7. How Do You Use My Personal Data?

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for our performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data, or because it is in our legitimate business interests to use it. Your personal data may be used for one of the following purposes:

  • Supplying our products and services to you. Your personal details are required in order for our to enter into a contract with you.
  • Personalising and tailoring our products and services for you.
  • Communicating with you. This may include responding to emails or calls from you.
  • Supplying you with information by email, text message and post that you have opted-in to (you may unsubscribe or opt-out at any time by choosing ‘unsubscribe’ in our correspondence or by contacting us.

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email, telephone, text message and/or post with information, news, and offers on our products/services, events, webinars and industry updates. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam. We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, and you will always have the opportunity to opt-out.

We use the following automated systems for carrying out certain kinds of decision-making and profiling. If at any point you wish to query any action that we take on the basis of this or wish to request ‘human intervention’ (i.e. have someone review the action themselves, rather than relying only on the automated method), the GDPR gives you the right to do so. Please contact us to find out more using the details in Part 13.

The following automated decision-making method(s) may be used:

  • Your engagement with our email content so that we can ensure we are sending you content related to the emails you engage with and with an appropriate level of frequency.

The following automated profiling may take place:

  • Your location so that we can ensure the content we provide you with is most relevant.

8. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?

We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary for light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Your personal data will, therefore, be kept for the following periods (or, where there is no fixed period, the following factors will be used to determine how long it is kept):

  • Personal data for marketing purposes prior to you becoming a client – this will be retained until you fail to engage with our content for a period of 6 months or until you opt-out of our communications.
  • Personal data for marketing purposes whilst you’re a customer – this will be retained for the duration of you being a client so we can best support you and provide you with information about relevant products and services, events, webinars and industry-specific advice which we also provide and which we feel you will also benefit from.
  • Personal data for marketing purposes after you were a customer – this will be retained until you fail to engage with our content for a period of 6 months or until you opt-out of our communications.

We store your personal data in the UK. This means that it will be fully protected under the GDPR.

We also may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR including:

  • Ensuring that the companies we use to store your data are absolutely critical to the providing of our service. These include HubSpot, Google, Xero and may also include other companies.
  • Ensuring that the method of passing data to them complies with the securest methods appropriate to the passing and nature of that data.

We may share your information with:

  • third-parties used to facilitate payment transactions, for example, Stripe, PayPal
  • third-parties where you have a relationship with that third party and you have consented to us sending information (for example social media sites or other third-party application providers);
  • any third party in order to meet our legal and regulatory obligations, including statutory or regulatory reporting or the detection or prevention of unlawful acts;

11. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held).

This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 13. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request.

We will respond to your subject access request within 30 days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.

12. How Can I Have My Data Erased?

If you wish for your personal data to be erased from our various systems, please contact us (See Part 13) and we will follow our strict procedures to ensure that all of your data has been removed from our systems.
