This includes both business and personal information, such as name, address, telephone number, email address, business contact information, business affiliation, title, etc. Personal Information also includes all Sensitive Personal Information (as defined below). Personal Information does not include information about an individual that cannot be used to identify that individual, such as aggregated and deidentified data.

“Sensitive Personal Information” means Personal Information that is especially sensitive and that should be treated with additional respect and protection, often because its improper use or transmission can lead to identity theft or other significant losses. Examples of Sensitive Personal Information include Social Security Number (SSN); National Insurance Number (NI); credit card number; bank account number(s); username(s) and/or password(s); health information, genetic and biometric information; Personal Information of children; and criminal history, as well as information regarded as highly private or sensitive under various laws, such as information regarding race, ethnicity, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, sex life or sexual orientation. Questions regarding whether specific data or information constitutes Sensitive Personal Information should be directed to the Data Privacy Officer.

“Breach” means an unauthorized use or disclosure of Protected Information, including without limitation unauthorized access. While an unprotected transmission of Protected Information may result in a Breach, it is not, by itself, a Breach.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES

The following principles govern our collection, use, retention, transfer, disclosure and destruction of Personal Information, and our reasons for collecting Personal Information:

  1. Lawfulness, Fairness and Transparency: Personal Information will be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. We will inform Data Subjects how we obtain and use their data (primarily through our Privacy Policy on our website).

  2. Purpose Limitation: Personal Information will be collected for specific and legitimate purposes. This means you will know why we are obtaining Personal Information when we obtain it and we will not use it for other purposes without your consent or other lawful basis to do so. 

  3. Minimum Necessary: We do not collect Personal Information we do not need, and we will only retain Personal Information as long as we have a legitimate need for it. We only collect, maintain, use and transmit the minimum amount of Protected Information necessary to accomplish a given task, and we only allow the least amount of people the lowest amount of access necessary to accomplish a legitimate purpose. 

  4. We collect primarily the information you supply us with as well as your IP address.

This includes both protection from external access and internal limitations on who within the company can access Personal Information.

  7. Integrity & Confidentiality: Personal Information will be received, maintained, used and/or transmitted in a matter that ensures appropriate security, including protection from unauthorized or unlawful access, as well as accidental loss, destruction or damage. Data Subjects will be afforded their rights as recognized under applicable laws (including GDPR where applicable).

DATA COLLECTION
