If this changes, we will inform you and, where required by law, obtain your clear consent before doing so.

How do we collect your personal information?

We collect personal information about customers, clients, suppliers, website users and others, either directly from the individuals themselves or sometimes from a third party such as a credit bureau.

We will collect additional personal information in the course of our service-related activities throughout our relationship with you.

How will we use personal information?

We need all the categories of information listed above (under ‘What personal information do we hold about you?’) mainly so we can;

  • Perform our contract with you; and
  • Comply with our legal obligations

We will use your personal information to pursue legitimate interests of our own or those of third parties, provided your own interest and fundamental rights do not override those interests. The situations in which we will process your personal information include:

  • Determining the terms on which our relationship can develop to a formal contract
  • Administering our contract with you
  • Providing you with a quote, proposal or estimate of our service offering
  • Identifying you and your account with us

Some of the above grounds for processing will overlap and some processing of your personal information may be based in several grounds.

Refusal to provide personal information

If you refuse to provide certain personal information when requested, we may be unable to comply with our legal obligations or perform the contract we have with you or are trying to enter into with you (e.g. to provide you with our products and services). We will notify you at the time if this is the case.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purpose 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 a different 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, where this is required or permitted by law.

How we use sensitive personal information

We may process special categories of personal information in the following circumstances:

  1. In limited circumstances with your explicit given consent.
  2. Where we need to carry out our legal obligations and in line with our data protection policy.
  3. Where it is needed in the public interest
  4. If processing relates to personal data which has been made public by you

Consent needed?

In limited circumstances, we may approach you for your written consent to allow us to process certain particular sensitive data. If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the information that we would like and the reason we need it, so you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent. We do not need your consent if we use special categories of your personal information in line with our written policy to carry out our legal obligations or exercise specific rights in accordance with the law.

 

Automated decision-making

Automated decision-making takes place when an electronic system uses personal information to make a decision without human intervention. We are allowed to use automated decision-making using your personal information if:

  1. the automated decision-making is necessary to perform our contract with you and appropriate measures are in place to safeguard your rights; or
  2. in limited circumstances, with your explicit written consent and where appropriate measures are in place to safeguard your rights.

We will only make an automated decision about you on the basis of any particularly sensitive personal information if:

  • we have your explicit written consent or
  • the processing is justified in the public interest, and
  • we have also put in place appropriate measures to safeguard your rights.

Sharing your information

We may need to share your personal information with third parties, including government or regulatory authorities, third-party service providers and partners of Intelligent Facility Solutions, so we or our partners can supply you with our products and services.

Where we do share your information with third parties, they will be under binding contractual obligations to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

We may transfer your personal information outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA), but if we do, any such transfer will be subject to the necessary legal measures for safeguarding that information.

Why might we share your personal information with third parties?

We will share your personal information with third parties:

  • where required by law,
  • where it is necessary to administer the working relationship with you, or
  • where we have another legitimate interest in doing so.

All our third-party service providers and partners 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 - they are only permitted to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Data Security

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. Details of these measures are available upon request.
  • 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.

We also restrict access to your personal information to those of our employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know, and on the basis that

  • they will only process your personal information according to our instructions; and
  • they are subject to an enforceable duty of confidentiality

We ensure the security of any personal information we hold by using secure data storage technologies and precise procedures in how we store, access and manage that information. Our methods meet the GDPR compliance requirement.

Cross-border transfers of data

Data protection laws restrict transfers of personal information to other countries unless certain conditions are met. However, we will only transfer your information to fulfil our contact and working relationship to you. In this case, your data will be transferred across border to fulfil your order and ensure that your goods are accurately delivered to you.

How long will we keep your information?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you. Once you no longer have any relationship with the company, we will retain and securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Updating your information

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up-to-date. Please let us know if your personal information changes during your working relationship with us.

Your rights in connection with personal information

Under certain circumstances, you have the right by law 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 rectification 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 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 if, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer or portability 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, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact our Data Manager at data@ihdryers.co.uk

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

What we may need from you

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.
