What is personal data?

Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the ‘GDPR’) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.

Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.

The personal data that we use is set out in this Privacy Statement.

What personal data do we collect?

We may collect the following information:

– Name and job title
– Contact information including email address
– Demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests
– Other information relevant to customer surveys and/or offers

What we do with the information we gather

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for our performance of a contract with you, or because it is in our legitimate business interests to use it. Your personal data may be used for one of the following purposes:

  • Supplying our services to you. Your personal details are required in order for us to enter into a contract with you.
  • Personalising and tailoring our services for you.
  • Communicating with you. This may include responding to emails or calls from you.
  • Supplying you with information by email about our services.

We will also hold customer and prospective customer data for marketing and promotional activities.

  • Storing your details and updating them when necessary on our database, so that we can contact you in relation to our services and information that may be of interest to you or your business. We may contact you by email, phone, fax or mail.
  • Keeping records of our conversations and meetings, so that we can provide targeted services to you.
  • Processing your data for targeting appropriate marketing campaigns.
  • We may use the information to customise the website according to your interests.

We may process the data of our customers and prospective customers for these purposes if we deem this to be necessary for our legitimate interests. Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR provides that we can process your data where it “is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of you which require protection of personal data.”

We do not believe that any of our activities prejudice individuals in any way. We genuinely believe that they help us to offer businesses a tailored, efficient service. However, you do have the right to object to us processing your personal data on this basis. You can do this by contacting us using the contact details provided at the end of this Privacy Statement. We will seek to deal with your request without undue delay, and in any event within one month, subject to any extensions to which we are lawfully entitled. Please note that we may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues which you raise.

How and where do we store or transfer your personal data?

We will only store your personal data within the European Economic Area (the ‘EEA’). The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the GDPR or to equivalent standards by law.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
