How long do we retain your information?

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations (for example, to comply with obligations relating to invoicing and taxes).  We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is specified in any relevant contract between you and us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not reasonably possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information on hardened servers that are hosted on highly secure data centres, and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Your choices.

We will not contact you for marketing purposes by email or phone except (i) as necessary to enter into a contract or fulfil our obligations under a contract, (ii) with your permission, or (iii) for legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law.  We will provide an unsubscribe option on all marketing emails you receive from us. You may also contact us at compliance@cafex.com to unsubscribe or if you have any other questions or concerns regarding your receipt of marketing materials from us.

Accessing and correcting your information.

You may contact us at compliance@cafex.com with any request to access, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We make good faith efforts to honour reasonable requests to access, correct or delete your personal information. We may not accommodate a request to remove personal information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

Data Security.

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure, hardened servers that are hosted on highly secure data centers. Access to this data is protected by multiple layers of controls, including firewalls, authentication mechanisms and monitoring.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our websites. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on our websites.

Children’s Privacy.

We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parental or guardian consent. If you believe that we may have collected personal information from someone under the applicable age of consent in your country without proper consent, please contact us at compliance@cafex.com and we will take appropriate measures to investigate and address the issue promptly.

Consent to transfer, process and storing of personal information.

As CafeX is a global organization, we may transfer your personal information to CafeX in the United States, to our subsidiary in the United Kingdom, or to third parties and business partners as described above that are located in various countries around the world. By using our websites or providing any personal information to us, where applicable law permits, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of such information outside of your country of residence where data protection standards may be different.
