• Where we need to perform the contract with you (such as when you purchase something from us)

• Where we need to comply with a legal obligation. 

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We may share your personal information with any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries.

We may also share your information with selected third parties including:

• Business partners, suppliers and subcontractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with you.
• Analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site.
• Professional advisers, including lawyers, auditors and insurers.

• if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use or terms of sale and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bioself Technology Ltd, our customers, or others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and treat it in accordance with applicable law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your data for their own purposes, and they can only process your personal data for specific purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data or at any time by contacting us at info@getsensate.com.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third party website or application, you are no longer governed by this privacy policy or our website’s terms of use.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS

Remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. As an example, if you are located in the UK and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

If you live in a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom, you may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of your personal information.
We will ensure a similar degree of protection to your data when we must transfer it outside the United Kingdom or EEA with at least one of the following safeguards:
The country has been deemed to have an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.

If we use certain service providers based outside the EEA, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which gives personal data the same protection it has in the U.K or EEA.

In any other case, we will obtain your explicit consent before any transfer occurs.

LINKS

Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with an SHA-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, our ecommerce partner Shopify is fully PCI-DSS compliant and our website is implemented against generally accepted industry standards. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach, and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes that we collected it for, including for any legal, regulatory or other reporting requirements. If we believe there is a prospect of litigation regarding our relationship with you, we may also retain your data for a longer time period.
In order to determine what is an appropriate retention period for your personal data, we will consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the data we hold, the potential risk of harm from a breach of the data, the reason we process your data and if we can achieve those purposes through other means, and other legal, regulatory or tax requirements.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

• You have the right to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• You may also request correction of the data we hold about it if it is incomplete or inaccurate.
• You can request that we delete or remove your personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it (subject to any specific legal reasons otherwise, which we will inform you of at the time of your request).
• You may object to the processing of your personal data if we are relying on a legitimate interest if you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• You may ask us to suspend or restrict the processing of your personal data if you want us to establish its accuracy, our use of such data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it, where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it for purposes of you establishing, exercising or defending legal claims, or you have objected but we need to verify if we have legitimate grounds to use it.
• You can request that we transfer your personal data to you or a third party in a structured, commonly used, machine readable format (where we used the information we have to perform services for you).
• You may also withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on your consent to process data.
• You will always have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory body. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s office.
