Ikonic Technology Ltd : Data Protection Policy Introduction This Policy sets out the obligations of Ikonic Technology Ltd (“the Company”) regarding data protection and the rights of employees, customers, suppliers, complainants and enquirers (“data subjects”) in respect of their personal data under EU Regulation 2016/679 General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The GDPR defines “personal data” as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (a “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. This Policy sets the Company’s obligations regarding the collection, processing, transfer, storage, and disposal of personal data. The procedures and principles set out herein must be followed at all times by the Company, its employees, agents, contractors, or other parties working on behalf of the Company. The Company is committed to apply all reasonable efforts to comply not only to the letter of the law, but also to the spirit of the law and places high importance on the correct, lawful, and fair handling of all personal data, respecting the legal rights, privacy, and trust of all individuals with whom it deals. Data Protection Principles This Policy aims to ensure compliance with the GDPR. The GDPR sets out the following principles with which any party handling personal data must comply. All personal data must be: 2.1 Processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject. 2.2 Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes. Further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes. 2.3 Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed. 2.4 Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which it is processed, is erased, or rectified without delay. 2.5 Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed. Personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes, subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by the GDPR in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject. 2.6 Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures. The Rights of Data Subjects The GDPR sets out the following rights applicable to data subjects (please refer to the parts of this policy indicated for further details): 3.1 The right to be informed (Part 12). 3.2 The right of access (Part 13); 3.3 The right to rectification (Part 14); 3.4 The right to erasure (also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’) (Part 15); 3.5 The right to restrict processing (Part 16); 3.6 The right to object (Part 17); and Lawful, Fair, and Transparent Data Processing 4.1 The GDPR seeks to ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, without adversely affecting the rights of the data subject. The GDPR states that processing of personal data shall be lawful if at least one of the following applies: 4.1.1 The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes; 4.1.2 The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract with them; 4.1.3 The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject; 4.1.4 The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person; 4.1.5 The processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller; or 4.1.6 The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child. Specified, Explicit, and Legitimate Purposes 5.1 The Company collects and processes the personal data set out in Part 18 of this Policy. This includes: 5.1.1 Personal data collected directly from data subjects, for example contact details used when a data subject communicates with us. 5.1.2 Personal data obtained from third parties, for example contact details used from a 3rd party data provider for marketing purposes or sales leads provided by our product partners. 5.2 The Company only collects, processes, and holds personal data for the specific purposes set out in Part 18 of this Policy (or for other purposes expressly permitted by the GDPR). 5.3 Data subjects are kept informed at all times of the purpose or purposes for which the Company uses their personal data. Please refer to Part 12 for more information on keeping data subjects informed. Adequate, Relevant, and Limited Data Processing The Company will only collect and process personal data for and to the extent necessary for the specific purpose or purposes of which data subjects have been informed (or will be informed) as under Part 5, above, and as set out in Part 18, below. Accuracy of Data and Keeping Data Up-to-Date 7.1 The Company shall ensure that all personal data collected, processed, and held by it is kept accurate and up-to-date. This includes, but is not limited to, the rectification of personal data at the request of a data subject, as set out in Part 14, below. 7.2 The accuracy of personal data shall be checked when it is collected and at regular intervals thereafter. If any personal data is found to be inaccurate or out-of-date, all reasonable steps will be taken without delay to amend or erase that data, as appropriate. Data Retention 8.1 The Company shall not keep personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the purpose or purposes for which that personal data was originally collected, held, and processed. 8.2 When personal data is no longer required, all reasonable steps will be taken to erase or otherwise dispose of it without delay.
