  1. How we use your personal data and the legal basis we rely on

We will use your personal information for one or more of the following reasons:

a)       to provide the services you have engaged us to provide,

b)      to take steps to enter into a contract with you,

c)       to notify you of changes to our terms or to our privacy policy,

e)      to improve our services and

f)        to make our website more relevant.

The legal bases we rely on to process your data are as follows:

  • to fulfil a contract with you (a),
  • in our legitimate interest as a commercial organisation to provide services to our clients or for the purpose of business development, provided that our use is proportionate and respects your privacy rights (b), (d), (e), (f),
  • to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (c),
  1. Disclosure of your personal data

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in paragraph 4 above:

  • our selected business partners, acting as data processors based in the UK, who assist us in providing services to you,
  • professional advisers acting as data processors or joint data controllers, including lawyers and auditors based in the UK,
  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities based in the UK, who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances,
  • third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts 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, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

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 third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and we permit them to process your personal data only for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

  1. International transfers

We will not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

  1. Data security

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 process your personal data only 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.

  1. Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will retain your personal data only 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.

By law we have to keep basic information about our clients (including Contact and Identity Data) for six years after they cease being clients.

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.

  1. Your legal rights and opting out

Under certain circumstances, you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are processing it lawfully.
  • 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, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • 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 to continue to process it.  Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and your particular situation makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.  You have also the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes (see below for how to opt out). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.

 

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.  Usually you will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).

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 help us protect your personal data.

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.

You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the first instance.

Opting out

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by sending an email to info@censeo.uk.com, with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line.
