Optional Provision of Personal Data
3.6 In some instances, you may also be requested to provide certain Personal Data that may be used to further improve M&C’s products and services and/or better tailor the type of information presented to you. In most cases, this type of data is optional although, where the requested service is a personalised service, or provision of a product or dependent on your providing all requested data, failure to provide the requested data may prevent M&C from providing the service to you. This type of data includes, but is not limited to: your age; gender; profession; hobbies and leisure activities; other related products and services subscribed to; and family and household demographics.
3.7 Under certain circumstances, telephone calls made to M&C are recorded for the purposes of quality control, appraisal, as well as staff management and development. In such an event, by agreeing to this Policy, you hereby give your clear and unambiguous consent for the collection, use and disclosure of such Personal Data in accordance to this Policy.
4. Accuracy of Personal Data
Where possible, M&C will validate data provided using generally accepted practices and guidelines. This includes the use of check sum verification on some numeric fields such as account numbers or credit card numbers. In some instances, M&C is able to validate the data provided against pre-existing data held by M&C. In some cases, M&C is required to see original documentation before we may use the Personal Data such as with Personal Identifiers and/or proof of address. To assist in ensuring the accuracy of your Personal Data in the possession of M&C, please inform us of any updates of any parts of your Personal Data by sending a clearly worded email to the DPO at the email address earlier provided.
6. Protection of Personal Data
M&C uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your Personal Data and will not knowingly allow access to this data to anyone outside M&C, other than to you or as described in this Policy. However, M&C cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to M&C and you do so entirely at your own risk. In particular, M&C does not warrant that such information may not be accessed, altered, collected, copied, destroyed, disposed of disclosed or modified by breach of any of M&C’s physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
7. Access and Correction of Personal Data
7.1 In accordance with Clause 2.1 of this Policy, you have the right to:
a) check whether M&C holds any Personal Data relating to you and, if so, obtain copies of such data; and
b) require M&C to correct any Personal Data relating to you which is inaccurate for the purpose for which it is being used.
7.2 M&C reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee in order to meet your requests under Clause 7.1. Upon payment of the requisite fee, your request shall be processed within a reasonable time.
7.3 If you wish to verify the details you have submitted to M&C or if you wish to check on the manner in which M&C uses and processes your personal data, M&C’s security procedures mean that M&C may request proof of identity before we reveal information. This proof of identity will take the form of full details of name, membership number and NRIC or Passport or Fin number. You must therefore keep this information safe as you will be responsible for any action which M&C takes in response to a request from someone using your membership details. We would strongly recommend that you do not use the browser's password memory function as that would permit other people using your terminal to access your personal information.
8. Storage and Retention of Personal Data
M&C will delete, as reasonably possible, or otherwise anonymise any Personal Data in the event that the Personal Data is not required for any reasonable business or legal purposes of M&C and where the Personal Data is deleted from M&C's electronic, manual, and other filing systems in accordance with M&C's internal procedures and/or other agreements.
9. Contacting you
To the extent that any of the communication means which you have provided M&C with (which may include, your telephone number and fax number) is/will be listed on the Do Not Call Registry (the “DNC”), by agreeing to this Policy through your signing of the sign-up forms, consent forms, or by any other means of indication, you hereby grant M&C your clear and unambiguous consent to contact you using all of your communication means you have provided to M&C including using SMS and MMS messages for the above purposes. This will ensure your continued enjoyment of M&C’s promotional rates and services
10. Change Policy
M&C reserve the right to alter any of the clauses contained herein in compliance with local legislation and/or to meet its global policy requirements, and for any other purpose deemed reasonably necessary by M&C. You should look at these terms regularly. If you do not agree to the modified terms, you should inform us as soon as possible of the terms to which you do not consent.
