When we say “a PMI product” (or similar, e.g. a website, a mobile application, or a call centre), we mean a product (or website, mobile application, or call centre, etc.) of ours or of another PMI affiliate. Depending on the purposes for which information about you was collected, information about you may be shared with, and accessed by, other PMI affiliates, if appropriate to fulfil such purposes. The information will be shared with PMI affiliate, which deals with administration of personal data processing for PMI affiliates; the information will be shared with the PMI affiliate that is responsible for the country in which you are normally resident (if it wasn’t the affiliate that first collected the information); and if you travel out of your normal country of residence, the information may be used also by the PMI affiliates that operate in the countries in which you are travelling. Details of the PMI affiliates and the countries in which they are established are available on the relevant country pages of www.pmi.com.
