It supplements any other notices or statements we may provide to you.
What personal data do we collect?
“Personal data” is any information from which you can be identified, e.g. name, date of birth, contact details, identification numbers, photographs, and expressions of opinion about you.
The type of personal data we collect, and how we process it, can vary depending on your interactions with us. Where applicable, we will collect:
- Your email address
- Your name (although you may choose to give your first name only, or use a pseudonym)
- Your contact telephone number
Where do we get your personal data from?
We collect your personal data directly via the website. You may share personal data about yourself and your circumstances by:
- Using the website’s ‘Contact Us’ form to ask us a question or to request a quote
- Using the website’s ‘Contact Us’ form to register to receive information about our services and products
We need you to provide the personal data in the situations listed above so that we can moderate comments, respond to queries and, where you have indicated, include your email address in the project e-newsletter distribution list.
If you do not provide this data, it may mean that we will be unable to respond to your question or include you in the email distribution list for our newsletter.
Basis for using your personal
We need a legal basis for any processing of personal data. This means that our processing must be for one of a limited number of reasons set out in the data protection laws. The legal basis that we rely on is your consent.
Consent
If you give your consent by ‘opting-in’ via the contact form, we will share email updates with you. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or via the ‘unsubscribe’ option within the mailing.
If we require your consent to process your personal data in any other circumstances, we will contact you separately to request this.
Processing of your personal data
“Processing” means doing anything with the personal data, such as collecting, recording, organising, structuring, storing, adapting or altering, retrieving, accessing, consulting, disclosing, disseminating, aligning or combining, restricting, erasing or destroying or using the data in any way.
We will process your personal data for the purposes set out above, or as we otherwise notify you.
The personal data you provide will be subject to security measures and procedures to minimise the risk of unauthorised access, loss, theft or disclosure. Your personal data will not be used for the purposes of automated decision making.
How long do we keep your personal data for?
Your email address will be retained indefinitely as part of the mailing list, or until you unsubscribe.
Who do we share your personal data with?
Your personal data will not be be disclosed to other organisations.
Keeping your personal data secure
We are committed to the protection and security of your personal data. We will ensure that appropriate measures are taken against its unlawful or unauthorised processing, and against its accidental loss or damage.
How we may contact you
Please note that we may contact you in connection with the purposes set out above, by email.
Your Data Protection Rights
You have the right to:
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 that we hold about you, and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data that we hold about you corrected, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new personal data.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data if:
- there is no good reason for us continue processing it;
- you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below);
- you believe we may have processed your personal data unlawfully; or
- we are required to erase your personal data to comply with the law.
Please note that we may not be able to comply with your request for specific legal reasons which, if applicable, will be notified to you.
Object to processing of your personal data when we are relying on public task or a legitimate interest (or those of a third party), and you feel that this processing impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. However, these may be overridden by the public interest or our legitimate interest grounds.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- if you want us to establish the accuracy of the data;
- where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
- where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it (for example if you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims); or
- If you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding public interest or legitimate interest grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Please note that this right only applies to automated data that you initially provided consent for us to use, or where we used the data to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time when we are relying on consent to process your personal data. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the “unsubscribe” (or similar) links on any marketing message sent to you, or by contacting us at any time.
When you opt out of receiving these marketing messages you will no longer hear from us in that regard.
Exercising your rights
If you wish to exercise any of your above rights, please send us a request via email (info@partybales.co.uk).
You will not have to pay a fee to exercise any of your 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 confirm your identity. 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 order to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month, although it may take us longer if your request is particularly complex, or if you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Feedback
If you have feedback for or questions about this privacy notice, please let us know by emailing info@partybales.co.uk or using the contact us form.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Notice at any time, and we will provide you with a new Privacy Notice when we make any substantial updates. From time to time, we may also notify you in other ways, about the processing of your personal data.
