- To better respond to requests for more details on our products and services.

DOES ICS SHARE MY INFORMATION WITH OTHERS?
We may share or disclose your personal information when necessary to our local sales team or consultants to provide more details on our products and services.

HOW DO I ACCESS AND MANAGE MY INFORMATION?
You have the right to access your personal information, and there are a number of ways in which you can also make choices about our collection and use of your personal information.
- Access to personal information: You can request access to your personal information which we hold about you by contacting us at [email protected].

- Transferring your own personal information: If you wish to transfer your information to another organisation as data controller (and certain conditions are satisfied), you may ask us to do so, and we will send it directly if we have the technical means.
- Right to withdraw consent: If you previously gave us your consent (by a clear affirmative action) to allow us to process your personal information for a particular purpose, but you no longer wish to consent to us doing so, you can contact us to let us know that you withdraw that consent.
HOW DOES ICS PROTECT MY INFORMATION?
ICS has in place generally accepted information security techniques to prevent unauthorized access to information we collect. These measures include policies, procedures, firewalls, access control procedures and cryptography, and technical elements relating to data access controls.
