This policy explains how we may collect Personal Data about you.

o   Your privacy as a user and protection of your data are human rights

o   We have a duty of care to the people whose data we collect and process

  • o Data is a liability, it should only be collected and processed when absolutely necessary
  • o We dislike spam as much as you do!
  • o We will never sell or rent your data, and will only distribute your data with our third party partners with your specific consent. Only in exceptional circumstances would your information be shared when appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies or protect the rights of others or ourselves, property or safety.

 

Personal information – what this website collects, when and why…

When using our contact form on our site, as appropriate, you will be asked to enter your name, email address, phone number or other details to help you with your experience and allow us to contact you with the information you have requested.

 

We collect information from you when you respond to a survey, fill out a form or enter information on our site. This allows us to respond to enquiries, provide you with a service or it can provide us with feedback on our products or services.

 

We may use the information we collect from you when you contact us, make a purchase, respond to a survey, in marketing communication, use our website, or use certain other site features, in the following ways:

  • To allow us to better service you in responding to your customer service requests.
  • To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature.
  • To quickly process your transactions.
  • To ask for ratings and reviews of services or products
  • To follow up with them after correspondence (email or phone inquiries)

What lawful basis do we rely on to use your personal data?

The lawful basis that we rely on for processing your personal data are:

  • o You have provided your consent to us using your personal data for a specific purpose. We will ask for your consent to use your personal data to send you electronic communications such as emails. You always have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

 

  • o It is necessary in connection with the performance of a contract with you. Sometimes it is necessary to process your personal data so that we can enter into contractual relationships with you. For example, if you wish to order a product or service, we will need to process certain information in order to provide you with that service.

 

  • o It is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject. This would include where we have to retain certain records, for example. Or where we are required to disclose personal data to any regulators or law enforcement agencies.


  • o It is within our legitimate interests. Applicable law allows personal data to be collected and used if it is reasonably necessary for our legitimate interests or a third party’s legitimate interests (as long as the processing is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact individuals’ rights). We will rely on this ground to process your personal data when it is not practical or appropriate to ask for your consent, and where we are confident that this will not impact your rights.

When we process your personal data to achieve such legitimate interests, we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws.

We will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, for example where use would be excessively intrusive (unless, for instance, we are otherwise required or permitted to by law)
