Collection of Personal Data

Personal data refers to any information relating to you as an individual that can identify you directly or indirectly. This may include your name, address, date of birth, and occupation.

Voluntarily Provided Information

Certain sections of our website may ask you to provide personal information voluntarily. When you register an account, you will be asked to provide information which may include your name and email address. You may also choose to provide your address, and phone number. To ask a question to an expert, you will need to provide your bank account information (unless you opt to pay via PayPal).

Additional personal data may be required depending on the services you wish to use. If you do not wish to provide this information, please refrain from using the respective service. We will clearly state what information is required and the reasons for collecting it at the time of the request.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain details from your device, including your IP address or mobile advertising identifier, browser type, date and time of visit, and pages accessed. In some jurisdictions, such as countries in the European Economic Area, this information may be considered personal data under applicable laws.

We use cookies to gather this information, which helps us better understand our website visitors, their origins, and what content they find most engaging. This information is used for internal analytics and to improve our website's quality and relevance. Please refer to our Cookie Notice for further details.

Information from Third Party Sources

Periodically, we may receive personal data about you from third-party sources, including platforms where you have chosen to make information public. We only accept such data if the third parties have your consent or are legally permitted or required to share it with us.

The types of information collected from third parties include publicly available details such as email addresses and comments posted publicly. We use this information mainly for customer support purposes.

We do not disclose any non-public personal information about our customers, past or present, to any third party except for a business purpose and otherwise permitted by law. As needed, we may disclose information we collect, as described above, to Provider Law Firms and companies that provide services on our behalf. If information is shared, we protect against the subsequent disclosure of that information with a confidentiality agreement or other protective measures.

In no event do we disclose your personal information to companies that will use that information to contact you about their own products or services.

Providing Information About Others

If you provide personal data of third parties (for instance, a friend's or potential expert's email address) to Readilaw, you must first inform them of the disclosure and obtain any necessary consents in accordance with applicable laws. Failure to do so may result in liability to both the person concerned and Readilaw.

Use of Personal Data

We use your personal data for several purposes. This may include:

  • Answering questions: We use your personal data to send you information about our services via email if you are registered as a user of the site.
  • Publication of your content: The content of your conversation may be published on the website, accessible to all users, and retrievable via external search engines. Please ensure your contributions do not contain information that could identify you or others personally.
  • Research: Some of your data may be used to determine user preferences and habits for market research and advertising purposes, but such data will be anonymized.

The legal basis for collecting and using your personal data depends on the type of data and context. Typically, data is processed to fulfill a contract with you, for legitimate business interests that are not overridden by your rights, to comply with legal obligations, or to protect vital interests. If we require personal data for legal compliance or contractual performance, we will inform you at the time and explain whether the information is mandatory and the consequences of not providing it.

For further information about our legal basis for processing your data, please contact us using the details provided below.

Sharing of Personal Data

We may share your personal data with the following parties:

  • Service providers: These assist us in delivering our services, such as credit card companies for processing payments.
  • Advertising partners: We may share cookie information (which does not directly identify you) with advertising partners to display relevant ads. We do not share your contact details.
  • Law enforcement and regulatory authorities: We may disclose your personal data if required by law, to defend our legal rights, or to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
  • Actual or potential buyers: In the event of a business sale, merger, or acquisition, your data may be shared with potential buyers, their agents, and advisers, provided they use it only as described in this Privacy Notice.
  • Other parties with your consent: We may share your information with other individuals or entities if you have given your consent.

International Data Transfers

Our website servers are currently located in Jamaica, and our group companies, service providers, and partners operate globally. Please note that Jamaica’s protection laws may not offer the same level of protection as those in other countries globally. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your personal data internationally.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data if there is a legitimate business need, such as providing you with a requested service or complying with legal, tax, or accounting requirements. When there is no longer a need to process your data, we will either delete or anonymize it. If immediate deletion is not possible, for instance if your data is stored in backup archives, we will securely store and isolate it until deletion becomes feasible.

Your Rights

You have the following data protection rights, which you may exercise using the contact details below:

  • Access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal data. You can also modify some of your data by logging into your account and updating your profile information.
  • Object to or restrict the processing of your personal data or request its portability.
  • Opt-out of marketing communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in emails, or by contacting us for other forms of marketing.
  • Withdraw your consent at any time, where processing is based on consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal or based on other legal grounds.
  • Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority regarding our collection and use of your personal data.

We respond to all requests from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable laws. For further information, please contact your local data protection authority.

When updates are made, we will inform you using appropriate measures based on the significance of the changes. Where required by law, we will seek your consent to material changes.
