Tech InsideOut may share your personal information with other companies or people under any of the following circumstances:
- when we have your consent to share the information;
- we need to send the information to third parties who work on behalf of Tech InsideOut to provide you with a customer service or promotional or informational materials (we will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose);

- to our service providers and subcontractors in order to keep you up to date on any information we think you would like to hear about either from us or from our business partners (unless you have opted out of these types of communications), subject to your opt-in consent to such processing activities; or

We will not sell or otherwise transfer the personally identifiable information you provide to us at our Websites to any third parties for their own direct marketing use unless we provide clear notice to you and obtain your explicit consent for your data to be shared in this manner.
For the above purposes, personal information may be transferred to recipients in countries around the world (which may be located outside the EU/EEA) which in some cases may have a lower level of protection than that within the EU/EEA. When transferring personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA, to jurisdictions that did not receive an adequacy decision by the European Commission, we use standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure a sufficient level of protection for your personal information. The standard contractual clauses can be found via the following link: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/transfer/index_en.htm.
Data Retention
Tech InsideOut stores the personal information as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the data has been collected. This means that Tech InsideOut deletes your personal information when such information is no longer necessary, unless we have a legitimate interest to retain such data for longer periods or are required to do so by any applicable law. Statistics which has been anonymised may be saved thereafter. [Please confirm that such retention policies are in place]

You have the right to request a copy of your personal information from our record. You have the right to request a limitation of the use of your personal information (for example if you deem the information to be incorrect) or the termination of use of your personal information (for example as regards the use of the information to improve our services).
