Information about our customers is an essential part of our business, which we will not sell to others. SDT shares customers’ personal information only as described below and with parties that are either subject to this Privacy Policy or subject to the same data protection regulations as SDT.

  • Third-party service providers: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders for products, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, processing payments, scoring credit risk, and providing customer service. These third-party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Furthermore, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted by applicable data protection laws.
  • Business developments: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In these cases, customer information is typically one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy(unless the customer consents otherwise). To be noted that, the event that SDT or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
  • Protection of SDT and others: We release account and other personal information when we believe is it needed to comply with the law, to enforce our Terms and Conditions and other agreements, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of SDT, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Transfers out of the European Economic Area: Whenever we transfer personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted by the applicable laws on data protection.

We design our systems and devices with your security and privacy in mind.

  • We use physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards when it comes to the collection, storage, and disclosure of personal customer information. This also mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
  • It is essential that you protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computers, devices, and applications. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer. You may not share your password with third parties without the written consent of SDT, as this is the only way to ensure the security of your data.
