Our justification for handling your personal date

Data protection and privacy laws in certain countries require us to have what's called a "legal basis" or "lawful ground" for handling personal data. Largely, that means that we have to have a legal justification for handling your personal data.

To process your data, we will mainly use the following legal bases:

1. Contract – e.g. we have to process your delivery and payment details to provide you with the product that you have purchased

2. Consent – e.g. we will send you marketing communications where you have provided consent

3. Legitimate interests – e.g., we will process order information to detect fraudulent activities and protect D-Fly Group Ltd and our customers

In some circumstances, we will need to handle your personal data in a certain way to be able to comply with our legal obligations; for example, if we receive a request for your personal data from a regulatory body or law enforcement authority.

We handle your personal data in this way so that we can directly or indirectly, improve the Service and your overall experience of D-Fly Group Ltd as a business. Whatever our justification for handling your personal data, we will strive to uphold our commitment to protect your privacy.

Sharing with third parties

We share your personal data with certain third- party service providers that we hire to provide services to us. We will only grant these service providers access to the personal data they need to perform those services. For example, order and delivery details will be shared with third-party logistics partners with whom we contract with to help us fulfil purchase orders. These third-party service providers will be required to keep your personal data confidential, and not use it other than instructed by us.

The third parties providing services fall into the following categories:

1. Business Service Providers: Those helping us to deliver the Service, including online and offline components of the Service, to you;

2. Marketing Service Providers: Those helping us to provide you with relevant and interesting communications - e.g., social media platforms, analytics companies, marketing and advertising agencies;

4. We also share certain personal data with third parties who help us to detect and prevent criminal activity, such as fraudulent transactions. The information we share with those third parties includes some of the information that you share with us;, for example, your contact details and information about your transaction, and some of the information from your online interactions (such as the IP address of your device). That information is used to determine whether a transaction could be fraudulent.

We will also share your personal data if we believe it is necessary or appropriate under applicable law, including in response to a legal process, (e.g., a court order or subpoena), to respond to requests from public and government authorities; to comply with national, state, provincial or local laws; to enforce our terms and conditions, to protect our business or the business operations of an affiliated party, to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of others; and to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit damages that we may sustain.

Finally, in the process of purchasing a D-Fly Group Ltd product you may interact with a third party who will be independently responsible for the personal data that you provide. For example, if you purchase a D-Fly product under finance, your finance agreement will be directly with that third party, and you should read their privacy notice(s) separately. If you access or interact with that third party’s product, service, platform or feature, any information you disclose through that third party is not subject to this Policy.
