3. WHY WE NEED TO COLLECT AND PROCESS YOUR DATA

There are a number of different lawful bases on which we rely on for collecting and processing personal data. These are as follows:

Consent

This means that we have received clear consent from you to process your personal data for a specific purpose. An example of this would be if you were to tick a box confirming that you would like to receive email newsletters. Your consent will be ‘granular’, which means you will be able to give separate consent for separate things (e.g. receiving emails, telephone calls, direct mail).

The consent lawful basis applies to our data collection through our website’s contact form, our newsletter signup form, and any competitions or surveys we organise.

Contractual

If you are, or if you become, a customer of ours, we are contractually obliged to hold your personal data on record. This will allow us to communicate with you via email or telephone, in order to carry out the service you have requested from us.

Similarly, if you have requested a quotation from us to carry out a service, we are contractually required to process your data to deliver on our agreement.

Legal obligation

We may need to collect and process your data, if we are required by law to do so. This can include passing on details of people involved in criminal or fraudulent activity.

Legitimate interests

Your data may be processed under the legitimate interests’ basis, in ways you would reasonably expect from us. This would have minimal privacy impact and would not affect your individual rights or freedom.

Examples include using information about your previous purchases from us to build a picture of your current situation and potential need for our services.

We will also use your email address and telephone number to contact you directly with marketing messages and educator pieces which we feel would be relevant and beneficial to you.

Legitimate interests covers our data sourcing from external GDPR compliant suppliers, inbound enquiries, being handed a business card, and social media engagement.

4. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

  • To process any orders or services that we are contractually obliged to.
  • To respond to any requests for quotations or information.
  • To respond to enquiries, queries or complaints, of which we would keep a record of any notes taken during these communications.
  • To send you promotional offers and information about our services that are likely to interest you.
  • To process payments and invoices through our accounting software, we may be required to process your name, email address and billing address.
  • Your details may be passed onto a third-party supplier, only for us to deliver a certain service that we are sub-contracting. On these occasions, we will notify you of the third party that is involved and gain explicit consent before doing so.
  • To send you communications when required by law, or which are necessary to inform you of important changes e.g. to this privacy policy.

5. WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

Where necessary, your details may need to be shared with one of our third-party suppliers who provide us with an outsourced service.

Where possible, we aim to keep the relationship between our clients and suppliers anonymous, however for services such as delivery of an item we may need to pass on name and address details of an individual.

On these occasions, we will notify you of the third party that is involved and gain explicit consent before doing so.

Our suppliers may only use your data for the intended purpose and we work closely with them to ensure that your data is protected.

6. HOW WE STORE AND PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We apply careful consideration to how we store and protect data.

When we collect your personal data, we will keep it for as long as we feel is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. This can be up to six years unless you request to opt out of our communications. It also includes our direct marketing activity that is covered by our ‘legitimate interests’ basis.
