5. How Do You Use My Personal Data?

Under the Data Protection Legislation, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data which comprises consent, contract, legal obligation and legitimate interests. More details on each lawful basis and examples of how we use your personal data under each basis are as follows:

Consent

Where you have expressly provided your consent to receive communications from us such as results of our research interviews, surveys or newsletters and emails or other marketing information. Consenting to the use of Cookies on Our Site is used to make your experience on Our site more seamless.

Contract

Your personal data is necessary for us to manage our contractual relationship with you and our clients, to keep in touch about projects you may engage us for, research interviews and surveys you have agreed to take part in and keeping you updated with any changes in our terms and policies as well as offering you additional products, services and benefits as a valued customer of ours.

Legitimate Interest

Where you have provided your email address or other personal data to us, either online or offline, we may add you to our database for emails to contact you about news on our services and opportunities. We may also use the personal data collected under this lawful basis to help us analyse and administer, improve and update Our Site for better experience, better service we offer.

Legal Obligation

Certain personal data you provide us is necessary for us to fulfil our legal obligations as a business for example, verifying your age and appropriate use of Our Site, preventing fraud and security breaches. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam. Please note that we do not control the activities of such third parties, nor the data that they collect and use themselves, and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such third parties.

We will only use your personal data for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected unless we reasonably believe that there is another suitable reason to use your personal data for that purpose. If we do use your personal data in this way and you wish us to explain how the new purpose is compatible with the original, please contact us. If we need to use your personal data for a purpose that is unrelated to, or incompatible with, the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, we will inform you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

In some circumstances, where permitted or required by law, we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent. This will only be done within the bounds of the Data Protection Legislation and your legal rights.

6. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?

We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Even if we delete your personal data, it may still exist on backup or archival media for legal, tax or regulatory purposes.

7. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?

We will store or transfer some of your personal data within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the Data Protection Legislation, GDPR, and/or to equivalent standards by law.

We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the United Kingdom or the EEA. These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the Data Protection Legislation as follows: We may use specific contracts with external third parties that are approved by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data to third countries such as the United States of America. These contracts require the same levels of personal data protection that would apply under the Data Protection Legislation. More information is available from the European Commission.Please contact us for further information about the particular data protection mechanisms used by us when transferring your personal data to a third country.

The security of your personal data is essential to us and to protect your data, we take a number of important technical and organisational measures, including the following:

• Limiting access to your personal data to those employees, sub-contractors, and other third parties with a legitimate need to know and ensuring that they are subject to duties of confidentiality and aware of any obligations relating to the use of your personal data by them; and
• Procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data) including notifying you and/or the Information Commissioner’s Office where we are legally required to do so.

8. Do You Share My Personal Data?

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to the following exceptions. If we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party. We may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority. We may also need to share your personal data to relevant authorities for example to facilitate the detection of crime or collection of taxes or duties.

Examples of who we may share your personal data will include:

• Mailchimp, based in the USA, for the purposes of email marketing we may undertake;
• Google Drive, based in the [UK], for the purposes of data storage;
• Our clients, based in the UK, for the purposes of sharing results from research interviews, surveys and to complete services we have been engaged for;
• Our sub-contractors, based in the UK, for the purposes of completing projects for our clients in the not for profit sector; and
• Research bodies, based in the UK, for the purposes of anonymised aggregate data submission or publication.

Any data shared outside of the UK or EEA will be treated in accordance with Part 7 above.

9. How Can I Control My Personal Data?

In addition to your rights under the Data Protection Legislation, set out in Part 3, when you submit personal data via Our Site, we aim to give you strong controls on our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from us which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in our emails and at the point of providing your detail).
