Where we need the information to carry out the terms of a contract we have with you, where it is in our legitimate interests (such as, but not limited to, responding to communications, attracting new customers and prospects, running our business and developing new business, keeping our records updated), and where such interests are not overridden by your data protection interests, we will collect personal information from you. We may be required by law to request certain types of information from you.

Please contact us using the details given in the "Contact Information" section below if you have any queries regarding, or need any more information about, the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information.

Any data acquired in connection with the Website or an Event is stored and processed by Get Swarms Ltd in (i)any country where we have facilities, (ii)any country where we employ service providers, or (iii)any country where Events are place.

When transferring your personal information beyond the European Economic Area ("EEA"), we will take the following security measures to ensure its safety if you are a visitor from the EEA:

Processing it in a country whose data protection laws the European Commission has deemed to be adequate; or putting in place suitable safeguards, such as the use of Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism approved by the European Commission, to ensure the security of your personal information.

Please contact us using the details provided in the "Contact Information" section if you have any questions concerning the personal data we send internationally.

Security and Confidentiality

 

Personal information collected through the Website and in connection with Events is kept secure by Get Swarms Ltd, which takes the matter seriously and takes the necessary technological and organisational precautions to do so.

 

To prevent the accidental or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, incorrect use or disclosure, unauthorised modification, and access to Personal Data under our control, we have put in place security policies, guidelines, and technological means.

 

Data processors (those who handle your Personal Data on our behalf) and staff are also bound by confidentiality obligations in relation to the Personal Data of all visitors to the Website and customers of the Services. We take precautions to protect your personal information that are commensurate with the severity of the threat posed by using it.

 

Risks to information security, like the procedures to mitigate them, are always developing and improving. Internal and external audits are used to conduct regular checks on the effectiveness of the controls that have been put in place. If you have issues concerning the security of your Personal Data, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Information” section below


Retention

 

Your information will be kept for as long as it takes to achieve the goals for which it was collected, as described in this Notice. For the duration of any required legal proceedings, to ensure the accuracy of our financial and other records, to respond to complaints, and to monitor and enforce compliance with our terms and conditions, we will also keep your personal information.

 

In the event that we collect and utilise Personal Information for a limited time only (for example, in connection with a particular activity, promotion, or marketing campaign), we will not keep this information for longer than necessary. To ensure that we do not send you any more marketing messages after you have requested to opt out, we will need to keep some information about you on an indefinitely maintained suppression list. To be clear, until you re-opt in to receiving marketing communications, we will not utilise the Personal Data you have provided to send you marketing communications.

 

If you apply for a position with us, we must preserve your information from the application for a certain time for administrative and legal considerations. We may also keep your information (according to rules in your country) to get in touch with you if a job opens up for which we believe you would be a good fit. Applicants will be given further details and asked for permission to proceed if and when required by local law.

 

For legitimate business purposes, such as evidence of our business practises and contractual obligations, to provide you with information about our products and services, or to comply with applicable law, we may retain your personal data in our systems and records after you and/or your company have terminated the contractual relationship with us or otherwise ended your relationship with us.

 

When we no longer need your personal information to provide you with our services or comply with a legal obligation, we will either delete, anonymize, or aggregate it or, if this is not possible (for instance, if your information is located in backup archives), then we will ensure its security by protecting it from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. Please get in touch with us via the "Contact Information" section below if you have any questions concerning the retention periods that apply to your specific situation.

 

Third Party Websites and Applications

 

External links on this website may take you away from the GetSwarms LTD site. Thus, this Privacy Statement does not cover information collection practises of any third party sites or third party applications that may connect to or be accessible via the Website. Information acquired by customers, our business partners, and other third parties or third party apps or services, even if gathered through our Website or during Events, is not covered by this Privacy Statement.

 

Children’s Privacy

 

Our sites and services do not target anybody under the age of 16, and we do not intentionally collect any personal information from minors under the age of 16. In no event should anybody under the age of 16 provide any personally-identifiable information while using our Services or visiting our Website. Please get in touch with us using the details provided in the "Contact Information" section below if you are the parent or guardian of a minor child who you feel may have exposed personal data to us online. We will quickly delete any information we have found to have been acquired from a kid under the age of 16.

 

Do Not Track

Due in part to the fact that there is currently no widely accepted technological standard for DNT signals, Get Swarms cannot ensure that it will always react to such signals from a Visitor's browser. We maintain a close eye on the ever-changing DNT technological landscape and keep up with the ever-changing DNT industry standards.

Please check back with us from time to time to ensure that you are aware of any modifications we may have made to the Privacy Statement.
