This is necessary for our legitimate interests in growing and developing our business, including our services. In addition, you will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased services from us and, in each case, have not opted out of receiving that marketing. However, we will ask for express consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes. You can ask us to stop sending marketing communications by contacting us.

  • Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you
  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, including the prevention of crime

If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is consistent with the original purpose, please contact our DPO. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you, and we will explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent in compliance with the above rules where this is required or permitted by law.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

Your personal data will only be disclosed to those of our employees or workers who have a need for such access for the purpose for which it was collected. Your personal data will not be disclosed to any other individuals or other entities except in the following circumstances:

  • On occasion, we need to hire other companies to help us to serve you better and in some of these cases, we may need to share personal data that is necessary to perform tasks for us, such as market research companies
  • Where it is necessary for the performance of our contract with you, including where you have asked us to do so or where we need to take steps to enforce any contract which may be entered into between us
  • Where we are under a legal duty to do so in order to comply with any legal obligation
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of our business, our employees and workers, customers, suppliers, and others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction.

We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company, and its subsidiaries, as such terms are defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006 (as amended from time to time).

If a third party acquires us or substantially all of our assets, personal data that we hold about our customers will be one of the transferred assets.

We require all third parties that process personal data on our behalf to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. Accordingly, we do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your personal data is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the personal data we collect. In addition, the access to and use of the personal data that we collect is restricted to our employees who need the personal data to perform a specific job role or activity. Where personal data is shared with third parties in line with this privacy policy, responsible measures are used to protect your personal data.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorized access. Therefore, we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data on the internet.

International transfers

Most of our employees and our group companies are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data inside and outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of or into the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission, which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
  • Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield, which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism we use when transferring your personal data in or out of the EEA.

Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Other websites and links

Our website may contain links to other websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy policies or for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed in such websites. We do not investigate, monitor, or check third-party websites for accuracy or completeness, and the inclusion of any linked website on or through our website does not imply approval or endorsement by us of the linked website.

Suppose you decide to leave this website and access these third-party websites, plug-ins, and/or applications; you do so at your own risk. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit. 

Push notifications

We may, from time to time, send push notifications. “Push notification” means a message that is delivered directly by GlobalReach Technology to your device during the course of providing the services to you. You can change your push notifications preferences to opt-out (or to request and enable push notifications) at any time by modifying the settings within your device’s notification settings.

We may insert a tracking pixel into marketing emails that you have signed up for or requested, and these are used to gauge feedback from our marketing interactions. This data is never sold or passed on to third parties. You may opt out of our marketing notifications at any time. Your email application should allow you to block such tracking pixels.

The right to access – You have the right to request copies of your personal data. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any of your other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

CCPA & CDPA Privacy Policy 

  • CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
  • CDPA (Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act)

Under these policies and acts, among other rights, consumers have the right to:

  • Request that a business that collects a consumer’s personal data disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about consumers
  • Request that a business delete any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected
  • Request that a business that sells a consumer’s personal data not sell the consumer’s personal data

Additionally, the CDPA surpasses the CCPA in its imposition of security and assessment requirements upon companies. – Please see our Information Security Policy about our commitment to securing your personal data within our platforms. 

Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs)

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any of your other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Children’s Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.

GlobalReach Technology does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information (PII) from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will do our best to promptly remove such information from our records.
