Privacy Policy

Revised date: 2023-08-30

This Privacy Policy applies to the company and explains how we collect, record, hold, store, use, disclose or otherwise process (collectively “Process”) personal information.

Personal information (also referred to as “personal data” in some jurisdictions) is any information, or a combination of pieces of information, that can be used to identify you or that we can link to you, including but not limited to a name, address, email address or telephone number.

Our primary activity is assisting our clients in relation to their own loyalty and rewards programs and other customer related marketing functions, and helping our retailer clients and their suppliers understand their business performance and customer behavior (together, “Programs”). Where you are a member of, or otherwise participate in a Program, or are interested in or eligible to become a member of a Program, we may have access to your personal information. We Process this personal information on behalf of our clients, and our clients are responsible for its collection and use. Where European data protection law applies, Seekda entities are ‘processors’ of this personal information and, where they are required to by applicable data protection law, our clients will explain more about how personal information is used in their Programs.

Despite the above, we collect some personal information for our own use and this Privacy Policy describes the purposes for which we carry out that Processing. Unless we inform you otherwise, the Seekda entity that you enquire about, communicate with, whose website you visit (where that website links to this Privacy Policy), or that you receive services from or provide services to is responsible for the collection and use of your personal information. Where European data protection law applies, this entity is known as the ‘controller’.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to:

the Air Miles Middle East program, which has its own distinct privacy policy available on the Air Miles Middle East website that describes how personal information is used in that program; or

collection and use of information relating to our staff (including our employees, interns, consultants, and independent contractors). These individuals can obtain further information about the Processing of their personal information by contacting their local People & Culture department; or

collection and use of personal information during our recruitment processes. Further information about the Processing of personal information during the recruitment process can be obtained by contacting your local People & Culture department.

To ask questions about our privacy practices, change your marketing preferences, issue a complaint or exercise any of the rights that applicable data protection law grants you in relation to your personal information, please contact us using the details at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Our websites are not directed toward individuals under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly or intentionally collect or process personal information from individuals under the age of 16.

Our website does not honour “do not track” settings on web browsers and does not offer you the opportunity to request that we not track your use of its services except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy or our Cookie Policy.

2. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We Process your personal information to:

communicate with you regarding our companies, products and services;

supply products or services to you and our clients;

For example, we may make automated decisions about you based on your personal information to show tailored content on our websites. These types of decisions will not have legal or similar effects for you, but you can still contact us for further information.

European data protection law requires us to have a legal basis to Process your personal information. In most cases where we need a legal basis, it will be one of the following:

to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, for example to provide the services you have requested. Failure to provide this information may prevent or delay the fulfilment of these contractual obligations;

to comply with our legal obligations; or

to meet our legitimate interests, for example to understand how you use our services and to enable us to derive knowledge from that information to develop new services. When we Process personal information to meet our legitimate interests, we put in place robust safeguards to ensure that your privacy is protected and to ensure that our legitimate interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

We may also obtain your consent to collect and Process certain types of personal information when we are required to do so by law (for example, in relation to our direct marketing activities, our use of cookies and similar technologies (for more information please see our Cookie Policy)). If we ask for your consent to Process your personal information, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details at the end of this Privacy Policy.

In carrying out our business, we may share your personal information with third parties, For example:

Affiliated companies: we may share personal information, including for example, information relating to your inquiry about our services, between with and among our affiliated companies.

Service providers: like most large organisations we use a range of service providers to help us maximise the quality and efficiency of our services and our business operations. This means that individuals and organisations outside of Seekda, such as primary and secondary research providers, analytics, insight and consultancy providers, reward fulfilment suppliers and mail houses, will sometimes have access to personal information held by us and may use it on our behalf.

Law enforcement agencies, courts, regulators, government authorities or other third parties: we may share personal information with these parties where we believe this is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, or otherwise to protect our rights or the rights of any third party.

Asset purchasers: we may share personal information with any third party that purchases, or to which we transfer, any of our assets and business. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to ensure that the entity to which we transfer your personal information uses it in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

3. TRANSFERRING PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH IT WAS COLLECTED

We may disclose personal information to destinations outside the jurisdiction from which it was collected.

The privacy laws of the countries to which we transfer personal information may not provide the same level of protection as the privacy laws of the country from which the personal information was collected or be regarded as ensuring an adequate level of protection for personal information under European data protection law. However, this does not change our commitments to safeguard your privacy and we will put in place appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable legal requirements to ensure that your personal information is adequately safeguarded. For more information on the appropriate safeguards in place, please contact us using the details below.
