Stafford Projects Limited t/a Pure Privacy Consulting (“Pure Privacy”, “we” “us” and “our”) collects, uses and is responsible for certain personal information about you. This means that we are a ‘controller’ of that personal information. We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under registration number ZA492954.
If you have any questions, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact us at privacy@pureprivacy.co
Personal information (also referred to as ‘personal data’) means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).
We do not collect any personal information via our website, including through the use of cookies or similar technologies.
We may, however, collect and hold personal information about you through the course of providing services to you or in relation to our general business dealings with you. The type of information we collect and use will depend on what you choose to provide us and the purpose of our relationship. However, the information we hold will typically include your name, contact details (such as telephone number, email address and business address), company and job title.
We need certain information from you to provide our services, to administer our business relationship with you, and to respond to any queries you send us. If you do not provide us with the necessary information, we will not be able to provide services or administer and respond to your queries.
We collect information directly from you during the course of our engagement to provide services to you or your organisation, or through our general business dealings with you. This also includes any information you provide when you correspond with us in person, by phone, email or otherwise.
We may also collect information about you or your colleagues that is available through publicly available sources, such as professional networking sites (including LinkedIn) and general market research. Occasionally we may receive information about you from a third party via an introduction where they think you might benefit from our services.
We will use your personal information as follows:
Where we process your personal information in connection with providing our services to you, we consider this processing is necessary to perform the contract we have entered, or are about to enter, into with you.
Where we process your information to administer and manage our business relationship with you, for other business purposes and for marketing purposes, we consider this is necessary for our legitimate interests and that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
We will rely on legal obligation if we are legally required to hold your personal information to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, such as disclosure to regulators and for purposes of disputes or legal proceedings affecting us.
As explained above, we do not use any cookies or similar technologies on our website.
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.
We may have to share your personal information with the following categories of third parties for the purposes set out in this privacy notice:
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
We may also be required to share some personal information as required to comply with the law.
We may transfer your Personal Data outside the EEA to data processors in the US. Some of our systems are hosted outside of the EEA. Whenever we transfer your information outside the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring appropriate safeguards are implemented. Please contact us if you want further information about the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data outside the EEA.
You have a number of rights under applicable data protection laws which may apply in certain circumstances. These include the right to:
If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please email us at privacy@pureprivacy.co and let us have enough information to identify you. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal information 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 relation to your request to speed up our response.
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 is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
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 information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your personal information.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority in the European Union (or European Economic Area) state where you work, normally live or where any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred. The supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner’s Office who may be contacted at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/.
