What Are the Legal Bases we use for Processing Your Information?

The GDPR requires us to rely on one or more lawful bases to use your personal information. We consider the bases listed below to be relevant:

• Where you have provided your consent for us to use your personal information in a certain way (for example, we will ask for your consent to send you marketing material by email, and we may ask for your explicit consent to collect special categories of your personal information).
• Where necessary so that we can comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, where we are obliged to share your personal information with regulatory bodies which govern our work and services).
• Where necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract (for example, to process a purchase or enable your access to subscription content).
• Where there is a legitimate interest in us doing so if it is reasonably necessary to achieve our or others’ legitimate interests (as long as that processing is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact your rights).

“Legitimate Interests” means our interests in conducting and managing our business as a leading provider of business intelligence in the technology and fintech sectors. For example, we have an interest in making sure our marketing is relevant for you, so we may process your information to send you marketing that is tailored to your interests. We also have an interest in promoting our products and services to potential new clients using information freely available in the public domain.

It can also apply to processing that is in your interests as well. For example, we may process your information to protect you against fraud when transacting on our website, and to ensure our websites and systems are secure.

When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection legislation. Our legitimate interests do not automatically override your interests - we will not use your personal information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

If you have any concerns about our processing, you have the right to object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests. For more information on your rights, please see Section 12 on “Your Rights” below.

Will We Ever Share Your Information?

We may use selected agents to process your information on our behalf, such as online payment service providers, or website development agencies maintaining or upgrading the website infrastructure and database containing your information. Such information will only be processed in such a way as to fulfil our contractual obligations to you (eg, as part of a purchase agreement), or for testing and quality control purposes (eg, upgrading and securing our systems and databases). Such third parties will be authorised to see and use your information but only to fulfil their contractual obligations to us and will not be permitted to use it for any other purpose. We retain full responsibility for how your personal information may be used by such agents.

In exceptional circumstances we may share your information when we are legally required to do so.

Outside of the above, we will never share or sell your data to anyone for any purpose.

How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?

We place great importance on the security of your personal information and we always try to take appropriate precautions to protect it. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help us protect your personal data from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. For example when we transmit highly confidential data (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption.

Despite all of our precautions however, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So, whilst we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information which you send to us and you must understand that you do so at your own risk.

How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Information For?

The length of time we hold your personal information varies depending upon the type of information and its use. We will hold your personal information on our systems only for as long as necessary to provide the services and/or products that you have requested, or for such other essential purposes such as investigating disciplinary matters, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements.

Below are some guidelines as to the length of time that we hold data:

Where Do We Store and Process Your Information?

As a UK-based business, where possible we endeavour to store and process your information within the UK. Our website and email servers are all hosted within the UK, for example.

There may be occasions where we will need to transfer/collect/process data using a third party platform based in another country. In this case, we only do so to countries which have been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection/or where we transfer personal information to countries that have not been determined to have an adequate level of protection we do so using a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts, to help ensure your rights and protections.

What Are Your Rights?

You have specific rights connected to provision of your personal information to us. These include your rights to request that we:

• confirm to you what personal information we may hold about you, if any, and for what purposes
• change the consent which you have provided to us in relation to your personal information
• correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information which we may hold about you
• provide you with a complete copy of your personal data for you to move elsewhere
• provide you with a complete copy of your personal information for you to move elsewhere where you have provided this information by consent or by a contract with us
• stop the processing of your personal information, whilst an objection from you is being resolved
• permanently erase all your personal information promptly, and confirm to you that this has been done(there may be reasons why we may be unable to do this)
• stop the processing of your personal information for the purpose of direct marketing

You also have the right to

• withdraw consent that you have provided to us to process your personal information, at any time
• query or object to profiling or to any decisions being taken by us by automated means

If you have a concern about the way we are collecting or using your personal data, if we do not address your request, or fail to provide you with a valid reason why we have been unable to do so, you have the right to contact the Information Commissioner’s Office to make a complaint. They can be contacted via their website https://ico.org.uk/concerns or by telephone 0303 123 1113.
