a) We will process your personal data to fulfil our contract with you: As to Art. 6-1-b-GDPR, where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract, processing of personal data will be lawful. Therefore, to fulfil our contract with you, such as providing our AAZZUR services to you and developing and providing a high-quality user experience through the AAZZUR app, your personal data is processed.

b) We will process your personal data to fulfil our legal obligations:
As to Art. 6-1-c-GDPR, where the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, processing of personal data will be lawful. Therefore, to verify your identity when you apply for an AAZZUR account, to check applications against certain fraud prevention and sanctions databases, to implement measures to identify and prevent financial crime (for example, money laundering, fraud and terrorist financing), to make responsible lending decisions, your personal data is processed.
We utilise the latest technology to make automated decisions for the verification of identities and the identification of financial crime. If you are rejected or negatively affected on the basis of an automated decision or automated profiling, you will be notified about this and you have the right to appeal.

c) We will process your personal data, if the processing is necessary for our legitimate interest:
As to Art. 6-1-f-GDPR, where the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, processing of personal data will be lawful.
Therefore, it is in our legitimate interests to use your personal data to keep you informed of the status of the AAZZUR services you use, to provide a great customer service experience, to check applications against certain fraud prevention databases. When we and fraud prevention agencies process your personal data, we do so on the basis that we have a legitimate interest in preventing fraud and money laundering, in order to protect our business and to comply with the laws that apply to us. Such processing is also a contractual requirement of the services or financing you have requested.

Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

d) Object to processing of your personal data. This is in situations where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights. AAZZUR is under certain obligations to process and retain certain data for compliance purposes.

This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. Please note that any requests in relation to the restriction of the processing of your data means that we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (including the AAZZUR Services). In this case, we may have to cancel your use of the AAZZUR Services, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

11. Marketing

11.1 We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. We have established the following personal data control mechanisms:

a) Promotional offers from us. We may use your personal data and location data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, Services and offers may be relevant for you. You may receive promotional communications from us via email, SMS, in-app messages, telephone or post if you have requested information from us or signed up to use our Services, or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that communication.

b) Third-party marketing. We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside the AAZZUR Limited for marketing purposes.

c) Retargeting. Sometimes we use social media sites to retarget/remarket our products and Services to a similar audience as that of our existing customer base. Some of the data that we disclose to social media sites is Aggregated Data or anonymized data. We will only disclose your personal data to social media sites if we have your consent or it is in our legitimate interests to do so.

d) Opting out. You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you our marketing messages at any time by logging into our App and checking or unchecking relevant boxes under account settings, to adjust your marketing preferences or by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time. Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/Service purchase, product/Service experience or other transactions.

12. Retaining your information

12.1 We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements unless (i) the law requires us to hold your personal information for a longer period, or delete it sooner, (ii) you exercise your right to have your personal data erased from our systems (where it applies) (iii) we have a legitimate reason to keep it (for example, helping us to respond to queries or complaints, to show that we have given you fair treatment, in the fight against financial crime).

13.1 You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request based on the circumstances set out GDPR.

14. What we may need from you

14.1 We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

15. Time limit to respond

15.1 We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

16. If you fail to provide personal data

16.1 Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (including the AAZZUR Services). In this case, we may have to cancel your use of the AAZZUR Services, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
