This declaration informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data. The controllers of your personal data in the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Holicay Pte Ltd with whom you have a business relationship or whose products/services you are using.

In the event that you opted to receive our newsletter subscription either by signing up for the newsletter on our service site or when creating an user account, we will by default send you newsletter and marketing emails including information about Holicay and/ or partnered third party providers. The information may also include promotions, offers, or general updates about our company products and services.

You can also “unsubscribe” from our newsletter by clicking on the link included in any of our newsletter and marketing emails.

4. Cookies and similar technology

Like many other website operators, we use cookies, web beacons, and similar technology (collectively ”Tracking Facilities”) when you visit or use our Service Sites.

Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser on your computer or mobile device which allows re-identification of your computer or mobile device, potentially across numerous websites, including the Service Sites for the following purposes:

  • To help us recognize your browser as a previous visitor and save any preferences that may have been set while your browser was visiting our website. We also automatically log you in if you check the ”remember me” option on the login page
  • To help us customize the content and advertisements shown to you on our website or on third party sites and advertisements
  • To help us measure the effectiveness of the features and offerings, advertisements, and email communications (by determining which emails you open and act upon) shown to you on our service site.
  • To save and load your preferred currency and language while on our service sites
  • To allow for website analysis, retargeting and conversion tracking
  • To allow revisits in between different pages and to remember popular recent search queries

In the event where you are redirected to another website for other services from our service site, the storage of cookies on those websites are not tracked by us. We have no control over cookies from other third-party sites.

5. Targeted advertisements based on your interests

Our Service Sites may use what are known as retargeting ads for presentation of interest-related advertising on third-party websites. We use retargeting ads from Google and Facebook to understand your interests by placing a cookie to gather data from other third-party sites. The retargeting ad provider may then display interests-based ads on other third party sites that you visit. In the entire process, no personal data is stored or transmitted and thus, prevents us from being able to identify you from the data collected. That being said, the retargeting ad provider could associate the data collected with you if you have registered an account with them.

6. Conversion tracking using analytics tools

We use advertising partners to advertise our offers on third-party websites in order to show you relevant products and services you may be interested in from us.

Similarly, our ad partners use cookies that cannot be used to personally identify you but can do the following:

  • Identify your clicks on an ad
  • Redirection of your browser to specific landing pages

As such, our advertising partners can show the number of users that clicked on ads that we create and eventually determine the number of people redirected to various pages. In the entire advertising process, we will not collect any personal data of consumers and can only obtain statistical data which are general and non-identifying.

7. Web analytics and statistics / Facebook Pixel and Google analytics

The Service Sites use Google Analytics and Facebook pixel, which are web analytics tools provided by Google LLC and Facebook respectively. These companies use cookies stored on the user's computer when accessing our service sites or App. This allows us to analyze the use of the Service Sites.

Google is subjected to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

8. Google user data
