Your rights

You can exercise your rights by sending an email to [email protected]

You have the right to access the information we hold about you. This includes the right to ask us supplementary information about:

  • the categories of data we’re processing
  • the purposes of data processing
  • the types of third parties to whom the data may be disclosed
  • how long the data will be stored (or the criteria used to determine that period)
  • your other rights regarding our use of your data

We will provide you with the information within one month of your request unless doing so would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others (e.g. another person’s confidentiality or intellectual property rights). We’ll tell you if we can’t meet your request for that reason.

You have the right to make us correct any inaccurate personal data about you.

You can object to us using your data for profiling or making automated decisions about you.

We will use your data to determine whether we should let you know information relevant to you (for example, tailoring emails or social media advertising to you based on your behaviour).

You have the right to port your data to another service. We will give you a copy of your data in CSV format so that you can provide it to another service.

If you ask us, and it is technically possible, we will directly transfer the data to the other service for you. We will not do so to the extent that this involves disclosing data about any other individual.

You have the right to be ‘forgotten’ by us. You can do this by asking us to erase any personal data we hold about you if it is no longer necessary for us to store the data for purposes of your relationship with BOYDSense or any other law.

You have the right to complain about our use of your data; please tell us first so we have a chance to address your concerns. If we fail in this, you can address any complaint to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, either by calling their helpline or as directed on their website at www.ico.org.uk.

Or, if you are outside of the UK, you can make a complaint to your local supervisory authority. Details can be found by following this link:

Security

We do everything we can to ensure the security of your data.

In today’s data-driven and connected world, the security of your data is more critical than ever. We recognise this and have implemented security to keep your data safe.

All staff are bound by confidentiality and will never disclose or share your data unless authorised to do so.

BOYDSense’s data protection role

BOYDSense is a controller in relation to data we collect online. There are instances where BOYDSense is a processor, for example, where we process data for a client. As a controller and as a processor, we use 3rd parties to process data.

Who do we share your data with and where is it stored?

Like most companies, BOYDSense utilises 3rd parties to provide services to our customers and to store data.

These 3rd parties will be based in the UK, EEA and in some cases outside of both the UK and EEA.

BOYDSense conducts thorough reviews of all its 3rd parties, including implementing data processing agreements, where possible, to ensure that every possible safeguard is in place and that the data is secure. Should there be a possibility that data could be exposed to a high level of risk, a Data Protection Impact Assessment will be completed and will be available upon request.

Where data is transferred outside of the UK, and the EEA BOYDSense has taken steps to ensure that your data is transferred under a lawful condition or safeguard as described in the GDPR.

We may share your information, including personal information, as follows:

  • Affiliates. We may disclose the information we collect from you to our affiliates or subsidiaries; however, if we do so, their use and disclosure of your personal information will be subject to this Privacy Policy.
  • Service Providers. We may disclose the information we collect from you to third party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform functions on our behalf.

We may also share your information in the following circumstances:

  • Business Transfers. If we are acquired by or merged with another company, if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another company, or as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, we may transfer the information we have collected from you to the other company.
  • In Response to Legal Process. We also may disclose the information we collect from you in order to comply with the law, a judicial proceeding, court order, or other legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena.
  • To Protect Us and Others. We also may disclose the information we collect from you where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use or this Privacy Policy, or as evidence in litigation in which BOYDSense is involved.
  • Aggregate and De-Identified Information. We may share aggregate or de-identified information about users with third parties for marketing, advertising, research, or similar purposes.

Links To Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website.

Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy notice. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy notice applicable to the website in question.

Marketing

We would love to keep in touch with you. When you provide us with your details or where we have collected your data lawfully, we will send you marketing emails to keep in touch and keep you updated on our products and services. We will also display customised advertising when you log in to your social media profiles.

These messages will be BOYDSense specific; we do not sell your data or share it with other companies for advertising purposes; your data is used only to promote BOYDSense

Our marketing messages are sent via a specialist marketing tool. You can opt-out of marketing at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in your emails or by contacting us directly.

There will be occasions when we send administrative messages. These messages are not deemed marketing and cannot be opted out of.

Marketing and administration emails you receive from us contain a tracking pixel. This pixel lets us know things such as our email campaigns' open rates and click rates.

The pixel also lets us know if an email has not been delivered to update our records and keep them current.

When we analyse the data, we do so from an aggregated perspective, meaning that we report upon an overall number of open rates and click rates.

Blogs/Community

Our Web Properties may offer publicly accessible blogs or community forums. You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them.

To request removal of your information from our blog or community forum, contact us at [email protected]. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

Children Under 13

Our Web Properties and services are not designed for children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our systems.

Payment processing

BOYDSense does not collect your payment details online or process them in any way.

How long is your data stored?

Once per year, we cleanse data to ensure that we only process the data of those individuals who have an ongoing and active relationship with BOYDSense or where BOYDSense has a legitimate interest to continue to process the data.

As part of our Record of Processing Activities, we have defined the length of time we store our data. Should your data be due for deletion, it will be erased during the yearly data cleanse.
