Our Commitment

We are fully committed to handling personal information in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This means your personal information will be:

• Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner.
• Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.
• Only collected as required for our lawful purposes.
• Reviewed regularly.
• Retained only for as long as necessary and in accordance with our retention policy.
• Processed securely and with integrity.

It is important that you are aware of our procedures and practices and understand your rights in relation to your personal data and this Privacy Notice is designed to be part of that information.

Why Do We Need to Process Personal Data?

We need to process your personal data throughout our relationship with you for updating you on our services, server issues, website updates, regulatory requirements.

What Personal Data Do We Collect?

“Personal data” or “personal information” is any information relating to or about an individual from which that person can be directly or indirectly identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

What is Our Lawful Basis for Processing Your Personal Data?

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. We may also use your personal information where we need to protect your interests (or someone else’s interest) or where it is needed in the public interest.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Do We Share with Third-Parties?

We may share your personal information with third parties where required by law, where it is necessary to administer the working relationship with you or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so.

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure all information sharing is carried out in a secure way and will ask our third-party associates to assure us they will handle your personal data securely by using contracts to make our requirements clear and within the legal requirements as set out in the GDPR.

Retention of Personal Data

The retention periods for personal data depend on the purpose for which the information was obtained and will differ for different uses.

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. We will comply with this request, subject to the restrictions of regulatory obligations and legitimate interests noted.

We do collect statistics on visits to our website and social media sites and whilst these are anonymous statistics, your IP address may be considered personal data under the legislation. Therefore, we may collect information about the computer or device which is used to access our website. We use this information to collect anonymous statistics to view traffic to the site and how the site is used. This collection does not identify individual users.

Data Breaches

In the event of a “high risk” personal data breach the individual(s) will be notified immediately within 72 hours as well as the Information Commissioners Office (ICO). Our company and staff shall  follow our security protocols in line with our “Data Breach” company policy as well as the ICO guidelines and take all necessary precautions in order to minimise  the severity of the breach for the individual.

Your Rights

You have the right to have any inaccuracies or factual errors corrected or incomplete data amended. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.

You can request to have your personal data deleted or removed if there is no compelling reason to keep it. If the personal data is held for statutory or regulatory requirements it cannot be erased. Following erasure we will not retain your information and therefore it is possible that your personal information may be re-obtained from the public domain or social media which may result in contact from our organisation.

You have the right to restrict processing. This relates to personal data where the accuracy is contested or where you have objected to our processing based on our legitimate interests or where we no longer require the personal data but you request us to keep.

You have the right to take and use your data for other services or purposes.

Where the processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to the way we handle, use or store your personal data.

If you wish to exercise any of your rights in respect of your personal data, please contact us using the details above. Our Data Protection Officer will provide you with further information if required.
