Your privacy and trust are important to us and this Privacy Statement (“Statement”) provides important information about how Stratagem Tech Solutions Limited handles personal information. This Statement applies to our website, application, product, software, or service that links to it (collectively, our “Services”). Occasionally, a Service will link to a different Privacy Statement that will outline the particular privacy practices of that Service.
Please read this Statement carefully and contact us if you have any questions about our privacy practices or your personal information choices. It is important that you check back often for updates to this Statement. If we make changes we consider to be important, we will let you know by placing a notice on the relevant Services and/or contact you using other methods such as email.
We collect personal information that is provided voluntarily by visitors to our web sites through the use of enquiry forms and every time you e-mail us your details, so that we can offer information and/or services to those individuals.
Personal Information
Stratagem Tech Solutions Limited is committed to the responsible handling and protection of personal information.
Personal information means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person.
We collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store personal information when needed to provide our Services and for our operational and business purposes as described in this Statement. We want to be clear about our privacy practices so that you can make informed choices about the use of your information, and we encourage you to contact us at any time with questions or concerns.
The types of personal information we collect
We collect personal information from you, for example, if you request information, purchase or use our Services. We may ask you to provide information such as your name address, phone number and email address. Not all of the personal information Stratagem Tech Solutions Limited holds about you will always come directly from you. It may, for example, come from your employer, other organizations to which you belong, or a professional service provider such as your tax or accounting professional or lawyers, if they use our Services. We also collect personal information from third parties such as our clients, 3rd party service providers, and publicly available websites, to offer Services we think may be of interest and to help us maintain data accuracy and provide and enhance the Services.
In addition, systems automatically collect certain information to help us administer, protect, and improve our Services; analyze usage; and improve users’ experience. We share personal information with others only as described in this Statement, or when we believe that the law permits or requires it.
Stratagem Tech Solutions Limited only collects “sensitive” personal information when it is volunteered or permitted by law or professional standards. Sensitive personal information is a subset of personal information and is generally defined as any information related to racial/ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health, and other medical information including biometric and genetic data, or sexual life or preferences. In some instances, sensitive personal information may also include criminal allegations or convictions, precise geolocation information, financial and bank account numbers, or unique identifiers such as government-issued national insurance numbers, driver’s license, and passport numbers.
For example, purchase our Services, we will collect payment information, such as financial or bank card information, and other information necessary for us to process the transaction. Information that is considered sensitive under applicable law will be handled in accordance with such laws.
