Our products do not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity, both while you are using the products and after you leave our site.

This will include your device information, details of the incident experienced, your screen resolution and any comments that you add to the incident. This information is processed by a third party that is GDPR compliant.
2.10 Transferring data internationally:
In order to provide our goods and services, we may need to transfer your information from your country of residence to another country in the usual course of our business. By dealing with us and submitting your personal information, you agree to the transfer, storage, and/or processing of your personal information outside of your country of residence.
We will only transfer your personal information to those third parties that may be required to renders services to assist in completion of your tasks and in such event we select providers that can protect your privacy and your rights, for example, the third party is located in a country which the EU has deemed to have adequate data protection laws in place, or where we may have a contract in place with that third party which includes the European Commission’s standard data protection clause

We will only use your Personal Data if we have a lawful basis for doing so. Use of personal information under EU data protection laws must be justified under one of a number of legal “grounds” and we are required to set out the ground in respect of each use of your personal data in this policy. These are the principal grounds that justify our use of your information:
3.1 Consent: where you have consented to our use of your information (you provide explicit, informed, freely given consent, in relation to any such use and you may withdraw your consent in the circumstance detailed below by notifying us);
3.2 Contract performance: where your information is necessary to enter into or perform our contract with you;

If you are using the Programme on behalf of a third party, you must have obtained clear permission from the individuals whose data you provide us with before sharing that data with us. For the avoidance of any doubt, any reference in this privacy policy to your data shall include data about other individuals that you have provided to us.
4. WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
The personal data that we collect from you is generally processed in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), United Kingdom and Switzerland and stored on Amazon Web Services (Ireland) cloud servers. Your personal data may however need to be processed by staff operating in countries that are outside of the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland, If your personal data is transferred to a country or territory other than the aforementioned, such transfers will only take place if: (a) the country ensures an adequate level of data protection; (b) one of the conditions listed in Article 46 of the GDPR (or its equivalent under any successor legislation) is satisfied; or ( c) the personal data is transferred on the basis that the data processing party has appropriate safeguards in place for the transfer and processing of such personal data.
Your passwords are stored on our servers in encrypted form. We do not disclose your account details. It is your responsibility to keep your password secure. 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 mobile app, and 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 any unauthorised access.
5. HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR CUSTOMER ACCOUNT DATA
We will store your Customer Account Data as long as needed to provide you with our services and to operate our business. If you ask us to delete specific personal information from your Customer Account, we will honour this request unless deleting that information prevents us from carrying out necessary business functions, like billing for our services, calculating taxes, or conducting required audits.
Customer Account Data stored in our system(s) is generally stored up to 7 years following closure of your account unless there is a specific need or obligation to retain your information longer (like in the case of an open investigation, audit or other legal matter).
Invoice records, including their digital equivalent, may be retained in identifying form by us for longer periods for accounting, tax, and audit purposes depending on and in accordance with applicable tax law.
6. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

7. SECURITY
We believe the security of your information is a serious issue and we are committed to protecting the information we receive from you. We use commercially reasonable security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of your information under our control based on the type of Personal Data and applicable processing activity, such as data encryption in transit, and enforcement of least privilege and need-to-know principles.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Programme. It does not apply to products, services, or sites that are provided by or operated by third parties, even if such products, services or sites are linked or redirected to or from the Programme (“Third-Party Sites”), regardless of whether or not such link or redirection is authorized by us. Third-Party Sites or Apps may have their own policies regarding privacy, or no policy at all. The fact that we link to a Third-Party Site is not an endorsement, authorisation, or representation that we are affiliated with that third party. We are not responsible for Third-Party Sites, and you use them at your own risk. We encourage you to read the privacy policies and terms of the Third-Party Sites that you visit or use.
9. WHAT RIGHTS AND CHOICES DO YOU HAVE REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
UUnder Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2017/676, you have various rights in relation to your personal data. All of these rights can be exercised by contacting us at enquiries@inzonetech.com
You have certain rights with respect to your Personal Data, and we want to help you review and update your information to ensure it is accurate and up-to-date. We may limit or reject your request in certain cases, such as if it is frivolous or extremely impractical, if it jeopardises the rights of others, if it is not required by law, or if the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question. In some cases, we may also need you to provide us with additional information, which may include Personal Data, to verify your identity and the nature of your request. We will take reasonable steps to respond to all requests within 30 days (or less!). You can also contact us directly at enquiries@inzonetech.com if you have any additional requests or questions:
9.1 Right to rectification:
If you believe that any Personal Data we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that we correct or supplement such data.

You can ask for a copy of your Personal Data in a machine-readable format. You can also request that we transmit the data to another controller where technically feasible. For the following, please email us at enquiries@inzonetech.com
9.4 Right to restriction of processing / Withdrawal of consent:
If we are processing your Personal Data based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note, however, that if you exercise this right, you may have to then provide express consent on a case-by-case basis for the use or disclosure of certain of your Personal Data, if such use or disclosure is necessary to enable you to utilise some or all of the Programme. You can ask us to restrict further processing of your Personal Data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint about our practices with respect to your Personal Data with the supervisory authority of your country or EU Member State.
9.5 Right to complain:
You can contact us to let us know that you object to the further use or disclosure of your Personal Data for certain purposes, such as for marketing purposes.
9.6 Closing Your Account:
You may close an account, and upon termination of your User Account, we will take reasonable steps to provide, modify, or delete your Personal Data as soon as is practicable. However, we may nevertheless retain your Personal Data to protect our business interests, our affiliates, vendors, and other users, and some information may remain in archived/backup copies for our records or as otherwise required by law. Those interests include without limitation the completion of transactions, maintaining records for financial reporting purposes, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.
We will not retain Personal Information for a period longer than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected or processed and is required to delete, destroy (in such a way that it cannot be reconstructed) or de-identify the information as soon as is reasonably practicable once the purpose has been achieved. This prohibition will not apply in the following circumstances:
Accordingly, we will, subject to the exceptions noted herein, retain Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which that Personal Information was collected and/or as permitted or required by applicable law.
Where we retain Personal Information for longer periods for statistical, historical or research purposes, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards have been put in place to ensure that all recorded Personal Information will continue to be Processed in accordance with this Policy and the applicable laws.
Once the purpose for which the Personal Information was initially collected and Processed no longer applies or becomes obsolete, we will ensure that the Personal
Information is deleted, destroyed or de-identified sufficiently so that a person cannot re-identify such Personal Information.
In instances where we de-identify your Personal Information, we may use such de-identified information indefinitely.
We will not ordinarily charge you in respect of any requests we receive to exercise any of your rights detailed above; however, if you make excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded requests, we may charge you an administration fee in order to process such requests or refuse to act on such requests. Where we are required to provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing this will be free of charge; however, any further copies requested may be subject to reasonable fees based on administrative costs.
Asking us to stop processing your personal data or deleting your personal data will likely mean that you are no longer able to use the Programme, or at least those aspects of the Programme which require the processing of the types of personal data you have asked us to delete, which may result in you no longer being able to use the Programme.
