Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

If our physical, technical, or management protection facilities are damaged and we cannot prove that we are not at fault, resulting in unauthorised access, public disclosure, tampering, or destruction of your personal data, thus causing damage to your legitimate rights and interests, we will be held legally responsible. However, considering the characteristics of information technology and cyberspace itself, under certain special circumstances (such as hacker attacks, telecommunications failures and so on), there is still a risk of personal information leakage despite the necessary measures we have taken as stipulated by laws and regulations. Although we are continuously working to enhance and strengthen our security measures to protect your data and personal information from accidents or damage, we cannot always guarantee that your personal information is 100% safe, so please make sure you take offline backup measures.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

We strongly recommend that you do not send your personal information via unencrypted email, instant messages, or other unsecure forms of communication. Please use complex passwords to keep your account secure. Except as otherwise provided in this policy, to protect your personal and property security, we specifically remind you not to provide sensitive information, such as your account password, authentication code, communication content, property information, or physiological information to us or any third-party providing services to you on our behalf, through public networks.

Cookies

We use cookies and/or other tracking technologies to distinguish you from other users of the App, App Site, the distribution platform (Appstore) or Services Sites and to remember your preferences. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you use the App and also allows us to improve the App. If you would like further information on the cookies we use, please refer to our website www.tempur.com and see the privacy policy for your jurisdiction.

Your rights

Under certain circumstances you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Object to or request restriction of the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate legal or other grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

You can exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting us at the details given below.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other relevant rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within fifteen (15) business days (or other period required by applicable laws and regulations). Occasionally it could take us longer than fifteen (15) business days if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you in time and keep you updated.

Personal data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you. We will delete or anonymise your personal data where the processing purpose has been achieved, is impossible to achieve, or where it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose.
