(b) to third-party service providers and other organizations, we have engaged to perform any of the functions with reference to the above-mentioned purposes.

3. WITHDRAWING YOUR CONSENT

3.1

The consent that you provide for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data will remain valid until such time it is being withdrawn by you in writing. You may withdraw consent and request us to stop collecting, using and/or disclosing your personal data for any or all of the purposes listed above by submitting your request via email to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details provided below.

3.2

Upon receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, we may require reasonable time (depending on the complexity of the request and its impact on our relationship with you) for your request to be processed and for us to notify you of the consequences of us acceding to the same, including any legal consequences which may affect your rights and liabilities to us. In general, we will seek to process your request within ten (10) business days of receiving it.

3.3

Whilst we respect your decision to withdraw your consent, please note that depending on the nature and scope of your request, we may not be in a position to continue providing our goods or services to you and we shall, in such circumstances, notify you before completing the processing of your request. If you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent, please inform us in writing in the manner described in clause 3.1 above.

3.4

Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect our right to continue to collect, use and disclose personal data where such collection, use and disclosure without consent is permitted or required under applicable laws.

4. PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

4.1

To safeguard your personal data from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks, we have introduced appropriate administrative, physical and technical measures such as up-to-date antivirus protection, encryption, use of privacy filters, and disclosing personal data both internally and to our authorised third-party service providers only on a need-to-know basis. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While security cannot be guaranteed, we will strive to protect the security of your information and are constantly reviewing and enhancing our information security measures.
