The kind of personal data we hold
In order to provide our products and services, we ask for your name and contact details, and also any other information which will help to determine how our products and services may be best suited to your needs. So as we provide proposals, information and/or services to you, the records of these interactions and transactions will be held by us. We may collect financial details from you depending on the payment method you choose. If you pay by our third party service (currently PayPal), the details you provide to them regarding your financial details are not passed on to us, and they are the data controller in respect of this.
The basis on which we hold your data
We hold your data in connection with the provision of products and services, this is known as the contractual basis of data retention. We hold it as long as we need to in order to continue to provide products and services, or to respond to enquiries or requests about products and services from you. Other than this, we hold it for as long as is required to fulfill our legal obligations under the law of contract.
Data Sharing and Marketing
We do not share your personal data with anyone. The only exception to this would be if we were legally obliged to do so, for instance in response to a court order in connection with a legal case, or under some other type of legal obligation. Should you wish to receive marketing information on our updated services and products, please opt in on the available links on our website, requesting information.
Data Security
We have put in place what are considered the standard and reasonable securities for personal data. Digital information is password protected and security systems are in place. Hard copy personal information is not accessible to anyone other than authorised personnel, and is held and used by them under conditions overseen by the Data Protection Officer. We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and any suspected data breach will be notified to them and to you in accordance with the legislative requirements.
Your rights
Right of access: you have the right to receive details of the personal information we hold about you, at no charge to you provided the request is within the limits of the legislative requirements.
Right of correction: if there is any inaccuracy in the information we hold, you have the right to request correction. We would also request that you keep us updated regarding any changes to your personal data, such as a change of email address or telephone number. Any corrections are at no charge to you, provided the request is within the limits of the legislative requirements.
Right of erasure: you have the right to request that your details should be deleted from our records if we do not have good reason to hold them. To the extent that our holding your personal data depends on consent, we are required to comply with your request, but not if we are holding it for legitimate contractual purposes or to fulfill legislative requirements. Any deletions are at no charge to you, provided the request is within the limits of the legislative requirements.
Right of objection or restriction: you have the right to request us to take into consideration any particular circumstances or objections you have to our processing your data. To the extent that our holding your personal data depends on consent, we are required to comply with your request, but not if we are holding it for legitimate contractual purposes or to fulfill legislative requirements. Any restrictions or suspensions of processing are at no charge to you, provided the request is within the limits of the legislative requirements.
Right of transfer: you have the right to request that personal data that we hold is transferred to you or to a nominated other party. To the extent that our holding your personal data depends on consent and that the data can be transferred by automated means, we are required to comply with your request, but not if we are holding it for legitimate contractual purposes or to fulfill legislative requirements, or it cannot be automatically transferred. Very little of the personal data we hold would be covered in this category. Any transfers are at no charge to you, provided the request is within the limits of the legislative requirements.
Right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at anytime, and we would then cease to process any data we hold on the basis of consent. As we mentioned above, almost all of the data we hold is on the basis of contract and legislative obligation, rather than consent. That is, we have to collect and hold it in order to provide services or information or proposals about services.
