Please not that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is requested or permitted by law.

SEQ may share your personal information with third parties, either because you have explicitly consented to allow us to do so or we are    required by law or it is necessary to administer the working relationship with you or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so.

We require third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the

For example, we may share your personal information with:

• Our group companies, which means our subsidiaries, or our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries. We will share your personal information with other group companies as part of our regular reporting activities on company performance, in the context of a business reorganisation or group restructuring exercise, for system maintenance support and hosting of data and Competent Authorities in accordance with the law.

If SEQ or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, personal data held by SEQ about its customers will be one of the transferred assets. In addition, SEQ will share your personal data with third parties for the following reasons:

• We will exchange information with other companies or organizations to prevent fraud or to reduce our credit risks.

SEQ may, from time to time, provide third parties with data that has been aggregated or anonymized.

This means that your personal information that could be used to identify you have been removed from the data. Data provided to third parties in this way is not personal data; however, you do keep your right to object to this use.

We have put in place measures to protect the security of your information. Details of these measures are available upon request from enquiries@nerin.co.im .

Third parties will only process your personal information on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

We primarily store and process your personal data in the EU/European Economic Area (“EEA”). If we do transfer your personal data outside the EEA it will be because you have explicitly consented or because we have a legal reason to do so.
Some examples of reasons your data may be processed outside of the EEA include:

• Technical support services
• Communication with our subsidiaries, or our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries,

If your personal data cannot be processed within the EEA, we will:

• Comply with all other data protection principles

Where possible, be to a country that is on the list of the EU Commissions’ countries that provide adequate protections for the rights and freedoms of data subjects

• Make sure we have assessed the adequacy of protections in all other cases.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we use best practice to ensure your data is encrypted to the standard required in the GDPR to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data as it is transmitted and stored.

SEQ will not retain your personal information for longer than required to fulfil the purpose we collected it for including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal information are available from enquiries@nerin.co.im.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm form unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.

In general we will keep your personal information:

• For as long as required by law
• Until we no longer have a valid reason for keeping it
• Until you request us to stop using it.
• We may keep just enough of your personal information to ensure that we comply with your requests not use your personal information or comply with your right to erasure. For example, we must keep your request to be erased even if it includes your personal data until such time as you are no longer our customer.
