The Right to Delete

The Right to Request that the SSL Group and its service providers delete your personal information

A consumer has the right to request that the SSL Group deletes any personal information about the consumer which the SSL Group has collected from the consumer, and the SSL Group will notify any service providers or contractors acting on its behalf to do the same, and notify all third parties to whom the SSL Group has sold or shared such personal information to delete the consumer’s personal information, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. The SSL Group will comply with a consumer’s request to delete his or her personal information upon receipt and verification of a Verifiable CCPA California Consumer Request Form (hereinafter “Request to Delete”). By law, the SSL Group may retain certain personal information collected from a consumer, notwithstanding the consumer’s request to delete the same, if it is reasonably necessary for the SSL Group to maintain the consumer’s information in order to:

  • Engage in research that conforms or adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the SSL Group’s deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the ability to complete such research, with informed consent.
  • To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer, based on the consumer’s relationship with the SSL Group.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.

The Right to Opt-Out

The Right to Opt-Out of the sale or sharing of your personal information

Under California law, a consumer has the right to opt out of sharing of his/her personal information for the purpose of targeted advertising and/or of the sale of his/her personal information by a business that collects personal information and sells it (“Request to Opt- Out”). Certain sharing with marketing and analytics cookies is considered a “sale” under the CCPA. To opt-out of certain sharing of information with our third-party analytics and digital advertising service providers, you may set your preferences to reject analytics and advertising cookies by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of the applicable SSL Group website.

The Right to Non-Discrimination

The Right to Non-Discrimination for the exercise of your rights under the CCPA

A consumer has the right to be free from discrimination by the SSL Group because the consumer exercised any of his/her rights under the CCPA. Examples of discrimination may include:

  • Denying goods or services to you.
  • Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties, in a manner that is not justified under the law.
  • Providing a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • The SSL Group will not discriminate against consumers who exercise their rights under the CCPA.

The Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information

A consumer has the right to request the SSL Group to correct inaccurate personal information about the consumer, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of the personal information. If the SSL Group receives a verifiable consumer request to correct inaccurate personal information, the SSL Group will use reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate information.

The Right to Know What Personal Information is Sold or Shared and to Whom

In the event that the SSL Group receives a verifiable consumer request from a consumer whose personal information has been sold, shared, or disclosed for a business purpose by the SSL Group, the consumer has the right to request that the SSL Group discloses to the consumer:

  • The categories of personal information that the SSL Group collected about the consumer.

  • The categories of personal information that the SSL Group disclosed about the consumer for a business purpose and the categories of persons to whom it was disclosed for a business purpose.

The Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

The SSL Group is not required to offer consumers a right to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information if the SSL Group is using the sensitive personal information for the following purposes, provided that the use of the consumer’s personal information is reasonably necessary and proportionate for this purpose:

  • To perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those goods or services.
  • To detect security incidents.
  • To resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at the SSL Group and to prosecute those responsible for those actions.
  • To ensure the physical safety of natural persons.
  • For short-term, transient use, including, but not limited to, nonpersonalized advertising shown as part of a consumer’s current interaction with the SSL Group, provided that the personal information is not disclosed to another third party and is not used to build a profile about the consumer or otherwise alter the consumer’s experience outside the current interaction with the SSL Group.
  • To perform services on behalf of the SSL Group, such as maintaining or servicing accounts, providing customer service, processing or fulfilling orders and transactions, verifying customer information, processing payments, providing financing, providing analytic services, providing storage, or providing similar services on behalf of the SSL Group.
  • To verify or maintain the quality or safety of a service or device that is owned, manufactured, manufactured for, or controlled by the SSL Group, and to improve, upgrade, or enhance the service or device that is owned, manufactured by, manufactured for, or controlled by the SSL Group.

If the SSL Group is not using the sensitive personal information for the above purposes, a consumer shall have the right to direct the SSL Group to limit its use of the sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requested the goods or services. If the SSL Group has received such a direction, the SSL Group is prohibited from using or disclosing the consumer’s sensitive personal information for any other purpose, unless the consumer subsequently provides consent to use the information for additional purposes. If the SSL Group uses or discloses a consumer’s sensitive personal information other than as necessary to perform the services or provide the goods, the SSL Group will provide notice to consumers that this information may be used, or disclosed to a service provider or contractor, for additional, specified purposes and that consumers have the right to limit the use or disclosure of their sensitive personal information.

This Australia Addendum (“Australia Addendum”) supplements this Policy to the extent that the Australian Privacy Act applies in relation to the processing of Personal Data in Australia by the SSL Group. In case of any inconsistences between this Australia Addendum and the rest of this Policy, this Australia Addendum prevails.

PERSONAL DATA UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN PRIVACY ACT

In this Australia Addendum and in the Privacy Policy as it relates to the processing of Personal Data in Australia, “Personal Data” has the same meaning as “personal information” as defined in the Australian Privacy Act. “Sensitive information” is a type of “personal information” and has the same meaning as defined in the Australian Privacy Act. The concept of a “Data Controller” does not exist under the Australian Privacy Act.

DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA OVERSEAS?

We generally collect your Personal Data in Australia. However, we will share your Personal Data with overseas recipients located in Singapore, New Zealand and Hong Kong. These recipients include:

  • our service providers who may handle, process or store your Personal Data on our behalf. For example, we may share your Personal Data with service providers who assist us with storing our data on data storage servers, or with improving our products and services;
  • law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities or other government authorities requiring your Personal Data for purposes such as state security, customs and immigration; and
  • other members of the SSL Group.

We only ever share your Personal Data outside of Australia where we are permitted to do so under applicable Personal Data Protection Laws. Generally this means we will take reasonable steps to ensure your Personal Data is treated securely and in accordance with applicable Personal Data Protection Laws. There are other circumstances where we may disclose your Personal Data to an overseas recipient. For example, where you have provided your consent or we are otherwise permitted to do so under other relevant laws.

HOW CAN YOU ACCESS OR SEEK CORRECTION TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

You are entitled to request access to any of your Personal Data that we collect. To make such a request, please contact the Data Protection Officer using the contact details at Section 5.11 of the Policy.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Data that we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. You can help us to do this by letting us know if you notice errors or discrepancies in the Personal Data we hold about you and informing us of any change in your Personal Data (for example, if your email address changes or if you move and change address).

If you consider any Personal Data that we have about you is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, you are also entitled to request correction of the Personal Data (again, please contact our Data Protection Officer). After receiving a request from you, we will take reasonable steps to correct your Personal Data.

We may decline your request to access or correct your Personal Data in certain circumstances in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Laws. If we do refuse your request, we will provide you with a reason for our decision. In addition, in the case we refuse your request for correction, we will include a statement about your request with the Personal Data we store.

DO WE USE OR SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING?

We (or any member of the SSL Group) may send you direct marketing communications, information and offers about services that we think may interest you, as permitted under applicable Personal Data Protection Laws. This may take the form of emails, SMS or other forms of communication. You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting our Data Protection Officer using the contact details set out in Section 5.11 of the Policy or by using the opt-out facilities provided in our communications (e.g. an unsubscribe link).

We will only send these communications in accordance with applicable privacy and marketing laws (such as the Australian Privacy Act (including Australian Privacy Principle 7), the Australian Spam Act 2003 (Cth)), and only where you have opted in to (and not subsequently opted out of) receiving such communications from the us.

HOW CAN YOU MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE HANDLING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

If you have any questions or concerns about this Australia Addendum or how we have handled your Personal Data, you may contact the Data Protection Officer at any time using the contact details at Section 5.11 of the Policy.

  • we may ask you to provide further information about your complaint and the outcome you are seeking.
3.We will then typically gather relevant facts, locate and review relevant documents and speak with the individuals involved.
4.In most cases, we will respond to your complaint within 30 business days from when we receive your complaint. If the matter is more complex or our investigation may take longer, we will let you know.

If you are not satisfied with our response to a complaint, or you consider that we may have breached the Australian Privacy Act (including the Australian Privacy Principles), you are entitled to make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (the Australian privacy regulator).

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner can be contacted by telephone on 1300 363 992, or you can fill out this form to make a complaint about our handling of your Personal Data.

This PRC Addendum forms a part of the Policy. In case of any inconsistences between this PRC Addendum and the rest of the Policy, this PRC Addendum prevails.

  • Necessary for us to respond to sudden public health incidents or to protect individual’s lives, health or properties under emergency conditions;
  • Necessary for us to implement news reporting, public opinion supervision and other such activities for the public interest, provided that such processing is carried out within a reasonable scope; or
  • Related to your Personal Data which has already been publicly disclosed by yourself or by other lawful means, provided that such processing is carried out within a reasonable scope in accordance with PIPL and does not have a significant impact on your rights and interests.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any of the following scenarios, we may only process your Personal Data with your separate consent:

(a) Disclosure of your Personal Data to other Data Controllers;

(b) Public disclosure of your Personal Data;

(c) Use of your image or identifying information collected from public places for any purpose other than safeguarding public security;

(d) Processing of your sensitive personal information (as described in PIPL); or

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a corporate reorganisation of the SSL Group as mentioned in the Section 5.5 “Who we give your information to” section, we may transfer your Personal Data without your consent but will inform you of the name and contact information of the recipient of your Personal Data, who shall continue to fulfill our duties as a Data Controller.

Data Export from the PRC

In order to comply with PIPL when exporting your Personal Data from the PRC (by ways of, including but without limitations, transferring your Personal Data outside the PRC or granting the overseas recipient access to your Personal Data stored in the PRC), we will take necessary measures to ensure that your Personal Data will be protected by the overseas recipient at a level at least up to the standards set by PIPL.

Subject to the volume and nature of the relevant data export involving your Personal Data, we will also meet at least one of the following requirements set by PIPL for exporting your Personal Data:

(a) Passing the data export security assessment conducted by CAC;

(b) Obtaining certification from a specialised institution under the applicable rules prescribed by CAC;

(c) Entering into a standard form contract formulated by CAC with the overseas recipient; and

  • Other circumstances provided by the applicable laws and administrative regulations; and

(f) To request us to explain and elaborate the Policy and any other rules on the processing of your Personal Data. Where our processing of your Personal Data is undertaken based on your consent, you would also have the right to withdraw such consent, but it shall not affect the effectiveness of our processing of your Personal Data which had already been undertaken before your withdrawal of consent.

Age Restriction

The website and/or business systems/applications are not intended for any individual under the age of fourteen (14). If we learn that we have collected or received any Personal Data from an individual under the age of fourteen (14), we will delete that information.

This New Zealand Addendum (“New Zealand Addendum”) supplements this Policy to the extent that the NZPA applies in relation to the processing of Personal Data in New Zealand by the SSL Group. In case of any inconsistences between this New Zealand Addendum and the rest of this Policy, this New Zealand Addendum prevails.

PERSONAL DATA UNDER THE NZPA

In this New Zealand Addendum, “Personal Data” has the same meaning as the definition of “personal information” in the NZPA. “Sensitive” personal information, although not expressly defined in the NZPA, is likely to include health, genetic, biometric and financial information that are inherently sensitive types of Personal Data. While there are no express obligations on entities who handle sensitive Personal Data, the privacy principles under the NZPA create a higher standard of protection for such information. The concept of a “Data Controller” does not exist under the NZPA.

DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA OVERSEAS?

We may share your Personal Data with overseas third parties. These recipients include:

  • our service providers who may handle, process or store your Personal Data on our behalf. For example, we may share your Personal Data with service providers who assist us with storing our data on data storage servers, or with improving our products and services;
  • law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities or other government authorities requiring your Personal Data for purposes such as state security, customs and immigration; and
  • other members of the SSL Group.

We only ever share your Personal Data outside of New Zealand where we are permitted to do so under the NZPA. Generally, this means either you have authorised us to do so or we believe that the Personal Data will be processed and safeguarded by the overseas entity in way that is comparable to the protections offered under the NZPA.

HOW CAN YOU ACCESS OR SEEK CORRECTION TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

You are entitled to request access to any of your Personal Data that we collect. To make such a request, please contact the Data Protection Officer using the contact details at Section 5.11 of the Policy.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Data that we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you consider any Personal Data that we have about you is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, you are also entitled to request correction of the Personal Data (again, please contact our Data Protection Officer). After receiving a request from you, we will take reasonable steps to correct your Personal Data.

We may decline your request to access or correct your Personal Data in certain circumstances in accordance with the NZPA. If we refuse your request, we will provide you with a reason for our decision. In addition, in the case we refuse your request for correction, we will include a statement about your request with the Personal Data we store.

DO WE USE OR SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING?

We (or any member of the SSL Group) will only send you direct marketing communications, information and offers about services that we think may interest you with your consent and in accordance with the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007. This may take the form of emails, SMS or other forms of communication. You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting our Data Protection Officer using the details set out in Section 5.11 of the Policy or by using the opt-out facilities provided in our communications (e.g. an unsubscribe link).

HOW CAN YOU MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE HANDLING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

You can exercise your rights above and raise any concerns or complaints you may have about this New Zealand Addendum or how we have handled your Personal Data, by contacting the Data Protection Officer at any time using the contact details at Section 5.11 of the Policy.

This Brazil Addendum (“Brazil Addendum”) supplements this Policy to the extent that the LGPD applies in relation to the processing of Personal Data in Brazil by the SSL Group. In case of any inconsistences between this Brazil Addendum and the rest of this Policy, this Brazil Addendum prevails.

PERSONAL DATA UNDER THE LGPD

In this Brazil Addendum, “Personal Data” has the same meaning as the definition of “personal data” in the LGPD. “Sensitive Personal Data”, as such term is defined under the LGPD, includes information relating to health, genetic, biometric, racial or ethnic origin, religious conviction, political opinion, union membership or organization of a religious, philosophical, or political information. The LGPD creates a higher standard of protection for Sensitive Personal Data and restricts its processing to certain authorized scenarios. The concept of “Data Controller” under the LGPD includes public or private individuals or legal entities, who are responsible for determining the purpose for which and manner in which Personal Data is processed. The concept of “Data Processor” shall have the same or equivalent meaning of “operator” as described in the LGPD.

DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA OVERSEAS?

We may share your Personal Data with overseas third parties. These recipients include:

  • our service providers who may handle, process or store your Personal Data on our behalf. For example, we may share your Personal Data with service providers who assist us with storing our data-on-data storage servers, or with improving our products and services;
  • law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities or other government authorities requiring your Personal Data for purposes such as state security, customs, and immigration; and
  • other members of the SSL Group.

We only ever share your Personal Data outside of Brazil where it is not in violation of LGPD. Generally, this means either you have authorised us to do so or we will take reasonable steps to ensure your Personal Data is treated securely and will be processed and safeguarded by the overseas entity in a way that is comparable to the protections offered under the LGPD.

HOW CAN YOU ACCESS OR SEEK CORRECTION TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

You are entitled to request access to any of your Personal Data that we collect. To make such a request, please contact the Data Protection Officer using the contact details at Section 5.11 of the Policy.

YOUR RIGHTS

(b) To request correction of your Personal Data, if you find it inaccurate or incomplete;
(c) To request the erasure, deletion, restriction from processing and/or anonymization of your Personal Data;
(d) To request us to provide information from Third Parties with whom your Personal Data has been shared; and
(e) To request us to provide information regarding the possibility for you to deny consent to the processing of your Personal Data.

Under PPIPS, “sensitive information” is defined as information that, due to its nature, including medical, biometric, or otherwise intimate information, or the context of its use or communication, entails a high level of reasonable expectation of privacy. The concepts of a “Data Controller” or “Data Processor” do not exist under PIPEDA, PIPA BC, PIPA AB or PPIPS.

DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF CANADA?

We may share your Personal Data with third parties located outside of Canada. These recipients include:

  • our service providers who may handle, process or store your Personal Data on our behalf. For example, we may share your Personal Data with service providers who assist us with storing our data-on-data storage servers, or with improving our products and services;
