8. INFORMATION RETENTION

We act as a data processor under applicable laws. We will retain and use your personal data as necessary to comply with our organisational functioning, legal obligations, resolve disputes, and fulfill our obligations.

9. DATA SECURITY

Please note that while there are always risks associated with providing Personal Information, whether in person, by phone or over the Internet or any other media or terminal, and no system of technology is completely safe, “tamper” or “hacker-proof”, we have endeavored to take appropriate measures to prevent and minimize risks of unauthorized access to, improper use and the inaccuracy of your Personal Information.

Access by you to your account is available through a password and unique user Id selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone, that you change your password often using a combination of letters and numbers, and that you ensure you use a secure web browser. We cannot be held accountable for activity that results from your own neglect to safeguard the secrecy of your password and username. If you share a computer with anyone, you should always log out of your account after you are finished to prevent access to your information from subsequent users of that computer. Please notify Customer Support as soon as possible if your username or password is compromised.

In addition, the IYA has implemented various other security measures to protect your data. These include secure and complex passwords for accessing the system and databases, safe and secure programming practices and principles, regular backups and training of our Data processing personnel.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal data, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Website cannot be guaranteed and we shall have no liability to you or any third party for loss, misuse, disclosure or alteration of such information; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.

In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your personal data in our control may have been compromised, we will try to notify you. To the extent you have provided us with your email address, we may notify you by email and you agree to our use of email as a means of such notification. If you prefer for us to use another method to notify you in this situation, please contact us with the alternative contact information you wish to be used.
