Introduction

This notice tells you what personal information I process, your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

In the context of the law and this notice, ‘personal information’ is information that clearly identifies you as an individual or which, if combined with other information, could be used to identify you. Acting in any way on personal information, including collecting, using, changing, and storing is referred to as ‘processing’.

This policy complies with the Data Protection Act 2018 (the Act) accordingly incorporating the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Types of information processed.

I process different kinds of personal information about you. These can be grouped as:

‘Identity Information’ that includes your first name, last name, title and other identifiers that you may have provided at some time.

‘Contact Information’ that includes your address, email address, telephone numbers and any other information you have given to me for the purpose of communication.

‘Service Information’ is information about the work I may or have carried out for you.

‘Technical Information’ is information about your Internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.

2. If you do not provide personal information required

Where I need to process personal data, whether by law or under the terms of a contract I have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, I may not be able to perform that contract. In that case, I may have to stop providing my services to you. If so, I will notify you of this at the time.

The bases on information about you is processed

The law requires me to determine under which of six defined bases I process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category.

If a basis on which I process your personal information is no longer relevant then I shall immediately stop processing your data.

If the basis changes then if required by law I shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which I have determined that I can continue to process your information.

3.  Information processed under a contract

In order to provide my services, or in situations where you have requested that I provide my services, I must collect and record your personal information, including Contact Information, Identity Information and Service Information.

This information is processed on the basis of Contract.

I continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.

4.  Information I process with your consent

Through actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you contact me, you provide your consent to me to process

personal information that may include Identity Information, Contact Information, Service Information and Technical Information.

I continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent by telling me or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

5.  Information I process for the purposes of legitimate interests

I may process information on the basis there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to me of doing so.

Where I process your information on this basis, I do so after having given careful consideration to:

•              whether the same objective could be achieved through other means;

•              whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm; and

•              whether you would expect me to process your data, and whether you would, in the round, consider it reasonable to do so.

For example, I may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:

•              record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of my business; and

•              protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party.

6.   Information I process because I have a legal obligation

Sometimes, I must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.

For example, I may be required to give your personal information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.

I do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for my sole discretion as to whether I do give information, and if I do, what that information is.

If a dispute is not settled then I hope you will agree to attempt to resolve it by engaging in good faith with me in a process of mediation or arbitration.
