The data we collect about you and how we collect it

Personal data, or personal information, 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 may collect, use, store and transfer the following types of personal data:

  • Identity data: including first name, last name, marital status, title, date of birth and gender;
  • Contact data: including residential address, email address and telephone number;
  • Technical data: including IP address used to connect your computer or mobile device to the internet, browser type and version, operating system and platform and other technologies on the devices you use to access this Website.

We use different methods to collect personal data from you, including through:

  • Direct interactions. For example, when we interact with you for business purposes or contact you with business related information that we consider may be of interest to you. Also, if you make an enquiry or submit a job application, you will be asked to provide certain information including name, email address and telephone number.
  • Automated technologies or interactions. When you interact with our Website, we may automatically collect information about your equipment, browsing action and patterns. This information is collected through cookies. A cookie is an element of data that our Website sends to your browser which is then stored on your system. You can set your browser to prevent this from happening. Any information collected in this way can be used to identify you unless you change your browser settings.

We do not collect sensitive data about you without your express consent and would only do so in accordance with data privacy laws.

“Sensitive data” refers to the various categories of personal data identified by data privacy laws as requiring special treatment. Such categories included racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, biometric and genetic data, criminal records, religious beliefs and physical and mental health.

How we use your personal data

We only use your personal data where required for specific purposes. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • To contact you with business related information that we consider may be of interest to you;
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (e.g. conducting our business in an efficient and compliant manner and the overall promotion of our business) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; and
  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation

Unless we consider we have a legitimate business reason for contacting you, we will only contact you with your consent, and you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

We do not sell, rent or exchange your personal information with any third party for commercial reasons.

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data Retention

We maintain a specific data retention policy to ensure that we only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose we collected it for, including to satisfy 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 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 through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

International Transfers

We may from time to time, wish to transfer personal data to our other group entities or third parties supporting the operation of our business, which may involve transferring data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Before making any such transfer of personal data, we will take the necessary steps to ensure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to your personal data in accordance with the applicable data privacy laws.

Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, by law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as “data subject access request”): this enables you to receive a copy of your personal data and to check that we are lawfully processing it;
  • Request a rectification to your personal data: this entitles you to have any incomplete or inaccurate personal data corrected;
  • Request the erasure of your personal data (often referred to as the “right to be forgotten”): this entitles you to request your personal data be deleted 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 (below);
  • Object to the processing of your personal data: this entitles you to request that we no longer process your personal data;
  • Request the restriction of the processing of your personal data: this entitles you to request that we suspend the processing of your personal data, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it, or if we no longer need your data for our legitimate interest but we need to hold some of it for the purpose of legal proceedings;
  • Request transfer of your personal data: this entitles you to receive a copy of your personal data, or request we transmit such personal data to another party; and
  • Withdraw your consent at any time: where we are relying on consent to process your personal data, you may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us at info@ceres-techspaces.com
