If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, then these countries may not
have data protection or other laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We
will, however, take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in
accordance with this privacy policy and applicable law. The European Parliament
issued the General Data Protection Regulations (‘Regulations’) for the protection of
natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free
movement of such data. These Regulations have become effective from May 28,
2018. Few of the important aspects of the Regulations are summarized hereinafter:
The Regulation has the following objectives:
The Regulations applies to:
(a) the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union; or
(b) the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union.
Regulation does not apply to protection of personal data when:
The following principles should be considered for processing of the personal data of the data subject:
The Regulations provide that the Consent of the data subject is necessary for processing the data and following should be considered while taking the consent:
The Regulations contain new provisions intended to enhance the protection of children’s personal data which are stated hereinafter:
The Regulations provides the following rights for individuals:
The Regulations applies even if the data is concerning persons who are within
European Union irrespective of the fact where the person for whom data is
processed and who processes the data;
The Regulations also applies if data is concerning monitoring of the behavior of a
data subject within the European Union;
If because of either of the aforementioned requirement, these Regulations are
applicable, a consent would have to be obtained, in a manner which is explicit, from
the person to use data related to him for a particular purpose.
The data subject also has certain rights such as erasure of data, restricting of
processing and object to the processing of his data. These rights have to be made
available to him and any non-compliance would result in damages.
Any dealing with children would require consent from their parents or guardians.
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes
outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the
purposes set out in this privacy policy unless a longer retention period is required or
permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose
in this policy will require us keeping your personal information for longer than 2
years.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal
information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for
example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives),
then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further
processing until deletion is possible.
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of
organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures
designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However,
please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100%
secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information,
transmission of personal information to and from our Sites is at your own risk. You
should only access the services within a secure environment.
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years
of age.
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
By using the Sites, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent
or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Sites.
If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been
collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly
delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we have
collected from children under age 18, please contact us at info@assaadvisors.com.
In Short: Yes, we will update this policy as necessary to stay compliant with relevant
laws.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be
indicated by an updated “Revised” date and the updated version will be effective as
soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we may

This Cookie Policy explains how ASSA Advisors (“ASSA Advisors”, “we”, “us”, and
“ours”) use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our
websites at https://www.assaadvisors.com/, (“Websites”). It explains what these
technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of
them.
In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes
personal information if we combine it with other information. In such cases, our
Privacy Policy (https://www.assaadvisors.com/privacypolicy) will apply in addition to
this Cookie Policy.
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when
you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make
their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting
information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, ASSA Advisors) are called “first party
cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party
cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be
provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content, and
analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your
computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain
other websites.
We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required
for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as
“essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and
target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties.
Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics and other
purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and
the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies
served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit):
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Websites for you.

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
