HashKey may rely on your consent for data transfer or will adopt contractual and/or other means to ensure the agents, contractors or other third-party data processors who process personal data on behalf of HashKey will take all reasonable steps to (i) protect the personal data they hold against unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss or use; and(ii) ensure that personal data will not be kept longer than necessary.

Such a third party may be located, and use of your personal data may be made in connection with such acquisition or reorganisation outside your country of locationjurisdiction (i.e. Hong Kong, or Singapore, Bermuda, the EU or the UK).

We utilize encryption/security software for data transmission so as to protect your data via encrypting it in a secure format to ensure its privacy and security from unauthorised access or disclosure, accidental loss, alteration or destruction.

If you do not wish to receive further direct marketing or promotional materials from HashKey, you may opt out of receiving direct marketing or promotional communications by contacting HashKey by one of the communication channels set out in Section 14 "Contact HashKey" section below.

Retention of personal data

We aim to retain your personal data no longer than is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes of collection unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations. The precise length of time will depend on the type of data, our legitimate business needs, and other legal requirements that may require us to retain it for certain minimum periods.

We may be required to retain certain data for the purposes of tax reporting or responding to tax queries. In other instances, there may be some other legal or risk management requirements to retain data, including where certain data might be relevant to any potential litigation (bearing in mind the relevant limitation periods).

In determining the appropriate retention period for different types of personal data, we always consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data in question, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of that personal data, the purposes for which we need to process it and whether we can achieve those purposes by other means (in addition of course to ensuring that we comply with our legal and risk management obligations, as described above).

Once we have determined that we no longer need to hold your personal data, we will delete it from our systems.

HashKey will take commercially reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of your personal data held by HashKey. If HashKey becomes aware that the personal data is inaccurate, HashKey will not use such data and will notify any third party to which such personal data has been transferred regarding the same.

For personal data for recruitment purposes, HashKey will retain such data of unsuccessful job applicant, for a period not longer than two years from the date of rejecting the applicant, unless there is subsisting reason that obliges HashKey to retain the data for a shorter or longer period, such as for compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; or you have given prescribed consent for the data to be retained beyond the prescribed period.

Access and correction of personal dataYour rights

Under applicable lawdata privacy laws in Hong Kong and Singapore, you may have the right to request for access to your personal data, to obtain a copy of the personal data, to correct any personal data that is inaccurate and to delete or cease the collection, processing or use of any personal data. You can also may request HashKey to inform you of the type of personal data held by HashKey.

Request for access and correction of personal data or for information regarding policies and practices and kinds of data held by us should be addressed in writing and sent to HashKey by post or by email following the details set out in the Section 14 "Contact HashKey" section below.

In accordance with the terms of applicable laws, HashKey has the right to charge a reasonable fee for the processing of any data access request.

In addition, the EU GDPR and UK GDPR offer various protections (not available under PDPO or PDPA) and clarify the rights of citizens and individuals in the EU or the UK, with regard to data privacy. This means that you retain various rights in respect of your data, even once you have given it to us. These are described in more detail below.

Right to object (not available under PDPO or PDPA): This enables you to object to us processing your personal data. This is possible for one of the following four reasons: (i) our legitimate interests; (ii) to enable us to perform a task in the public interest or exercise official authority; (iii) to send you direct marketing materials; and (iv) for scientific, historical, research, or statistical purposes.

The "legitimate interests" category above is most likely to apply. If your objection relates to us processing your personal data because we deem it necessary for your legitimate interests, we must act on your objection by ceasing the activity in question unless:

We can show that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing which overrides your interests.
We are processing your data for the establishment, exercise, or defence of a legal claim.

Right to withdraw consent: We have obtained your consent to process your personal data. You may withdraw this consent at any time and we will cease to carry out the particular activity that you previously consented to unless we consider that there is an alternative reason to justify our continued processing of your data for this purpose. In which case, we will inform you of this condition.

Right to access: You may ask us to confirm what information we hold about you at any time, and request us to modify, update, or delete such information. We may ask you to verify your identity and for more information about your request. If we provide you with access to the information that we hold about you, we will not charge you for this unless your request is "manifestly unfounded or excessive." If you request further copies of this information from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost where legally permissible. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request, we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.

Right to erasure (not available under PDPO or PDPA): You have the right to request that we erase your personal data in certain circumstances. Normally, the information must meet one of the following criteria:

the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which we originally collected and/or processed them;
where previously given, you have withdrawn your consent to us processing your data, and there is no other valid reason for us to continue processing;
the data has been processed unlawfully (i.e., in a manner which does not comply with the EU GDPR and UK GDPR);
it is necessary for the data to be erased in order for us to comply with our legal obligations as a data controller; or
if we process the data because we believe it necessary to do so for our legitimate interests, you object to the processing and we are unable to demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds for our continued processing.

We would only be entitled to refuse to comply with your request for erasure for one of the following reasons:

to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
to comply with legal obligations or for the performance of a public interest task or exercise of official authority;
for public health reasons in the public interest;
for archival, research, or statistical purposes; or
to exercise or defend a legal claim.

When complying with a valid request for the erasure of data we will take all reasonably practicable steps to delete the relevant data.

Right to restrict processing (not available under PDPO or PDPA): You have the right to request that we restrict our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. We can only continue to store your data, and will not be able to carry out any further processing activities with it until either: (i) one of the circumstances listed below is resolved; (ii) you consent; or (iii) further processing is necessary for either the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, the protection of the rights of another individual, or reasons of important EU or UK public interest.

The circumstances in which you are entitled to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data include the following:

where you dispute the accuracy of the personal data that we are processing about you. In this case, our processing of your personal data will be restricted for the period during which the accuracy of the data is verified;
where you object to our processing of your personal data for our legitimate interests. Here, you can request that the data be restricted while we verify our grounds for processing your personal data;
where our processing of your data is unlawful, but you would prefer us to restrict our processing of it rather than erasing it; and
where we have no further need to process your personal data but you require the data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If we have shared your personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the restricted processing unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We will notify you before lifting any restriction on processing your personal data.

Right to rectification: You also have the right to request that we rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you. If we have shared this personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the rectification unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Where appropriate, we will also tell you which third parties we have disclosed the inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Where we think that it is reasonable for us not to comply with your request, we will explain our reasons for this decision.

Right of data portability (not available PDPO): If you wish, you have the right to transfer your personal data between data controllers. If applicable, this means that you are able to transfer any HashKey account details to another provider. To allow you to do so, we will provide you with your data in a commonly used machine-readable format that is password-protected so that you can transfer the data to another provider. Alternatively, we may directly transfer the data for you. This right of data portability applies to: (i) personal data that we process automatically (i.e., without any human intervention); (ii) personal data provided by you; and (iii) personal data that we process based on your consent or in order to fulfill a contract.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:

If you are in the EU or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

The supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner's Office at: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF (T: 0303 123 1113 E: icocasework@ico.org.uk).

The supervisory authorities for EU Member States are listed (along with contact details) here.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, or withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data (where consent is our legal basis for processing your personal data), for details on how to contact us, see the details set out in Section 14 "Contact HashKey" below.

NOTE: We may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues that you raise.

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during the period for which we hold your data.

Termination or cancellation

Should your relationship with HashKey be cancelled or terminated at any time, HashKey shall cease processing your personal data as soon as reasonably practicable following such cancellation or termination, provided that HashKey may keep copies of the data as is reasonably required for reasonable purposes, such reasonable purposes shall include keeping of records, use in relation to any actual or potential dispute, complying with applicable laws and regulations, and protecting HashKey’s rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of HashKey’s employees and agents.

Legal Bases for Processing Your Data (This section is applicable to EU GDPR and UK GDPR only)

The legal bases that we rely on to process your personal data are listed below.

Legitimate Interests

Article 6(1)(f) of the EU GDPR (and equivalent provisions under UK GDPR) says that we can process

your data where it "is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by [us] or by a third party,

except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of [you]

which require protection of personal data."

You have the right to object to us processing your personal data on this basis.

We use and store your personal data in order to ensure you can access the products and services available through the HashKey website(s) or the HashKey Exchange smoothly and so as to respond to you if you contact us through the HashKey website(s).

Consent

In certain circumstances, we are required to obtain your consent to the processing of your personal data

in relation to certain activities.

Article 4(11) of the EU GDPR states that (opt-in) consent is "any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her" In plain language, this means that:

You have to give us your consent freely, without us putting you under any type of pressure.
You have to know what you are consenting to so we will make sure we give you enough information.
You should have control over which processing activities you consent to and which you do not.
You need to take positive and affirmative action in giving us your consent. We are likely to provide a check box for you to check so that this requirement is met in a clear and unambiguous fashion.
We will keep records of the consents that you have given in this way.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to these activities. You can do so at any time.

For the Performance of a Contract

In certain circumstances we may use and process your personal information where it is necessary to perform a contract that you have with us. For example, when you access any product or services through the HashKey website(s) or HashKey Exchange, we need to use your personal information to process any transactions and to respond to any requests you may have.

Compliance with a Legal Obligation

We also have legal obligations that we must comply with. Article (6)(1)(c) of the EU GDPR

(and equivalent provisions under UK GDPR) states that we can process your personal data where this

processing "is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which [we] are subject."

We will process your data where we are required to comply with our legal obligations. If we believe in

good faith that it is necessary, we may share your data in connection with crime detection or tax collection.

We also may share your data with other relevant bodies in order to comply with any regulatory obligations.

We will keep records of your personal data (including personal data contained in communications and calls)

in accordance with our legal obligations.

In this Privacy Policy we refer to data being processed or disclosed in connection with a legal obligation. It is not possible to provide a comprehensive and exhaustive list of the legal obligations that may give rise to such requirements. New laws may be enacted or other obligations become binding which may require processing your data in accordance with other legal obligations. However, examples include processing in order to comply with court orders, regulatory rules or directions, or applicable legislation. Legislation which would require us to process your personal data includes legislation pertaining to corporate obligations, anti-money laundering and tax and accounting.

Establish, Exercise, or Defend Legal Claims

Sometimes it may be necessary for us to process personal data and, where appropriate and in accordance

with local laws and requirements, special categories of personal data in connection with exercising or defending

legal claims. Article 9(2)(f) of the EU GDPR (and equivalent provisions under UK GDPR) allows this where the

processing "is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims or whenever courts are

acting in their judicial capacity."

This may arise for example where we need to take legal advice in relation to legal proceedings or are required by law to preserve or disclose certain information as part of the legal process.

Special Categories of Personal Data

In certain cases, we may process information about your ethnic background, gender, disability, age, sexual

orientation, religion or other similar beliefs, and/or social-economic background. We will do this only where

appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements.

This information is what is called ‘special categories’ of personal data (this is also known as sensitive personal data).

We may need to obtain your explicit consent before we can collect it. We will ask for your consent by offering you

an opt-in. This means that you have to explicitly and clearly tell us that you agree to us collecting and using this information.

We may collect other special categories of personal data about you, such as health-related information.

We will never do this without your explicit consent.

If you are not happy about this, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

How do We Store and Transfer Your Data Internationally?

We want to make sure that your data is stored and transferred in a way that is secure. We will therefore only transfer data overseas where it is compliant with data protection legislation and the means of transfer provides adequate safeguards in relation to your data. For example:

By data transfer agreement, incorporating applicable standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to data controllers and processors in jurisdictions which do not benefit from a finding of adequacy (see next paragraph).
Transferring your data to a country where there has been a finding of adequacy by the European Commission or the UK's data protection supervisory authority in respect to that country's levels of data protection via its legislation.
To the extent applicable, by way of scheme approved by the European Commission or under relevant UK legislation, whether as a successor to the EU-US Privacy Shield or scheme which otherwise permits the exchange of personal data between jurisdictions.
Where it is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between ourselves and a third party and the transfer is in your interest for the purposes of that contract (e.g., if we need to transfer data in order to meet our obligations under that contract).
Where you have consented to the data transfer.
