References to “you” and “your” means each natural or legal person who uses our website or the associated services.

The personal data we process because of your visiting our website depends on the data you provide to us.  If you access our site but do not interact further with us, we will only process the data contained in cookies (see ‘Cookies’ for more info).  Should you decide to interact with us by, for example, submitting a request form we will process the data you provide for the purposes stated on the form.

By continuing to use the website and by providing any personal data (including sensitive personal data) to us either via the website or email addresses provided on the website, visitors are consenting to the use of your personal data as set out in this Privacy Policy. Please do not send us any personal data if you do not want that information to be used by us in this manner. By providing us with your personal data you give us your consent to use it to provide you with the requested service(s).

 

Third-party Links

Links to other websites may not operate under our privacy practices and therefore if you access these links our privacy practices will no longer apply.  Please review each site’s privacy policy before disclosing any personally identifiable information.

 

Data Security

Please note that communications over the internet cannot be guaranteed as secure.  Whilst we take appropriate steps to protect your data, we cannot guarantee that it will remain secure in transit; any transmission is at your own risk.  Once data reaches you or your network it is your responsibility to ensure it remains secure. Once we have received your information, we will use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access, loss, or damage.

 

How we protect your information

We take the security of your data very seriously and use strict procedures to protect it.  All information you provide to us is stored on remote secure servers within Europe. Where possible, we try to only process your information within the UK and European Economic Area (EEA). We may be required transfer your information outside the European Economic Area (EEA) e.g., if requested to by law or to fulfil any legal obligation. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the EEA so, if we do transfer your information, we will take the necessary steps to ensure that your privacy rights are still protected.

 

Data

All the personal data we hold about you will be processed by our staff.  No third parties will have access to your personal data unless there is a legal obligation for us to provide them with this. We may also process your personal data if it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps to enter a contract. An example of this would be processing your data in connection with providing you with services. Where your information is used other than in accordance with one of these uses, we will first obtain your consent to that use. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is processed securely.

​

Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will only be shared with third parties including other data controllers where it is necessary for the performance of the data controllers’ duties or where you first give us your prior consent. It is likely that we will need to share your data with:

  • Members of staff and subcontractors

  • Our agents, suppliers, and contractors.

 

Data Subject Rights

Tim Ingham acts as the Data Controller for all personal data submitted through our website.

 

Accordingly, you may exercise several rights over your data including:

  • Correct your data: you will be able to amend any information that we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete.

  • Request access to your data: You can ask for access to the personal data that we hold about you so that you can check that we are using your information in accordance with data protection law.

  • Erase your data: you can ask us to delete your personal data fully or partially where there is no statutory or regulatory obligation for us to keep using it. We may retain your email address to make sure the restriction is respected in future. We also have the right to continue using your information if such usage is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations.

  • Download your data or send it to another controller: You can obtain a copy of the data you provided us in a machine-readable format. In addition, where certain conditions apply, you have the right to have such information transferred directly to a third party.

  • Object to the use of your data: you can ask that we no longer use your personal data where that use is based on a legitimate interest.

  • Restrict the use of your data: You have the right to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your information in certain circumstances (for example, where you think the information, we are using about you is inaccurate, whilst we verify its accuracy). When usage is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further.

  • Right to withdraw consent: If you have given your consent for us to use your information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This can be done by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

 

We will handle your data subject rights in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and any national laws.  Should you need to exercise any of your data subject rights please contact our Data Protection Officer at tim@tibss.co.uk.

If you are dissatisfied with the way we have handled your personal data and we are unable to resolve the issue for you, you may take the matter to the Information Commissioner’s Office.  Further details can be found via their website at www.ico.org.uk.
