DICAM TECHNOLOGY LIMITED PRIVACY NOTICE
Dicam Technology Limited takes your privacy very seriously.
This Privacy Notice sets out how we use and look after the personal information we collect from you.

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time, and will inform you to any changes in how we handle your personal data.
1- Information we may collect from you
Personal data means any information about an individual from which that individual can be identified.
We may collect, use, store and transfer some personal data of our customers. The data we collect from customers may include:

Where we need to collect personal data, particularly mobile phone numbers and email address and a customer fails to provide that data, we may not be able to provide SMS text or email alerts as part of the service.
2 – How is your personal data collected?
A customer may give us their personal data by sending email or other correspondence directly to us. We share customers with our partners Farm Energy and Control Systems Ltd and personal data of customers is shared in both directions for the relevant shared customers.

We will use personal information only for the purposes for which we have been provided with such information.
