How we collect your information

We may collect your personal information directly from you or from a variety of sources, including:

• Our online services such as websites, social media and mobile device application (‘Apps’)
• An application form for a product or service
• Phone, email or written conversations with us
• Third Party providers who enable us to collect information that they have about you, with your consent

We may also collect personal information about you from places such as business directories and other commercially or publicly available sources. An example of this is to check or improve the information we already hold, like your contact details if we have problems contacting you.

What we use your information for

We take your privacy extremely seriously. The very existence of Techflo is down to the importance we place on individuals being able to own and control their data. We will only ever collect and use information which is personal to you where it is necessary, fair and lawful to do so.

We will collect and use your information only where:

• You have given us your explicit consent to send you information about products and services offered by Techflo
• Doing so is necessary to provide the product or service you have requested. We will make this clear to you before you subscribe to a product or service.
• It’s necessary for us to meet our legal and/or regulatory obligations

If you do not wish us to collect and use your personal information in these ways, it may mean that we will be unable to provide you with our products or services, or that your use of these products or services be more limited.

We sometimes use computer systems to make automated decisions based on personal information that you have given us or have permitted us to collect from third parties about you. These automated decisions can affect the products, services or features we offer you now or in the future.

Our goal is that our products and services are tailored to your individual needs based on what we learn about you, using your data. 

Who we may share your information with

We may share your information with:

• Anyone who works for us when they need it to do their job. All our employees are contractually obliged to uphold the privacy of your data as explained in this Privacy Policy.
• Any organisation which supports any of our products or services that you use, when they need it to offer those products or services. All our third-party suppliers are contractually obliged to uphold the privacy of your data as explained in this Privacy Policy.
• Our regulators and Supervisory Authority, as is required by Pakistan and worldwide law.

We will never sell your personal information to someone else. Whenever we share your personal information, we will do so in line with our obligations to keep your information safe and secure and only after obtaining your explicit consent.

How we protect your information

We take information and system security very seriously and we strive to comply with our obligations at all times. Any personal information which is collected, recorded or used in any way, whether on paper, online or any other media, will have appropriate safeguards applied in line with our data protection obligations.

How long we keep your information

We will keep your personal information only as long as it is necessary to provide you with our products or services while you are a customer.

If you have applied for a job at Techflo we will keep your personal information throughout the application process.

• If you are successful and become an employee, we will keep your personal information in line with our privacy policy for employees.
• If you are unsuccessful, we will not keep identifiable personal information about you. We may anonymise your information to help us improve our recruitment processes.

We may also keep your information after this period but only where required to meet our legal or regulatory obligations. The length of time we keep your information for these purposes will vary depending on the obligations we need to meet, but the maximum length of time is usually 7 years.

Your individual rights

You have several rights in relation to your personal information:

• The right to receive clear and easy to understand information on what personal information we have, why and who we share it with – we do this in our Privacy Policy and privacy notices.
