This Privacy Policy sets out how YAS DIGITAL LIMITED ("YAS", "we", "us," or "our") collect, use and manage your personal data (collectively referred to as “Data”) and how it is shared with insurers ("Insurers") offering insurance on YAS’s mobile applications ("Apps") and websites ("Sites").

Purposes for which we collect, hold, use and disclose it
How you can access your personal data, seek correction of it

Steps we take to protect your information:

Your personal data is stored on computer systems which are protected by a combination of firewalls, secure logon processes, encryption and intrusion monitoring technologies.
We use a recognised payment service provider to process any insurance payments you make using the Apps or the Sites. This service provider is committed to protecting your personal data on our behalf.
In certain circumstances we will collect and use your IP address to protect the security of our website.
We regularly test our websites and infrastructure for vulnerabilities and take action where needed.

Steps you can take to protect your information.

It's still very important that you take some steps to help keep up security when you're online:

Protect your personal data, such as usernames and passwords by not allowing anyone to see you entering them, and avoid public Wi-Fi usage.
Notify us as soon as possible if you become aware of any breaches or hacks into your account.
Use a strong password for your account. Try to think of something that is easy to remember, but hard to guess, such as a passphrase.

Personal details including gender, hometown, date of birth and purchase history
Payment, credit card information

Therefore you can use the Apps or the Sites to purchase insurance products from Insurers, access information about the insurance products purchased and make any claims on any insurance products ("Services").

How we collect and use personal data?

Personal data is only collected with your consent on YAS’s Apps and Sites. When we collect Data from you, we provide you with a Personal Information Collection Statement (PICS) during or before collection in the same electronic form that collects the personal data. The Apps will ask you for permission before we have access to your location.

Why and how do we use your personal data?

We will also use your personal data to administer, manage and contact you about your account and our Services; to maintain a profile in relation to you, including but not limited to information regarding any purchases or claims made via the Apps or the Sites; and to provide you with a more personalised experience in relation to our Apps, Sites and Services.

When you use the Apps, we will use your personal data to provide the requested product or service. For example, if you make a purchase on the Apps, we will use the contact information you give us to communicate with you about the purchase. If you contact our customer service, we will use information about you, such as payment information, or the product you have purchased to help you resolve a problem or question.

Another example, if you are using RYDE with YAS on YAS MicroInsurance app to insure your rides, we will collect Data such as geographical location, speed, direction, and time and date of recording. This Data is used to track and insure your ride according to your trip start and end location. In the event of a claim, this Data will be used upon your consent to process your claim submission. Your name, mobile number, and HKID are used solely for identity verification for your insurance policy. Your payment information will be used to send claim benefits to you in the event of a successful claim.

Other purposes of collection including but not limited to performing market research and statistical analysis to improve the Services provided; and responding to your queries and feedback regarding the Apps and the Sites. If you choose to post any comments or reviews regarding any Insurer or insurance products or services via our Apps or our Sites, you understand and agree that such comments or reviews shall be made publicly available, but we will not post your name or any contact details. Please refer to the Personal Information Collection Statement for further information.

We will transfer your personal data to Insurers (who may be located inside or outside the jurisdiction in which you are located), so that the Insurers can:

(a) Process your insurance application;

(b) Arrange a contract of insurance with you and administer the policy issued;

(d) Design products and/or services for customers;

(e) Promote, improve and further the provision of the Insurers' products and/or services; and

(f) Comply with any legal or regulatory requirements applicable to the Insurers.

In order to enable them to carry out the above purposes, the Insurers may transfer your personal data to their parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers, or any reinsurers, intermediaries (including brokers, and insurance agents), claims investigators, loss adjustors and other professional advisors, insurance industry association or federation and their respective members, or any other person necessary to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements, or orders issued by any competent authorities (each of whom may be located inside or outside the jurisdiction in which you are located).

For the purposes set out above, we may also transfer your personal data to our own parent companies, subsidiaries and/or affiliates ("Group"), to any service provider appointed by us or any member of our Group, or any legal or regulatory authority or court of competent jurisdiction (in each case whether located inside or outside the jurisdiction in which you are located).

We will ask for your consent on the use, transfer, disclosure, processing and retention of your personal data pursuant to a Personal Information Collection Statement, which will be provided to you at the time we collect your relevant personal data. We will only transfer your personal data to the Insurer(s) providing insurance products to you.

If you do not provide such mandatory personal data then we may not be able to provide the Services to you and/or the Insurers may not be able to provide any insurance products or services or to process any claims. All other personal data that is not indicated as being mandatory can be provided by you voluntarily.
