The purposes for which we Process Personal Data, subject to applicable law, and the legal bases on which we perform such Processing, are as follows:

G. Disclosure of Personal Data to third parties

We disclose Personal Data to other entities within the Getac group, for legitimate business purposes and the operation of our Sites, Apps, products, or services to you, in accordance with applicable law. In addition, we disclose Personal Data to:

• you and, where appropriate, your appointed representatives;
• legal and regulatory authorities, upon request, or for the purposes of reporting any actual or suspected breach of applicable law or regulation;

If you choose to interact with any such advertising, plugins or content, your Personal Data may be shared with the relevant third party provider (e.g., LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook).

H. International transfer of Personal Data

Because of the international nature of our business, we transfer Personal Data within the Getac group, and to third parties as noted in Section (G) above, in connection with the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice. For this reason, we transfer Personal Data to other countries that may have different laws and data protection compliance requirements to those that apply in the country in which you are located. If an exemption or derogation applies (e.g., where a transfer is necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim) we may rely on that exemption or derogation, as appropriate. Where no exemption or derogation applies, and we transfer your Personal Data from the UK or the EEA to recipients located outside the UK or the EEA (as applicable) who are not in Adequate Jurisdictions, we do so on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses. You are entitled to request a copy of our Standard Contractual Clauses using the contact details provided in Section (Q) below.

Please note that when you transfer any Personal Data directly to any Getac entity established outside the UK or the EEA (as applicable), we are not responsible for that transfer of your Personal Data. We will nevertheless Process your Personal Data, from the point at which we receive those data, in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Notice.

I. Data security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, unauthorised access, and other unlawful or unauthorised forms of Processing, in accordance with applicable law.

Any Personal Data sent to us, either in writing or email, may be insecure in transit and we cannot guarantee its delivery. Passwords must be kept confidential and not disclosed to a third party. Getac does not ask you for your password.

Because the internet is an open system, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will implement all reasonable measures to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us using the internet – any such transmission is at your own risk and you are responsible for ensuring that any Personal Data that you send to us are sent securely.

J. Data accuracy

We take every reasonable step to ensure that:

• your Personal Data that we Process are accurate and, where necessary, kept up-to-date; and
• any of your Personal Data that we Process that are inaccurate (having regard to the purposes for which they are Processed) are erased or rectified without delay.

From time to time we may ask you to confirm the accuracy of your Personal Data.

K. Data minimisation

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Data that we Process are limited to the Personal Data reasonably necessary in connection with the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice.

L. Data retention

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Data are only Processed for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice. The criteria for determining the duration for which we will retain your Personal Data are as follows:

During the periods noted in paragraphs (2)(a) and (2)(b) above, we will restrict our Processing of your Personal Data to storage of, and maintaining the security of, those data, except to the extent that those data need to be reviewed in connection with any legal claim, or any obligation under applicable law.

Once the periods in paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) above, each to the extent applicable, have concluded, we will either:

• permanently delete or destroy the relevant Personal Data; or
• anonymize the relevant Personal Data.

M. Your legal rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the following rights regarding the Processing of your Relevant Personal Data:

• the right not to provide your Personal Data to us (however, please note that we will be unable to provide you with the full benefit of our Sites, Apps, products, or services, if you do not provide us with your Personal Data – e.g., we might not be able to process your requests without the necessary details);

• where we Process your Relevant Personal Data on the basis of your consent, the right to withdraw that consent (noting that such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any Processing performed prior to the date on which we receive notice of such withdrawal, and does not prevent the Processing of your Personal Data in reliance upon any other available legal bases); and
• the right to lodge complaints regarding the Processing of your Relevant Personal Data with a Data Protection Authority (in particular, the Data Protection Authority of the EU Member State in which you live, or in which you work, or in which the alleged infringement occurred, each if applicable).

This does not affect your statutory rights.

To exercise one or more of these rights, or to ask a question about these rights or any other provision of this Privacy Notice, or about our Processing of your Personal Data, please use the contact details provided in Section (Q) below. Please note that:

• in some cases it will be necessary to provide evidence of your identity before we can give effect to these rights; and
