We may also need to share personal information with other parties, such as external contractors and our professional advisers and potential purchasers of some or all of our business or on a re-structuring. Usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible. We may also be required to share some personal information as required to comply with the law.

HOW LONG YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL BE KEPT

We will keep your personal information while we are providing any Services to you (including any marketing or newsletter services) or whilst we have a business relationship with our business partner, licensee or supplier of which you are a staff member, officer, or agent. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary:

  • to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf

  • to show that we treated you fairly

  • to keep records required by law

We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy and when it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymise it.

REASONS WE CAN USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

This section addresses the legal basis for processing your personal data. The legal bases on which we rely in each instance where we collect and use your personal data, generally, are:

  • as necessary to fulfil and enforce our Terms of Use and any other contract we have with you (such as if you supply goods or services to us)

  • consistent with your consent, which, for newsletters and marketing you may revoke at any time in the Subscription Centre, which can be accessed by clicking the ‘Unsubscribe’ option at the bottom of our emails or by clicking ‘Change contact preferences’ in your profile (if you have a ulivohk.com account) – if you’re having any issues unsubscribing please email info@ulivohk.com

  • as necessary for our (or others’) legitimate interests, including our interests in providing safe Website/Services, fraud detection, tailoring your experience on our Websites/Services, knowing how customers use our Website/Services and products, keeping our Websites/Services updated and relevant, developing our business and informing our marketing strategy, and managing our relationships and fulfilling contracts with business partners, licensees and suppliers, but only if these are not overridden by your interests, rights or freedoms.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance you have a number of important rights. In summary, you have the right to access your personal data and require that we rectify any errors in the data that we hold, or request that we erase your personal data subject to certain limitations. In some circumstances, you can also require that we restrict the way we process your personal data, object to its processing or request a copy of your personal data (at your own expenses). Where we have requested and obtained your consent to process particular information, you may withdraw that consent at any time. However, if we do not hold all the data we need to administer contracts, orders, competitions or challenges you entered into, we may not be able to provide you with these benefits any longer.

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please send your request to us via either of the methods described below under “How to Contact us” and:

  • let us have enough information to identify you (e.g. your full name and contact details – including your email address); and

  • let us know what right you want to exercise and the information to which your request relates (e.g. details of the specific information you require and any relevant dates).

KEEPING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We continually test our systems to make sure the level of security matches any risk and we run regular security tests.
