2. Collection and use of your Personal Information:
Depending on whether you or the business you work for is a customer, supplier or other business contact of Trajan, or are applying for employment with Trajan, we may collect various types of Personal Information about you. This may include:
- Information used to communicate with you, such as your name, address, telephone numbers, email address and job title;
- Payment or tax information such as your business identification or registration numbers, your tax file number, bank account details, credit status and purchasing history;
- Information obtained through your online interactions with Trajan such as your IP address or cookie identifiers;
- Information contained in your application for employment such as your resume, age, education, professional history and contact details.
We will only collect and use the Personal Information which is necessary for our business purposes, to perform a contract with you, or to comply with our legal obligations.
In particular, Trajan may use your Personal Information to enable us to, as relevant:
- provide our products and services and technical support to our customers;
- acquire goods or services from our suppliers;
- explore potential business opportunities and work with our business partners;
- carry out transactions;
- provide more effective customer service;
- communicate with you, such as in relation to industry events or to let you know of other products and/or services which might interest you or the company you work for;
- enhance your experience on our websites; or
- process your application for employment, consider you for future positions and carry out human resources functions in accordance with applicable law.
The Personal Information we request is optional for you to provide, but we may not be able to fulfil your request or provide you with our products and services without that information. To protect your privacy, you should not provide any information that is not specifically requested. Sometimes there are situations where we are required by law to collect certain Personal Information from you and if this is the case, we will inform you of the law that imposes this requirement. Where reasonably practical, we will collect your Personal Information only directly from you. However, in some circumstances we may also collect Personal Information from a third party (such as a credit report agency), or from publicly available sources of information.
We will not use your Personal Information in a manner that is inconsistent with the purpose of its original collection, unless you have consented.
Trajan will only retain your Personal Information for as long as we reasonably require it for our business purposes, or as required by applicable laws or regulations.
3. Disclosure of your Personal Information:
Trajan is a global organisation with legal entities, business processes and technical systems that operate across borders. From time to time, we may disclose your Personal Information to other entities in the Trajan group and other third parties necessary to process your transactions, service your account or provide you with our goods and/or services. Examples of such third parties include auditors, accountants, lawyers, advisers and credit reporting agencies.
Where Trajan engages a third party to process any Personal Information on its behalf, we will have in place an appropriate data processing agreement which protects your Personal Information as required by law. Where we transfer your Personal Information to another country, we will always take appropriate measures to protect your Personal Information and comply with applicable laws relating to cross-border transfers.
4. Your rights in relation to the Personal Information we collect from you:
Trajan takes all reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. You have the right to request access to the Personal Information we are holding about you, and to request that any inaccurate Personal Information is deleted or corrected without delay.
If you no longer do business with us and we no longer need your Personal Information for the purposes which we collected it for or to comply with a legal obligation, you can also ask us to delete or de-identify the Personal Information we hold about you.
If you wish to access your Personal Information, or request that it be corrected or deleted, please make your request directly to Trajan using the contact details set out below.
5. Protection of your Personal Information:
Trajan takes all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your Personal Information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. We do this by ensuring that our systems, databases and facilities are secure, that our employees and associates are bound by and comply with our policies and procedures regarding Personal Information and confidentiality, and by putting in place appropriate contractual terms with third parties. While we will take all reasonable and appropriate steps, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of your Personal Information.
