When we respond to freedom of information and data subject requests, the legal basis for processing your personal data is that it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation placed on us as the data controller.
When we respond to complaints you may have about NOCC we process your personal data for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
We process any special category personal data (e.g. health data) which you may provide on our contact centre form, or which may be recorded on outbound telephone calls to you from our contact centre, or other application form, for reasons of substantial public interest.
We may need to process your personal data to provide products or services to you, either at your request, with your express consent or in order to fulfil an existing contract, or to enable us to administer any competitions or other promotions you enter into for which you may have given express or implied consent.
We may process some personal data (e.g. accident and incident reports) for the purposes of employment, social security or social protection law.
There may also be instances where we need to process your personal data when it is necessary for our legitimate interests when your personal data is not processed in the context of public tasks, (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. We would rely on this basis when we are required to communicate with you further to any enquiries or contact you have made with us, that is not covered by the lawful bases described above.
We employ comprehensive and appropriate security measures in order to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and any other unlawful forms of processing.

Personal data collected via the website and enquiries sent to our Phnom Penh office will only be processed in Cambodia.
Although we will always treat the information you send us with the strictest confidence, we cannot guarantee the security of the Internet. No transmission over the Internet can ever be guaranteed secure and it is possible, though very unlikely, that someone other than ourselves could access and read information sent to us in this way. If you feel concerned about this, please use another form of contact, e.g. telephone or post.

We will then ensure your personal data is deleted.
If you have made a subject access request, a freedom of information request or a complaint about NOCC we will retain your data until the end of December 2023, after which point it will be securely deleted. Copies of identity verification documents will be destroyed immediately after we have verified your identity.
If you are registered for a competition or an event organized by or promoted by CAMSOC and NOCC, we will retain your personal data either until the end of the competition or if directly linked to the end of the Games, until the end of December 2023, unless we have relied in your consent for the use of your personal data, in which case we will retain your data until you expressly withdraw your consent for us to process your personal data.
