Privacy Statement

Last revised: 26 July, 2022

This Privacy Statement informs you of important information about how ComplianceAsia (together, “ComplianceAsia”, “we” or “our”) process the personal data that we collect in online and offline formats through the Services.

“Personal data” means data that can be used reasonably to identify a living person, or that reasonably relates to a living person.

When we use the term “Services” we mean to refer collectively to:

• The provision of related services to our clients and prospective clients ("Client Services");
• The websites and mobile applications owned and controlled by us that link to this Privacy Statement ("Sites"); and
• Our marketing and business development activities, including events/webinars we host, social media properties we create, and emails that we send ("Marketing Activities")

This Privacy Statement covers the personal data that we collect through the provision of our Services.

How we collect and use personal data

We collect and process personal data about a number of different individuals through the provision of the Services. These individuals include our individual clients and prospective clients, their representatives, visitors to our offices, visitors to our Sites, vendors, journalists, and other individuals.

Visitors to our Sites

Certain visitors interact with the Sites in ways that lead us to gather personal data. The amount and type of data that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, if you sign up to our mailing list we collect your name, contact details, job title and company name. This is more information than we require in order to add you to our emailing list, but we collect other information about you to ensure that we do not create a duplicate record for you in our database. Visitors can always refuse to supply personal data, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site-related activities.

The legal bases we rely on to process this information is:

• To pursue our legitimate interests in developing and growing our business, operating and improving the Sites, and conducting Marketing Activities; and
