Data Rights & Obligations

The rights of data subjects, the quality standards for data, retention practices, and Client’s legal obligations, forming a comprehensive framework for data rights and responsibilities.

01

Your Rights
(PP Section 14 & T&C Clause 15)

Request what information we hold on you

You may request access to your personal information to receive a copy of the personal information that we hold on you.

Updating or removing

You may choose to correct or update the personal information you have submitted to us, by clicking the relevant menu in any of the pages on our website or contacting us by phone or email.

Withdrawal of consent or objection to processing

You may withdraw your consent where we are relying on consent as a lawful justification to process. You may also object to our processing where we are relying on another lawful justification for processing. Please note that if you do so, we might not be able to provide services to you.

We may need to request additional information from you to verify your identity for you to access these rights. This is to ensure that your personal information is not disclosed to an unauthorized person.

15.14 Responsible party

Client acknowledges that it is and remains responsible for the lawfulness of Client Data it provides and for determining the purpose and means of BEE123 processing Client Data.

02

Data Quality & Accuracy
(PP Section 11 & T&C Clause 15)

Accurate and current

We strive to keep the personal information we collect as accurate, current, complete, confidential and reliable for the purposes defined in this policy. From time to time, we may request that you update your personal information on the website. You can review or update any personal information we hold on you by accessing your account online, emailing us, or phoning us. Please note that to protect you better and safeguard your personal information, we verify your identity before granting you access to your account or making any corrections to your personal information.

Please keep your personal information accurate and up to date by accessing your account online, emailing us, or by phoning us.

15.12 Client owns Client Data

Client owns Client Data but gives BEE123 a right to use it to provide the Services when Client provides BEE123 with access to it. BEE123 does not own any Client Data. However, BEE123 does own its derived data. Client Data does not include any derived data that BEE123 creates for its own internal purposes. Derived data is any of BEE123’s own data that BEE123 creates from Client Data, such as through aggregation, de-identification, or anonymisation.

03

Data Retention
(PP Section 12 &T&C Clause 15)

Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes explicitly set out in this policy, unless:

retention of the record is required or authorised by law; or

you have consented to the retention of the record.

During the period of retention, we will continue to abide by our non-disclosure obligations and will not share or sell your personal information.

We may retain your personal information in physical or electronic records at our discretion.

15.15 Return of data

On termination of any proposal, each party will return to the other party in the form in which it was received all of the other party’s data or information provided to the party for the purpose of performing the relevant proposal, unless a party is otherwise required by applicable law to retain a copy of the data. In such case, the receiving party will continue to perform its responsibilities under this clause until such time as it is legally permissible to return or destroy the data.

04
