Like any networking organisation, Palm INNOV keeps data on those we interact with. For example: We post the personal biodata on our members (Innovators and Experts), mailing list subscribers, donors, event attendees, NGOs, planters, tech firms, research institutes and other individuals who operate in the Oil Palm and Palm Oil ecosystem.
We only store private data given to us by the individual or shared with us with their consent. We might also supplement that data with information from the public domain. For example: We store contact details entered onto a membership form.
We do not buy or acquire additional data from third parties. Nor do we share or sell personal data with third parties.
We store your data on third party database and mailing list services. Like most small businesses and small networks, we use a specialist service to store and secure your data. This is far more secure than storing your data on our own servers. All such services are legally bound to respect the privacy of that data and have the technical expertise to secure it. Our mailing list is hosted by MailChimp.
Your information ‘processing’ is limited to communications that publicise our activities. We do not profile, screen or cross reference the data we hold against other databases. We do not track individual users’ behaviour on our website or elsewhere. We do not use AI or algorithms to make decisions that affect you.
We do track user behaviour on our website. We use Google Analytics for this purpose and all data we get is anonymised.
You have a right to ask to see what information we hold for you. You have the right to ask for that data to be edited or deleted. You have the right to ask us to delete the data we hold on you. In some cases, we are legally required to retain some data permanently or for a period – for example, donation information.
