(E) Mobile Application(s)

Device permissions for personal data access

Depending on your specific device, PCM GROUP’s mobile application may request certain permissions that allow it to access your device data described below.

By default, these permissions must be granted by you before the respective information can be accessed. Once the permission has been given, it can be revoked by you at any time. In order to revoke these permissions, you may refer to the device settings or contact PCM GROUP for support at the contact details provided in the present document.

The exact procedure for controlling application permissions may be dependent on your device and software.

Please note that the revoking of such permissions might impact the proper functioning of PCM GROUP’s mobile application.

If you grant any of the permissions listed below, the respective personal data may be processed (i.e accessed to, modified or removed) by PCM GROUP’s mobile applications.

Approximate location permission (non-continuous)

Used for accessing your approximate device location. PCM GROUP’s mobile applications may collect, use, and share your location data in order to provide location-based services.

Your geographic location is determined in a manner that is not continuous. This means that it is impossible for PCM GROUP’s mobile applications to derive your approximate position on a continuous basis.

Phone permission

Used for accessing a host of typical features associated with your phone. This enables, for instance, read-only access to the “phone state”, which means it enables access to the phone number of the device, current mobile network information, or the status of any ongoing calls.

Storage permission

Used for accessing shared external storage, including the reading and adding of any items.

System logs and maintenance

For operation and maintenance purposes, PCM GROUP’s mobile application and any third-party services may collect files that record interaction with PCM GROUP’s mobile application (System logs) and use other personal data (such as the IP Address) for this purpose.

How “Do Not Track” requests are handled

PCM GROUP’s mobile application does not support “Do Not Track” requests. To determine whether any of the third-party services it uses honour the “Do Not Track” requests, please read their privacy policies.

(F) Right to Access and Correct Personal Data

You have the right to access, verify, update and correct your personal data held by us. We will make every endeavour to ensure your personal data is accurate and up-to-date therefore we ask that if there are any changes to your information you should notify us directly via the contact details provided in Section (H) below.

You will also have the right, under certain circumstances, to restrict the processing of your personal data. In this case, PCM GROUP will not process your personal data for any purpose other than storing it.

If you would like to access your personal data, please send a query to the contact details in Section (H) below. If you would like to correct your personal data, please contact us at the details provided in Section (H) below.

In relation to PCM GROUP’s mobile application, you will have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and if technically feasible, to have it transmitted to another controller without any hindrance. This provision is applicable provided that the data is processed by automated means and that the processing is based on your consent, on a contract which you are part of or on pre-contractual obligations thereof.

Legal action

Your personal data may be used for legal purposes by PCM GROUP in Court or in the stages leading to possible legal action arising from improper use of this Site or the related services.

You declare to be aware that PCM GROUP may be required to reveal personal data upon request of public authorities.

(G) Retention period

The personal data collected shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for. Therefore:

  • Personal data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between PCM GROUP and you shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed;
  • Personal data collected for the purposes of PCM GROUP’s legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfil such purposes. You may find specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by PCM GROUP within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting PCM GROUP.
  • PCM GROUP may be allowed to retain personal data for a long period if consent has been obtained for such processing, so long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, PCM GROUP may be obliged to retain personal data for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.

Once the retention period expires, personal data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, verify, update and correct your personal data cannot be enforced after the expiry of the retention period.
