Data Protection

References in this Policy to:

“Data Protection Law” means: the Data Protection Act 1998 (until repealed) (“DPA”), the Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC) (until repealed) and, from 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) or any equivalent provision which may replace the GDPR following the formal political separation of the United Kingdom from the European Union; the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000; the Telecommunications (Lawful Business Practice) (Interception of Communications) Regulations 2000 (SI 2000/2699); the Electronic Communications Data Protection Directive (2002/58/EC); the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (SI 2426/2003); and all applicable laws and regulations which may be in force from time to time relating to the processing of Personal Data and privacy, including where applicable the guidance and codes of practice issued by the Information Commissioner or any other supervisory authority, and the equivalent of any of the foregoing in any relevant jurisdiction; and

“Personal Data”, “Data Controller”, “Data Processor” and “processing” shall have the meanings given to them in the DPA or, from 25 May 2018, the GDPR.

For the purposes of applicable Data Protection Law, we, Winner Recruitment (Birmingham) Limited are the Data Controller and therefore we are responsible for, and control the processing of, your Personal Data in accordance with applicable Data Protection Law. “Personal Data” has a legal definition but, in brief, it refers to information from which a living person can be identified. Such information must be protected in accordance with Data Protection Law.

Information we may collect about you

We will collect information about you when you visit the Site or do business with us through the Site (including setting up accounts or ordering services from us). This information may include your name, your contact details (including postal address, email address and telephone number), your payment details (i.e. relating to any payment you make to us in connection with our services), any other information we request from time to time to enable us to provide the Site and our service to you, and any other information you provide to us (together the “Information”). Some of the Information may constitute or include Personal Data.

We may monitor your use of the Site through the use of cookies and similar tracking devices. We may also monitor traffic, location and other data and information about visitors to the Site for management purposes. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually. See the “Cookies” section below for further information on our use of cookies.

Occasionally we may receive information about you from other sources, which we will add to the information we already hold about you in order to help us provide services and to improve and personalise our service via the Site to you.

Additionally we may collect information on your use of the Site, such as pages visited, links clicked, non-sensitive text entered, and mouse movements, as well as information more commonly collected such as the referring URL, browser, operating system, cookie information, and Internet Service Provider (“Usage Data”). Our purpose in collecting Usage Data is to better understand how our users use the Site.

Safety of Children and COPPA

Our services are not intended for and may not permissibly be used by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from persons under 13 or allow them to register. If it comes to our attention that we have collected personal data from such a person, we may delete this information without notice. If you have reason to believe that this has occurred, please contact info@winnerrecruitment.co.uk.

How long we keep your information

We will keep your Information only for as long as we need to hold it for the purposes set out in this Policy.

However, if required we will be entitled to hold Information for longer periods in order to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations.

Legal basis for processing your information

From 25 May 2018, under applicable Data Protection Law we may only process your Information if we have a “legal basis” (i.e. a legally permitted reason) for doing so. For the purposes of this Policy, our legal basis for processing your Information is:

your consent (for which see below); or

subject to your rights set out below (see “Your Rights”), the legitimate interest of providing services to our users through the Site, which requires the processing of your Information to enable us to provide these services.

Your consent to processing

As noted above, you will be required to give consent to the processing of your Information as set out in this Policy. We will seek this consent from you when you first submit Information to or through the Site. If you do not consent to such processing you should not submit any Information to or through the Site.

If you have previously given consent you may freely withdraw such consent at any time. You can do this through your account on the Site or by notifying us in writing using our contact details below.

If you withdraw your consent, and if we do not have another legal basis for processing your information (see above), then we will stop processing your Information. If we do have another legal basis for processing your information then we may continue to do so subject to your legal rights (for which see “Your Rights” below).

Please note that if we need to process your Information in order to operate the Site and/or provide our services, and you object or do not consent to us processing your Information, the Site and/or those services may not be available to you.

How we use your Information

We will use your Information for the following purposes:

  • to help us identify you and any user accounts you hold with us;
  • administration of user accounts and any services our users order from us;
  • research, statistical analysis and behavioural analysis;
  • to provide insights based on aggregated, anonymous data collected through the research and analysis referred to above;
  • marketing (see ‘Marketing and opting out’ below);
  • fraud prevention and detection;
  • billing and order fulfilment;
  • customising the Site and its content to your particular preferences;
  • to notify you of any changes to the Site or to our services that may affect you;
  • security vetting; and
  • improving our services.

Marketing and opting out

If you have given permission, we and our group companies may wish to provide you with information by email about special features of the Site or any of our other services we think may be of interest to you. We will inform you (before collecting your data) and seek your permission if we intend to use your data for such purposes. If you would rather not receive this marketing information, or you no longer wish to receive it, you can always decline and/or opt out (see below).

If you have given permission, we may also want to contact you by email to provide you with information we think may be of interest to you from carefully selected third parties. Again, we will inform you (before collecting your data) and seek your permission if we intend to use your data for such purposes. If you would rather not receive such third party information from us, or you no longer wish to receive it, you can always decline and/or opt out (see below).

If you have given permission, we may share your personal data with carefully selected third party organisations and business partners and they may contact you directly (unless you have asked them not to do so) by email about services that may be of interest to you. As above, we will inform you (before collecting your data) and seek your permission if we intend to disclose your data to third parties for such purposes. If you prefer not to receive direct marketing communications from our business partners, or you no longer wish to receive them, you can decline and/or opt out at any time (see below).

You have the right at any time to ask us, or any third party, to stop processing your Information for direct marketing purposes. If you wish to exercise this right, you should contact us by sending an email to info@winnerrecruitment.co.uk, or contact the relevant third party suing their given contact details, giving us or them enough information to identify you and deal with your request. Alternatively you can follow the unsubscribe instructions in emails you receive from us or them.

Disclosure of your information

We may disclose your Information (including Personal Data) to:

other companies within our group;

  • our agents and service providers who help us to provide our services (and we will ensure they have appropriate measures in place to protect your Information);
  • third parties you wish to allow to access to your Information through the Site;
  • law enforcement agencies and/or HMRC in connection with any investigation to help prevent unlawful activity; and
  • our business partners in accordance with the ‘Marketing and opting out’ section above.

If our business is sold or integrated with another business your Information may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchasers and their advisers and will be passed on to the new owners of the business.

We may disclose aggregated, anonymous information (i.e. information from which you cannot be personally identified), or insights based on such anonymous information, to selected third parties, including (without limitation) analytics and search engine providers to assist us in the improvement and optimisation of the Site. In such circumstances we do not disclose any information which can identify you personally.

Keeping your Information secure

We will use technical and organisational measures in accordance with good industry practice to safeguard your Information. However, while we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your Information, you acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any Information that is transferred from you or to you via the internet.

Monitoring

We may monitor and record communications with you (such as telephone conversations and emails) for the purpose of quality assurance, training, fraud prevention and compliance. Any information that we receive through such monitoring and communication will be added to the information we already hold about you and may also be used for the purposes listed in above.

Information about other individuals

If you give us information on behalf of a third party, you confirm that the third party has appointed you to act on his/her/their behalf and has agreed that you can:

  • give consent on his/her/their behalf to the processing of his/her/their Information;
  • receive on his/her/their behalf any data protection notices; and
  • give consent to the transfer of his/her/their Information abroad (if applicable).

Overseas transfers

From time to time we may need to transfer your Information to countries outside the European Economic Area, which comprises the EU member states plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein (‘EEA’). Such countries may not have similar protections in place regarding protection and use of your data as those set out in this Policy. Therefore, if we do transfer your Information to countries outside the EEA we will take reasonable steps in accordance with applicable Data Protection Law to ensure adequate protections are in place to protect the security of your Information.

By submitting your Information to us in accordance with this Policy you consent to these transfers for the purposes specified in this Policy.

Your rights

If you are an individual, this section sets out your legal rights in respect of any of your Personal Data that we are holding and/or processing. If you wish to exercise any of your legal rights you should put your request in writing to us (using our contact details below) giving us enough information to identify you and respond to your request.

You have the right (which up until 25 May 2018 may be subject to the payment of a small fee) to request information about Personal Data that we may hold and/or process about you, including: whether or not we are holding and/or processing your Personal Data; the extent of the Personal Data we are holding; and the purposes and extent of the processing.

You have the right to have any inaccurate information we hold about you be corrected and/or updated. If any of the Information that you have provided changes, or if you become aware of any inaccuracies in such Information, please let us know in writing giving us enough information deal with the change or correction.

You have the right in certain circumstances to request that we delete all Personal Data we hold about you (the ‘right of erasure’). Please note that this right of erasure is not available in all circumstances, for example where we need to retain the Personal Data for legal compliance purposes. If this is the case we will let you know.

You have the right in certain circumstances to request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Data, for example where the Personal Data is inaccurate or where you have objected to the processing (see below).

You have the right to request a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to have it provided in a structured format suitable for you to be able to transfer it to a different data controller (the ‘right to data portability’). Please note that the right to data portability is only available in some circumstances, for example where the processing is carried out by automated means. If you request the right to data portability and it is not available to you we will let you know.

You have the right in certain circumstances to object to processing of your Personal Data. If so, we shall stop processing your Personal Data unless we can demonstrate sufficient and compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the processing which override your own interests.

You have the right in certain circumstances not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, for example where a computer algorithm (rather than a person) makes decisions which affect your contractual rights. Please note that this right is not available in all circumstances. If you request this right and it is not available to you we will let you know.

You have the right to object to direct marketing, for which see (‘Marketing and opting out’) above.

Complaints

If you have any concerns about how we collect or process your Information then you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, which for the UK is the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (‘ICO’). Complaints can be submitted to the ICO through the ICO helpline by calling 0303 123 1113. Further information about reporting concerns to the ICO is available at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/.
