• We processed your personal data unlawfully.

• We must erase personal data in order to comply with a legal ruling or obligation.

• We have processed a child’s personal data.

In such instances we will erase your personal information without undue delay. Please note that we will need to retain any information that is necessary to fulfil our legal obligation and/or ICANN requirements, or to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim. This may include much of your User Account information, much of which also may be retained by our data escrow provider required by ICANN, and/or the Registry Operator.

• The data is being used to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information.

• The data is being used to comply with a legal ruling or obligation.

Right to Restrict or Stop Processing. In certain circumstances (including where we use legitimate interests as set out in this Privacy Policy) you have the right to object to our processing your information or ask us to limit the ways in which we process your information. However, we can refuse a request in some cases. If we do this, we will provide you the information explaining why we have refused your request.

If you ask us to stop processing your information, this may mean we won't be able to provide all or parts of the services you have requested and if this results in the need to cancel your reservation, you may incur cancellation charges in line with our terms and conditions. While processing is restricted, we may continue to store your data and we will notify you before we begin processing their data again.

Right to Request Portability. You can ask us to move, transfer or copy your personal information, in a commonly readable format, so that you can use this information in a different service.

Right to Object. You have the right to lodge a complaint to a data protection authority about our collection.

Sav collects personal information about you. How we collect information about you will depend on how you interact with us and what services you arrange with us. Information will be collected when you use the Site or Services, participate in a survey, ask us a question, interact with our social media accounts, etc.

The type of information we collect about you depends on the nature of your interaction with us. Depending on the circumstances, we collect any of the following:

Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This is information that is commonly made available by web browsers and servers, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Sav uses this information to understand how visitors use our Site, diagnose any problems with our server and administer the operation of our Site.

The range of information we collect will depend on how you interact with our Site. This information may include: IP address, your computer device details; the make and version of the web browser you are using; your operating system; your time-zone; your browser plug-ins; any web-page you came from, identified as the referrer web page address by your web browser; cookies; page response times; download error; pages and parts of pages you visit; usage you make of our Site, including inquiries and searches undertaken, and registrations for accounts, forums etc.; services and products you viewed; length of visit to Site and pages; and page interaction information. This will normally be collected and used anonymously, and aggregated for analysis, with your name and any characteristics identifying you remaining anonymous, but our privacy policy will apply, and it will be treated as your personal information, if this information is in any way linked to you personally. This information may also include: information inputted into forms and field; registrations for any accounts, forum, feedback mechanism, social functionality, newsletters or other features of our site; usernames and passwords, log-in/ out history, and settings; actions taken within your User Account or other registration, including view and update and changes to settings; and posts to any forum, feedback, review or other social functionality on our Site.

Third-party Analytics. We allow third parties to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide analytics services. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of the services and other Sites, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by Sav and third parties to analyze and track data, deliver advertising and to better understand your use of our products and services.

Domain Name Registration Information. We are required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), to collect information about you during the domain name registration process. To register a domain name, you are required to provide the name you are registering; your name and postal address (or those of the person for whom you are registering the name); technical information about the computer with which the domain name will be associated; and the name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and (where available) fax telephone numbers for the technical, administrative, billing, and zone contacts for the domain name. Once the domain name has been registered, your registration agreement requires you to correct and update this data promptly.

Why you must provide the information. The information you provide when registering a domain name (or correcting or updating registration information) is required to allow the Internet to associate the domain name with your delegated nameservers, to allow us to properly handle your account (including notifying you at renewal time), and to permit others operating or using the Internet to contact you to resolve issues that arise in connection with the domain name. It will also be stored at the top-level domain name registry of the domain name (for example, Verisign stores and processes all domain name information for the .COM, .NET and other top-level domains). It will also be stored under a data escrow program to keep the domain name operating in the event we or the top-level domain registry leave the domain name registration business, and ICANN designates a successor.

Personally Identifiable Information. Personally identifiable information generally means any information that identifies you as an individual, and any other information we associate with it. We collect a few categories of information, from a few different sources:

Data concerning you as an individual. This includes name, age, address, telephone, mobile, fax, e-mail, IP address, credit card and other payment details, financial information, and other information provided to us by or in relation to you which concern you as an individual.

WHOIS. We are required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), to collect information about you during the domain name registration process. This information includes your full name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and, where provided, your facsimile number.

We will make available the domain name registration information you provide or that we otherwise maintain to the following parties: ICANN, any ICANN-authorized escrow service, the registry administrator(s), and to other third parties as ICANN and/or applicable laws may require or permit (including through web-based and other on-line WHOIS lookup systems), whether during or after the term of your domain name registration services. You irrevocably waive any and all claims and causes of action you may have, if any, arising from such disclosure or use of such information. We may make publicly available, or directly available to third parties, some, or all, of the information You provide, for purposes of inspection (such as through our WHOIS service) or for targeted marketing and other purposes as required or permitted by applicable laws, including by way of bulk WHOIS data access provided to third parties who enter into a bulk WHOIS data access agreement with Us.
