We may review, update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to adapt to the latest laws and technology, changes to our operations and practices and the changing business environment. All personal information held by us will be governed by our most recent Privacy Policy. The most recent Privacy Policy will always be available on our Website. In addition, where we conduct competitions on the Website or through social media the terms and conditions of the competition may include additional privacy provisions that shall also apply.

What information do we collect?

We refer throughout this Privacy Policy to "personal information" and "sensitive information". Personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information or opinion is true or not, and whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not. Examples of personal information that we may collect include BRANDFARM ASIA PLT Members' names and addresses. Some personal information which BRANFARM ASIA PLT collects may also be "sensitive information". Sensitive information that we may collect includes information relating to a person's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, trade union or other professional or trade association membership, sexual preferences and criminal record, but only where those types of sensitive information are also personal information. We may also collect sensitive information that includes health information and genetic information about an individual.

We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for one or more of the functions or activities of our business (including, but not limited to our Loyalty Program). The nature of the personal information we collect will be dependent upon your chosen level of interaction with BRANDFARM ASIA PLT, and, if you become a BRANDFARM ASIA PLT Member, the degree to which you utilise BRANDFARM ASIA PLT membership and the benefits, products and services available to you under your membership.

If you become a BRANDFARM ASIA PLT Member, the following information may be collected:

· your name, address, email address, year of birth, gender and contact information including, but not limited to your mobile phone number;

· primary grocery shopping location; and

· other personal information you may disclose to us when you request information from us, or that is contained in communications between us and you, including, but not limited to sensitive information.

How we collect and hold personal information

BRANDFARM ASIA PLT collects most personal information directly from you when you disclose it to us. We usually collect this type of personal information in the following ways:

· when you register on our Website to become a BRANDFARM ASIA PLT Member;

We hold personal information in electronic and hard copy files. Electronically held personal information is stored on storage media at our business premises and at the premises of our third party storage providers.

If we receive personal information which we did not request, within a reasonable period after receiving the information, we will determine whether or not we could have collected the information under the Malaysian Privacy Principles if we had requested that information. If we determine that we could not have collected the personal information and the information is not contained in a Commonwealth record, as soon as practicable but only if it is lawful and reasonable to do so, we will destroy the information or ensure that the information is de-identified.
