Protecting your personal data
Asprey has several GDPR compliant processes and procedures as follows:
- All key Asprey employees have received training in GDPR and how to handle your personal data
- Access to your personal data is restricted to the relevant employees/departments that are required to process your data
- Where hard copies are created, these are securely kept.
- According to each business unit’s process and procedure, your personal data will be periodically reviewed and securely deleted if required
- All personal information is transferred by secure email to secure servers on site, to which access is granted only to key personnel.
How long will we keep your personal data for?
By law we have to keep basic information about out customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data, which means 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.
Who will we share your personal data with?
We will sometimes need to share your personal data with our trusted third parties, these can include:
- Delivery couriers including, but not limited to, Fedex, DHL, Royal Mail and pallet carriers
- Service engineers
- HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities acting as processors or joint controllers based in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. 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.
Your legal rights over your personal data
You have the rights under the data protection laws in relation to your personal data including:
- Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or out of date data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Request erasure of your personal data .This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no Business or legal reason for us continuing to process it.
- Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a Legitimate Interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Withdraw consent any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
- Please email us on requesting for Data Subject Access Request if you wish to exercise any of these rights.
- No fee in most cases – You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. There is the possibility that we will refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
- What we may need from you – to protect your personal data we will ask you to verify your identity before proceeding with your request 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.
If you have authorised a third party to submit a request on your behalf, we will request proof that they have your permission to do so.
- Time limit to respond - We will respond to all legitimate requests within 1 month from the date of receipt of your request. Occasionally, it may take us longer if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. Where you are sending us a request via post rather than email, we recommend you send it via recorded delivery to guarantee safe delivery.
