PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to collect Your Data by means that are:
fair;
legal; and
transparent.
If you visit PANDORASDIRECT's web-site, your web-browser
automatically discloses, and PANDORASDIRECT's web-server automatically logs,
the following information: the date and time, the IP address from which you
issued the request, the type of browser and operating system you are using, the
URL of any page that referred you to the page, the URL you requested, and whether
your request was successful. This data may or may not be sufficient to identify
you. Any additional data that you provide, e.g. in a web-form, may
also be logged. This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you. Any additional data that your web-browser automatically provides
may also be logged. This will be the case, for example, if your browser has
previously been requested to store data on your computer in cookies
and submits them each time you request a web-page within a particular domain
(such as pandorasdirect.com). This data
may or may not be sufficient to identify you. If you disclose personal data to PANDORASDIRECT in conjunction with an
identifier such as your name or your contact details (such as your e-mail
address), PANDORASDIRECT will collect Your Data. Moreover, any data
that becomes available to PANDORASDIRECT through any of the means described in
the preceding paragraphs may be able to be associated with that identifier, and
hence become Your Data.
Subject to the qualifications immediately below, PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to
collect Your Data from you
and not from other parties. This
undertaking is qualified as follows:
where PANDORASDIRECT
reasonably considers that the protection of its financial interests
requires that it gather Your Data from other sources, or from additional
sources. This applies in particular where PANDORASDIRECT has a lending
exposure to you, and seeks information about your creditworthiness;
where PANDORASDIRECT reasonably
considers that its capability to deliver quality services to you will be
materially enhanced by gathering Your Data from other sources. This
applies in particular to consumer profile data.
Where PANDORASDIRECT collects Your Data from sources other than you,
it undertakes:
to do so only by legal
means;
to do so only with your
Consent; and
to declare to you what
sources it uses, and under what circumstances.
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to declare the purpose of collection
in a manner which is clear and meaningful, and to avoid vague, highly inclusive
statements such as 'to support our operations'.
Data Security
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to store Your Data in a manner that
ensures security against unauthorised access, alteration or deletion, at a level
commensurate with its sensitivity.
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to store Your Data only in jurisdictions
where data protections are at least equivalent to those required under the OECD
Guidelines.
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to transmit Your Data in a manner
that ensures security against unauthorised access, alteration or deletion, at a
level commensurate with its sensitivity.
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to implement appropriate measures to ensure
security of Your Data against inappropriate behaviour by PANDORASDIRECT's
staff-members and contractors. These include:
training for staff in
relation to privacy;
access control, to limit
access to Your Data to those staff and contractors who have legitimate
reasons to access it;
particularly in the case of
sensitive data, audit trails of accesses, including the identities of
staff and contractors accessing the data;
reminders to staff and
contractors from time to time about the importance of data privacy, and
the consequences of inappropriate behaviour;
declaration of appropriately
strong sanctions that are to be applied in the event of inappropriate
behaviour
clear communication of
policies and sanctions; and
processes to audit, to
investigate and to impose sanctions.
Data Use
Use refers to the application of Your Data by any part of PANDORASDIRECT, or
any staff-member or contractor of PANDORASDIRECT in the course of their work.
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to use Your Data only for:
the purposes for
which it was collected;
such other purposes as are subsequently
agreed between PANDORASDIRECT and You;
such additional purposes as
may be required by law. In these circumstances,
PANDORASDIRECT will take any reasonable steps available to it to
communicate to You that the use has occurred, unless it is precluded from
doing so by law; and
such additional purposes as
are authorised by law (in particular to protect
PANDORASDIRECT's interests, e.g. if it believes on reasonable grounds that
You have failed to fulfil your undertakings to PANDORASDIRECT or have committed
a breach of the criminal law).
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to use Your Data only if it has demonstrable
relevance to the particular use to which it is being put.
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to use Your Data in such a manner as to take into
account the possibility that it is not of sufficient quality for the
purpose, e.g. because it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, or
out-of-context.
Data Disclosure
Disclosure refers to making Your Data available to any party other than
PANDORASDIRECT and You. The term disclosure may include many different
conditions of data transfer, including selling, renting, trading, sharing and
giving.
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to disclose Your Data only under the following
circumstances:
in the course of
business being conducted between You and PANDORASDIRECT, where
disclosure is necessary to a contractor, such as payment processors like
PayPal and transportation companies. Where Your Data is disclosed in this
way, PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to exercise control over PANDORASDIRECT's
contractors to ensure that their actions are compliant with these Terms;
in other
circumstances that are directly implied by the purpose agreed between You
and PANDORASDIRECT at the time of data collection or
subsequently. Where Your Data is disclosed in this way, PANDORASDIRECT
undertakes to exercise control over PANDORASDIRECT's contractors to ensure
that their actions are compliant with these Terms;
with your consent,
or at your request;
where required by law,
such as a provision of a statute, or a court order such as a search
warrant or subpoena. In these circumstances, PANDORASDIRECT will take any
reasonable steps available to it to communicate to You that the disclosure
has occurred, unless it is precluded from doing so by law;
where permitted by
law (e.g. the reporting of suspected breach of the criminal law
to a law enforcement agency; and in an emergency, where PANDORASDIRECT
believes on reasonable grounds that the disclosure of Your Data will
materially assist in the protection of the life of health of some person),
provided that PANDORASDIRECT will apply due diligence to ensure that the
exercise of the permission is justifiable.
In all cases, PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to disclose only such of Your Data
as is necessary in the particular circumstances.
Data Retention and Destruction
Subject to the qualifications immediately below, PANDORASDIRECT undertakes:
to retain
Your Data only as long as is consistent with its purpose; and
to destroy
Your Data when its purpose has expired, and to do so in such a manner that
Your Data is not subsequently capable of being recovered.
This undertaking is qualified as follows:
Your Data may be retained in
PANDORASDIRECT's logs, backups and audit trails within
short-term retention cycles that are devised to protect the company's
operations. In such cases, Your Data will be destroyed in accordance with
those cycles;
Your Data may be retained
beyond the expiry of its purpose if that is required by law,
such as a provision of a statute, or a court order such as a search
warrant or subpoena, or a warning by a law enforcement agency that
delivery of a court order is imminent. In these circumstances,
PANDORASDIRECT:
will take any reasonable
steps available to it to communicate to You that Your Data is being
retained, unless it is precluded from doing so by law; and
will only retain Your
Data while that provision is current, and will then destroy Your Data;
Your Data may be retained
beyond the expiry of its purpose if it is authorised by law
(in particular to protect PANDORASDIRECT's interests, e.g. if it believes
on reasonable grounds that You have failed to fulfil your undertakings to
PANDORASDIRECT or have committed a breach of the criminal law). In these
circumstances, PANDORASDIRECT will only retain Your Data while that
situation is current, and will then destroy Your Data.
Access by You to Your Personal Data
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to provide you with access to
Your Data, subject to only such conditions and processes as are reasonable in
the circumstances. In particular, PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to enable access:
conveniently;
without unreasonable delay;
and
without cost.
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to establish and operate identity
authentication protections for access to Your Data that are
appropriate to its sensitivity, but practical. This may involve some
inconvenience; for example, relatively straightforward procedures may be
involved in order to provide you with access through a channel that you have
previously registered with PANDORASDIRECT (such as a particular email-address),
but may impose more onerous procedures if you wish to use some other channel.
In the event that you dispute some aspect of Your Data, PANDORASDIRECT
undertakes to take reasonable steps in relation to the amendment,
supplementation or deletion of Your Data.
You undertake:
not to seek access for
frivolous purposes, or unreasonably frequently;
to accept that deletion of
some data may not be consistent with the provision of particular services
by PANDORASDIRECT to you.
Information about Data-Handling Practices
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to make information available to you about the
manner in which PANDORASDIRECT handles your data:
in general terms, in a
readily accessible manner; and
in more specific terms, on
request.
Where Your Data is disclosed to a contractor, PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to
make information available to you on request about the manner in which PANDORASDIRECT's
contractors handle your data.
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes to ensure that the information provided is
meaningful, and addresses your concerns.
You undertake:
not to seek such information
for frivolous purposes, or unreasonably frequently; and
to accept that the
disclosure of excessive detail may harm the security of Your Data and
PANDORASDIRECT's business processes, and may harm PANDORASDIRECT's
commercial interests.
Handling of Enquiries, General Concerns and Complaints
If you have enquiries, general concerns, or complaints about these Terms, or
about PANDORASDIRECT's behaviour in relation to these Terms, you undertake:
to communicate them
in the first instance:
to PANDORASDIRECT
only;
in sufficient detail;
through a channel
made available by PANDORASDIRECT for that purpose;
PANDORASDIRECT undertakes:
to provide one or more channels
for communications to PANDORASDIRECT, which are convenient to
users;
to promptly provide acknowledgement
of the receipt of communications, including the provision of a copy of the
communication, the date and time it was registered, and PANDORASDIRECT's
reference-code for the communication;
to promptly provide a
response to the communication, in an appropriate and meaningful
manner.
You further undertake to not pursue PANDORASDIRECT through any Regulator
or the media:
until and unless
PANDORASDIRECT has had a reasonable opportunity to respond to the initial
communication; and
while PANDORASDIRECT and you
remain are conducting a meaningful dialogue about the matter.
Enforcement
PANDORASDIRECT declares that its undertakings in
these Terms are intended to create legal obligations, and that
those obligations are intended to be enforceable under
appropriate laws in appropriate jurisdictions. These include laws relating to
data protection, privacy, fair trading, corporations and criminal laws.
You undertake to seek enforcement only in a jurisdiction that
is relevant to the transactions that have taken place between You and
PANDORASDIRECT, in particular the jurisdiction in which you live or in which
you performed the relevant acts, and the jurisdiction in which PANDORASDIRECT
is domiciled or performed the relevant acts.
All prices are in USD.
