4. How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances: Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you; where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; and where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

Purposes for which we will use your personal data

We use your personal data for several purposes. We collect and process Identity and Contact data to register you as a new customer, which is necessary for performing our contract with you. When processing and delivering your orders, we may use your Identity, Contact, Financial, Transaction, and Marketing and Communications data, both to perform our contract with you and for our legitimate business interests. To manage our relationship with you, we process your Identity, Contact, Profile, and Marketing and Communications data, which helps us perform our contract with you, comply with legal obligations, and serve our legitimate interests.

Some of our external third parties may be based outside Myanmar, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the country.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal,
