Privacy Policy

Introduction

We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data that we process or control. This Privacy Policy provides notice to you of our privacy practices in relation to our interactions with you online, over the telephone.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully and revisit this page from time to time to review any changes that may have been made. (We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on this website. All amended terms automatically take effect on the date set out in the posted Privacy Policy, unless otherwise specified). 

Websites covered by this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all websites and domains including all regional or country-specific sites (collectively the “Websites”). The Websites may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the Websites. We do not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from our own privacy practices. This Privacy Policy does not cover any personal data that you choose to give to unrelated third parties. We do not monitor or control the information collected by such sites or the privacy practices of any third parties, and we are not responsible for their practices or the content of their sites. 

Types of information we collect and use

In this policy, “personal information” or “personal data” means information about an identifiable individual that is subject to protection under the law in the jurisdiction in which you reside. In some jurisdictions, “personal information” or “personal data” will not include business contact information. 

The Websites collect information through a variety of different ways and for different purposes as follows. If you choose to register with Acquire International Ltd websites to receive updates from us then you will be requested to provide contact information (name, address, telephone number, email address). We use this information pursuant to our legitimate business interests to provide our services and/or to contact you about the services on our site in which you have expressed interest. 

The Websites automatically collect technical information about your visit (such as browser type, Internet service provider, platform type, internet protocol (IP) addresses, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp). We aggregate this information for reporting about the Websites to analyse trends, diagnose problems with our server and administer the Websites, to track user movement and use, and to gather broad demographic information. 

If we speak to you over the phone, you may provide us with personal data during the call. Such calls may be recorded for training and quality purposes. You will be informed at the outset of a call if it is to be recorded, giving you an opportunity to end the call if you are not comfortable with recording 

What we do with the information we collect

Through the Website, you can order products or services, request information, or support materials. In order to purchase a product or service from us, we will request certain information from you which will be used for contract performance purposes. You will need to provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address). Financial information collected from you is used only to bill you for the products and services that you have purchased. 

We may be required to share information with third parties as a result of applicable law. For example, we may be required to disclose information as a result of a court order, subpoena, or warrant. In addition, we may, subject to applicable law, voluntarily provide information in order to assist in a law enforcement investigation or where the disclosure is necessary to protect our systems, our business, or the rights of others. 

We may also use your contact information to send you information about other Acquire International Ltd products and services. 

Electronic Communications

Once you register, we will send you a welcoming email to verify your username and password. We will also respond to your inquiries; provide services you request and manage your request. We will communicate with you by email or telephone and will make every effort to honour your preference. 

Subject to the marketing preferences which you give us, we will also send you information on new products, services, special savings, promotions, and general information. If you do not want to receive this information, you can opt-out of receiving future mailings (see Opt-Out section below). 

Please note that we do not provide your email address to our business partners. However, we may send you offers on behalf of our business partners.

Children’s privacy

We are committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 18 and we do not target our websites to children under 18. 

Your choices and opting-out

We give you the choice of receiving a variety of information that complements our products and services. You can subscribe to receive certain product-and service-specific information and group-wide marketing communications. Such communications may include new product information, special offers, or an invitation to participate in market research. If you no longer wish to receive our newsletters and/or promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communications including by contacting us at info@acquire-international.com

Access to and accuracy of your information and your other rights

In certain jurisdictions, notably in the UK and those in the EEA, in certain circumstances you have the following rights: a right of access; a right of rectification; a right of erasure; a right to restrict processing; a right of data portability; and a right to object. These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person or breach the privacy rights of others, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. To exercise any of these rights, please contact gdpr@acquire-international.com. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to make a complaint to the data protection supervisory authority where you live, work or where you believe a breach may have occurred. 

Keeping your information secure

We do not guarantee or warrant the security of our servers, nor can we guarantee that information you supply through the Website will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet. We follow generally accepted industry technical standards to protect the personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. When you enter sensitive information on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secured socket layer technology. Where we process personal information for marketing purposes or with your consent, we process the data until you ask us to stop and for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your requests). We also keep a record of the fact that you have asked us not to send you direct marketing or to process your data indefinitely so that we can respect your request in the future. Where we process personal information in connection with performing a contract or Service, or for a competition, we keep the information for 6 years (except for financial information which we keep for 10 years) from your last interaction with us. 

Business transitions

In the event that we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personal information will likely be among the assets transferred. 

Terms and Conditions

If you choose to visit our Website, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, including, but not limited to, disclaimers of warranty, limitations of liability, and arbitration of disputes. If you have any questions regarding our use of your personal data, please email gdpr@acquire-international.com
