We will endeavour not to keep your personal information in a form that allows you to be identified for any longer than is reasonably necessary for achieving the permitted purposes. This means that information will be destroyed or erased from our systems or anonymized when it has reached the applicable retention period.
We retain each category of personal information, for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was collected. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:
We ask that you keep your information as up-to-date as possible so you may get the maximum benefit from us.
If you have an online account with us then you may be able to log on to access and correct personal information that we keep in that account. For other questions related to updating or changing your account information or if any errors in your personal information cannot be corrected by accessing your online account, please send a request to our customer service team at enquire.cs@snapon.com.
If you would like to request to access, correct, update, suppress, restrict, or delete personal information, object to or opt out of the processing of personal information, or if you would like to request to receive a copy of your personal information for purposes of transmitting it to another company (to the extent these rights are provided to you by applicable law), you may contact us at AsiaDataProtection@snapon.com. We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law.
We will verify and respond to your request consistent with applicable law, taking into account the type and sensitivity of the personal information subject to the request. In some instances, we may decline to honour your request where the law or right you are invoking does not apply or where an exception applies. We may need to request, subject to applicable laws, your company name, account number, name, your address, email address, telephone number, financial details on file, delivery address, and/or purchase, warranty, repair or calibration history, device serial number, in order to verify your identity and protect against fraudulent requests. If you make a request to delete, we may ask you to confirm your request before we delete your personal information.
If an agent would like to make a request on your behalf as permitted under applicable law, the agent may use the submission methods noted in the section entitled “What are my choices and rights in relation to my personal information?” Not all kinds of requests can be made by authorized agents in all states. As part of our verification process, we may request that the agent provide, as applicable, proof concerning his or her status as an authorized agent. In addition, we may require that you verify your identity as described in the section entitled “How will we process your requests?” or confirm that you provided the agent permission to submit the request.
Where we maintain or use de-identified information, we will continue to maintain and use the de-identified information only in a de-identified fashion and will not attempt to re-identify the information.
We collect personal information from a variety of sources, including:
We are a global company and your personal information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by engaging with us you understand that your information will be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your personal information.
We endeavour to protect the security of your personal information. We will seek to maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of your personal information.
