PRIVACY
STATEMENT
This document declares the undertakings by Procesys in
relation to its handling of Your Data.
Data Collection
Procesys undertakes to collect Your Data by means that are:
- fair;
- legal; and
- transparent.
If you visit Procesys's web-site, your
web-browser automatically discloses, and Procesys's web-server
automatically logs, the following information: the date and time,
the IP address from which you issued the request, the type of
browser and operating system you are using, the URL of any page that
referred you to the page, the URL you requested, and whether your
request was successful. This data may or may not be sufficient to
identify you.
Any additional data that you provide, e.g. in a
web-form, may also be logged. This data may or may not be
sufficient to identify you.
Any additional data that your web-browser automatically
provides may also be logged. This will be the case, for
example, if your browser has previously been requested to store data
on your computer in 'cookies' and submits them each
time you request a web-page within a particular domain (such as
Procesys.com). This data may or may not be sufficient to identify
you.
If you disclose personal data to Procesys in
conjunction with an identifier such as your name or your credit-card
details, Procesys will collect Your Data. Moreover, any
data that becomes available to Procesys through any of the means
described in the preceding paragraphs may be able to be associated
with that identifier, and hence become Your Data.
Subject to the qualifications immediately below, Procesys
undertakes to collect Your Data from you and not
from other parties. This undertaking is qualified as follows:
- where Procesys reasonably considers that the protection of
its financial interests requires that it gather YourData from
other sources, or from additional sources. This applies in
particular where Procesys has a lending exposure to you, and
seeks information about your creditworthiness;
- where Procesys reasonably considers that its capability to
deliver quality services to you will be materially enhanced by
gathering YourData from other sources. This applies in particular
to consumer profile data.
Where Procesys collects Your Data from sources other
than you, it undertakes:
- to do so only by legal means;
- to do so only with your Consent; and
- to declare to you what sources it uses, and under what
circumstances.
Procesys undertakes to declare the purpose of
collection in a manner which is clear and meaningful, and
to avoid vague, highly inclusive statements such as 'to support our
operations'.
Data Security
Procesys undertakes to store Your Data in a
manner that ensures security against unauthorised access, alteration
or deletion, at a level commensurate with its sensitivity.
Procesys undertakes to store Your Data only in
jurisdictions where data protections are at least
equivalent to those required under the OECD Guidelines.
Procesys undertakes to transmit Your Data in
a manner that ensures security against unauthorised access,
alteration or deletion, at a level commensurate with its
sensitivity.
Procesys undertakes to implement appropriate measures
to ensure security of Your Data against inappropriate behaviour by
Procesys's staff-members and contractors. These include:
- training for staff in relation to privacy;
- access control, to limit access to Your Data to those staff
and contractors who have legitimate reasons to access it;
- particularly in the case of sensitive data, audit trails of
accesses, including the identities of staff and contractors
accessing the data;
- reminders to staff and contractors from time to time about the
importance of data privacy, and the consequences of inappropriate
behaviour;
- declaration of appropriately strong sanctions that are to be
applied in the event of inappropriate behaviour
- clear communication of policies and sanctions; and
- processes to audit, to investigate and to impose sanctions.
Data Use
Use refers to the application of Your Data by any part of
Procesys, or any staff-member or contractor of Procesys in the
course of their work.
Procesys undertakes to use Your Data only for:
- the purposes for which it was collected;
- such other purposes as are subsequently
agreed between Procesys and You;
- such additional purposes as may be required by
law. In these circumstances, Procesys will take any
reasonable steps available to it to communicate to You that the
use has occurred, unless it is precluded from doing so by law; and
- such additional purposes as are authorised by
law (in particular to protect Procesys's interests,
e.g. if it believes on reasonable grounds that You have failed to
fulfil your undertakings to Procesys or have committed a breach
of the criminal law).
Procesys undertakes to use YourData only if it has
demonstrable relevance to the particular use to
which it is being put.
Procesys undertakes to use YourData in such a manner as to
take into account the possibility that it is not of
sufficient quality for the purpose, e.g. because it
is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, or out-of-context.
Data Disclosure
Disclosure refers to making YourData available to any party other
than Procesys and You. The term disclosure may include many
different conditions of data transfer, including selling, renting,
trading, sharing and giving.
Procesys undertakes to disclose Your Data only under the
following circumstances:
- in the course of business being conducted between You
and Procesys, where disclosure is necessary to a
contractor, such as a transport company. Where Your Data is
disclosed in this way, Procesys undertakes to exercise control
over Procesys's contractors to ensure that their actions are
compliant with these Terms;
- in other circumstances that are directly implied by
the purpose agreed between You and Procesys at the
time of data collection or subsequently. Where Your Data is
disclosed in this way, Procesys undertakes to exercise control
over Procesys's contractors to ensure that their actions are
compliant with these Terms;
- with your consent, or at your request;
- where required by law, such as a provision of
a statute, or a court order such as a search warrant or sub poena.
In these circumstances, Procesys will take any reasonable steps
available to it to communicate to You that the disclosure has
occurred, unless it is precluded from doing so by law;
- where permitted by law (e.g. the reporting of
suspected breach of the criminal law to a law enforcement agency;
and in an emergency, where Procesys believes on reasonable
grounds that the disclosure of YourData will materially assist in
the protection of the life of health of some person), provided
that Procesys will apply due diligence to ensure that the
exercise of the permission is justifiable.
In all cases, Procesys undertakes to disclose only such of
Your Data as is necessary in the particular circumstances.
Data Retention and Destruction
Subject to the qualifications immediately below, Procesys
undertakes:
- to retain Your Data only as long as is
consistent with its purpose; and
- to destroy Your Data when its purpose has
expired, and to do so in such a manner that Your Data is not
subsequently capable of being recovered.
This undertaking is qualified as follows:
- Your Data may be retained in Procesys's logs,
backups and audit trails within short-term retention
cycles that are devised to protect the company's operations. In
such cases, Your Data will be destroyed in accordance with those
cycles;
- Your Data may be retained beyond the expiry of its purpose if
that is required by law, such as a provision of a
statute, or a court order such as a search warrant or sub poena,
or a warning by a law enforcement agency that delivery of a court
order is imminent. In these circumstances, Procesys:
- will take any reasonable steps available to it to
communicate to You that Your Data is being retained, unless it
is precluded from doing so by law; and
- will only retain Your Data while that provision is current,
and will then destroy Your Data;
- Your Data may be retained beyond the expiry of its purpose if
it is authorised by law (in particular to protect
Procesys's interests, e.g. if it believes on reasonable grounds
that You have failed to fulfil your undertakings to Procesys or
have committed a breach of the criminal law). In these
circumstances, Procesys will only retain Your Data while that
situation is current, and will then destroy Your Data.
Access by You to Your Personal
Data
Procesys undertakes to provide you with
access to Your Data, subject to only such
conditions and processes as are reasonable in the circumstances. In
particular, Procesys undertakes to enable access:
- conveniently;
- without unreasonable delay; and
- without cost.
Procesys undertakes to establish and operate identity
authentication protections for access to Your Data that are
appropriate to its sensitivity, but practical. This may involve some
inconvenience; for example, relatively straightforward procedures
may be involved in order to provide you with access through a
channel that you have previously registered with Procesys (such
as a particular email-address), but may impose more onerous
procedures if you wish to use some other channel.
In the event that you dispute some aspect of Your Data,
Procesys undertakes to take reasonable steps in relation to the
amendment, supplementation or deletion of Your
Data.
You undertake:
- not to seek access for frivolous purposes, or unreasonably
frequently;
- to accept that deletion of some data may not be consistent
with the provision of particular services by Procesys to you.
Information about Data-Handling
Practices
Procesys undertakes to make information available to you about
the manner in which Procesys handles your data:
- in general terms, in a readily accessible manner; and
- in more specific terms, on request.
Where Your Data is disclosed to a contractor, Procesys
undertakes to make information available to you on request about the
manner in which Procesys's contractors handle your data.
Procesys undertakes to ensure that the information provided is
meaningful, and addresses your concerns.
You undertake:
- not to seek such information for frivolous purposes, or
unreasonably frequently; and
- to accept that the disclosure of excessive detail may harm the
security of Your Data and Procesys's business processes, and
may harm Procesys's commercial interests.
Handling of Enquiries, General
Concerns and Complaints
If you have enquiries, general concerns, or complaints about
these Terms, or about Procesys's behaviour in relation to these
Terms, you undertake:
- to communicate them in the first instance:
- to Procesys only;
- in sufficient detail;
- through a channel made available by Procesys for that
purpose;
Procesys undertakes:
- to provide one or more channels for
communications to Procesys, which are convenient to
users;
- to promptly provide acknowledgement of the
receipt of communications, including the provision of a copy of
the communication, the date and time it was registered, and
Procesys's reference-code for the communication;
- to promptly provide a response to the
communication, in an appropriate and meaningful manner.
You further undertake to not pursue Procesys through any
Regulator or the media:
- until and unless Procesys has had a reasonable opportunity
to respond to the initial communication; and
- while Procesys and you remain are conducting a meaningful
dialogue about the matter.
Enforcement
Procesys declares that its undertakings in these Terms are
intended to create legal obligations, and that
those obligations are intended to be enforceable
under appropriate laws in appropriate jurisdictions. These include
laws relating to data protection, privacy, fair trading,
corporations and criminal laws.
You undertake to seek enforcement only in a
jurisdiction that is relevant
to the transactions that have taken place between You and Procesys,
in particular the jurisdiction in which you live or in which you
performed the relevant acts, and the jurisdiction in which Procesys
is domiciled or performed the relevant acts.
Changes to These Privacy
Undertakings
Procesys undertakes:
- not to materially change these Terms in a manner that reduces
the protections for Your Data;
- to take all possible steps to prevent any company that
acquires this company or any of its relevant assets from
materially changing the Terms applicable to Your Data in a manner
that reduces the protections for Your Data;
- where it is considering making changes to these Terms, or
creating more specific Terms relating to specific services, to
consult with appropriate representative and advocacy
organisations;
- where it makes changes to these Terms, to ensure that the
differences between successive versions are readily accessible;
- to maintain all prior versions of these Terms in such a manner
that they are dated, and readily accessible.
