1.0 Our Core Beliefs regarding User Privacy and Data Protection
· User-privacy and personal data protection are human rights
· We have a duty of care to the people covered by our data
· Data is a liability, so should only be collected and processed when completely necessary
· We will never sell or otherwise distribute or make public your personal information
2.0 Relevant legislation
Along with our business and internal computer systems, this website is designed to comply with the following EU legislation with regards to data protection and user-privacy:
· EU Data Protection Directive 1995
· EU General Data Protection Regulation 2018
Our compliance with the above legislation, all of which are stringent in nature, means that we are probably compliant with the data protection and personal privacy legislation of many other countries as well. But if you are unsure about whether this site is compliant with your own country's specific data protection and user-privacy legislation, you must not use it and should log-out now. You must also not use this site if you are under 18 years of age, as it is not intended for children and we have not attempted to ensure its suitability for people under 18.
3.0 Personal information that we may collect and why:
We may collect data concerning individuals such as (but not limited to) their name, employing company's name and website URL, postal address, country, email address, telephone number and job title and/or role within our corporate customers, as well as those individuals' (and their employing corporations') interests regarding our products and services.
This information is usually collected in person, through the completion of a form (at an event or online), or when you contact us by any means, through interactions on a social media page or on a website, or when you make a purchase or enquiry. We will use the data to send marketing communications to you relating to our business, to process orders and send related administrative information to you, and when we have a legal right or duty to use or disclose information about you.
