Welcome to the IT Contractors UK privacy policy. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. We practice strict data minimisation; this means we generally do not collect much personal data, and we will only collect and process your information after taking your explicit permission. This policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website and tell you about your privacy rights.
Purpose of this privacy policy
This policy aims to give you information on how IT Contractors UK collects and processes your personal data through your use of this website, including any data you may provide when you explicitly consent to register an account, sign up for newsletters, or use our services. This website is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.
Controller
IT Contractors UK is the controller and responsible for your personal data (collectively referred to as "we", "us" or "our" in this privacy policy). If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact us using the details provided on our Contact Us page.
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. Because we do not collect much data, we limit our collection to the absolute minimum required to provide our services, which may include:
We use different methods to collect data from and about you, primarily ensuring we have your explicit permission first. This includes:
We will only use your personal data when the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK-GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 allow us to. Most commonly, we rely on Consent as our lawful basis, meaning we process your data primarily because you have given us your explicit permission to do so.
We may also use your personal data in the following legal circumstances:
Marketing: You will only receive marketing communications from us if you have explicitly opted in to receive them. You can withdraw this permission at any time.
We do not routinely share your data. However, we may share your minimal personal data with the parties set out below for the specific purposes set out in Section 4:
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring appropriate safeguards are implemented, such as using specific contracts approved for use in the UK.
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.
Because we practice data minimisation, we will only retain your personal data for as short a time as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Under data protection laws, you have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to:
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
We keep our privacy policy under regular review. We will post any updated copy of our privacy policy on this page. If there are major changes, we may also notify you by email or other means. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
