The data that we collect from you may be stored in the cloud (Amazon Web Services).

By providing your consent to this policy, you also authorise us to transfer your personal data provided to third parties with the understanding that the data may be used for the purpose stated in our contracts or terms of engagement with you.

We assure you that we will protect your personal data in our possession, and we confirm that the security measures in place are more than adequate to protect your personal data. We confirm that we take appropriate physical, management, and technical measures, such as the establishment of the access control system and monitoring system, encryption, anonymisation or pseudonymisation, employee training, to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, use, disclosure, modification, damage, loss, or other forms of illegal processing. By submitting your personal data, you also agree to the collection, transfer, storing or processing of your personal data in the manner set out above.

Where we have given you or where you have chosen a password that enables you to access certain parts of Our Service Sites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to Our Service Sites; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

K. Data Security.

We implement and maintain appropriate safeguards to protect personal data, taking into account in particular the risks to you, presented by unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction of, or damage to their personal data.

Safeguarding will include the use of encryption and pseudonymisation where appropriate. It also includes protecting confidentiality (i.e., that only those who need to know and are authorised to use personal data have access to it), integrity and availability of the personal data. We regularly evaluate and test the effectiveness of those safeguards to ensure the security of our processing of personal data. You should be aware, however, that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect the security of your information and are constantly reviewing and enhancing our information security measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Klump Technology Company Ltd therefore, accepts no liability for any damage or loss, however caused, in connection with transmission over the internet or electronic storage.

L. Links to third party sites.

Our Service Sites may contain links to other websites owned and operated by third parties. These links are provided for your information and convenience only and are not an endorsement by Klump Technology Company Ltd of the content of such linked websites or third parties. The information that we collect from you will become available to these websites if you click the link to the websites. These linked websites are neither under our control nor our responsibility. Klump Technology Company Ltd therefore, makes no warranties or representations, express or implied about the safety of such linked websites, the proprietors or operators of those websites, and the suitability or quality of information contained on them. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these websites, thus, if you decide to access these linked third party websites and/or make use of the information contained on them, you do so entirely at your own risk. Klump Technology Company Ltd accepts no liability for any damage or loss, however caused, in connection with accessing, the use of or reliance on any information, material, products or services contained on or accessed through any such linked website. We advise that you contact those websites directly for information on their privacy policy, security, data collection and distribution policies.

Notwithstanding, a request for erasure will automatically be denied in whole or in part, where it would adversely affect a constitutionally guaranteed right, contradict a legal obligation, act against the public interest in the area of public health, act against the public interest in the area of scientific or historical research, or prohibit the establishment of a legal defence or exercise of other legal claims by KLUMP or any legitimate third party.
