Information that we collect automatically

When you visit our Website, we may collect certain personal information automatically from your device.

Specifically, the information we collect automatically may include information like your IP address, device type, unique device identification number, browser-type, broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location) and other technical information.  We may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our Website, including the pages accessed and links clicked. 

Collecting this information enables us to better understand the visitors who come to our Website, where they come from, and what content on our Website is of interest to them.  We use this information for our internal analytics purposes and to improve the quality and relevance of our Website to our visitors.

Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technology, as explained further in our cookie notice below.

 Cookie Notice

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies to provide us with information on how the website is being used.

You can control cookies through the settings or preferences of your browser, as well as through dedicated browser extensions or add-ons.

However, some cooking are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.    You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

What personal information does UTC collect when you engage our Services and why?

When you engage us to provide you with our Services, we collect and use personal information which is necessary for the performance of those Services. 

The majority of the personal information we collect and use to provide our Services is supplied voluntarily by (or collected by us from third party sources at the request of) our clients.  Because of this, if you are a client of UTC then it will generally be obvious to you what personal information we collect and use.  This information may include:    

  • Basic information such as your name, the company you work for, your position and your relationship to a person;
  • Contact information such as your postal address, email address and telephone number(s);
  • Financial information, such as payment related information;
  • Identification and background information provided by you or collected as part of our business acceptance process;
  • Special categories of personal information, such as information about a person’s physical or mental health, alleged criminal activities, or similar where this is necessary in connection with the Services we provide; and
  • Any other personal information relating to you or other third parties which you may provide to us for the purpose of receiving our Services.

We use this information to facilitate the provision of our Services to you, the client.  In addition, we will process identification and background information as part of our business acceptance, finance, administration and marketing processes, including anti-money laundering, conflict, reputational and financial checks, and to fulfil any other legal or regulatory requirements to which we may be subject. The information our clients provide may be disclosed to third parties to the extent that is reasonably necessary in connection with that work (for example, when seeking advice from external counsel or experts). As part of our processing of information for marketing purposes we may collect information from responses provided to marketing campaigns via email. This information would be used for internal analytics purposes and to improve the quality, relevance and compliance of our marketing.

What information does UTC collect when you engage in recruitment services?

UTC collects information from and about candidates in connection with available employment opportunities at UTC.  This information may include CVs, identification documents, academic records, work history, employment and references.

When and with whom might UTC share your personal information?

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

  • To our partnerships operating under the UTC brand, as well as third party services providers and partners who provide data processing services to us (for example, for Website visitors who subscribe to our blogs, our blog e-mail delivery provider; our website spam security service; or, if you are a candidate, from recruitment agencies we have engaged);
  • To any competent law enforcement body, regulator, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary: (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person;
  • To a potential buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business, provided that we inform the buyer it must use your personal information only for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Policy; and
  • To a person you have given us your consent to disclose to.

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. 

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you (for example, when providing our Services), or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to process personal information about you, or may need to process personal information in order to exercise, establish or defend legal claims.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as the possible consequences, if any,  if you do not provide your personal information).

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information (including any legitimate interests relied upon), please send an email to data.protection@orientalnumismatics.com .

How does UTC keep my personal information secure?

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you.  The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. 

International data transfers

UTC brand and third party service providers operate in the United Arab Emirates and around the world.  This means that when we collect your personal information it may be processed in countries that may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country. 

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that the personal information we process will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy when transferred internationally, including when processed internationally by our third party service providers and partners. The safeguards we have taken include implementing the UAE Federal Law  No.45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (“Data Protection Law”) for transfers of personal information to our UAE clients and internationally. 

We have also implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third party service providers and partners. The transfer of personal data to third party service providers takes place on the basis of data protection adequacy decisions via the implementation of the Data Protection Law. 

If you have questions about, or need further information concerning, international data transfers, please send an email to data.protection@orientalnumismatics.com.

Data retention

We will retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). 

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

If you have questions about, or need further information concerning, our data retention periods, please send an email to data.protection@orientalnumismatics.com.

Your data protection rights

You have the following data protection rights:

  • If you wish to access, correct, update or request deletion of your personal information, you can do so at any time by sending an email to data.protection@orientalnumismatics.com;
  • You can object to the processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing of your personal information or request portability of your personal information. You can exercise these rights by contacting us by email at data.protection@orientalnumismatics.com;
  • You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing e-mails we send you.  To opt-out of other forms of marketing (such as postal marketing or telemarketing), then please email data.protection@orientalnumismatics.com;  
  • Similarly, if we have collected and process your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent; and
  • You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information.

We respond to all requests received from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in response to legal, technical or business developments. When we update our Privacy Policy, we will take appropriate measures to inform you, which will be consistent with the significance of the changes we make.  We will obtain your consent to any material Privacy Policy changes if and where this is required by applicable data protection laws.
