We may collect and process the following data about you:
information that you provide to us by filling in forms on the Website or otherwise by contacting us using the Contact form provided on the Website -this information may include your name, address, date of birth, email address and any other information you provide to us when contacting us for any other reason;
information that you provide to us if you ask us to provide you with other marketing communications such as information about our products or services;
records of your correspondence (if any) with us;
information provided to us if we have some other commercial or business relationship with you or with your employer (for example, a supply, purchase, distribution or referral relationship). This could include your contact details (name, job title, email address, postal address, telephone number), any related communications, and any related documents (such as contracts, purchase orders and invoices, proposal, etc.);
information relating to payments we make to you or receive from you (payments data), which may include your contact details, your payment account details and the transaction details. We do not typically collect or process credit or debit card details, which are instead collected by our nominated payment processing service provider; and information relating to any visit you make to our premises, such as your vehicle registration number, contact details, role, the purpose of your visit, together with CCTV images or footage if you enter any secure area where CCTV is used
Your personal data may be provided to us by someone other than you, with whom you and we are both connected (e.g. a distributor in your territory, someone with whom you and we are both collaborating, or your employer if we are doing business with them and they need us to liaise with you), or may be gathered by us in our market research if you have a public profile at a corporate entity with whom we do business or wish to do business.
If you are a family member or otherwise associated with one of our employees, then that employee may provide us with your personal data (such as your name and contact details) in connection with company benefits or our duties as an employer. For example, you could be nominated as a driver of a company car, identified as an emergency contact, identified in an expression-of-wishes form in relation to death-in-service benefits, or identified as a co-parent in a paternity leave application.
We may also collect, use and share special categories of personal data (for example about your physical or mental health) if you give this information to us.
IP Addresses and Cookies
We may collect information about your computer, including, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and statistical analysis.

Where We Store Your Personal Information
All information you provide to us or that we collect from you is stored on our secure servers or on the servers of our respective hosting service providers, which we may change from time to time. We may share your personal data with other Owen Mumford group companies, or our service providers as described below, and our or their servers may be located outside the EEA. Therefore, the information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EEA. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our group companies or suppliers (for example, in order for the most appropriate member of our group to process and respond to your enquiry).
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to it to that applying within the EEA by ensuring that at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
Your personal data will be transferred to a country that has been assessed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.
Where we use service providers, we will use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
Where we use a service provider based in the US, it will be covered by the Privacy Shield which requires it to provide a similar level of protection to that in Europe to personal data shared between the Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data outside the EEA.
The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will use our best endeavours to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Website and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use suitable procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Uses Made of the Information
We (and where applicable our group companies) use information held about you in the following ways:

for our record-keeping and hosting purposes and in connection with the back-up and restoration of our systems.
Except as provided in this Policy or our Cookie Policy, we do not sell, trade or rent your personal information to third parties and will not share your personal information with third party advertisers.

Disclosure of Your Information
We may share your personal information with any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006, from time to time. For example, group companies may share hosted servers for the storage of their data. Likewise, personal data may be shared between group companies to achieve organisation-wide goals (for instance, ensuring that the appropriate group company is able to respond to your enquiry).
We may disclose your personal information to our third party service providers, in particular those:
who are our advisers, such as insurers, legal or professional advisers, to take advice and manage legal disputes;
who provide us with hosting services;
who provide us with analytics services in relation to the use of the Website;
who provide us with email, marketing and customer relationship management services;
who work for us as consultants or freelance personnel, where their duties involve handling the relevant personal information;
who provide us with logistics and fulfilment services;
who provide us with payment processing services;
who provide us with fraud protection, credit risk reduction or debt recovery services; or
who are designated by you for purposes designated by you (for example, if you ask to be introduced to one of our distributors in our region).
We do not allow our appointed data processors to use your personal information for their own purposes. We only permit them to use your personal data for specified purposes, in accordance with our instructions and applicable law.
We may disclose your personal information if all or the relevant part of our business is acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by us about our customers will be one of the transferred assets;
We may disclose your personal information if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Website Terms of Service or any other terms or agreements.
Some of our group companies, and the third parties to whom we may transfer your personal data, discussed above, may be located outside the EEA or may transfer your personal data to their own service providers located outside the EEA. If so, then we will ensure that transfers by our appointed data processors will only be made lawfully (e.g. to countries in respect of which the European Commission has made an “adequacy decision”, or with appropriate safeguards such as the use of standard clauses approved by the European Commission or the use of the EU-US Privacy Shield). You may contact us if you would like further information about these safeguards
Automated Decision-Making
Automated decision-making takes place when an electronic system uses personal information to make a decision without human intervention.
where it is necessary to enable us to deliver decisions within a shorter time frame and improve efficiency, and appropriate measures are in place to safeguard your rights; and
in limited circumstances, with your explicit written consent and where appropriate measures are in place to safeguard your rights.
We may automatically direct any enquiry you send to us to the most appropriate team within our group of companies based on the location of your IP address. We do this automatically, and without human intervention, to enable us to process and deliver a response to your enquiry within a shorter timeframe and to improve our efficiency at responding to your enquiry. This does not affect your legal rights.
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making, unless we have a lawful basis for doing so and we have notified you.
