Usage Data

We log usage data when you visit or otherwise use our Services, such as when you view or click on content, or share articles. We use cookies or IP addresses to identify you and log your use.

How do we use your personal information?

We use personal information for the following purposes:

• to provide, improve and market our services
• to manage our business and our relationship with you and our clients
• to undertake analysis and research to help us manage our business
• to understand how our Site is used and to improve our Site
• to fulfil our legal, professional and ethical obligations
• to enforce or protect any of our rights, property or safety (or those of our members, employees or clients)

We may also use your personal information to contact you (including by telephone, email and other electronic means) about our services and events and to provide you with legal updates and briefings. If you no longer wish to receive information or marketing from us, please contact us at info@jiahkimlaw.com . To understand how your own personal information is processed, you may need to refer to any personal communications you have received or contact us to ask about your personal circumstances.

With whom do we share your personal information?

We will share your personal information with third parties (such as the police and other law enforcement agencies) where we are under a duty to do so in order to comply with any legal, professional or ethical obligation (such as to comply with our anti-money laundering obligations), or in order to enforce or protect any of our rights, property or safety (or those of our members, employees or clients).
In providing our services, we may give information and data to third parties such as expert witnesses, courts or tribunals, and other professional advisers.
We may also share your personal information with third parties who provide services to us. When we do so, they are required to act in accordance with our instructions and keep your personal information secure.
If we sell or buy any business or assets, we may disclose personal information held by us to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets. If substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party (or are subject to a reorganization), personal information held by us will be one of the transferred assets.

Lawful Bases of Processing

We will only collect and process personal information about you where we have lawful bases. Lawful bases of processing are as  following:

• Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes. Note: Under some legislations we may be allowed to process Personal Information until the User objects to such processing (“opt-out”), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases. This, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of Personal Information is subject to European data protection law;
• provision of Information is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
• processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject;
• processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;
• processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.

In any case, we will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Third party websites

From time to time we may include links on our Site that will enable you to access the websites of third parties directly from our Site. Each third party operates its own policy regarding the processing of personal information and the use of cookies on its website and you are advised to read the privacy policy and cookies policy on the relevant website. We do not accept any liability or responsibility for that third party’s use of your data or their use of cookies.

Data Retention

Personal Information shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for.

Therefore:

• Personal Information collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between us and the User shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed.
• Personal Information collected for the purposes of our legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfill such purposes. Users may find specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by us within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting us.

We may be allowed to retain Personal Information for a longer period whenever the User has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, we may be obliged to retain Personal Information for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.

Once the retention period expires, Personal Information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.

Opting Out

We may from time to time send you legal updates and mailings relating to our seminars or events that we think may be of interest to you. If you would prefer not to receive marketing mailings from us, you may unsubscribe from these marketing mailings by following the unsubscribe instructions in any such message or contact us. Your email address will be removed from our marketing list. Please allow us a reasonable period of time in order to satisfy your request.

If personal information you have submitted through any of the Sites is no longer accurate, current, or complete, and you wish to update it, please email us at info@jiahkimlaw.com. Upon appropriate request, we will be glad to update or amend your information, but we reserve the right to use information obtained previously to verify your identity or take other actions that we believe are appropriate and lawful. Furthermore, you may also oppose the processing or transferring of your personal information to the extent the laws of your country of residence require you to have a legitimate reason to do so. We will endeavor to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.

In addition, you have following rights regarding your Personal Information processed by us .

• Withdraw your consent at any time. You have the right to withdraw consent where you have previously given  consent to the processing of your Personal Information
• Object to processing of your Information. You have the right to object to the processing of Personal Information if the processing is carried out on a legal basis other than consent.

• Have your Personal Information deleted or otherwise removed.  You have the right, under certain circumstances, to obtain the erasure of your Information from us.
• Receive your Information and have it transferred to another controller. You have the right to receive your Information in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and, if technically feasible, to have it transmitted to another controller without any hindrance. This provision is applicable provided that the Information is processed by automated means and that the processing is based on your consent, on a contract which you are part of or on pre-contractual obligations thereof.
• Lodge a complaint. You have the right to bring a claim before their competent data protection authority.

DATA SECURITY

We have implemented commercially reasonable security measures to help protect your personal information from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access or disclosure; unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your User Information, we cannot ensure its security. You use the Services and provide us with information on your initiative and risk. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us using the details in the Contact Us section below.
