If Odysseus needs to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, Odysseus will notify you and explain the legal basis which allows Odysseus to do so.


Sharing of Information

Odysseus may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:

  •  to its professional advisers, third party services providers and partners who provide data processing services to Odysseus (for example, to support the delivery of, provide functionality on, or help to enhance the security of Odysseus websites), or who otherwise process personal information for purposes that are described in Privacy Notices or notified to you when Odysseus collects your personal information. 
  •  to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party where Odysseus believes disclosure is necessary (a) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (b) to exercise, establish or defend its legal rights, or (c) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person.
  •  to any other person with your consent to the disclosure.


Legal Basis of Processing

If your personal information is protected by EU data protection law, Odysseus's legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which Odysseus collects it.

However, Odysseus will normally collect personal information from you only (a) where it needs the personal information to perform a contract with you, (b) where the processing is in its legitimate interests and is not overridden by your rights, or (c) where it has your consent to do so. In some cases, Odysseus may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which Odysseus collects and uses your personal information, please contact Odysseus using the contact details provided under the "Contact Details" heading below and in the right-hand side column.


Use of Information

Any information collected by Odysseus will be done in accordance with this Privacy Policy for the purposes of making better business decisions, supporting the activities you choose to engage in, and providing higher quality solutions and services to Odysseus's customers. Odysseus uses your location information to tailor your experience with Odysseus websites. It may also use any non-personal information collected to enhance Odysseus websites, and your IP address for website diagnostics and administration. Odysseus will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes it was collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, Odysseus considers the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which Odysseus processes your personal information and whether it can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.


International Transfers

Odysseus processes information on servers in many countries around the world and you consent to your personal information being processed on a server located outside the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective). However, Odysseus has taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy, including, utilizing the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between its subsidiaries, which requires all subsidiaries to protect personal information being processed from the European Economic Area to an equivalent standard to that required under European Union data protection law.


Information Security

Odysseus protects your personal information in the same way that it protects its other confidential information, such as storing it on secure servers that only select Odysseus personnel have access to, and by encrypting it to help prevent access by any unauthorized parties. Odysseus has put in place procedures to deal with any personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach when legally required to do so.
