Subject to modifications in specific countries, the legal bases for the processing are as follows:
      1. In order to engage in transactions with you, suppliers and business partners, to communicate with you and to process payments and to give you access to the Services, we need to process information about you as necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.
      2.

    2. Relying on our legitimate interests: We have carried out balancing tests for all the data processing we carry out on the basis of our legitimate interests, which we have described above.  You can obtain information on any of our balancing tests by contacting us using the details set out in this Policy.
    3. In all other countries (except in the EU or in jurisdictions where similar EU flavoured requirements exist), our justification for processing your personal data will be based on your consent and acceptance of the Terms of Service and this Policy.
  7. WHEN DO WE SHARE THE PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT
    1. Subject to obtaining your consent as may be required in some jurisdictions, we may share or disclose your personal data as necessary for the purposes described above and as further detailed below:
      1. Affiliates. We may disclose the information we collect from you to our affiliates. Where permitted by law and with your consent where required, our affiliates may use your information for the purposes indicated in this document, including, marketing their products and services to you. In processing your personal data, our affiliates follow practices at least as protective as those described on this Policy. A list of our affiliates is available here.
      2. Integration of our services.Our Services are offered through JLR. Therefore, we will need to share your personal data with them to assist us in providing the Services to you. We also may share your personal data with companies that are system integrators, JLR retailers, network partners, in order to provide you with the Services.
      3. Third-Party Service Providers.We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions that are necessary for the provision of the Services or for the purposes described above. Examples include: sending communications, processing payments, assessing credit and compliance risks to give you access to our Services, analysing data, conducting customer relationship management, and engaging network partners, contractors or agents, who perform functions on our behalf. These third parties include other carriers or providers that we may disclose personal data to where necessary to provide our Services or fulfil your requests or orders, service/order fulfilment, customer service, and effecting payment, among others. These third-party service providers have access to personal data needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes where they process your personal data on our behalf. Whenever we share personal data with third parties, we take steps to ensure that third party contracts contain appropriate protections for your personal data.
      4. Business Transfers. If we are acquired by or merge with another company, or if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another company (which may occur as part of bankruptcy proceedings), we may transfer your personal data to the other company. We may also need to disclose your personal data before any such acquisition or merger, for example to our advisers and any prospective purchaser's adviser.
      5. Legal Protection and in Response to Legal Process. We may disclose the information we collect from you in order to (i) comply with applicable law, judicial proceedings, court orders or other legal requirements or, (ii) when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to government requests, including government authorities outside of your country of residence, for national security and/or law enforcement purposes. As noted above, the personal data we collect from you may be shared with government authorities or law enforcement officials for the purposes above if we believe, in good faith, that we are obliged to do so, if there are compelling reasons of public interest for us to do so or if required for the legal protection of our commercial, financial, legal, reputational or other legitimate interests in compliance with the applicable laws.
      6. Sharing Aggregated and De-Identified Information. We may use your personal data to create aggregated and anonymised information which we may share with third parties. Nobody can identify you from that anonymised information. In other circumstances we may pseudonymise your personal data before sharing it with a third party so that we can reassociate you with the information once it has been processed and returned to us.  Whilst the third party will not be able to identify you from the pseudonymised information, we will still be able to do so. We treat pseudonymised data as though it were personal data and ensure the same level of protection for it when sharing with third parties.
      7. For relevant jurisdictions only (e.g. Japan or China): you hereby consent to us sharing your data with the third parties or categories of third parties listed in this clause.
  8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA
    1. Subject to obtaining your consent as required in some jurisdictions, Tata Communications may transfer personal data across national borders. In doing so, your personal data may be transferred to and processed by other Tata Communications entities and/or unrelated third parties.
    2. All Tata Communications entities have signed an intra-group agreement applicable to transfer of personal data outside of the EU or to jurisdictions which do not provide adequate levels of protection according to the applicable law. A list of our affiliates and their location is available here.This agreement is based on the EU Commission standard contractual clauses (and which therefore contractually impose a standard of protection for the personal data that is equivalent to that offered within the EU). This way we ensure that adequate protections are in place for the security of your personal data when we transfer it to one of our affiliates, wherever they may be located in the world. You can obtain a copy of these clauses by contacting us.
    3. When we share your personal data with third parties unrelated to the Tata Communications Group, we require all such third parties to respect the security of that personal data and to treat it in accordance with applicable data protection laws. [For India only: We also ensure that at the very least, the same level of data protection is adhered to by the third parties, as is provided to you by us.] Where we engage third-party service providers to process your personal data on our behalf, we do not allow them to use that personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process it for our own specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. When initiating such processor relationships, we will ensure that adequate safeguards are in place for your personal data using the data transfer mechanism most appropriate to the personal data and the countries within or to which the personal data may be transferred. Where permitted by law, this mechanism may include: the use of the EU approved contractual clauses; ensuring that the recipient has implemented EU approved Binding Corporate Rules governing transfer or personal data;  or (in the US) is Privacy Shield Certified (EU and Swiss Privacy Shield); or confirming that the country in which the recipient is located has been formally confirmed as providing adequate protections for personal data by the EU. 
    4. For relevant jurisdictions only (e.g. Mexico, Russia, China and Argentina): By using the Services, you expressly agree to the transfers of personal data to third countries where this requires your consent.
  9. WHAT RIGHTS DO I HAVE IN RELATION TO MY PERSONAL DATA?

    2. In addition, in certain countries, you can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing). Where applicable, you can also withdraw the consent you have given us to process your personal data and request information on the consequences of not providing such consent.
    3. These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, where they would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights) or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping
    4. To exercise any of these rights, to raise any concerns about our privacy practices, or to obtain other information, you can get in touch with us, see our contact details above.  For Australia only: We will consider your communication carefully and will respond to you within 30 days of your communication with us.

  10. HOW LONG WILL YOU RETAIN MY PERSONAL DATA
    1. We retain personal data for as long as and/or for no longer than we are permitted to do by applicable law, regulation, tax or accounting practice or the terms of any governmental telecoms licenses to which we may be subject. We also delete or anonymise personal data in accordance with any obligations that we may be subject to.
    2. Where maximum or minimum data retention periods are not otherwise stipulated, we determine an appropriate retention period for the personal data by considering: the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data contained in the records;  the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal data; the purposes for which we process the personal data and whether we may be able achieve those purposes through other means.
    3. For China only: your personal data may be stored in countries in which we transfer personal data as per clause 7 above.
  11. DATA SECURITY

    2. We have put in place reasonable controls (including physical, technological and administrative measures) designed to help safeguard the personal data that we collect via the sites. No security measures are perfect, however, and so we cannot assure you that personal data that we collect will never be accessed or used in an unauthorised way, which may happen due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control. We have put in place procedures to deal with a suspected personal data breach, and we shall notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
