​

Who do we share your personal data with?

​

We may share and disclose your personal data with the following categories of third parties for the purposes described in this privacy notice:

  • Suppliers, consultants and service providers: We use a number of suppliers, consultants and service providers (our “Suppliers”) who perform functions on our behalf and/or help us in providing the Services, such as cloud-based software and hosting suppliers, email marketing providers, email service providers and web analytics providers.

 

  • Professional advisers: We use professional advisers (who act as processors or controllers), including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers, who provide legal, banking, accounting and insurance services.

 

  • Business transfers: We may share personal data with third parties to whom we choose to sell, transfer, or merge part of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, the new owner may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

 

  • Compliance with laws: We may be required to share some personal data as required to comply with the law.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our Suppliers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. We will not disclose your personal data to any other third parties without your specific consent unless we are required to do so by law.

​

3. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS, SECURITY AND RETENTION

​

International data transfers

​

Some of our Suppliers are based outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

​

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

​

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.

 

  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

 

  • Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

​

Keeping your data secure

​

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

​

For how long do we keep your personal data?

​

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

​

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

​

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data – please see below.

​

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

​

4. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include rights to:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”) and to certain other supplementary information that this privacy notice is already designed to address.

 

  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected.

 

  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

 

  • Object to processing of your personal data at any time for direct marketing purposes.

 

  • Object to decisions being taken by automated means which produce legal effects concerning you or significantly affect you.

 

  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interests as the legal basis of our processing. If we have compelling legal grounds to carry on processing your personal data, we will be able to continue to do so.

 

  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

 

  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

 

  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.

 

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please email our Privacy Lead at privacy@factory42.uk and let us have enough information to identify you.
