  1. the Business, and not any Provider, determines the purposes for which personal data collected through this Website is used, and the Business is the data controller of such personal data under the PDPA;
  2. the Providers act only as data processors, and may access or process personal data solely to the extent necessary to build, host, store, back up, secure, support, maintain or manage this Website and its related services, including automated database backups;
  3. no Provider uses personal data collected through this Website for its own marketing purposes;
