Privacy Policy

Myca Systems Pte Ltd, its representative subsidiaries, affiliates, associated companies and jointly controlled entities (collectively “Myca,” “we,” “us,” “our”) understand the importance of privacy to you. This Policy summarises what Personal Information we may collect, how we may use this information, and other important topics relating to your privacy and data protection.

It is Myca’s policy to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws. This commitment reflects the value we place on earning and keeping the trust of our Customers, business partners and others who share their Personal Information with us.

Application of our Privacy Statement

This Privacy Statement applies to Myca’s collection of personal data, and it is not intended to apply to the collection or use of personal data by Myca’s Customers’ use of our Services. This Privacy Statement also does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services reachable from our websites or mobile applications.

Myca collects information under the direction of its Customers in connection with its provision of the Services. Because a Customer’s collection or use of personal data is specific to their use and implementation of the Services, please consult the relevant Customer’s privacy statement, privacy notice, or the relevant written contract for the Services for more information. We do not have a direct relationship with our Customers’ customers or end-users.

If you are a customer of one of Myca’s Customers and would like more information on their use of your data, please contact the Customer that you interact with directly. If you have further questions about the application of Myca’s Privacy Statement, please contact our Privacy Program at compliance@myca.ag

In addition, Myca provides supply chain solutions to businesses and entities in a commercial context and our Services are not intended for consumers.

This Policy applies to all websites, messaging services, digital tools, software development kits (“SDKs”), application programming interfaces (“APIs”) and mobile applications (“Apps”) operated by or on behalf of Myca, including third-party service providers that myca utilises to run our business. It also applies to Personal Information Myca may otherwise collect: (i) through the aforementioned channels, our products and services; (ii) when you interact with us by means other than an Myca website, the aforementioned channels, or app, for example, in person, by telephone, or at a trade show or training; and (iii) from our distributors, suppliers, vendors, digital platform providers, and other business partners (collectively “Business Partners”).

However, different Myca websites, Apps, products, and services have different purposes and features. If additional or different disclosures are required for a specific Myca website, app, product, or service, then we provide those disclosures (“Specific Privacy Statements”) separately on, or with, the relevant website, app, product, or service. Each such specific privacy disclosure, policy, or statement supplements and amends this Policy.

General Principles of Myca’s Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

In this Privacy Statement, “Personal Data” or “Personal Information” shall mean any information about an individual who can be identified from that information or from that information combined with other information to which we are likely to have access, including without limitation, information such as name, date of birth, address, telephone number, email address, identification numbers, location data, image, biometric data, and online identifiers. As a Software as a Service business that provides services to other businesses (“Customers”), access to Personal Data or Personal Information may be collected directly through Myca’s services, or may be provided to Myca from a Customer while delivering our services. For Personal Data and Information sent to Myca from our Customers, please contact the Customer that you interact with directly.

Additionally, “process” or “processing” means any operation which is performed upon Personal Information, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, acquisition, holding, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

To the extent required by applicable law, whenever Myca collects Personal Information, Myca will:

provide notice to you or to the Customer you have provided the information to, about our data practices;
collect or receive your Personal Information only for specified and legitimate purposes. The information we collect will be relevant, adequate and not excessive for the purposes for which it is collected;
process your Personal Information in a manner consistent with the purposes for which it was collected or to which you consented;
take reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Information is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and, where necessary, kept up-to-date; and
take appropriate measures, by contract or otherwise, to provide adequate protection for Personal Information that is disclosed to us by a Customer, or that we provide to a third party, or transferred to another country, including transfers within Myca.

You have choices about the Personal Information you directly provide to Myca. You may choose not to provide information that we request, but if you do so, we may not be able to provide you with a relevant service or a particular feature for a Myca website, app, or product. For Personal Information Customers provide to myca, please refer to their Privacy and Data Protection Policies.

Manage office visitors. If you visit an Myca office, we may collect Personal Information about you, including, but not limited to, your title, name, address, phone number, email address, business or company affiliation, government identification (driver’s license, passport), and other details you provide. We process this information for a variety of purposes, including to generally manage your visit, to verify your identity, to provide access to our facilities and systems, for security and other safety purposes, to communicate with you regarding your visit, to provide information we believe may be of interest to you, including regarding our services, for purposes disclosed at the time a visitor provides Personal Information or otherwise with consent.

Process with your consent. We also use your Personal Information for other uses consistent with the context in which the information was collected or with your consent. Where you provide us with the Personal Data of any other individual, including any employee that is involved in farming operations or a family member, you confirm that you have notified the individual of the purposes to which you are providing Myca with that third party's Personal Data and you have obtained the person's consent or that you are legally authorised to consent on their behalf to providing Myca with that person's Personal Data.

In certain jurisdictions, consent is the primary ground on which Personal Data may be processed by an organisation. In those jurisdictions, processing Personal Data in connection with the performance of a contract or legitimate purposes is not recognised as an accepted ground on which Personal Data may be processed. Accordingly, if you are a resident in such a jurisdiction, you agree that consent will be the ground on which Myca will process your Personal Data instead of performance of a contract or legitimate purposes.

Note that we can anonymise or aggregate any of the information we collect and use it for any purpose, including for research and product-development purposes. Such information will not identify you individually.

We will not disclose your Personal Information except under a lawful and measured basis as follows:

Legal obligations. We will also share your Personal Information with third parties when we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary: (i) to comply with a law, regulation, court order, or other legal process; (ii) to detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, intellectual property infringement, violation of our contracts or agreements, violation of law, or other misuse of Myca websites, Apps, products or services; (iii) to protect Myca’s rights or property or yours or others’ health, safety, welfare, rights, or property; or (iv) under similar circumstances.

You should exercise caution and review the privacy statements applicable to the third party websites and services you use. The use of online tracking mechanisms by those third party websites and services is subject to those third parties' own privacy policies, and not this Privacy Statement.
