INOVEM Ltd and Jonas Software as Data Controller
As a data controller, we will only use your personal data in compliance with applicable law. For example, under the UK GDPR, we may be required to have a legal basis for processing your personal data. The purpose for which we use and process your information and the legal basis on which we carry out each type of processing is explained in the table below. Note that we may process your personal data for more than one legal basis.
Updating Your Information And Opting Out
If you do not wish to provide us with your personal data and processing such data is necessary for the performance of a contract with you and to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, we may not be able to perform our obligations under the contract between us. Where you provide consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time and free of charge, but without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. No withdrawal of consent will be effective until we receive it and have had a reasonable time to act on it. You can update your details or change your privacy preferences by contacting us as provided in “Contacting Us” below.
To review, correct, update, delete, object, or otherwise limit our use of your personal data that has been provided to us or request portability or details of your personal data that is held by us, please contact us using the contact information listed below in the “Contacting Us” section and clearly describe your request.

INOVEM Ltd and Jonas Software As Data Processor
In certain cases, we also operate as a data processor, collecting, processing, and transferring personal data on behalf of our business customers to provide our services and products. In these circumstances, we are acting as a data processor, but our business customers remain the data controllers with respect to the personal data they provide to us.
Our business customers remain the data controllers for any personal data they provide us for our services. To the extent that we are acting as data processors, we act in accordance with the instructions of such customers regarding the collection, processing, storage, deletion, and transfer of customer data, as well as other matters such as the provision of access to and rectification of personal data. We will only use such personal data to provide the services and products for which our business customers have engaged us.
Our business customers are responsible for ensuring that these individuals’ privacy is respected, including communicating to the individuals in their privacy policies who their personal data is being shared with and processed by. Where we are acting as a data processor, we will refer any request from an individual for access to personal data we hold about them to our customer. We will not usually respond directly to the request.
As data processors, we may share personal data when instructed by our business customers. Where authorised by the business customer, we may also share personal data with third-party service providers who work for us and are subject to security and confidentiality obligations.
We will retain personal data that we process on behalf of our customers for as long as appropriate to provide services and products to them, in accordance with any agreement with them or as permitted by applicable law.
Disclosure Of Your Personal Data To Third Parties
We may share your personal data with our group companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, or contractors as appropriate to carry out the purposes for which the information was supplied or collected (i.e. to provide the services and products you requested) or as otherwise provided in this policy. Personal data will also be shared with our third-party service providers and business partners who assist with running the Site and our services and products (including hosting providers, email service providers and payment processing partners). Our third-party service providers and business partners are subject to security and confidentiality obligations. They are only permitted to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
In addition, we may disclose personal data about you when we believe that such use or disclosure is reasonably appropriate to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation; enforce the terms of our agreements; establish, exercise or defend the rights of INOVEM Ltd, Jonas Software, our staff, customers or others; protect our rights, property, safety or vital interests, or the rights, property, safety or vital interests of our users or other third parties; and implement the purchase of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger, or other similar transaction that results in a change of control.
Changes to GDPR post Brexit
In addition to the existing legislation, the UK government has issued a statutory instrument titled ‘The Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019’. In simple terms, this amends the original law and merges it with the requirements of GDPR. The outcome will be a new data protection framework known as the ‘UK GDPR’.
Having left the EU as a non-member state, it will be reclassified as a ‘third country’.
The ICO will remain the independent supervisory body of UK data protection legislation.
The UK government will continue to work towards maintaining close working relationships between the ICO and other countries’ supervisory authorities.
International Transfers
If you are based in the EU or EEA
We may share your personal data within the Jonas group of companies. This involves transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to Jonas’ affiliates and third-party service providers in Canada, United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Malaysia. Canada and New Zealand have been deemed by the EU as having an adequate level of protection for personal data.
Whenever we transfer your personal data outside the EEA to the countries identified above, which have not been deemed by the EU to have an adequate level of protection for personal data, and specifically to the United States, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by using standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission (as permitted under Article 46(2)(c)) that are designed to help safeguard your privacy rights or by certifying under the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield.
Security Of Your Personal Data
The security of your personal data is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal data we receive. We use commercially reasonable measures to safeguard personal data, which are appropriate to the type of information maintained and follow applicable laws regarding safeguarding any such information under our control. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal data. The Internet is a public forum, and we encourage you to use caution when disclosing information online. Often, you are in the best situation to protect yourself online. You are responsible for protecting your username and password from third-party access and for selecting secure passwords.
Data Retention: How Long We Keep Your Personal Data
We will retain personal data, which we process on behalf of our customers for as long as it is appropriate to provide services and products to our customers following any agreement with them and for other legitimate purposes. When you contact us, we may keep a record of personal data in your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. Your personal data may be retained for as long as appropriate to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirement and other legitimate purposes. We will consider all relevant factors to determine how long we will retain personal data.
Your Rights
You may request from us access to, correction of, blocking of or deletion of your personal data in line with applicable law. You may also withdraw your consent for us to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing before you withdraw your consent. Where your personal data is processed by us with your consent or for the performance of a contract by automated means, we will, to the extent required by applicable law, provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format upon request.
Responding To Requests
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights) under applicable law. This security measure protects personal data from being disclosed to anyone with no right to receive it. We may also contact you for further information about your request to speed up our response. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights) under applicable law. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. Also, please note that we may refuse a request for blocking or deletion where continued processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or required for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims or for other purposes permitted by applicable law.
