Privacy Policy
Who we are, and how to get in touch!
We’re officially called CloudComm 360 Limited, but the name we will use throughout this policy is CloudComm 360. We’re a provider of Communication Services.
Our registered office is 1 Kirk House, Kirkgate, Birstall, Leeds WF17 9HE and if you need to phone us our telephone number is 0208 902 5551
In General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) terms, we’re the data controller which just means that we’re responsible for deciding why we store your information, and what it’s used for.
Definitions
To us “Personal Data” means any information that can identify you (such as your name, your telephone number or your address).
A “Data Subject” is the person that might be identified from the Personal Data (which could be you).
Who do we collect information from?
We collect Personal Data from our:
clients (existing and prospective);
suppliers (existing and prospective);
employees; and
candidates who apply to work for CloudComm 360
The type of data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.
The type of personal information we typically collect is “reasonably necessary” in order for us to help manage the delivery of our services. For example, it could include contact information like your name, title, email address, business address, or telephone number(s).
If it helps us improve our services, we might store your Personal Data on our databases. We’ll also keep it to make sure we have clear and complete records.
We will not collect any Personal Data from you that is unnecessary or irrelevant.
When we might contact you
Because of what we do, we need to keep and store data about our clients and suppliers. This will include our clients or suppliers’ contact details (such as email addresses and phone numbers) so we can effectively deliver our services.
We’ll use this data to maintain contact with our clients and suppliers and to let you know about any company updates or relevant information about support services. We’ll only do this during the agreed length of our contract.
We may also contact our current clients, and any prospective clients, through a targeted marketing campaign or maybe a survey to fill in. Surveys are really important to us because they give us the information we need to improve and develop our business. But, you don’t need to respond to our surveys if you don’t want to.
Should you (or any Data Subject) no longer wish to receive communications about our services (through SMS, phone, email, post), or other marketing information (such as newsletters) and relevant information (such as industry publications) then just get in touch with us and we’ll take you off our list.
And one more thing, telephone conversations or emails may also be stored in our systems, in case it is needed to refer back to them at any point.
Why we’re allowed to contact you
After taking a look at how we use Personal Data, we believe that we have a “legitimate interest” to use your data. That means we think processing your data is relevant and important for our business. We think we have a legitimate interest because:
the success of our business depends on the requirement to gather information in order to help deliver our products and services to clients and to help further improve and develop
the Personal Data held is minimal and restricted to a name and email address
all information is held at a business level, so there should be no impact upon the individual’s home life and rights to privacy
as individuals have job roles connected with the services we supply, it would not be surprising or intrusive for them to receive marketing or other information
we believe that the marketing information provided to the individuals carries a potential benefit to them, and the business that employs them, which outweighs the minimal effect of receiving occasional emails
individuals whose details are held by CloudComm 360 have been contacted via email on numerous occasions and are likely to be reasonably aware that they are on CloudComm 360’s marketing/mailing list
Data Subjects will be afforded an unsubscribe/opt-out option which will always be honoured as appropriate
any unsubscribes are held in a separate database so that they cannot be added back into the CloudComm 360’s directory in the future.
Who will we share your Personal Data with?
As part of our operations, we might share your Personal Data with other entities within the CloudComm 360 group.
We may also be required to share your Personal Data with third-party service providers for the provision of our services, the provision of insurance, facilitation of payments, tax authorities and administration support services for facilitating communications and surveys.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the terms of service with our third-party service providers recognise that we are bound by obligations to protect the privacy of your personal information.
Any Personal Data provided to us may be stored on our database and/or systems and transferred between any of the locations in which we operate, including those countries outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA). Countries outside of the EEA may not have data protection laws which are as stringent as those countries which form part of the EEA, however, CloudComm 360 has processes in place to ensure your information and privacy are protected when information is transferred to other countries.
International Data Transfers
For regulatory, statutory or contractual purposes, we may be required to share your Personal Data with other CloudComm 360 entities, third parties or clients outside the European Economic Area. Please note that overseas entities may not be subject to privacy regimes that are equivalent to the privacy regime in Europe. However, the CloudComm 360 entities are required to treat your personal information with confidentiality and to only use and disclose your personal information for purposes that are set out in this
Privacy Policy.
Typical safeguards deployed to protect your Personal Data during international transfers consist of:
Third-party data processing agreements;
Inter-company data processing agreements;
Encryption of sensitive and confidential data;
Password-protected folders;
Strict access controls;
Defined retention periods; and
Secure email transfers.
Retention
The Personal Data CloudComm 360 collects is only retained for as long as it is needed. The criteria we use to determine the period can vary for each type of data, which depends on statutory or contractual obligations. Following the expiry of this designated period, your Personal Data will be securely deleted.
Data Subject Rights
CloudComm 360 is committed to facilitating your rights, where you are fully entitled to the following:
Obtain or gain access to the Personal Data we hold about you on our records.
Editing or updating Personal Data that you believe is inaccurate.
The restriction of processing your Personal Data.
