Introduction

Merging Telecom (“Company”, “our”, “us”, or “we”), the data controller of the personal information we collect about you pursuant to this Privacy Statement, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement explains how we handle personal information when you visit our websites or applications that link to this Privacy Statement (our “Sites”) or when you contact us.

It describes the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, the third parties with whom we share it, and the rights you may have. “Personal information” means information, or a combination of pieces of information, that can be used to identify you.

This Privacy Statement applies only when you visit our Sites that link to it or when you contact us (for example, with a comment, inquiry, or support request). Other Company websites, products, services, or mobile applications may be covered by different privacy notices. Please read this Privacy Statement together with any other privacy notices we provide on specific occasions so you understand how and why we are using your information.

By using or accessing our Sites or contacting us, you agree that we may process your personal information as described in this Privacy Statement. Your use of our Sites and any information you provide is subject at all times to this Privacy Statement and the applicable terms and conditions for the Sites.

1) Our collection of information

a) Information collected directly from you

When you visit our Sites, we may ask you for personal information to provide a service or carry out a transaction that you have requested. You may also provide personal information when you contact us or register for an account.

The personal information we collect may include identity data (name, title, company/organization, email address, telephone and fax numbers, and physical address), registration data (user names and passwords), recruitment data (e.g., resume/CV, references, education and job background, professional training and certifications), marketing and communications data (preferences and subscriptions), financial information (for purchases), export control information (nationality, citizenship, country of residence), transaction data (orders and payments), event registration information, and your feedback.

b) Information we collect about you

We may collect usage data (how you use our Sites, pages viewed, bytes transferred, links clicked, materials accessed, date and time of access, referring website, and other actions) and technical data (IP address, browser type, language, operating system).

c) Geo-location information

For certain Sites, with your express consent, we may collect the precise, real-time location (geo-location) of your mobile device to facilitate your use of the Sites. You can adjust consent in your device’s Location Services settings.

d) Information collected from third parties

In accordance with applicable law, we may collect personal information about you from third parties (e.g., social media services) and combine it with information we already hold, to improve and customize our Sites and for other purposes described in this Privacy Statement.

2) Our use of information

We may use personal information collected via our Sites or when you contact us for the following purposes: (i) services and transactions; (ii) administering and protecting our business and Sites; (iii) improving our business, Sites, products, and services; (iv) marketing (in accordance with applicable laws and your preferences); (v) employment applications; (vi) research and analysis; and (vii) enforcement (e.g., to detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, intellectual property infringement, or violations of our terms or the law). Where permitted, we may combine information collected via the Sites with other information we hold to offer an improved, consistent customer experience.

3) The legal basis on which we process information

Where required by law, we will ensure there is a legal basis for processing your personal information. In most cases this will be one of: (i) performance of our services; (ii) compliance with legal obligations; (iii) your consent (e.g., for marketing); or (iv) our legitimate interests (e.g., to develop and improve our Sites, products, and services).

4) Anonymizing information

We may anonymize personal information so it can no longer identify you. Anonymized information is not considered personal information and may be collected, used, and shared for any purpose permitted by law.

5) How long we keep information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, or as required by law. For example, we keep information needed to provide services or facilitate transactions while you are a customer; marketing information until you opt out; and job application information as described at the time of collection. Afterwards, we anonymize, delete, or destroy the information as permitted.

6) Security

We use a variety of technical and organizational measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, including measures required by applicable law. However, no information system is 100% secure. We are not responsible for the security of information you transmit over networks we do not control, including the Internet and wireless networks. Where you have a user ID and password for the Sites, you are responsible for keeping those credentials confidential.

7) Contact us

If you have questions regarding this Privacy Statement or our handling of your personal information, or wish to lodge a complaint, please contact us at info@mergingtelecom.com. We will address your concern and strive to reach a satisfactory resolution.
