All personal data shall be processed and stored securely, for no longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Zebek International will comply with its obligations and safeguard your rights.

Zebek International’ use of your personal data will always have a lawful basis, either because it is necessary for Zebek International performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to Zebek International use of your personal data (e.g. by subscribing to emails), or because it is in Zebek International legitimate interests. Specifically, Zebek International may (without limitation) use your data for the following purposes:

    • Supplying Zebek International products and/or services to you (please note that Zebek International requires your personal data in order to enter into a contract with you);

    • Market research;
    • Reporting to third parties where products and/or services have been provided to you at their cost; and
    • Procuring services from you or working with you in the course of Zebek International’ business.

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, Zebek International may also use your data for marketing purposes which may include contacting you by email, telephone, text message and/or post with information, news, and offers on Zebek International’ products and services. Zebek International will not, however, send you any unsolicited marketing or spam and will take all reasonable steps to ensure that it fully protects your rights and complies with its obligations.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to Zebek International using your personal data at any time, and to request that Zebek International deletes it.

Zebek International does not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Data will therefore be retained for the following periods (or its retention will be determined on the following bases):

    • Personal data in respect of third parties, obtained in the course of delivery of Zebek International’ services shall be retained for up to 3 years;
    • All other personal data shall be retained for up to 3 years from the date on which the purpose(s) for which it was obtained cease to apply.

7. How and Where Does Zebek International Store Your Data?

Zebek International only keeps your personal data for as long as Zebek International needs to in order to use it as described above in section 6, and/or for as long as Zebek International has your permission to keep it.

Some or all of your data may be stored outside of the Republic of Uganda. You are deemed to accept and agree to this by using Zebek International’ services or by otherwise submitting or providing information to Zebek International. If Zebek International does store data outside the Republic of Uganda, Zebek International will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated as safely and securely as it would be within the Republic of Uganda and in compliance with the applicable Republic of Uganda laws.

Zebek International has put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Zebek International has put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8. Does Zebek International Share Your Data?

Subject to the exceptions set out below (and/or elsewhere in this Policy) Zebek International will not share any of your data with any third parties for any purposes, unless you have expressly given your consent for us to do so:

In certain circumstances, Zebek International may be legally required to share certain data held by Zebek International, which may include your personal data, for example, where Zebek International is involved in legal proceedings, where Zebek International is complying with legal obligations, a court order, or a governmental authority or where necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Zebek International or others.

Zebek International may sometimes contract with third parties to facilitate the effective operation of Zebek International’ business and/or to supply services to you on Zebek International’ behalf. These services may include payment processing, delivery of Zebek International’ services, search engine facilities, email and other electronic communication tools, data back-up and other IT services, advertising, and marketing.

In such circumstances, Zebek International will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data will be handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, Zebek International’ obligations, and the obligations of the third party under the law.

In delivering its services, Zebek International sometimes acts as the data processor for a client (which is the data controller), for example, where Zebek International runs a communications campaign on behalf of a client and deals directly with its clients or supporters. In such cases, your personal data may be shared with the data controller.

9. What Happens If Zebek International’ Business Changes Hands?

Zebek International may, from time to time, expand or reduce Zebek International’ business and this may involve the sale and/or the transfer of control of all or part of Zebek International’ business. Any personal data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of Zebek International’ business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Policy, be permitted to use that data only for the same purposes for which it was originally collected by Zebek International.

In the event that any of your data is to be transferred in such a manner, you might not be contacted in advance and informed of the changes.
