10. How do we protect your personal data?
We, or 3rd parties we work with, implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal data when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal data. We use a secure server. When payments are processed, all payment or credit information provided by you is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment processing service providers’ database(s) which are only accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. Your private information (such as credit card information) is never kept by Cyber Sierra. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit via Cyber Sierra’s payment processing service provider(s) or guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a breach of any physical, technical, or managerial safeguards implemented by Cyber Sierra and/or our payment processing service providers.

11. Could my personal data be transferred to other countries?
Cyber Sierra is incorporated in Singapore. Information collected via our Website, Products or Services or through direct interactions with you, or from use of our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. When transferred outside of Singapore, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data continues to receive a standard of protection that is at least comparable to that provided under the Personal Data Protection Act of Singapore.

12. Is the personal data collected secure?
We take precautions to protect the security of your personal data. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

13. Can I update or correct my personal data?
You have the right to withdraw your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your personal data, or request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personal data. You can contact us in order to

(1) update or correct your personal data,
(2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or
(3) delete the personal data maintained about you on our systems (subject to the following paragraph), by cancelling your account.

Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal data stored in databases we actively use, and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically practicable.

14. Sale of Business
We reserve the right to transfer your personal data to any third party in the event of a sale, merger, re-organisation or transfer of any of the assets of Cyber Sierra or any of its Corporate Affiliates, or in the event that we discontinue our business or file a petition or have filed against us a petition for liquidation, winding-up, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding, provided that any such third party agrees to comply with this Policy.

15. Affiliates
We may disclose information (including personal data) about you to our Corporate Affiliates. Any information relating to you that we provide to our Corporate Affiliates will be treated by those Corporate Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Policy.

16. Young Persons’ Privacy
We do not market to or address anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If any parent or guardian is aware that a child has provided Cyber Sierra with personal data, please contact us.

17. Changes to Our Data Protection Policy
We may change our Website, Products and Services and policies, and we may need to make changes to this Policy so that they accurately reflect our Website, Products and Services and policies.

19. Information about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
We may be collecting and using information from you if you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), and in this section of our Policy we are going to explain exactly how and why is this data collected, and how we maintain this data under protection from being replicated or used in the wrong way.

What is GDPR?
GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents’ data is protected by companies and enhances the control EU residents have over their personal data.

The GDPR is relevant to any globally operating company and not just the EU-based businesses and EU residents. Our customers’ data is important irrespective of where they are located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all our operations worldwide.

What is personal data?
Under the GDPR, personal data is any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person’s name or email address. Some examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.

The Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:

  • Personal data collected must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way and should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
  • Personal data should only be collected to fulfil a specific purpose and it should only be used for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need the personal data when they collect it.
  • Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfil its purpose.
  • People covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They can also request a copy of their data, and that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.

Why is GDPR important?
GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies should protect individuals’ personal data that they collect and process. At Cyber Sierra we strongly believe that your data privacy is very important and we already have solid security and privacy practices in place that go beyond the requirements of this new regulation.

Individual Data Subject’s Rights – Data Access, Portability and Deletion
We are committed to meeting the data subject rights requirements of GDPR. Cyber Sierra processes or stores all personal data with fully vetted vendors which comply with the requirements of the GDPR. We do store all conversation and personal data for up to 6 years unless your account is deleted. In which case, we dispose of all data in accordance with our Policy, but we will not hold it longer than 60 days. We also provide you with the ability to access, update, retrieve and remove your personal data.

California Residents
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires us to disclose categories of personal data we collect and how we use it, the categories of sources from whom we collect personal data, and the third parties with whom we share it, which we have explained above.
We are also required to communicate information about rights California residents have under California law. If you are a resident of California, you may exercise the following rights:

  • Right to Know and Access. You may submit a verifiable request for information regarding the: (1) categories of personal data we collect, use, or share; (2) purposes for which categories of personal data are collected or used by us; (3) categories of sources from which we collect personal data; and (4) specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you.
  • Right to Equal Service. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your privacy rights.
  • Right to Delete. You may submit a verifiable request to close your account and we will delete personal data about you that we have collected.
  • Request that a business that sells a consumer’s personal data, not sell the consumer’s personal data.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

We do not sell the personal data of our users.
For more information about these rights, please contact us.
