We have no influence on the content or privacy policy of third-party Electronic Services and therefore cannot assume any responsibility for them.

  1. Disclosure of electronic services usage data

Calton Industries only discloses Electronic Services usage data to third parties as permitted by law, if we are legally obliged to do so or if such disclosure becomes necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from a contractual relationship. Within this scope as well as for the purpose of optimising our products and services, we may transmit data within the Calton Industries between Group companies in United Arab Emirates or abroad. Furthermore, we may disclose data to external service providers if this is necessary for the provision of products and services. Such service providers may not use the data for any other purpose than to process the order in question. All of the above persons and entities that may receive data must observe the applicable national and international data protection laws as well as the data protection standards of Calton Industries . Where so prescribed by applicable legislation, Calton Industries may on request or under an ongoing duty to provide information disclose data to supervisory authorities, judicial authorities, or other persons of authority.

  1. Security measures of Calton

Calton Industries will make every effort to take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to ensure that your personal data processed within the IT environment controlled by Calton Industries is protected against unauthorised access, misuse, loss and/or destruction, taking account of the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Calton Industries takes both physical and electronic process-specific security measures, including firewalls, personal passwords, and encryption and authentication technologies. Our employees and the service providers commissioned by us are bound by professional secrecy and must comply with all data protection provisions.

Additionally, access to personal data is restricted to only those employees, contractors and third parties who require this access in order to assure the purpose of data processing and the provision of products and services (need to know principle).

  1. Transmission of data via an open network

Calton Industries would like to draw your attention to the fact that if you use our Electronic Services via an open network, this may allow third parties (e.g., app stores, network providers or the manufacturer of your device), wherever they are located, to access and process your data. Open networks are beyond Calton Industries ’s control and can therefore not be regarded as a secure environment. Any transmission of data via such open network cannot be guaranteed to be secure or error-free as data may be intercepted, amended, corrupted, lost, destroyed, arrive late or incomplete, contain viruses or may be monitored. In particular, data sent via an open network may leave the country – even where both sender and recipient are in the same country – and may be transmitted to and potentially processed in third-party countries, where data protection requirements may be lower than in your country of residence.

Where data is transmitted via an open network, we cannot be held responsible for the protection of this data, and we accept no responsibility or liability for the security of your data during transmission. We, therefore, recommend avoiding the transmission of any confidential information via open networks.
