How do we collect information?
Daqua Ltd collects information in two possible ways:
a. When you directly give it to us ("Directly Provided Data")
When you purchase our products or communicate with us, you may choose to voluntarily give us certain information − for example, by filling in text boxes, completing enquiry forms or by providing your details by telephone or email. All this information requires a direct action by you at that time in order for us to receive it.
b. When you give us permission to obtain from other accounts ("User Authorised Data")
Depending on your settings or the privacy policies for other online services, you may give us permission to obtain information from your account with those other services. For example, this can be via social media or by choosing to send us your location data when accessing our website from your smartphone.
Daqua Ltd will not retain your personal information longer than necessary. We will hold onto the information you provide either while your account is in existence, or as needed to be able to provide the Services to you, or (in the case of any contact you may have with us regarding after-sales support) for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.
If legally required or if it is reasonably necessary to meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our Terms and Conditions, we may also retain some of your information for a limited period of time as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the Services to you.
Daqua Ltd will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information gathered to anyone.
