We share your personal data with third parties, including service providers, regulated institutions (e.g., financial institutions), affiliated entities, and business partners as set out in the table below.

In the section below, we also list the reasons why we share information.

How and Why We Share Your Information

If you do not want us to use your personal data for us to market to you, and/or to pass on to third parties for marketing purposes, please contact us through the various communication channels available, as listed under the Section titled “Contact Us, Questions, Updating Your Info, Opting Out” below.

Where We Store Your Data

All information you provide to us is stored in the servers of our cloud service providers. We take reasonable steps to ensure our service providers adhere to the security standards we apply to your information. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Our service providers’ servers are predominantly located in the USA, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Many of our service providers are also located outside of the above mentioned areas as well. While we use appropriate safeguards to keep your information secure, the laws in other places may differ from those in the above areas and authorities in those jurisdictions may access your information in accordance with their local laws.

Safeguards

Daltin takes the safeguarding of your information very seriously. We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of personal data in our custody and control, including limiting access to our database to legitimate users and employing device encryption and version tracking. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

Daltin promptly evaluates and responds to incidents that create suspicion of or indicate unauthorized access to or handling of personal data. If we become aware and determine that an incident involving personal data qualifies as a security breach leading to the unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure of personal data in our custody and control, we will notify you of such breach without undue delay. We will provide timely information relating to the breach as it becomes known or reasonably available to us and to the extent permitted by law.

Your Rights

You have certain rights relating to your personal data, subject to local data protection laws. Appendix 1 describes some of these rights in detail and explains how you can exercise them. Depending on the applicable laws, these rights may include the right to:

■ Be informed of how your personal data is used, collected, or shared;
■ Access your personal data;
■ Correct or rectify inaccuracies;
■ Erase your personal data (‘be forgotten’);
■ Restrict our processing of your personal data;
■ Obtain and reuse your personal data;
■ Object to the processing of your personal data;
■ Not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated-processing, including profiling;
■ Withdraw your consent; and
■ Right to report or complain.

You may access, update and correct inaccuracies in your personal data in our custody or control at any time, subject to limited exceptions prescribed by law. Simply log into your account, go to your account profile, and make the necessary changes.

You can also request access, corrections or updates other personal data in our records by contacting us as set out below. We may request certain personal data for the purposes of verifying the identity of the individual seeking access to their personal data records.

You may request your data be withdrawn (forgotten); this type of request can be performed assuming Daltin is in a legal position to fulfill such a request.

Should Daltin be able to comply with your request, only the personal data you provided will be forgotten. Non-personal data (“Metadata”) will be maintained regardless.

Should you wish to lodge a concern or complaint to Daltin, please contact us as set out below. We will respond to your concerns in a reasonable time, typically within 14 business days.

Please note that these rights are not absolute. In some cases, we may refuse a request to exercise particular rights if complying with it means that we are not able to meet our contractual obligations and provide our Services to you. We will keep you informed as to the actions that we can take when you make your request.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of our third-party service providers and recommend that you review their privacy policies carefully. We may communicate with our third-party service providers, to the extent permitted by law, when you make a request based on your personal data rights that involves the data collected by our third-party service providers. We will keep you informed on the status of your request in such cases.

Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms

We and our third-party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms (including tracking technologies designed for mobile applications) to track information about your use of our Website and Services. We may combine this information with other personal data we collect from you (and our third-party service providers may do so on our behalf).

Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Website and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Website and Service.

We may use cookies to bring together information we collect about you. You can choose to have your device warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. If you turn cookies off, you won’t have access to many features that make your guest experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly. Please see the last section of this Policy for more information about how to manage or disable browser cookies.

We use several categories of cookies and each performs different functions. You can learn more about cookies and their functions generally by visiting an information website like allaboutcookies.org.

There are four types of cookies:

The four types of cookies above will be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
■ Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Website or Services. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Website or Services.
■ Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to remember your user information, preferences and activity, to enable us to provide our services to you when you next return to our Website or Services.

HTML5 Storage. We may also store your user information and Website preferences locally within your web browser via HTML5.
Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages.

We and our third-party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
Changing or Disabling your Cookie Settings. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our Website who disable their web browsers’ ability to accept cookies will be able to browse the Website; however, most site features will not function if you disable cookies and you will not be able to login to use our services. You can withdraw consent to the placement of cookies at any time by accessing the Privacy Preference Centre on our Website under “Cookies Settings”. However, please note that in order to delete all cookies across all your devices you will need to separately adjust your cookie settings for each device.

Data Retention

Daltin will only retain your personal data while it is needed to fulfill the intended purpose for which it was collected or as otherwise permitted or required by law or contract (which may extend beyond the termination of our relationship with you). Typically, personal data is maintained during the time you are engaged in the institutional program you applied to, or for up to a year following our last contact with you. We may retain certain data as necessary for:

■ legitimate business purposes, such as auditing, account recovery;
■ if required by applicable federal, state, provincial or other laws;
■ to prevent fraud or future abuse, or ■ by contract with a partner and/or institution.

All retained personal data is treated in accordance with this Policy.

If you request that your personal data be removed from our databases and/or systems, it may not be possible to completely delete all your personal data due to technological and legal constraints. However, we will take such steps as are reasonable to securely destroy the information or to ensure that the information is de‑identified and/or anonymized as necessary.

Should you request additional services from Daltin which are subject to this Policy, you will be authorizing the extension of the data collection and/or processing purpose as a result.

When We Collect Your Information and How We Use It

Daltin collects and uses different types of personal data from Originator Users (i.e., schools, partners, third parties or other institutions) and Recipient Users (i.e., students and/or immigration officials) when they engage in the activities described below.

Use the Daltin Service for Document Verification: Originator Users and Recipient Users may have the option to use the Daltin Website, Daltin TrustHub, or other Daltin products to quickly access and verify documents. The document verification platform helps Originator Users and Recipient Users verify the authenticity and validity of certain documents, for a variety of uses. These uses include streamlining study permit VISA applications to validating student eligibility for education programs.

Use Daltin Service for Document Validation: Originator Users and Recipient Users may also use Daltin to validate or “proof” documents. Daltin enables the validation of a document that makes it verifiable on Daltin through a unique document ID and passcode. The document validation platform helps Originator Users and Recipient Users issue verifiable documents, manage validated documents and communicate with the recipients of the documents.

Install Browser Extensions: You may have the option to install extensions to improve and customize your product experience. Extensions can be downloaded from official web stores, such as the Chrome Web Store. If you choose to install the browser extensions we offer, you authorize us to store certain information. For example, if you install the Daltin TrustHub, we will store your Daltin login credentials, including the email address or username and password that you used to create an account with us. We may collect anonymized information about your activity on the browser extensions (e.g., usage frequency and duration) through the use of cookies to improve the product and enhance your experience. Daltin data is securely stored in India. Daltin’s cloud service is separate from Daltin’s servers. All Personal Information and student data is secured by Daltin for the purpose of supporting the student’s educational and immigration journey. Personal Information is not used by Daltin or Daltin for the recruitment of students. Users of Daltin’s Document Validation Service, such as institutions/partners or other key service providers to students, maintain responsibility for document content and consent collection.

Data Retention

Daltin document(s) will be retained for as long as they are needed for the intended purpose, or as required by law or contract (which may extend beyond the termination of our relationship with you).

The entity, student or institutional partner which has uploaded the document(s) for certification or verification may request premature deletion of uploaded files. This is most likely to occur in the case where a content correction or update is required.

You have several rights in relation to your personal data which are described in more detail below. You can exercise your rights at any time by contacting us at info@daltinaiportal.com.

Accessing your data

You can ask us to:
■ Confirm whether we are processing your personal data.
■ Give you a copy of that personal data.
■ Provide you with other information about your personal data such as what data we have, what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it outside of the EEA and how we protect it, how long we keep it for, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint, where we got your data from and whether we carry out any automated decision making or profiling. We aim to give you all this information in this Policy, although if anything is unclear, please contact our Data Protection Officer at info@daltinaiportal.com. You do not have to pay a fee for a copy of your personal data unless your request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive, in which case we will charge a reasonable amount in the circumstances. We will let you know of any charges before completing your request.

Correcting your personal data

You can ask us to correct any personal data which is inaccurate or incomplete (in most cases you will be able to make these changes yourself by logging into your account). This is free of charge.
If we have shared the personal data with anyone else, we will tell them about the correction wherever possible.
If we cannot action a request to correct your personal data, we will let you know and explain why this is.

Erasing your personal data

This right is sometimes referred to as “the right to be forgotten”. This is not an absolute right but you have the right to have your data erased, free of charge, in certain circumstances.
You can ask for your personal data to be erased where:
■ it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed;
■ we are processing your personal data based on your consent, and you withdraw that consent;
■ you object to the processing of your personal data and we do not have an overriding legitimate interest for continuing;
■ it has been unlawfully processed;
■ it must be erased to comply with a legal obligation;
■ it was processed to offer information society services to a child.
There are some exceptions to this right. If one of these applies, we do not have to delete the personal data.
If we have shared your personal data with third parties, we will tell them about the erasure of your data unless this is impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.
Please note, in connection with such requests, that personal data may be either deleted or retained in an aggregated manner without being linked to any identifiers or personal data, depending on technical commercial capability.

Restricting the processing of your personal data

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in some circumstances, free of charge. This is not an absolute right. If processing is restricted we can store the personal data and retain enough information to make sure the restriction is respected unless you consent or the processing is necessary in relation to a legal claim or to protect the rights of another person or for reasons of important public interest, but we cannot further process your personal data.
You can restrict the processing of your personal data in the following cases:
■ if you contest the accuracy of your personal data, we will restrict processing until we have made sure the personal data is accurate;
■ if you object to our processing pending the verification of whether or not our legitimate interests override your interests, rights and freedoms or in connection with legal proceedings;
■ if the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase your personal data;
■ if we no longer need the personal data but you require the data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
If we have disclosed the data to a third party, we will inform them about the restriction unless it is impossible or would require a disproportionate effort. We will tell you if we decide to lift a restriction on processing your personal data.

Objecting to the processing of your personal data

You have a right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. This request will be free of charge. It is not an absolute right, but you can object to our processing of your personal data where it is:
■ based on the legitimate interest ground; or
■ for the purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics.
We will stop processing your personal data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests and rights, or unless we are processing the personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
You can require us to stop using your personal data for direct marketing purposes. We will stop as soon as we receive your request, however we may not be able to implement this for any direct marketing campaigns which are already in progress. There are no exemptions or reasons for us to refuse.

Data Portability

This allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. It applies where the following conditions are met:
■ you provided the personal data to us yourself;
■ we are processing the personal data either based on your consent or because it is necessary for the performance of a contract; and
■ the processing is carried out by automated means.
We will provide your personal data free of charge in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form.

Automated decision making and profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing and which produces a legal (or similarly significant) effect on you.
We will tell you about any automated decision making that affects you. You have the right to:
■ request human intervention;
■ express your point of view;
■ ask for the decision to be explained; and
■ challenge the decision.
These rights are not absolute. We may not be able to comply with this request if the processing of personal data is:
■ necessary for us to enter into or perform a contract with you;
■ authorised by law (e.g. for fraud prevention) and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your right, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
■ based on your explicit consent.

Dealing with requests to exercise your rights

We will respond to your request without undue delay at the latest within one (1) month of receiving your request unless it is particularly complicated or you have made several requests, in which case we may extend this by two (2) months. We will let you know if we are going to take longer than one (1) month in dealing with your request. If we have a lot of information about you we might ask you if you can tell us what exactly you want to receive. This will help us action your request more quickly.
For the purpose of complying with your requests to exercise the rights listed above, we shall perform the necessary internal processes to identify you.
