This Policy explains what Personal data we collect, how we may use and manage it and the rights you have in relation to your Personal data. Before you provide us with any Personal data or browse our Websites, you should read through this Policy in full and make sure that you are comfortable with our privacy practices.

4. Where We Store Your Personal data

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored in, a country other than your own and that such country may provide a lower level of data protection requirements than your own country. By submitting your Personal data, you agree to this potential transfer to a country other than your own.

 

Whenever we transfer Personal data across borders, we will take legally required steps to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data and to make sure that it is treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you are located in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK, you can request a copy of the safeguards which we have put in place to protect your Personal data and privacy rights in these circumstances, using the contact form available on our Website (https://www.impalaterminals.com/contact/).

 

You acknowledge and understand that the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your personal data once we have received it, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Websites; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use appropriate procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

 

5. Uses made of the information

We use Personal data held about you in the following ways:

  • To ensure that content from the Websites is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer, including carrying out analytics in relation to the use of the Websites.
  • To provide you with information that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes.
  • To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
  • To communicate with you and third party contacts.
  • To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, which may include the disclosure of certain information and/or recordings of telephone conversations to regulatory authorities.

6. Recruitment

When you apply for a job via our Websites or otherwise, we will collect additional more specific Personal data about you, e.g. your qualifications, career history, third party references and interview notes. We may also ask you for other information, e.g. your interests and the types of jobs you are interested in. Any Personal data you provide to Trafigura in relation to a job vacancy will be processed in accordance with our Recruitment Privacy Notice.

 

7. The legal basis for Impala  processing your Personal data

In accordance with the purposes for which we collect and use your Personal data, as set out above, the legal basis for Impala processing your Personal data will typically be one of the following:

  • your consent;
  • the performance of a contract that we have in place with you or other individuals;
  • Impala or our third parties’ legitimate business interests; or
  • compliance with our legal obligations.

8. Disclosure of your Information

Impala may share your Personal data with people within the organisation who have a “need to know” that data for business or legal reasons, e.g. in order to carry out an administrative function such as processing an invoice, or to direct a query that you have submitted to the relevant department within Impala.

 

Because Impala operates globally, we may disclose your Personal data to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the Companies Act 2006. These entities are required to maintain the confidentiality of your data and are restricted from using it for any purpose other than the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

 

We may disclose your Personal data to third parties including the authorities, Impala's advisors, suppliers of IT services and third parties engaged by Impala for the purpose of providing services requested by you; to protect any intellectual property rights in any materials displayed on or otherwise available from Impala's Websites; for the purposes of seeking legal or other professional advice; to respond to a legal request or comply with a legal obligation; and to enforce Impala’ s Website Terms of Use.

 

We may also disclose your Personal data to third parties:

  • In the event that we sell, merge or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your Personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
  • If Impala or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case Personal data held by it about its customers will be transferred.
  • In the event that we are required to do so to comply with our regulatory obligations, to regulatory authorities.

We may decide to allow our Website users to share comments, postings, testimonials, or other information. If you choose to submit such information to us, the information that you submit may be available generally to the public. Information that you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them.

 

Finally, we may share non-personal data with other third parties that are not described above. When we do so we may aggregate or de-identify the information so that a third party would not be likely to link data to you, your computer, or your device. Aggregation means that we combine the non-personal data of numerous people together so that the data does not relate to any one person. De-identify means that we attempt to remove or change certain pieces of information that might be used to link data to a particular person.

 

9. Records retention

Your Personal data is not kept for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is collected. This means that data and records are destroyed or erased from our systems when no longer required. The amount of time that records are kept for varies depending upon the type of Personal data they contain.

 

10. Your Rights – Marketing and Third Party Websites

You have the right to ask us not to process your Personal data for marketing purposes. Where required by law, we will inform you (before or at the time of collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by ticking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise your right to ‘opt-out’ from receiving marketing communications at any time by contacting us at enquiries@impalaterminals.com.

 

The Websites may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks and affiliates, or of other third parties. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any Personal data to these websites.

  • request a copy of the Personal data that we hold about you; or
