4. SOURCES FROM WHICH WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL
We usually receive your data directly from you – when you contact us to enter into or amend the Agreement, or submit an Inquiry in any of your chosen ways. When concluding and executing the Agreement, and
following its termination, in the event of legal proceedings or recovery procedure, in response to the Inquiry, we may collect your data: a) from data pertaining to you provided publicly by you or third parties; b) from legal entities, if you are the representative, employee, contractor and the like of these legal entities; c) from partners or other legal entities that use our services or whose service we use in order to provide services to you.
If, in order to provide services under the Agreement in an adequate and objective manner or to examine your Inquiry we need to gather additional information or investigate significant circumstances, we may link the data you provide to the data we have and/or data collected during the execution of the Agreement and examination of your Inquiry, e.g., we can check video surveillance records, interview our employees and etc.
If the information (including documents) for conclusion or modification or termination of the Agreement is submitted from a computer in the Company’s or a third party’s network, there is a risk that the visited websites will be recorded in the browser’s history and/or the Company’s or third party’s network register. This can be avoided by presenting the information using a computer that is not in the network.
It is also important to note that, the information for the conclusion, modification or termination of the Agreement or the Request may contain metadata that may reveal the notifier’s personal information that is not related to the information provided. Therefore, it is important to remove the metadata not related to the Inquiry prior to submitting information.
5. DISCLOSURE CASES AND THIRD PARTIES WE DISCLOSE YOUR DATA TO
We may transfer your data for processing to the third parties who provide legal services to us, as well as services related to accounting and data administration. Such persons may include website and social questionnaire developers and administrators, database software vendors and administrators, data centre, hosting and cloud service providers, and etc. In each case, we provide the data controller with only as much data as is necessary to execute a specific order or provide a specific service. The data processors we engage may process your personal data only in accordance with our instructions and may not use them for other purposes or transfer them to other persons without our consent. Moreover, they must ensure the security of your data in accordance with applicable legislation and written agreements and contracts concluded with us.
If the event described in the Inquiry can be deemed insured, we shall pass on your Inquiry and data to the insurance company (-ies), in which we have insured our third-party liability, property, or which provide us with other coverage related to the event indicated in your Inquiry. The insurance companies act as independent data controllers and process your data in accordance with the terms and regulations set forth by the insurance company.
Your data may also be provided to the competent authorities or law enforcement institutions, e.g., police, law enforcement or supervisory authorities and the State Enterprise Centre of Registers, but only upon their request or only when required by applicable legal acts, or in cases where, in the procedure provided for by law, we seek to ensure our rights, safety of our other customers, employees and resources, and to make, provide and defend legal claims.
We may combine available information pertaining to you obtained from different sources. The inquiry (information about the violation, complaint, etc., i.e., where you do not require a response) can be submitted anonymously or with your personal data. In the latter case, the personal information of the notifier will be known only to those persons who will examine the information received. However, if necessary, the notifier may be summoned to court as a witness, thus losing anonymity.
