When you apply for a Service, enroll in the Service, or pay for Services through our customer portal, we use sophisticated software to ensure the privacy of your information.

This also applies when you pay for the Services. In addition, we protect the personally identifiable information that we have in our control with sufficient administrative, technical, and physical precautions. We have put in place a series of security processes to ensure that we are doing everything in our power to preserve the safety and integrity of our systems from any potential dangers or threats that may arise in the future. Even while we take reasonable precautions to preserve information security and demand the same from our vendors, we are unable to guarantee the safety of any personally identifiable information that you provide to us.

We also encourage our customers to do their part in protecting their personal and sensitive information, which includes taking responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of their account login information and any other passwords they may use.

We take all necessary technical and organizational measures so that your personal data is protected from loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure by ensuring a level of security commensurate with the risks of processing and the nature of the personal data being protected, while also taking into consideration their sensitivity.

If you provide us with any personal information, it may be transferred to and kept on our servers, third-party servers, data centers, or the cloud. This information may be located both within the Territory and outside of the Territory.

In spite of Asaan’s best efforts to protect the privacy of your personal information; however, the company is unable to guarantee the complete safety of the data you send to the Asaan app because the transmission takes place over the internet, which exposes the data to the possibility that it will be intercepted.

Asaan takes every precaution to ensure that the confidentiality of your data and communications is maintained. However, you should be aware that there is a possibility that your communications could be observed by someone other than the intended receiver for reasons that are beyond Asaan’s control.

Therefore, Asaan is not liable for the transmission and/or reception of content of any sort that violates intellectual property rights, as well as for any unauthorized access to or loss of information and data that is uncontrollable.

Asaan retains your personal data as long as necessary to comply with its legal and commercial responsibilities.

Use of Cookies

Asaan, like many other websites, uses cookies to collect information about users’ browsing habits. When a user or customer uses a computer, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device (such as a “Terminal”), a cookie may be stored on that device.

Cookies are a very useful tool because they allow a website to recognize a User or a Customer, marking their passage from one page to another and bringing additional benefits such as increased ease of browsing, a secured connection, and adaptation of web page content according to the preferences and Terminal of the user.

Rather, the browser or program you’re using on your Terminal, not the user, is identified by a cookie. However, the cookie file has a unique identifier that can be used to track the activity of a specific user. Also known as “invisible pixels,” web beacons or “invisible pixels” are small digital images that are embedded on web sites or in emails and used in conjunction with cookies for tracking and analyzing the same user’s navigation.

Cookies save information such as pages viewed, advertising clicked on by the User, the type of browser used, their IP address, and the information they have entered on the Site for a limited time.
