In limited circumstances, we collect special categories of Personal Data about you. Please see below in Section 4 (PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU) for details of these circumstances and Section 7 (HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA) for further details.

We collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of Personal Data about you. We have grouped together the following categories of Personal Data to explain how this type of information is used by us. These terms are used throughout this notice (collectively as “Personal Data”):

• "Identity Data": includes your name and preferred name;
• "Contact Data": includes your mailing address (county, city, district, street, detailed address and postcode), email address and telephone number;
• "Financial Data" *: includes your bank account and payment card details, billing address, payment method, and invoice / payment records. Please note that we use third-party payment providers, including Shop Pay, Stripe, Affirm, Afterpay, PayPal, and Google Pay, to process payments made to us;
• "Services Data": includes details about payments* to you and other details of services you have purchased from us;
• "Marketing and Communications Data": includes information on when you receive and read marketing communications from us. Additional information about the Personal Data we process in connection with marketing is included with the marketing communications we send you;
• "Profile Data": includes information about you, provided by you on our Site and/or Application including your usernames and passwords, user login token, your interests, biography, profile settings, marketing and communication preferences such as your preferred language of communication and content, alert and display preferences, content type and frequency of email alerts, content that interests you (including sectors, topics and jurisdictions), registered account, date of registration and current stage of registration, account status and level of access, and information from forms you fill in including responses to surveys and feedback provided;

• "Technical Data": includes technical information collected when you use our Service, which we have agreed with you to use, including your internet protocol (IP) address or domain names of the devices utilized, your login data, browser type and version, uniform resource identifier (URI) address, location information, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you are using;
• "Special Categories of Personal Data" *: includes Personal Data listed above in this Section 4 (PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU), which we process in limited circumstances, for example, where required to do so for legal or regulatory purposes or where you have provided us with such information as it is necessary for a specific service we are providing to you. We will process this Personal Data for the following reasons:
  • We may collect, use and share aggregated data, such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated data may be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this notice.
  • We may collect, use and share information from third-party authentication services or other third-party accounts you link to our services. Some of our Sites, Applications, products, or services may allow you to log in through a third-party social network or authentication service, such as Apple, Google, and Facebook. When you use these single sign-on services to access our Sites, Applications, products, or services, we do not receive your login credentials for the relevant third-party service. Instead, we receive tokens from the single sign-on service to help identify you in our system (such as by your username) and confirm you successfully authenticated with the single sign-on services. In addition to authenticating your identity, these services will, in most cases, provide you the option to share certain Personal Data with us, which could include your name, email address, address book, friend list and other contacts, or other information in your public profile (e.g., profile picture, age range, gender, language, country). The data we receive is dependent on that third party’s policies and your privacy settings on that third-party site;
  • We may collect, use and share feedback and support information including the contents of custom messages sent through the forms, email addresses, photographs or videos you file, or other contact information we make available to customers, as well as recordings of calls with us (where permitted by law);
  • We may collect, use and share Event, contest, promotion, and survey information including information provided when you sign up for an event, enter a contest or promotion, complete a survey or submit a testimonial;

Our Service are neither aimed at nor intended for, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children (as defined by applicable national laws). If a minor has provided us with personal information without parental or guardian consent, don't hesitate to contact us using the contact details in Section 3.

• For individuals based in mainland China: References to "special categories of Personal Data" shall be understood to refer to "sensitive personal information" (as shown with an "*" in the list of categories of Personal Data above) under Chinese laws. We only process sensitive personal information if and to the extent permitted or required by applicable laws, including after obtaining your separate consent if required. We will seek to protect such information rigorously using the security measures further described below and, therefore, your sensitive personal information should not be processed in a way that will result in negative implications to your personal rights, e.g. harm to your reputation, physical or mental health, personal or property security.

 

5. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA TO US

Where we need to collect Personal Data by law or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide the Personal Data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. In this case, we may have to decline to provide the relevant services, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time the Personal Data is collected.

 

6. HOW YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS COLLECTED

We use different methods to collect Personal Data from and about you, including through the channels set out below.

• Website, application and marketing: You provide us with your Personal Data, when you interact with any third-party content or advertising on our Sites and/ or Applications (including third-party plugins, cookies, server logs, or other similar technologies) we allow the relevant third party providers to collect your Personal Data. In exchange, we receive Personal Data from the relevant third-party provider relating to your interaction with that content or advertising.
• Third-party sources: We collect or obtain Personal Data from third parties who provide it to us (e.g., single sign-on providers and other authentication services you use to connect to our services, third-party providers of integrated services, your employer, other xTool’s customers, business partners, processors, and governmental or regulatory bodies or other authorities). In relation to the use of our Site, we may also receive Technical Data from analytics providers such as Google.
• Publicly available sources: We may collect the content you publish, or otherwise manifestly made public about us through our Application and platforms, your social media, or any other publicly available platforms.

We typically collect this information through a variety of tracking technologies, including (i) cookies or small data files that are stored on an individual’s computer and (ii) other, related technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies (collectively, “tracking technologies”) and we may use third-party partners or technologies to collect this information.

7. HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only process your Personal Data when the law allows us to, that is, when we have a legal basis for processing.

Subject to applicable laws, we use your Personal Data in the following circumstances:

• "performance of a contract": where we need to perform a contract which we are about to enter into or have entered into with you as a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract;
• "legal or regulatory obligation": where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to;
• "legitimate interests": where necessary for our interests (or those of a third party), provided that your fundamental rights do not override such interests. This can mean, for instance, that it is in our interest, to monitor how you are using our Service to ensure that the security of our Site and Application is maintained. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your Personal Data for our legitimate interests; and
• "consent": where you have provided your consent to processing your Personal Data.

We do not use your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us using the contact details in Section 3.

With limited exceptions (for instance, in relation to some of our electronic marketing), generally we do not rely on consent as the legal basis for processing your Personal Data. When we do, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Please refer to Section 10 (Marketing and exercising your right to opt-out of marketing) for more information about how we use your Personal Data for marketing purposes and your rights.

If you wish to receive an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us using the contact details in Section 3.

If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you, and we will explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.

10. MARKETING AND EXERCISING YOUR RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF MARKETING

We will not use your Personal Data to send you marketing materials if you have requested not to receive them. If you request that we stop processing your Personal Data for marketing purposes, we will stop processing your Personal Data for those purposes. We would encourage you to make such requests by contacting us using the contact details in Section 3.

We do not share your Personal Data with any organizations outside of Fumego for marketing purposes.

 

11. USE OF SITE

Our Site or Application may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our Site, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.

12. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Data. It is our policy to respect your rights and we will act promptly and in accordance with any applicable law, rule or regulation relating to the processing of your Personal Data.

Details of your rights are set out below:

• right to restrict the processing of Personal Data in certain circumstances – you have a right to block the processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances. This right arises if you are disputing the accuracy of Personal Data, if you have raised an objection to processing, if the processing of Personal Data is unlawful and you oppose erasure and request restriction instead or if the Personal Data is no longer required by us but you require the Personal Data to be retained to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim;
• right to data portability – in certain circumstances, you can request to receive a copy of your Personal Data in a commonly used electronic format. This right only applies to Personal Data that you have provided to us (for example, by completing a form or providing information through a website). Information about you which has been gathered by monitoring your behaviour will also be subject to the right to data portability. The right to data portability only applies if the processing is based on your consent or if the Personal Data must be processed for the performance of a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means (i.e. electronically);

You may exercise any of your rights using the contact details set out in Section 3. You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one calendar month (or earlier in accordance with applicable laws). Occasionally it may take us longer than one calendar month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Fumego is a part of a corporate organization that has several legal entities (collectively, "Fumego entities"), business processes, management structures, and technical systems.

Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them.

In some cases, the parties which we use to process Personal Data on our behalf are based outside the EEA, therefore their processing of your Personal Data will involve a transfer of such data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• we will only transfer your Personal Data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission (in the case of transfers out of the EEA); and/or
• where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission (in the case of transfers out of the EEA), in both cases which give Personal Data the same protection it has within the EEA.

For individuals based in mainland China: In due course, we will publish a list of the recipients to provide notice of the parties that can independently determine processing purposes and methods when processing your Personal Data, including their contact details and details on what, how and why such recipients process your Personal Data. Should you require such information in the meantime, please contact us using the contact details in Section 3.

 

15. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for. This includes for example the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements, to carry out legal work, for the establishment or defense of legal claims.

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

If you would like to know more about the retention periods we apply to your Personal Data, please contact us using the contact details in Section 3.
