Personal data is information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal data also includes anonymous data that is linked to information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you. Personal data does not include data that has been irreversibly anonymized or aggregated so that it can no longer enable us, whether in combination with other information or otherwise, to identify you.
Below is a description of the types of personal data we may collect and how we may use it.

All our services are in the business-to-business environment. Therefore, we encourage you to provide us with, where possible, only data that relates to your business not your home. We do not wish to disturb you in your personal time and space.

(c), and where the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, such processing will be made in accordance with GDPR Article 6(1) lit. (f).
Your Rights
We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is accurate, complete, and up to date. You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data that we collect. You are also entitled to restrict or object, at any time, to the further processing of your personal data. You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured and standard format. You may lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority regarding the processing of your personal data.
To protect the privacy and the security of your personal data, we may request data from you to enable us to confirm your identity and right to access such data, as well as to search for and provide you with the personal data we maintain.

You may contact us at any time to exercise your rights. We will respond to your request in a reasonable timeframe of less than 30 days.
Closing Accounts
Please contact us to close your account in relation to the following uses of your personal data:

  • providing, improving, and developing our products and services;
  • communicating with you;
  • sharing your personal data with third party partners;
  • offering and measuring targeted advertisements and services; or
  • promoting safety and security.

Please contact us to close your account in relation to the use of your personal data for the provision of products and services you requested.
If you close your account, we have no obligation to retain your data, and we may delete any or all of your data without liability. However, we may retain data related to you if we believe it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, if required by law, or for legitimate purposes, such as analysis of non-personal data, account recovery, auditing our records, and enforcing our rights and obligations under our agreements.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our websites, products, and services may contain links to or the ability for you to access third-party websites, products, and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by those third parties, nor are we responsible for the information or content their products and services contain. This Privacy Statement applies solely to data collected by us through our products and services. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third party before proceeding to use their websites, products, or services.
Data Security, Integrity, and Retention
We use reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access to your data, and to correctly use the data we collect. For example, access to your personal data is restricted to our employees, contractors, and agents who need access to such data to perform their assigned job duties.
It is important that you take precautions to protect against unauthorized access to your Mawsonia Limited products, account credentials, and computer or other devices. If you feel that the security of your account or personal data has been compromised, please immediately contact us. Please be aware that, despite our best efforts, no security system is impenetrable. In the event of a security breach, we will promptly notify you and the proper authorities if required by law.
We will retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Cookie Policy
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally.
We store cookies to allow the passwords of registered users to be remembered by the website and to make sure they get the access to which they are entitled. This also means we obtain data about website and email usage. We only use such data on an individual basis for internal use to help us better understand our customers’ interests. This data is never made public unless in an aggregated form – for example to provide an advertiser with website traffic figures.
These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:

  • enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task
  • recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don’t need to do it for every webpage requested or log in each time you visit
  • measuring how many people are using services, so that traffic can be managed to ensure pages load quickly

You can manage these small files yourself and learn more about them through “Internet browser cookies – what they are and how to manage them”
Children
We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose data from children under 16. If we learn that we have collected the personal data of a child under 16, or the equivalent minimum age depending on the jurisdiction, we will take steps to delete the data as soon as possible. Please immediately contact us if you become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal data.
Data Transfers, Storage, and Processing Globally
We have employees and service providers outside the EU, as such your personal data may be transferred to and/or made accessible from countries out of the European Economic Area. In such circumstances, we will enter model contractual clauses as adopted by the European Commission or binding corporate rules where our partners or service providers have adopted such internal policies approved by European data protection authorities. 
Changes to this Privacy Statement
We may periodically change this Privacy Statement to keep pace with new technologies, industry practices, and regulatory requirements, among other reasons. Any non-material changes will take effect immediately upon posting of an updated Privacy Statement. In cases where changes to the Privacy Statement are significant we will first provide a more prominent notice.
Your continued use of our products and services after the effective date of the Privacy Statement means that you accept the revised Privacy Statement. If you do not agree to the revised Privacy Statement, please refrain from using our products or services and contact us to close any account you may have created.
Contact Us
If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Statement or its implementation, please contact us at customerservice@mawsonia.com. We will respond to your request in a reasonable time frame of less than 30 days.
