4.    SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

4.1    To safeguard your Personal Data from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks, we have introduced appropriate administrative, physical and technical measures.

4.2    If you believe that your privacy has been breached by Lazada, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the email address provided below.

4.3    You should be aware, however, that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While security cannot be guaranteed, we strive to protect the security of your information and will periodically review and enhance our information security measures.

 

5.    INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

5.1    For the Purposes stated, Lazada may also, from time to time and subject to the appropriate safeguards, need to transfer Personal Data to relevant Lazada affiliates or to relevant third parties internationally. In sharing your Personal Data with them, we endeavour to ensure that third parties and affiliates keep your Personal Data secure from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, or similar risks, and to retain your Personal Data only for as long as needed to achieve the abovementioned Purposes. In disclosing or transferring your Personal Data to third parties and affiliates located overseas, Lazada takes steps to ensure that the receiving party has in place a standard of protection accorded to Personal Data that is at least comparable to the protection under the applicable data protection laws.

 

6.    RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA

We may also contact you should opportunities arise in the future within our group of companies.

6.2    Lazada (or the relevant affiliate) may also host your Personal Data with a third-party cloud storage service.

7.1    You may withdraw your consent to our use and/or disclosure of your Personal Data for any of the purposes and in the manner as stated above at any time by contacting our Data Protection Officer using the email address provided below.

7.2    Please note that if you communicate your withdrawal of your consent for us to use and/or disclose your Personal Data for the purposes and in the manner as stated above, depending on the nature of your objection, we may not be in a position to continue to assess your suitability for employment with us or perform any contract we have with you. Our legal rights and remedies are expressly reserved in such an event.

7.3    Upon receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, we may require a reasonable period of time (depending on the complexity of the request and its impact on our relationship with you) for your request to be processed and for us to notify you of the consequences of us acceding to the same, including any legal consequences which may affect your rights and liabilities to us. In general, we shall seek to process and effect your request within thirty days of receiving it.

7.4    Please note that withdrawing your consent does not affect our right to continue to collect, use and disclose Personal Data where such collection, use and disclose without consent is permitted or required under applicable laws.

 

8.    ACCESS TO AND CORRECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

8.1    If you wish to make (a) an access request for access to a copy of the Personal Data which we hold about you or information about the ways in which we use or disclose your Personal Data, or (b) a correction request to correct or update any of your Personal Data which we hold, you may submit your request by contacting our Data Protection Officer using the email address provided below.

8.2    We will respond to your access request as soon as reasonably possible. Should we not be able to respond to your access request within thirty (30) days after receiving your access request, we will inform you in writing within thirty (30) days of the time by which we will be able to respond to your request. If we are unable to provide you with any Personal Data or to make a correction requested by you, we shall generally inform you of the reasons why we are unable to do so (except where we are not required to do so under the applicable data protection laws).

8.3    Please note that depending on the request that is being made, we may only need to provide you with access to the Personal Data contained in the documents requested, and not to the entire documents themselves. In those cases, it may be appropriate for us to simply provide you with confirmation of the Personal Data that our organisation has on record, if the record of your Personal Data forms a negligible part of the document.
