21.1. Rights

The Bank recognises that individuals have specific rights conferred on them by PIPA, including:

  • The right to access personal information about the individual in the custody or under the control of the Bank;
  • The right to be informed about the purposes for which personal information has been and is being used by the Bank;
  • The right to know the names of the persons or types of persons to whom and circumstances in which the personal information has been and is being disclosed;
  • The right to make a written request to the Bank to correct an error or omission in any of the personal information which is under the control of the Bank;
  • The right to request the Bank to cease, or not to begin, using personal information for the purposes of advertising, marketing or public relations or where the use of personal information is likely to cause substantial damage or substantial distress to the individual or to another individual;
  • The right to request that the Bank erase or destroy personal information about the individual where that personal information is no longer relevant for the purposes of its use;
  • The right to restrict the processing of the individual's personal information;
  • The right to be informed of a personal information breach (unless the breach is unlikely to be prejudicial); and
  • The right to complain to the Privacy Commissioner.

Individuals have the right to access their own personal information and receive information about its use. Unless it is reasonable in all circumstances to provide access, the Bank may refuse a request or may not grant access to an individual to their personal information, for the reasons set out below.

The Bank may refuse to provide access to personal information on the following grounds, where the personal information:

  • Is subject to legal privilege.
  • Would reveal confidential information of the Bank or of a third party that is of a commercial nature and it is not unreasonable to withhold the information.
  • Is being used for a current disciplinary or criminal investigation or legal proceedings, and refusal does not prejudice the right of the individual to receive a fair hearing.
  • Was used by a mediator or arbitrator, or was created in the conduct of a mediation or arbitration for which the mediator or arbitrator was appointed by the court or by an agreement.
  • The disclosure of the personal information would reveal intentions of the Bank in relation to any negotiations with the individual to the extent that the provision of access would be likely to prejudice those negotiations.

Unless it is reasonable in all circumstances to provide access, the Bank must not provide access to personal information where the disclosure of personal information:

  • Could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of an individual.
  • Would reveal personal information about another individual.
  • Would reveal the identity of an individual who has in confidence provided an opinion about another individual and the individual providing the opinion does not consent to the disclosure of their identity.

The Bank may consider providing an individual with their personal information where the Bank can reasonably redact information and provide the personal information to the individual who requested it.

21.2. Procedure For Making A Subject Access Request

In order to obtain a copy or examine personal information you must make the request in writing to the Bank, which can be provided in email to the Privacy Officer at privacy@dltjewel.com or be provided by hand to the Bank to the attention to the Privacy Officer at the address provided in Section 26 below.

The Bank will promptly acknowledge the request in writing and inform you if any further information is required to complete the request. A copy of the personal information must be provided within 45 days, or the Bank may extend the period by no more than 30 days (or as permitted by the Privacy Commissioner) where a considerable amount of personal information is requested and the request would interfere with the operations of the Bank, or more time is needed to consult with a third party. The Bank shall inform you in writing of any extension and the expected time of response.

The Bank may charge you a fee for access to the personal information, and such fee will be determined by the Bank, except where such request results in the correction of an error or omission in the personal information about you that is under the control of the Bank.

An individual is only entitled to their own personal information and certain information about the data, but not to information relating to other people (unless the information is also about them or they are acting in a legal capacity on behalf of someone else). The Bank will maintain a record of the details of requests received. . The Privacy Officer may request the advice of the Privacy Commissioner or Bermuda counsel to advise further where required.

22. How We Protect Your Information

We employ industry standard security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use. These measures include device safeguards and secured files and buildings, as well as oversight of our third-party service providers and employee training.

Jewel has put in place appropriate security safeguards to ensure the security of personal information against the risk of loss, unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure or other misuse. Jewel has put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breaches and will notify you and the Privacy Commissioner or any other relevant regulator of a suspected breach where Jewel has a legal obligation to do so. Jewel will provide to the Privacy Commissioner a notice that describes the nature of the breach, the likely consequence for that individual and the measures taken and to be taken by the Bank to address the breach.

In addition, Jewel has limited access of personal information to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a need to know. Those persons will only process your personal information on your instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Details of these measures may be obtained from the Privacy Officer.

However, the security of information transmitted through the internet can never be guaranteed. We are not responsible for any interception or interruption of any communications through the internet or for changes to or losses of data. Users of the Sites and Services are responsible for maintaining the security of any password, biometrics, user ID or other form of authentication involved in obtaining access to password protected or secure areas of any of our digital services. In order to protect you and your data, we may suspend your use of any of the Services, without notice, pending an investigation, if any breach of security is suspected.

We also ask that you do your part by taking precautions such as keeping your User ID and password safe, running an updated version of your virus protection software, and notifying us immediately if you suspect fraudulent activity.
