This policy applies to individuals who have registered with The Companies who provide services. Parts of this privacy policy also apply to all users of the website.

 

What this policy applies to

 

This policy applies to the information about yourself that you choose to provide us with or that you allow us to collect. This includes:

  • information you provide during the registration process, such as your name, your age and your contact details,
  • information you provide when you enter prize draws, quizzes, competitions or answer surveys, such as information about your lifestyle including your hobbies, interests and online habits,
  • information you provide when you answer surveys,
  • information which we may obtain about you from third parties (for example, because you have given third parties permission to share that information with us),
  • information we collect about how you use the websites.

 

Post

 

You can also withdraw your consent for postal marketing from anyone by adding your details to the Mail Preference Service. For more details please go to www.mpsonline.org.uk.

 

Telephone calls

 

To withdraw your consent for live or automated calls from anyone you can add your name to the Telephone Preference Service which is maintained at this website address: www.tpsonline.org.uk.

 

You can also opt out at any time from communications via any of the methods described above by e-mailing us using the contact form. Please note that such opt-out will only apply to communications from those third parties with whom we have a business relationship. If you opt out this way, you may still receive communications from third parties with whom we have no relationship.

 

Social media and online

 

You can configure your advertising preferences on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest by accessing your settings or preference options on the relevant platform. If you no longer want to receive personalised advertising on any website you visit, you can usually opt out directly through the privacy policy of the particular website you are accessing.

You can also opt out of such advertising by visiting the IAB opt-out platform at www.youronlinechoices.com

 

Combining data

 

The information you give us may be combined with other information about you that is obtained from other sources. The combination is usually undertaken with a view to enhancing an existing database with more information. For example:

  • If you are already a customer of a third party, that third party might wish to add an e-mail address you give us to the customer records that it holds about you, and use that email address to maintain their relationship with you and/or to offer you goods and services that are similar to those you have previously purchased.
  • The data you provide here may be combined with data you have provided elsewhere to verify your identity or validate the information you have provided (for example in the context of a third party’s anti-fraud measures.
  • If you have given any third parties permission to share your information, or if you sign in through a social medium, those third parties may be able to find and use information about you so that, in order to speed up the registration process or offer you tailored advertising, you don’t have to provide the information directly to us. The information we obtain will be used in accordance with the other parts of this privacy policy.

 

The consent you provided for any information you have previously shared with us or any third parties will be renewed at the time you give your consent for any new information sharing unless you indicate otherwise by contacting us.

 

Analysis and derivative data products

 

Sometimes your data will be used for analysis purposes or to build data products. In these instances, the information is aggregated and wherever possible anonymised in line with the Information Commissioner’s code of practice. Again, these products are of a marketing nature.

 

GDPR

 

What is the GDPR?

 

The General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, deadline of 25th May 2018 addresses the way many businesses look at, collect, process and use any personal data in their business.

 

GDPR aims to further protect the privacy rights and interests of citizens and replaces all data protection laws for EU members, including the UK’s own Data Protection Act (2018).

 

It is to ensure that all countries that trade with or within the EU process personal data in the same way and have similar and fair penalties for breaches in data protection.

 

One of the main changes is around the different legal premise for which data can be processed. There are six in all but for the purposes of marketing we are concerned with either ‘Consent’ or ‘Legitimate Interest’.

 

Consent

 

If a business decides to use consent it would need to have opt-in permission from all contacts. There is a move away from ‘implied’ consent to ‘explicit/unambiguous’ consent. Pre ticked boxes will be replaced by the active ticking of an un-ticked box or a ‘clear affirmative action’. ‘The Companies’ already rely on this approach.

 

Legitimate Interest

 

A business can also use the legitimate interest precedent for their direct marketing particularly where they would like to contact employees of Public/Private limited companies or local authorities with a B2B communication. In this respect they would conduct their marketing on an unsubscribe/opt-out basis. ‘The Companies’ already rely on this approach

 

The Companies’ processes personal data in line with GDPR because we do the following:

 

1) We are clear why we need data at the point of collection

 

2) We always use clear and concise language appropriate for the customer

 

3) We give customers control over their data. You are always able to decide whether to share your personal data with us or not

 

4) Under the GDPR principle accountability, World Trading Partners and ‘The Companies’ are able to demonstrate that we are GDPR compliant.

 

5) We will suppress or eradicate your data if requested to do so.

 

6) You can opt-out from further marketing communication.
