Data processing principles

We take protecting online privacy and data security seriously. Please read the whole of this statement carefully as it sets out our approach to processing personal data including what information we may collect from you, how we may use it, store it and protect it, and your rights as a data subject.

Our Privacy Statement outlines our approach to any kind of data processing where we are acting as a data controller or co-controller (including collection, use, transfer, storage and deletion) of personally identifiable information (any information that may be used to identify a physical person, and any other information associated therewith) about natural persons. This statement applies to our processing of data collected through any means, actively as well as passively, from persons located anywhere in the world.

We are guided by the following principles when processing data:

  2. We will not collect data beyond what is necessary to accomplish those purposes; we will minimise the amount of information we collect from you to what we need to deliver the services required;

  3. We will collect and use your personal information only if we have sensible business reasons for doing so, such as making available to you our services and products;

  4. We will not use your data for purposes other than those for which it was collected, accepted as stated within our policy, or with your prior consent;

  5. We will seek to verify and/or update your data periodically and we will accept requests from you for amendment of the data held;

  6. We will apply high technical standards to make our processing of data secure;

  7. Except otherwise stated, we will not store data in identifiable form longer than is necessary to accomplish its purpose or as required by law.

As per our Data Processing Principles we will only ask for information that is necessary to deliver our services, and therefore we encourage you not to provide us with personal data or special category data which we do not ask for.

How we store your information

We have in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal data we control. Your information is securely stored on our company cloud storage database which is not publicly accessible or stored in any public domain – it is accessible to our employees and affiliates only, and is password protected. [Your information may also be stored on our third-party email marketing platform, e.g. Mailchimp/ Active Campaign. Our third-party provider has their own privacy policy which you can view on their website]. 

We may store or process your data on cloud based platforms or service providers whose servers are based outside of the UK. We will only use such third party service providers where we are confident that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure that any personal data is subject to an equivalent level of security and protection as required under UK Data Protection Legislation.

We also have in place appropriate procedures to handle any potential Personal Data Breaches, in accordance with Data Protection Legislation. Any such breaches will be reported to the relevant supervisory authority and notified to the affected data subjects where we are legally required to do so.

We will only keep your personal data for as long as is necessary to meet the requirements for which it was collected. This will vary depending on the nature of the requirements and the processing, but apart from in exceptional circumstances where longer retention is necessary we will only retain your personal data for [X] years. After this period of time we will delete your personal data unless there is a legitimate business reason to retain all or parts of the data we hold.

  4. To protect the vital interests of your or another person;

  5. It is in the public interest;

  6. It is in the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party.

We collect data for the purposes set out above. All personal data is managed to ensure that it is either erased from our system when it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, retained for legal reasons or minimised and retained.
