As part of the normal operation of the Services we collect and, in some cases, disclose information about you including the personal data set out in Paragraph 2 and 3 of the Schedule 2 in the Framework in the Appendix (“Personal Data”). IQAX cares about your privacy and about the confidentiality and security of information you provided to us via the IQAX Platform. IQAX is committed to safeguarding your privacy. This IQAX Privacy and Security Statement explains how the Personal Data provided by Your Users and you will be processed in accordance with your instructions as you access and interact with the IQAX Platform or otherwise access and receive the Services. To address our mutual rights, duties and obligations arising as a result of the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and the Applicable Data Protection Laws that come into effect across the EU on 25 May 2018, in our provision of the Services, Your Users and you authorise IQAX to process Personal Data provided to IQAX or which is made available to it for the purposes of providing Services to Your Users and you pursuant to the contract of carriage and for any other purposes. In respect of any Personal Data you have provided to us to process for performing the contract of carriage, you shall be the “Data Controller” and IQAX shall be a “Data Processor” for the purposes of GDPR and/or the Applicable Data Protection Law. The terms in the Framework in the Appendix are incorporated in this Privacy and Security Statement. The Data Subjects, Categories of Personal Data, Processing Operations and Duration of Processing relevant to the provision of the Services are defined in Schedule 2 of the Framework in the Appendix. In addition to the provisions of this Privacy and Security Statement, there may also be specific and additional privacy provisions that apply to certain sections of the Services. As those specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, you should review them wherever they are accessible by you via the Services. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Privacy and Security Statement and those other specific and additional provisions, the other specific and additional provisions will prevail. 1. Acceptance and changes to Privacy and Security Statement This Privacy and Security Statement is incorporated into and subject to the Agreement as defined in the Terms of Use, which together is intended to constitute a single binding agreement of terms and conditions for your use of the Services. This Privacy and Security Statement shall supplement the Agreement as defined in the Terms of Use and, for the avoidance of doubt, terms defined therein shall have the same meanings in this Privacy and Security Statement unless the context herein indicates or requires otherwise. In the event of a conflict, the provisions of the Terms of Use will prevail. You acknowledge and accept that your use of or access to the Services indicates your acceptance to the Agreement as defined in the Terms of Use. This is the current Privacy and Security Statement. It replaces any other Privacy and Security Statement for the Services published on the IQAX Platform to date. As the Services develop and as technology evolves, IQAX will continue to strive to provide you with better and more customized services and with a more effective web site. IQAX may at any time and in its sole discretion revise the Privacy and Security Statement by publishing the amended terms and conditions on the IQAX Platform together with a notice that the Privacy and Security Statement has been updated or otherwise amended. You acknowledge and agree that by doing this, IQAX has provided you with sufficient notice of the variation, even where IQAX does not use additional means of notification. The amended Privacy and Security Statement shall be effective automatically upon being posted or on any later date specified in such notice. Your continued use of the Services will be deemed your full acceptance of the Agreement as defined in the Terms of Use, as amended. 2. Information and Personal Data We Collect (a) We collect information from you in order to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized service while enjoying services provided by IQAX. Some of this information may be of a form or format that identifies you or another person (“Personal Data”). (b) The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience. Please note that pursuant to Article 3.1 of the Terms of Use, you have the sole responsibility for the legality, reliability, integrity, accuracy and quality of all Your Data including Personal Data. (c) The Services offer a number of non-interactive and interactive services. We generally do not capture any Personal Data that you may enter when using the non-interactive service.

Your e-mail message content may be monitored by IQAX's employees for trouble shooting and maintenance purposes or where e-mail abuse is suspected. 8. Choices Provided by IQAX (a) You have the right to request IQAX not to use or retain Personal Data collected from you. However, we may retain in our files some of the Personal Data you have requested to be removed in some circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and/or enforce the Agreement as defined in the Terms of Use. Further, such prior information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical constraints and the fact that we back up our systems. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your Personal Data would be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests. Please contact Customer Care as stated in Section 12 to exercise your rights in this regard. (b) IQAX also provides users with tools to enable them to manage e-mails from IQAX. Upon registration, users may complete a user profile indicating whether they would like to receive promotional e-mails from IQAX. Users who indicate that they are not interested in receiving such e-mails are not included in promotional e-mail distributions from IQAX. Users have the ability to edit their profiles at any time to update their preference with regard to such e-mails, either by logging into the site, or by contacting IQAX Customer Services as stated in Section 12 below. Upon editing your profile, you can expect to be removed from promotional distributions within ten business days of the changes you make. In addition, all promotional e-mails from IQAX contain instructions on how the recipient can opt out of receiving similar e-mails in the future by replying to the e-mail. (c) IQAX communications such as administrative and technical notices, notices of new features and other messages relevant to your use of the Services may contain a link to a web page with instructions on how users can unsubscribe from these sorts of transactional messages. If you choose to unsubscribe to these messages, you will bear the risk that you may not receive messages that are important to your continued use of the Services. 9. Reviewing and Changing Your Personal Data (a) Through its interactive functions, IQAX allows many users to directly input changes to their preferences, passwords and Personal Data on an immediate basis.

Therefore, if the security of your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify us and change your password. (c) IQAX will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. Also remember to sign out of your IQAX account in the correct manner and close your browser window when you have finished your work.
