3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.

For EU or UK Users:

Under GDPR and UK GDPR, our processing of your data rests on these lawful grounds:

  • Consent: Your personal data is processed because you have given us clear consent for specific purposes. Remember, you have the right to withdraw this consent anytime.
  • Contractual Necessity: If we have a contract with you, we will process your personal data as necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations. This includes responding to your requests as part of pre-contractual inquiries.
  • Legitimate Interests: We balance our business interests against your rights and freedoms and only process your data for legitimate interests when they do not override your interests. These interests include improving our services and understanding how you use our platform.
  • Compliance with Legal Obligations: Sometimes, the law requires us to process your data, such as for tax compliance, cooperating with regulatory bodies, or establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.
  • Vital Interests: Rarely, we might process your data to protect someone's life, which could include situations of urgency or emergency.

5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: Your personal information is retained only for the period necessary to serve the purposes mentioned in this privacy notice and as required by relevant laws.

We're committed to handling your personal information responsibly. The duration for which we store your data is carefully determined based on the reasons for which it was collected, as outlined in this notice, and in adherence to legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Importantly, we will not retain your personal information for longer than the duration of your account's activity with us, except if law mandates or permits a longer retention period.

Proactive Steps for Data Management:

  • Deletion and Anonymization: When there's no longer a business need to keep your personal information, we take steps to either permanently delete it or anonymize it. This is done to ensure that your privacy is maintained.
  • Secure Storage for Inaccessible Data: In instances where immediate deletion is not possible (e.g., information stored in backup archives), we ensure your data is securely stored and segregated to prevent any processing until we can achieve deletion.

Upon closing your account with DocuAsk, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal information. However, we may need to retain certain information for a specified period to comply with legal requirements. Rest assured, in such cases, your data is securely handled and access to it is restricted.

Our practices around data retention are constantly reviewed and updated to align with legal changes and best practices in data protection. This proactive approach ensures that your data is not kept longer than necessary, reflecting our commitment to data privacy and security.

For any concerns or requests related to the management of your personal data, including its deletion, feel free to contact us. Your trust in our platform is paramount, and we're here to ensure your rights are fully respected.

6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We are dedicated to safeguarding your personal information with a blend of organisational and technological measures.

At DocuAsk, your privacy and security are paramount. We've established a robust security framework, employing both technical measures and organisational procedures, aimed at protecting your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security measures include but are not limited to encryption, access control, secure software development practices, and regular security assessments.

Despite our rigorous security protocols, it's important to recognize that no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is infallible. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, absolute security cannot be guaranteed. We encourage you to play a proactive role in keeping your information safe, such as choosing strong passwords and not sharing your login credentials.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement: Acknowledging the evolving nature of cyber threats, we continuously refine and enhance our security measures in aiming to align with global best practices and compliance standards, including the PDPA of Singapore, GDPR of Europe, and CCPA of the USA. Our dedication to your data's security is unwavering, and we're committed to adapting our strategies to meet and exceed current protection standards.

Should you have concerns about the security of your information or if you suspect a security breach, we urge you to contact us immediately at joseph@docuask.ai.

User Responsibility: While we do our utmost to secure your data, it's crucial that you also take steps to protect yourself online. This includes being cautious about the personal information you share and maintaining the confidentiality of your account details.

DocuAsk is committed to protecting the privacy of young individuals. As such, we consciously avoid collecting, processing, or marketing to children under 18 years of age.
