  5. What kind of information will we hold about other individuals that we interact with in the course of our business?

In the course of operating our business, we will collect and use the contact details and other business information of our business partners and potential business partners. We consider that it is in our legitimate business interests to do so.

How is your personal information collected?

As you interact with our website or our app, we may automatically collect Technical and Usage Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies, server logs and other similar technologies.

We collect personal information about our business contacts, from our business contacts directly in the course of business and otherwise from publically accessible sources.

How do we keep your information safe?

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

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

Your duty to inform us of changes

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your working relationship with us.

Why do we use personal information about you?

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

Typical uses of your Technical and Usage Data are:

  • To monitor our website and/or app activity in order to improve our online services;
  • To help us to understand how visitors arrive at our website, browse or use our website and app highlight areas where we can improve areas such as navigation and marketing campaigns.

We use Contact Data as you would expect, to make contact with individuals who we consider may be interested in working with us in some way or who have asked us specifically to contact them about something. We use other business data to assess and identify business opportunities.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Summary

We may have to share your data with third parties, including:

  • third-party service providers (data “processors” who support our services and only process your personal information on our instructions and subject to specific contractual obligations) such as cookie companies collecting certain information online, our CRM system; and
  • another company in the OWG (which may act as a data processor or data controller or a joint data controller). Your personal information might be shared for our general business administration, efficiency and accuracy purposes. You can see a list of all companies in the OWG that process personal data by clicking here. This Privacy Notice governs all use of data by all companies in the OWG.

All our third-party service providers and other entities in the OWG are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Sharing with 3rd parties in the course of business

We may need to disclose your data to 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 policy.

Transfers of data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA)

In the ordinary course of the provision of our services we do not expect to transfer any of your personal data outside the EEA. In the event that we need to transfer your personal information outside the EEA, we will only do so lawfully and you can expect a similar degree of protection to your personal information as you would expect in the UK. We can provide more information about this if you would like us to in the event that any transfer of data is contemplated

Your rights of access, correction, erasure and restriction

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information 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 information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, request the restriction of processing or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact us at DPO@OneWelbeck.com.

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

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

Right to withdraw consent

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us at DPO@OneWelbeck.com. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.
