Sometimes we may need to send or store your data outside of the United Kingdom and occasionally we pass data outside the UK to assist in the provision of our contracts and services. While countries outside the UK do not always have strong data protection laws, we require all services providers to process your information in a secure manner and in accordance with UK law on data protection.

Security Measures

We use commercially reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your Personal Data. Ikconect provides various security strategies to effectively ensure data security of user and device.

As for device access, Ikconect proprietary algorithms are employed to ensure data isolation, access authentication, applying for authorisation.

As for data communication, communication using security algorithms and transmission encryption protocols and commercial level information encryption transmission based on dynamic keys are supported.

As for data processing, strict data filtering and validation and complete data audit are applied. As for data storage, all confidential information of users will be safely encrypted for storage. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), you could immediately notify us of the problem by emailing datacontroller@ikconect.com.

 

Data Retention

We process your Personal Data for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy, unless there is a specific legal requirement for us to keep the data for a longer retention period. We determine the appropriate retention period based on the amount, nature, and sensitivity of your Personal Data, and after the retention period ends, we will destruct your Personal Data.

  • For as long as you require us to fulfil the products and services you request from us as defined in the User Agreement;
  • Personal Data will no longer be retained when you request to remove your Personal Data, we will accordingly complete the task.

When we are unable to do so for technical reasons, we will ensure that appropriate measures are put in place to prevent any further such use of your Personal Data.

How to Complain

You have a right to complain to a data protection authority. In the UK, the data protection supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office (the “ICO”). Should you have any complaints about the way we handle your data, you may direct them to the ICO. More information on the ICO can be found on their website here: www.ico.org.uk

 

Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to us. The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (13) (or such other age provided by applicable law in your country/region of residence), and we request that these individuals do not provide any Personal Data to us. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from any child unless we first obtain permission from that child’s parent or legal guardian. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from any child without permission from that child’s parent or legal guardian, we will take steps to remove that information.

We may update this Policy to reflect changes to our information practices, at least on an annual basis. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by email (send to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice in the mobile applications prior to the change becoming effective.
