What is “personal data”?

 

The term “personal data” as used in this Notice shall mean any information that enables us to identify you, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as your name, identification number, location data, online identifier or one or more factors specific to you. "Personal data” includes special categories of personal data and "pseudonymised” personal data but excludes anonymous information or information from which the identity of an individual has been permanently removed.

  • Home and/or work address

  • Date of birth

  • Gender

‍

Special categories of data:

We do not anticipate that we will routinely process "special categories of data” in the provision of our services, although we may in some circumstances.

 

Why do we collect your personal data?

 

We are committed to processing your personal data in accordance with the law and in a fair and transparent manner. We will only process your personal data where we have a legal basis for doing so.

 

Where we process personal data on behalf of clients as a "processor”, we do not own such information and we will only use it to provide our services in compliance with this Notice and our contractual obligations.

 

How do we share your personal data?

 

We will not sell, hire out or pass on your personal data to third parties, except in the situations provided for in this Notice or unless you provide prior consent. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Notice.

​

 

How do we store your personal data?

 

We store personal data, in a form that permits us to identify you, for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which the personal data is processed. We store your personal data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our rights. We may keep an anonymised form of your personal data, which will no longer refer to you, for statistical purposes without time limits, to the extent that we have a legitimate and lawful interest in doing so. Please contact us for further details about our data retention periods.
