Last update: May 1st, 2023


Angelcare Holding Inc. and its affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, “Angelcare”“we”“us”“our”), acting as data controllers, are committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding your Personal Data. The purpose of this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) is to provide you with information about our privacy practices, including how we collect, use, and disclose your Personal Data.
This Policy applies when you visit or use any of our websites, including 
www.angerlcaregroup.com, and any other website managed, operated and/or administered by or on behalf of Angelcare (our “Site”). This Policy also applies to any other product, service or application we offer, and which refers or links to this Policy, including:

  • Use of our products, services, and applications
  • Information shared or posted on our Sites, our blogs or our social media accounts
  • Any other case where you provide us with Personal Data

Please review this Policy carefully. By submitting your Personal Data to us, by registering for or using any of the services we offer, by using our Site, or by voluntarily interacting with us, you consent to our collecting, using and disclosing your Personal Information as set out in this Policy, as revised from time to time.

What We Mean by “Personal Data”

Throughout this Policy, “Personal Data ” means any information about an individual that directly or indirectly allows that individual to be identified, such as name, phone number, postal and email address, payment details, online tracking identifiers such as IP addresses, or any other information that, when used in combination with other available information, allows a person to be identified, such as a person’s age, occupation, and place of work.

Personal Data does not include information that has been anonymized or aggregated in such a way that there is no serious possibility it can be used to identify an individual, whether on its own or in combination with other information.

 

Your Consent to Collection, Use and Disclosure

Angelcare collects, uses and discloses Personal Data that you provide to us with your consent.

We collect, use and disclose your Personal Data with your consent, or as permitted or required by law. How we obtain your consent and its form (i.e., whether express or implied) depends on the circumstances and well as the sensitivity of the information collected. When information is considered sensitive in nature, express consent is typically required before it can be collected. Otherwise, for other types of information, consent is usually implied. If you choose to provide us with your Personal Data, we will assume that you consent to its collection, use and disclosure as set out in this Policy.

Your consent is valid only for the purposes for which it was requested. Otherwise, if we want to use your Personal Data for a purpose other than the one identified at the time of collection, we will seek your consent prior to such new use.

You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your Personal Data at any time by contacting us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below. Before we can process your request, we may require proof of your identity. In some cases, withdrawal of your consent may mean that we will no longer be able to provide certain products or services.

If you provide us with the Personal Data of another individual, you are responsible for obtaining the consent of that individual to enable us to collect, use and disclose their information.

Please note that if you opt-out from receiving marketing-related emails, we may still need to send you communications about your use of our products or services, or other matters.

 

How Long We Retain Personal Data

We will use, disclose or retain your Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which that Personal Information was collected or as permitted or required by law.

 

Where We Store Personal Data, and Information about International Transfers

We currently process and store Personal Data in North America, Europe and the UK where ANGELCARE has establishments, and in other countries where we use third party service providers. It is therefore possible that we transfer Personal Data to countries other than your country/province/state of residence, where privacy rules may be different.

If your Personal Data is processed outside of your country/province/state of residence, it is subject to the laws of the country/province/state in which it is located and may be disclosed to the governments, courts, law enforcement agencies or regulatory bodies of that other country or disclosed in accordance with the laws of such country. However, our practices regarding your Personal Data will at all times be governed by this Policy and applicable privacy laws and, if applicable, we will comply with the GDPR requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of Personal Data from the EU/EEA to third country, such as standard contractual clauses.

 

How We Protect Your Personal Data

We have implemented physical, organizational, contractual and technological security measures in order to protect your Personal Data from loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. For example, we have taken steps to ensure that access to Personal Data within Angelcare is granted only to those with a business ‘need-to-know’ or whose duties reasonably require such information. We also follow generally accepted standards and implement appropriate levels of security to protect the Personal Data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Lastly, all third parties that obtain Personal Data from us are contractually required to protect that information in a manner consistent with this Policy and/or as required by applicable law.

Despite the measure outlined above, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure or error-free, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. 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 information that you provided to us has been compromised), please contact us immediately using the contact information in the “Contact Us” section below.
