All businesses who are self-employed or operate through a small or medium business, should be committed to protecting the data and privacy of all their contacts and/or clients.

Held on our systems and media

Compliance Point 1

All of the above hold personal data that can be stored globally and that’s why they are listed. They have all asked for their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to be accepted.

Like any business operating in Europe

We are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which will safeguard the security of data held in the European Economic Area(EEA) and Globally. UK supervisory authority: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/

Compliance Point 2

The UK supervisory authority: is listed since it provides useful information on what organisations need to do and if complaints can’t be resolved, they are passed on to the Information Commissioner’s Office via the website. In the US this appears to be different in most states.

This Privacy Policy informs you

That we are holding and processing your personal data under a Legal Basis:

The Company will only process personal data where it has a legal basis for doing so. Where the Company does not have a legal reason for processing personal data any processing will be in breach of the Data Protection Laws.

Before transferring personal data to any third party (such as past, current or prospective suppliers, customers and prospects, intermediaries such as insurance or property brokers, persons making an inquiry or complaint and any other third party (such as software solutions providers and back office support), the Company will establish that it has a legal reason for making the transfer.

Compliance Point 3

The data may be sourced from public sites containing contact and profile data, from potential candidates directly, from interactions with potential clients and other connected parties and from other online sources and will be provided to Clients seeking suppliers.

GDPR Annual Assessment

The compliance points are used for the 2019 GDPR Annual Assessment to be done in January 2020 and each year going forward.

Note:

In the US it will be at the state level, the state business department should be able to help. Canada, Australia and New Zealand will be similar. Most European countries have a country wide regulator.
