DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Service Providers

In order to provide the Cloud Services we engage third parties to perform functions on our behalf, for example, we use a third party hosting service provider. If you are a customer, we will inform you of the identity of these processors and of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of processors and give you an opportunity to object. We have comprehensive data processing agreements in place with all processors we engage. Where a processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, in most circumstances we remain responsible to you for the performance of those obligations.

Other third parties

If we sell our business, or it undergoes a business transition, your services agreement with us may be transferred as part of the process. As a result, the personal data that we store and process on your behalf may also be incidentally transferred. Where this is likely to occur, we will endeavour to inform you in advance. If you are a customer please see the terms on which we provide your service for further information.

We may also disclose your personal data if we are under a duty to do so in order to comply with any legal obligations; in order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property or safety of business, our customers or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection.

Law enforcement

Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose personal information in response to valid requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will inform you (at the point of collecting your data or as soon as possible thereafter) if we intend to use your data for direct marketing purposes (i.e. providing you with details of our other products and services which we feel may interest you). You will have the option to refuse permission for us to do this when we collect your contact details and in every email we send you, there will always be an option to unsubscribe.

We will obtain your consent before we pass on your information to selected third parties to provide you with information about goods and services that they offer and which could interest you. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by not checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data.

YOUR RIGHTS

The right to be informed about our collection and use of personal data;

You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data. We ensure we do this with our internal data protection policies and through our external website policy. These are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure these are accurate and reflect our data processing activities.

Right to Access Your Personal Information

You have the right to access the personal information that we hold about you in many circumstances, by making a request. This is often termed a ‘Subject Access Request’. If we agree that we are obliged to provide personal information to you, we will provide it to you free of charge and aim to do so within 30 days from when your identity has been confirmed.

We would ask for proof of identity and sufficient information about your interactions with us, so that we can locate your personal information.

If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us as set out below.

Subject Access Request as a Service (SARaaS)

We are committed to providing the information you request as part of your Subject Access Request and have procedures in place to ensure this occurs in a timely fashion.

We do not have agreements in place with any third-party platforms that offer “Subject Access Requests as a Service”. As a responsible data controller of your personal information this represents significant risks when sharing data. The right of access afforded to you, does not obligate data controllers to share data with third-parties. It is our policy to provide the information directly to data subjects ensuring the safety and security of the information throughout the process.

We will monitor future guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office but currently undertake our own reasonable measures to verify the identity of data subjects. We would like to assure you that the protection of your data is our main concern and we are committed to providing information as part of any valid request.

This policy will also apply to the rights set out below.

Right to Correction Your Personal Information

If any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, you may ask us to correct it.

Right to Stop or Limit Our Processing of Your Data

You have the right to object to us processing your personal information for particular purposes, to have your information deleted if we are keeping it too long or have its processing restricted in certain circumstances.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to have personal data erased. This is also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances.

If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us as set out below.

Right to Portability

The right to portability, gives you the right to receive personal data you have provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format. It also gives you the right, to request that a controller transmits this data directly to another controller.

If you would like to exercise any of the rights above, please contact us as set out below.

For more information about your privacy rights

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) regulates data protection and privacy matters in the UK. They make a lot of information accessible to consumers on their website and they ensure that the registered details of all data controllers such as ourselves are available publicly. You can access them here https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public or by calling their helpline on 0303 123 1113.

INFORMATION SECURITY

Security

The security of your personal information is extremely important to us. All information you provide us is stored on our secure servers and we encrypt the transmission of personal information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

Where you have created a user account or where we have given you (or you have chosen) a password which enables you to access our Support Portal, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share that password with anyone.

We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. If you have any questions about security on our Site or our Platform, you can contact us at privacy@keyedin.com.

In the event of a personal data breach, we will, without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the breach to the relevant supervisory authority (Information Commissioner in the UK), unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms. When the data breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we shall communicate the breach to you without undue delay unless data protection legislation stipulates that we are not required to do so.

TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE OF THE EEA, UK AND SWITZERLAND

Where data is transferred out of the EEA, UK or Switzerland to third party processors, we ensure that these organisations provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures for the protection of personal data in line with our legislative obligations. Where necessary we require that any such third party processors execute the relevant Standard Contractual Clauses or adhere to any certification processes issued by governing bodies such as the European Commission.
