Where the PI you provide us is used for direct marketing, including sending you emails in a personal capacity. You may at any time withdraw your consent, at which point we will cease to send you emails and bulletins, by contacting us via the “Contacting us” section below.
Who We Share Your PI With
Your PI may be transferred between Alpha affiliates throughout the world, and with certain third parties, such as:
- service providers that provide services on our behalf;
- legal and other professional advisors and auditors; and
- regulators and law enforcement agencies.
When third parties are given access to your PI, Alpha will take the required contractual, technical and organizational measures to ensure that your PI is only processed to the extent necessary. Third parties will only process your PI in accordance with applicable law.
Cross-border transfers of your PI
Due to the global nature of our organization, Alpha may transfer your PI to countries or territories outside your place of residence, where data protection laws may not offer the same level of protection available in your home country. When we transfer your PI to recipients in other countries, we will protect that PI as described in this Privacy Statement.
If you are located in the EEA or any country considered “adequate” by the European Commission, where we transfer your PI to countries (for example, to our offices in Singapore and the US), we will comply with applicable legal requirements to provide adequate protection for the transfer of PI to recipients outside these territories. We protect your PI by entering into contractual agreements with recipient that incorporate the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Where we transfer PI to third party recipients that are certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, we may rely on this certification to protect your PI.] If you would like to receive a copy of the safeguards we have relied on to protect your PI when transferred to another country, please contact us via the channels set out in the “Contacting Us” section below. You may also find a copy of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and related information at the Europa website (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en).
Data Security
Whilst Alpha takes all reasonable precautions to protect PI from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction and complies with data protection laws, data transmission over the internet may not be adequately secured by the sender. As a result, Alpha cannot ensure the secure receipt of any information that is sent to Alpha by this medium and any such information is sent at your own risk.
Data Retention
We will only hold your PI for as long as required to undertake the purposes of our processing, plus a prescribed period of time as required or permitted by national laws in your jurisdiction.

- to request the rectification of any inaccurate PI that we hold about you;
- to request the erasure of your PI in certain circumstances;
