by third parties with whom we do not have a relationship. We do not control such third parties and are not responsible for them. When you access resources controlled by third parties, you should exercise caution and familiarize yourself with the controller’s data-privacy practices.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

If you are in the EU or in another jurisdiction that confers similar protections, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • to request access
  • to request correction of any incomplete or inaccurate personal data
  • to request erasure when there is no legal basis for our processing or retention or when local law so requires
  • to object to processing when you feel it adversely impacts you
  • to request restriction of processing to verify the accuracy of your personal data
  • to request restriction of processing pending an objection or other legal proceeding
  • to request transfer to a third party
  • to withdraw your consent to our retention or processing

If you wish to exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us as set forth below. We may need specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. (This is a security measure to ensure that your personal data is not disclosed to unauthorized persons.)

In general, you will not have to pay any fee to access your personal data or to exercise any other right accorded to you by law. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer if your request is complex or if you make numerous requests. In such case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

MODIFICATIONS

We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by posting a notice on our website home page.

CONTACT US

If you have questions about this Policy or your personal data, please contact our privacy coordinator by email at corporateoffice@aposalgo.in.

If you reside in the European Union, you have the right to file a complaint regarding our handling of your personal data with the Information Commissioner’s Office in the country where you reside.
