Collecting and Processing Personal Information

CypherCrescent Information Technology Services collects and processes personal information that is necessary for legitimate business purposes, which will be disclosed to the data subject at the time of collection. CypherCrescent Information Technology Services will use and process this information only for the purposes for which it was collected, retaining the personal information only for so long as is required for the specific purpose for which the information was collected.

CypherCrescent Information Technology Services will not collect sensitive personal data except when permitted or required to do so by law, and will do so only for legitimate business purposes. If in any other instance a need arises to collect sensitive personal data, CITS will do so only with the data subject's express consent, which can be withdrawn at any time.

CITS will not sell, disclose or rent personal information for direct marketing purposes.

Transfer of Personal Information

CITS may transfer the personal information outside the data subject's home country when:

• it has the consent of the data subject.
• it is necessary or appropriate as permitted by law to do so because it is relevant to CITS dealings with the data subject.
• it is required by law.

CITS will implement reasonable measures to protect the security and confidentiality of personal information and provide an adequate level of protection in each of the locations where the information is transferred.

Onward Transfer

In limited circumstances, CITS may disclose personal information to a third party who is providing a service to CypherCrescent. CITS will only disclose personal information if the third party has provided satisfactory assurances to CITS of its ability to provide appropriate and sufficient data privacy and security safeguards to protect the personal information from unauthorized disclosure, use or loss. Where CITS learns that a third party is using or disclosing personal information in a manner contrary to this policy, CITS will take reasonable steps to discontinue such use or disclosure.

Disclosures to third parties will be only for the purposes described in this policy, for a compatible purpose, or for a purpose authorized by the data subject.

• meeting applicable legal requirements, or
