The Brankas Privacy Notice and Consent Form (Privacy Notice) applies to Brankas Pte. Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Brankas”, “we”, “our” or “us”). This Privacy Notice represents our commitment to treat your personal information with the utmost care, transparency, and confidentiality. This Privacy Notice only covers the information that Brankas collects, uses, and shares. It does not explain what the third party with which you have an underlying obligation does with any information they may collect about you, separately from Brankas. This Privacy Notice also does not cover any websites, platforms, products, or services provided by third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies or notices of third parties for information about their practices, and we hope you will take some time to read this Privacy Notice.
With this Privacy Notice, we present transparently that we gather, store, and handle personal data fairly and in accordance with the law. As part of our drive to serve you better, we need to obtain and process your information. This includes any offline or online data that makes a person identifiable such as names, addresses, usernames and passwords, digital footprints, photographs, social security numbers, financial data, etc.
Brankas collects or processes this information only with end users’/data subjects’ full knowledge, cooperation, and consent. Once this information is available to us, the following rules apply.
Your data will be kept up-to-date, collected, or processed fairly and for lawful purposes only. The information you give us will be processed within legal boundaries in accordance with the applicable data privacy law in which you are located and will be protected against any unauthorized or illegal access by internal or external parties. You are free to exercise your rights under the law as a Data Subject, and we fully respect the same.
Your data will not be distributed to any party other than the ones you have consented to and agreed to (exempting those compellable to be disclosed by law and legitimate requests from courts of competent jurisdiction and law enforcement authorities). Without your express consent as the Data Subject, your data will not be communicated or transferred, informally or in any manner, to any other person, entity, organization, or country.
In addition to our methods of handling the data, Brankas has direct obligations toward Data Subjects to whom the data belongs. We allow Data Subjects to modify, erase, reduce, or correct data contained in our databases in line with their rights under the applicable privacy law in which they are located. We maintain provisions in our systems in cases of lost or corrupted data.
Brankas is committed to restricting and monitoring access to sensitive data for your protection. Our officers and employees will be trained in online privacy and data security and establish data protection practices and policies (secure locks, data encryption, access authorization, etc.). In addition, security measures will be built through a secure network to protect data from cyber-attacks.
We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time. If we make changes to our Privacy Notice, we will announce such a fact on the Brankas website (https://brankas.com) and other communication channels within 7 (seven) working days after the changes take effect with the effective date updated at the top of this Privacy Notice. In case any inconsistency with other Brankas policies regarding data, information, and system security measures, this Privacy Notice shall prevail. For any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Notice, you may send them to privacy@brankas.com chat, through the widget in the lower right corner, with our Support Team at https://brankas.com/.
